January Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

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

The turning of the year has been a trying one for you, Sagittarius, but rewarding in terms of self-knowledge and of getting your priorities straight. Security, both emotional and financial, has been on your mind lately, big time, and this trend continues and even intensifies in the course of this first month. Through this focus you are forced to decide on what is the ultimate meaning of money for you, as an unadulterated plus or as a shield from seeing where your true values really are. This is a thoughtful process. A shift by the last week of January will suggest viable alternatives as homey concerns take precedence over merely financial well-being.

As the month begins, you are exploring concepts of self and other. A transformation of values is underway, whereby you are redefining your attachment to partnership and finding more spacious ways of remaining in relationship with significant partners in your life without giving up either your freedom or your depth of connection. Mercury is currently retrograding through your security sector which means that you are likely re-thinking your position with regard to both financial and emotional security needs. You might have been feeling a little stuck in this area. The basis of your feelings of safety is both far simpler and also more varied that you were previously ready to give yourself credit for. Once the pattern shifts, it opens you up to allow a sense of wonder to come through. The Last Quarter Moon, taking place on Thursday, January 7th, is a time of taking stock over the previous three weeks of revelations leading up to this first full week of the New Year and of furthering your understanding of your current situation thereby. This is a key moment in an ongoing reassessment of your viewpoint on many things, future plans among them. A subtle shift in your thinking is possible throughout these early months of 2010, thinking that in time will lead you to concrete action as a natural consequence. For now, it is best to watch and wait. The New Moon and Solar Eclipse of late Thursday and early Friday, January 15th, is powerful for you and is a call to a new valuation of everything that you feel and do. There is mystical information flooding your awareness at this time, and indeed over the entire month, that can open doors within your perception where that is possible for you. Previously cherished structures in your life could yield that have become calcified and that no longer serve you in your present moment. If so, your task is to let them go, without judgment. It is also possible that a change that has been brewing within you for many months now is coming to a crux of meaning for you that will illuminate the way forward. It could be that the timing is not right for total surrender but that you can see something hinted at of the way that lies before you. There might also be necessary restrictions imposed at this time, either self-limitations or those from outside your obvious control, that must be heeded, in order for the transformation in which you are presently engaged to really take hold in a concrete way in your life. Significant partners also play a role in this for you right now, as well as an almost fated sense of mission. Everything signals the future that is unfolding for you and it might look quite different for you than you had previously supposed. The remainder of the month will consist of a working out on your part of what is incipient at this mid-month time, with one crucial moment taking place with the First Quarter Moon of Saturday, January 23rd, when your ruler Jupiter also enters your sector of home and family. You are stirred to your core over the course of this monthly cycle, and the end is only the beginning. It's a question of faith at this point, faith in yourself and in your connection to the higher purpose within yourself, and faith in the ultimate power of the universe to sustain you whatever might lie ahead.
