General Overview:
The Most Important Month of the Year. Prepare yourself, Capricorn. This is undoubtedly the most crucial month of the entire year for you. The year starts with impressive speed, and about half of all new planetary beginnings in January happen in your sign. With 5 new conjunctions in Capricorn (including Sun with Mars, Sun with Venus, Mercury with Mars, and a New Moon), you are receiving a massive influx of energy. It is a moment of “total renewal” of your identity, vitality, and purpose.
- House 1 (First 20 days) Until the 20th, the focus is on you. The most powerful conjunction is the Sun with Mars (which happens every 2.5 years). The Sun is the King and Mars is the General; together in your sign, they give you a new mission.
- What you start now carries the seed of victory for the next two years.
- It is the ideal time to start a new exercise routine or resolve an old, persistent health issue. You will have a willpower and motivation that you normally don’t have—a “little push” from the universe.
- You may feel like changing your image, taking on a new role (as a warrior or entrepreneur), and stopping being someone who waits for life to happen. Anger or frustration with your “old self” can be the fuel for this change.
- Any inspiration or desire that arises now should be noted and initiated. You won’t see the final result in January, but you are planting the seeds for the next two years.
- Full Moon in Cancer: January 3rd While you focus on yourself, the Full Moon on the 3rd (active for the first two weeks) illuminates your 7th House (Relationships). This Full Moon is extremely auspicious, as it is conjunct Jupiter (the great benefic) and the star Sirius (the highest spiritual vibration).
- It is a fantastic time to close contracts, negotiate with clients, or take a relationship to the next level.
- People may enter your life (or external circumstances may occur) bringing rewards or clarity. Even if someone challenges you or “pushes your buttons,” know that this is divinely orchestrated to push you in the right direction of your new beginnings.
- Finances and Values: House 2 (Last 10 days) From the 20th onward, the planets begin to migrate to Aquarius (your 2nd House), meeting Pluto.
- Pluto brings a divine and intense will. You will be forced or motivated to transform your financial life and your values.
- The 2nd House rules what sustains you. With Pluto’s influence, you can start a radical change in your diet or the way you earn money, seeking financial independence.
- The changes initiated here bear Pluto’s mark: they are deep, transformative, and long-lasting (cycles of up to 18 years).
Summary for Capricorn: January is your month of reinvention. You have the “King” and the “General” in your sign giving you orders to win. It’s time to use this energy to change your body, your career, and your self-image, while receiving blessings in your relationships through the Full Moon.
