This is really who you are.

Cancer - (June 21 - July 21) There is just a wee bit of tension woven into January, Cancer.

The Aquarius New Moon of January 22nd speaks volumes in your 3rd house of communication. Talking is important, Sag; think of yourself as a messenger. You may have an opportunity to earn extra income through writing or even some type of art work. It's all about the message; what you have to say, and how you say it.

Capricorn - (December 21 - January 19) You are in line for a fabulous year ahead, Capricorn. With the benefactor planet Jupiter moving through Taurus, you can set sail and head for the rainbow.

Mars in your relationship sector until August 24th opens the door to finding a perfect partner. You may reconnect with someone from your past when Mars turning retrograde on January 23rd.

The New Moon of January 22nd lifts the veil of your 12th house of repose and solitude. Use this month to fertilize the fertile garden of your innermost soul. The seeds you plant now will bear fruit by the fall.
