General Overview:
You and the other cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Capricorn) will feel the greatest changes and impacts this month. January begins at “full speed,” with no time to waste. With 11 new conjunctions occurring, it is a month of total acceleration. For Libra, the focus swings violently between the peak of your public career and the foundation of your private life.
- Full Moon in the 10th House (January 3rd)
The month begins with a spectacular Full Moon at the top of your chart, in the 10th House (Career and Visibility).
- You will have a brilliant Full Moon alongside Jupiter (in its brightest moment of the year) and the star Sirius.
- Jupiter and Sirius bring blessings and success. You may receive public recognition, reap the fruits of past efforts at work, or complete a professional chapter with honors.
- Authority figures (bosses, institutions, or a father figure) will be benevolent. It is the ideal time to ask for help or favors from someone in a position of power, as “the angels are aligned” through these people to help you.
- 4th House (From January 4th to 20th)
While your career shines, the true “construction action” happens at your base, in the 4th House (Home and Family), where 5 new conjunctions occur in Capricorn.
- The Sun-Mars conjunction (2-year cycle) initiates a period where you will need to apply significant willpower and “effort” to your domestic life.
- The idea or the actual start of building a house, performing major renovations, starting a gardening/farming project, or even relocating the family may arise. It is heavy, executive work within the home.
- The 4th House also rules your emotional reactions. With planets in Capricorn here, the challenge is to develop an emotional “backbone.” You must learn to remain calm and cool-headed even in the face of family drama.
- 5th House (Starting January 20th)
At the end of the month, the energy shifts from the weight of Capricorn into Aquarius, in your 5th House (Children, Creativity, and Romance), meeting Pluto.
- You may develop a new hobby or interest obsessively.
- New chapters in your children’s lives (perhaps they seek more independence) or a transformation in your romantic life. If single, an intense and transformative romance may emerge.
- The 5th House is the house of “good karma” and speculative investments. Original business or investment ideas may arise as an intuitive “download,” bringing potential for future wealth.
Summary for Libra: January is a month of dynamic balance. You receive applause on stage (Career/10th House) at the beginning of the month, but spend most of your time working hard behind the scenes to build or renovate your foundation (Home/4th House). The month ends with an explosion of creativity and intensity in romances and hobbies (5th House).
