January Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Sagittarius Horoscope (November 22 - December 21)
Mutable Fire. Your ruling planet is Jupiter.

In the aftermath of a big December, the New Year is coming in with just the right mix for you of intensity and calm, Sagittarius. You are still in the midst of the whirlwind, just circling a little more gracefully these days. Career issues are very much an important part of your progress lately, as hard work pays off, and personal transformation is still at the forefront of your long list of accomplishments. Toward month's end, relationship and communicative outreach become more self-reflective. If you use the Mercury retrograde period wisely, you will regroup for the next push toward self-revelation that comes with the March timeframe.

As the month and the year begins, you are all about financial and other forms of security. A good reading on your security needs might confirm that it isn't strictly material or monetary concerns that drive you right now, although of course the validation of a healthy bank balance does quite a bit to ease your mind. In any event your ruler Jupiter resides in your resources sector at this time, and the New Moon of January 8th takes place there as well. Pluto will enter this sector on the 25th, accompanied by Venus, so it really is a very active time for you in this area of your resources, values and finances. At the New Moon you might want to take the time to tune in and attempt to see what financial considerations and the resources that you have at your disposal truly mean for you. There is likely to be some movement with these issues as the month unwinds. The First Quarter Moon taking place on the 15th will likely be a time of testing and consciousness of inherent limitations. This is traditionally a time when the rubber meets the road regarding initiatives from the beginning of the current cycle, and in this case implies that a certain degree of practical concern and real-world consideration must enter your equation. You are poised for success in worldly affairs these days, but also with a large dose of hard work implied, and the effort to achieve the recognition you seek will be fully up for you in this mid-month timeframe. The Full Moon of the following week, taking place on Tuesday, January 22nd, represents another point when you might feel the pull of cosmic forces that are hopefully nudging you in the direction that you needed to go in any case. There is increased communication within your circle as well as surprising development in and around your home base. You are firing on all cylinders right now and may want to take advantage of the moment. The ambition that fuels your level of achievement these days is stronger than ever, and better integrated with your basic nature. After the end of the month, when Mercury is retrograding in your communication sector, it will not be advisable to push forward with new ideas or even finalize agreements, although you can't stop the presses entirely of course. Just be patient during the five weeks of the retrograde period and enjoy the fruits of your labor. These last few days of January are a holy time period for you, good for meditating on where in the world you are currently heading.
