January 05, 2017 

Aries  

March 21 – April 19 

There's usually a lot of excitement at the start of a new year, but you could feel less enthused by it all. With a powerful focus on a quieter sector of your chart, this could be a time of reflection for you and an opportunity to let go of anything that no longer serves your best interests. An intuitive hunch could translate into a practical solution to a career dilemma. Make note of any inner nudges. They could prove useful in furthering your goals.

 

Taurus 

May 21 - Jun 20 

The year begins on a very sociable note for you, and this theme continues through the month. With lovely Venus, your ruler, dancing into this sector on January 2, this can be an excellent opportunity to move in new circles and explore other options for networking and enjoying life. Solo? Dating options may be more numerous now, so it's worth getting involved in groups or clubs that reflect your interests and passions. Finally, a decision concerning your future may need careful thought.

  

Gemini 

May 21 - Jun 20 

It seems you'll hit the ground running as 2017 starts. A focus on your chart's topmost sector could encourage you to dive straight in and get to work on a career plan or key ambition. With Venus moving into this zone on January 2, image can count for a lot if you're hoping to get ahead. Dressing appropriately for a job interview or meeting can help pave the way to success. Mercury pushes forward on January 8, meaning fewer frustrations and delays.

  

Cancer 

 Jun 21 - Jul 22 

Perhaps your biggest urge is to move into new territory. With a strong focus on your sector of travel and exploration, you may be looking for a change, and this is certainly reflected by other influences in your solar chart. Nevertheless, it's better to tackle this step by step rather than leap into the unknown. Any misunderstandings you experienced may be due to Mercury's three-week retrograde phase. It pushes forward again on January 8, allowing healing conversations to take place.

 

Leo 

Jul 23 - Aug 22 

With a focus on a more intense sector of your chart, you may feel moved to look deeply into patterns that have held you back for some time. It can be a way of reaffirming your relationship with yourself and being gentler with yourself, too. At work, you might decide to put your all into a plan that could prove very successful. And with Mercury turning direct on January 8, progress may be easier over coming weeks.

 

Virgo 

Aug 23 - Sep 22 

You may find other people inspiring, bewitching, and sometimes confusing, but you certainly won't be bored. They can also keep you guessing. However, you also have your own plans that need attention, so you might have to draw the line if someone seems uncooperative for some reason. Once you've completed your to-do list, you'll feel much better for making a stand and taking control. With Mercury also pushing forward, any frustrations and delays can begin to dissipate.

 

Libra 

Sep 23 - Oct 22 

You may find you're now getting along much better with someone, perhaps because you share a passion or interest. Having this in common could encourage you to remain good friends for the long haul. At the same time, another key focus could encourage you to want to help others and be supportive of those in need. However, go easy in this regard if you already have a lot on your plate. Knowing when to hold back can help you keep up your energy.

 

Scorpio 

Oct 23 - Nov 21 

This first week of the new year could see you spending more of your leisure time with family, friends, or perhaps your latest love interest. And with romantic Venus sashaying into Pisces and your house of fun and games, this could be an ideal time to rekindle a loving relationship. On your own? You may be drawn to someone with a mysterious quality about them. This can be the perfect time to get to know this person better

  

Sagittarius 

Nov 22 - Dec 21 

You may be ready to make a few key decisions concerning your finances, especially if the holiday season proved somewhat expensive. You might also want to exercise more control over this area in general. This week could bring an opportunity to investigate ways to feel more comfortable about money. Even so, there's no point in being too hard on yourself either. Try to strike a happy medium by making allowances for treats or vacations as you save for the future.

 

Capricorn 

Dec 22 - Jan 19 

As you dive into 2017, you might need to tackle those thank-you notes and get ahead of any administrative tasks that built up over the holiday season. With luscious Venus dancing into your sector of communication on January 2, you could be very eager to reach out to new friends you made in recent weeks. Discernment is the key here, though! While you might be ready to embrace them all, some may make better long-term pals than others.

 

Aquarius 

Jan 20 - Feb 18 

Feeling more in control of your finances can help you move into 2017 with more confidence and less anxiety. If you've let money matters slide a little over recent weeks, Mars in this sector can offer encouragement to get back on track. Still, with Venus dancing into this same zone, you may also be tempted by some of the bargains and sales whether you need the items or not. Let your conscience be your guide, as one or two things may be useful.
