Welcome to January, Capricorn. During December, Mars went retrograde, which could lead to slowdowns at work. This is frustrating for all signs, but especially for Capricorns, who do tend to be rather ambitious. However, even when it's annoying, slowdowns do offer an opportunity. January is very much about your relationships. On Thursday, January 2, Vesta, the asteroid of sacred sexuality, enters intense Scorpio, which affects the part of your chart that rules friendships. Yes, it is true that some single Capricorns could end up developing a crush or even hooking up with their friends around this date. However, if this doesn't feel right, or if you're in a committed relationship already, know that sexual energy is often also synonymous with creative energy.
Also, in early January, on Friday, January 3, generous Venus moves into Pisces and your 3rd House of Communication. This is a highly artistic transit that can help you deal with Mars retrograde. People talk a lot about how ambitious Capricorns are, and that's often true. But you're also a highly creative sign. Lean into this to make it through Mars retrograde. You can't always hurry up contracts or clients, but you can take control of your schedule by pouring yourself into creative endeavors.
On Monday, January 6, Mars retrograde moves into Cancer and your 7th House of Partnership. Astrologers often warn that Mars retrograde can cause drops in libidos. This could very well not happen to you. However, if it does, know that this transit encourages you to deepen relationships through emotional intimacy. In addition to January being very creative, it's also quite romantic. When messenger Mercury moves into your sign on Wednesday, January 8, your words hold more power than usual. It's a time for reaching out to both friends and lovers. If you surprise your loved one with a kind note or a wake-up text, you'll likely receive an abundance of love in return and make someone's day.
An especially romantic night arrives on Monday, January 13. This brings a bright full moon in Cancer that illuminates your 7th House of Partnership. First off, know that full moons can be stress-inducing and anxious times. You'll want to make sure to get extra sleep on and around this date to avoid feeling burnt out, which, in turn, could lead to arguments with partners. However, despite Mars retrograde, sex drives could be high, making it a lovely night for a date.
On Sunday, January 19, the sun enters Aquarius, kicking off Aquarius season. For the next several weeks, the sun is in your opulent 2nd House. This very well could indicate that money is coming in, so it's okay to get excited. However, with our economy and Mars retrograde, it's even more likely that Aquarius season stresses the importance of taking ownership of your emotions.
On Monday, January 27, messenger Mercury moves out of your sign and into Aquarius, affecting your 2nd House of Possessions. When this happens, as the 2nd House rules emotions, in addition to money, it sees you having important conversations with partners. These could especially occur during the Aquarius new moon on Wednesday, January 29. This date also marks the Lunar New Year, starting the Year of the Snake.
January is all about realizing what you can't control and what you can.
Finally, on Thursday, January 30, Uranus, the rebel of the zodiac, ends its retrograde and goes direct in Taurus and your 5th House of Pleasure. This transit brings a wave of creativity your way, which, following earlier themes from this month, you should lean into. January is all about realizing what you can't control and what you can. And, what you can control is your ability to use your creativity to channel Mars retrograde frustration.
