Water Vibes for the Love Planets
Get ready for big feelings in relationships as the planets Venus and Mars are fully immersed in the sensitive energy of the water sign during the first week of the month. On January 2, sweet Venus swims through Pisces, in love with fantasy, so invite your romantic and hopelessly idealistic side to play. This creative and open-hearted sign lets you see love through rose-colored glasses, so expect some sentimental passions, romantic daydreams, and more emotional connections in your relationships.
Later this week, on January 6, dynamic Mars retrogrades into nurturing Cancer, challenging you to find healthy ways to handle your trickiest emotions and resist the urge to become overly defensive. Mars was recently in the emotional waters of Cancer from September 4 to November 3 before beginning its current retrograde cycle. So, take a look at what your passions and motivations were during that period to get a sense of what topics you may explore from a new angle during the rest of the retrograde.
Capricorn Energy Strong
The first few weeks of January make up most of Capricorn season, and the influence of this disciplined earth sign is perfect for helping you focus on your New Year’s resolutions and take seriously what you’d like to accomplish over time. Use Capricorn’s clever and methodical energy to plan your goals and establish a solid foundation to support your growth.
On January 8, communication planet Mercury joins the Sun in Capricorn, amplifying the hardworking and industrious vibration of the season and making it easier to think realistically and communicate better. This period in the middle of the month is a great time to make investments, talk business, or make grounded decisions that could bring long-term benefits.
The Lunar Nodes Shift
Get ready for some soul realignments, as on January 11, the North and South Lunar Nodes will shift signs for the first time since 2022, moving into Pisces and Virgo, respectively. The North Node symbolizes the highest life purpose of individuals and collective spiritual growth, and the South Node represents the limits of your comfort zone and the lessons you’ve already learned. These cosmic points haven’t been in Pisces and Virgo like this since 2007, so expect the start of some new and important journeys.
The Lunar Nodes are associated with the moon’s orbit, which is why they are also called the Lunar Nodes, and that’s why their shift through the zodiac also aligns with the new eclipse series that began in Pisces and Virgo. The Nodes will be activated by the luminaries during the eclipse seasons in March and September, and in these signs, expect to be pushed to release your need for control and embrace the mysteries of the unknown.
The First Full Moon of the Year on January 13
Capricorn season has everyone’s attention focused on money, career, and material gains. But as soon as the full moon rises in its home sign of Cancer on January 13, you’ll likely feel your focus shifting toward more emotional matters, including your home life and inner world. This watery lunation brings up feelings to the surface, allowing you to work on whatever weighs on your heart.
Treat yourself and others with care and kindness, but leave some space for a few fun surprises, as the Moon forms a sweet and favorable sextile aspect with unpredictable Uranus, giving the first major lunation of the year an electrifying, exciting, and unexpected twist.
Aquarius Vibes and a Refreshing New Moon
The Sun enters the non-traditional and community-oriented sign of Aquarius on January 19, marking the beginning of Aquarius season in 2025. This innovative energy of this fixed air sign can inspire you to take all the practical plans you’ve made during Capricorn season and give them a non-conventional and innovative twist. The mental planet Mercury joins the party on January 27, infusing communication and thought with a practical sense of objectivity that allows you to see situations and feelings from a fresh perspective.
Aquarius’ airy energy peaks on January 29 when the first new moon of the year will arise in this sign. This beautifully turbulent and exciting lunation will inspire you to wave your banner of eccentricity proudly and embrace your quirkiest and most wonderful qualities. It’s a great time to set intentions for forward-thinking and explore your individuality, as the moon will be in a favorable trine aspect with lucky Jupiter, bringing plenty of opportunities for growth, abundance, and confidence.
Goodbye, Uranus Retrograde
The refreshing air of Aquarius season is about to blow everyone in a new direction, as the innovative planet Uranus goes direct on January 30. Uranus retrograde began in September, and as the planet of surprises and sudden changes, its forward movement will inspire you to move forward on your path, even if you’ve been taken by surprise. What personal and collective revolutions have you felt forming over the past few months? Now it may be time to act on the avant-garde concepts you’ve been playing with. New year, new you!
