January Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Pisces Horoscope (February 19 - March 20)
Mutable Water. Your ruling planets are Neptune and Jupiter.

Opportunity knocks for you this month, Pisces, especially during the first ten days. Your times they are a'changin' for sure, and you right along with them. Be careful what you wish for; if you stay alert to your possibilities and heed the call, nothing is impossible. You are caught between extremes, sometimes leaping ahead of yourself with wild abandon, sometimes holding back. Partners offer wisdom that seems a lot like restriction but which might afford you necessary ballast to stay afloat and not capsize. The universe is supportive of major transformation for you so long as you properly honor the deepest part of yourself in the process. You are introspective in the second half of the month, biding your time and waiting for your pastures to change.

As the month begins, you are stretching for connection of many different kinds, from intimate to business-like, and from social group to practical mentoring. In this you are right in sync with this new age that is being born over these years leading up to 2012, when greater connection between all the disparate units of tribal humanity will become increasingly important. The days following the New Moon from the end of last month through the first ten days of January, including New Year's Eve, are special for you in that your desires are more exposed than usual to the light of your conscious understanding and have a greater chance of making the transition from ideal dreams to fruitful intentions. Your wishes are magical in this season, and will move mountains when you align yourself properly with Spirit into the equation. There is also the very strong possibility of moving past old barriers to self-acceptance that have been hidden from your conscious gaze up until just now. With the First Quarter Moon of Sunday, January 4th, you are going beyond imagination into the place where the rubber meets the road of concrete reality, testing your vision. You are contending simultaneously with the wild vision for the future and the staid impulse to batten down the hatches and just hold on to what you've got, with powerful relationship energy also as well as financial remuneration very much part of the picture. The Full Moon that transpires a week later, on Saturday, January 10th, in your self-expression sector will take you a ways further down your chosen path if you let it. With Mercury also retrograding in your sector of dream imagination, there are definitely some very internal feelings and self-reflective energies that will come up for you. You are in a weeks-long process of integrating inner and outer concerns and taking the best of both worlds as you do so. The Solar Eclipse of Sunday night and Monday morning, the 25th and 26th, will present a powerful impulse to take your meditations further, but on the inner not the outer dimension of reality. When Mercury turns direct at month's end and even more so when it crosses out of its retrograde shadow on February 21st you will have the chance to move forward with ideas that have been percolating around inside your psyche up until then.
