Aries: This month started with focus on work and responsibilities, but this will quickly transition to social life and making yourself happy by any means necessary. Aries are known for their initiative and leadership capabilities, and this month will be a great time to exercise these talents. Focus on accessing the fire inside and joining with others to rally for something you feel truly passionate about. Your heart’s desire is the driving force this month and there will be chances to start fresh in relationships. Be prepared at the end of the month to slow down and let what you’ve started unfold naturally.

Taurus: The urge to cultivate new experiences is strong now, but current responsibilities can feel hindering. Maintaining your reputation is important to you, even if you’d rather be off adventuring. Now is a good time to start learning new things that interest you to fill a well of knowledge you can use later down the road. New connections made this month will be extremely enlightening and beneficial. By the end of the month those burdensome responsibilities will start to take care of themselves.

Gemini: January began with the focus turned inward and personal matters of utmost importance. This focus will quickly turn outward and you may find yourself inclined to reach out to others. Geminis are butterflies with a thirst for knowledge and this month will feel natural for expanding your social network and spectrum of knowledge. Gaining new experiences and connections will inspire you to plan adventures and pursue ambitions for increased mental connections with others.

Cancer: Lately your focus may have been tied up in your relationships and responsibilities to others, but as the month goes on the focus on personal needs increases. Desires that have taken the back burner will now come into full view. January will be a good time for self-healing, alone-time and seeking deeper understanding of oneself so as to create deeper connections with others. Stand up for yourself moonchild, for you can only focus on others for so long before you need to take time to care for your equally important needs.

Leo: This month is not the time to go it alone. The focus will be on establishing a solid foundation to take you into the future. Take time to self-care, improve health conditions and break bad habits. Meeting new people and gaining new experiences will expand your perspective for the better. Taking care of established relationships is just as important, and actively promoting harmony in these relationships will ensure they last you through any hard times to come.

Virgo: The growing drive to take care of business will ensure this month is a productive one. Sorting out the details in daily affairs is very important to you, but the danger of this nagging drive to get things done may end up canceling out all your productivity. You need to find the balance between action and taking time to relax; both are necessary for success. Constant action without rest may produce setbacks that sap your energy. Do not forget your needs and pay careful attention to time management. The end of this month will be a good time to begin a new chapter and start anew.

Libra: These past months your energy may have been focused internally, which was surely refreshing for you dear Libra.

Enlivening your current relationships can also bring about desired results. Your creative and artistic mind can shake things up in your daily life and establish refreshing changes for months to come. Working with others will bring double the benefits.

Scorpio: You may have been a busy-body lately, but this month the focus will turn to the home and personal matters. The chance to start fresh will appear this month, so take advantage of this time to deal with any personal matters you may have been avoiding. Spend time on hobbies, pastimes and other recreational activities you may have not paid attention to lately. Don’t doubt your instincts this month; they will guide you in the right direction. Taking time to slow down and center yourself will be beneficial.

Sagittarius: You may have started the month in a comfortable bubble, but this bubble is about to burst. After all this rest you may feel the urge for action and to pursue various interests. This month is great for learning, studying and making new connections. Home life might feel more demanding than usual and the need to focus on yourself and adventure may tempt you to shirk responsibility. Remember: haste is waste, and leaving those you love in the dust will not help you down the line. Focusing on developing control and structure in your daily life will bring the most benefits.

Capricorn: You are still climbing the ladder of success this month. Energy will be focused on developing business plans, gaining money and resources, and other useful activities to continue building your empire. An independence streak may be coming on, but your hands are still tied with others. If you feel you are indebted to others it may be a good time to clear things up, that way the severing of ties may be facilitated and you can fly freer towards the end of the month. Keeping things in order and caring for important valuables will take up most of your energy.

Aquarius: If you have been neglecting important duties or your health, the necessity of these things will become apparent this month.
