January Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Libra Horoscope (September 23 - October 22)
Cardinal Air. Your ruling planet is Venus.

Your time for contemplation is nearly over, Libra. This is the best moment to reconsider relationship questions and communication issues that have long plagued you. Familial connections within tribe and domicile are also up for review and revision. Surprises abound, together with revelations concerning specific partners in your life and your relationship patterns in general. You must strive for clarity. You are reevaluating all that has gone before in a new light and things that once seemed clear are now less so, while what was complex now appears unbelievably simple and readily discernable. Your ideals are running strong as you prepare to commit in a new way to everything that you hold dear. Your task this month is to discover just what that truly consists of.

As the month begins, you are feeling both adventurous – longing to explore new horizons – and also somewhat stuck in your existing rut. You might also feel yourself taking on a warrior stance as you face off to the world regarding these opposing tendencies, either pro or anti. Even more important than the urge to innovate, you are conceptualizing a new way forward for yourself at this time, one that involves you at a deeper level than before, a more active participant in your own life. The Solar Eclipse and New Moon of early Tuesday morning, January 4th, is a significant moment in the arc of your development. This is when the juxtaposition between the ideal and the merely real will seem most acute. You are readjusting your connections with family and tribe, and psychologically the basis of your emotional safety zone, all this first half of the month, completing a cycle that began in December. Along the route of this month's progress you will also have to contend with illusion in its many varied forms, masquerading as fantasy or even outright deception at times. It is also the key to idealism and spiritual empathy, since these more ethereal feelings are not at all at home in the earthly plane and seem strange to your physical senses. The First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, January 12th, brings a moment of tension into the mix. There could be disputes with important partners at this time, or conflicts between family and relationship obligations. Again the issue arises of whether to go forward or to remain in stasis, with solid arguments in favor of each perspective. Obviously both are important and circumstances will differ as to which is the best course of action. Epiphanies abound and virtually anything can happen. The next few days are also dicey. By the time of the Full Moon a week later, taking place on Wednesday, January 19th, you enter into a time of relative calm where balance and integration of your energy can once more prevail. You are poised on the brink of a new phase of self-expression, where you take your inner as well as your outer world more fully into account. The last ten days of the month represent a chance to shine in a new way, and with new and deeper sense of commitment, as a result of your mental meanderings during the first half.
