Taurus whole month horoscope

Monday, Jan 31, 2011

It is impossible for you to be content with superficial answers now, and you are impatient with people who avoid looking candidly and honestly at root causes and hidden reasons for any problem or situation. You tend to force your views on other people now. Also, you can become obsessed with an idea or problem until you have figured it out.

Tuesday, Feb 1, 2011

You're more moody, oversensitive, or touchy than usual, and your irritability is apt to provoke discord in your immediate environment. Relations with parents, children, or other close associates are tense.

Wednesday, Feb 2, 2011

You are compassionate, sympathetic, and highly emotional now. Also, your imagination is activated and you may be inspired by some unusual daydream or fleeting thought.

Thursday, Feb 3, 2011

Right now you are more magnetic and sexually attractive, and your love life is likely to be both harmonious and satisfying. You experience a positive flow of warmth and friendliness between yourself and others, and you are stimulated and energized by your casual interactions with others of the opposite sex. Creative and artistic efforts also flourish at this time.

Friday, Feb 4, 2011

Discipline, concentration, and determination are the key issues now. You are likely to adopt a rather austere and intense routine during this time period. You stubbornly pursue your interests, and you are willing to work long hours without complaint. This is an excellent time for any form of training or laborious and painstaking work. If you are normally rather lax or scattered in your approach to life, this is a time when you can get your life into better focus and work with much better concentration and discipline. If you are normally disciplined and focused in your work, you are likely to work with extreme dedication and almost compulsive tenacity.

Saturday, Feb 5, 2011

You are headstrong and rash at this time. Wild and daring physical activities, or just plain recklessness and impatience, can put you into dangerous situations. Your drive for freedom, independence, and absolute authority over your own life is quite strong. You tend to be very abrupt and inconsiderate of others. It's best for you not to try to cooperate or slow down your pace to suit other people too much. You need to follow your own rhythm. You are likely to actually act on some of the more unusual or "crazy" impulses you feel from time to time: you crave excitement.

Sunday, Feb 6, 2011

Your thoughts are dreamy, fantastic, and faraway right now. Your imagination and intuition is heightened, which benefits any creative or artistic work you may do. However, your practical reasoning ability and your ability to focus on the here and now are diminished. Your judgment regarding concrete matters is a bit fuzzy at this time, so you may wish to delay making important decisions.

Monday, Feb 7, 2011

Romance and flirtations are likely now. You are feeling warm, expressive, and lively. Loving feelings flow between you and the people you meet, especially those of the opposite sex. Friendships are also strengthened at this time. Also, your creativity and desire to make something beautiful is stimulated now.

Tuesday, Feb 8, 2011

Your thinking is rather gloomy and pessimistic at this time. You see the superficiality, the flaws, and the foolishness or impracticality in others' plans. Also, communicating with others is difficult now, and people resist what you are saying. You feel more inhibited and uncommunicative, and you sense that others are not receptive. Frustrating conversations and the feeling that you are coming across negatively are possible now, so you are inclined simply to keep your thoughts to yourself.

Wednesday, Feb 9, 2011

This is an excellent time to make decisions about your financial affairs, as your judgment is sound and reliable, though a bit conservative. Investing in beautiful things which are likely to increase in value over time (such as jewelry or fine art) is favored. You are not interested in fleeting excitement or frivolity now. Spending "quality time" with an old and trusted friend or enjoying the company of an experienced, mature person who has much of substance to give you will make you happy.

Thursday, Feb 10, 2011

You are fascinated by the mysterious now. Unsolved or puzzling problems and the hidden or behind the scenes aspects of a situation interest you most, and you delve and probe until you discover the truth. An interest in psychology or other peoples' secrets comes to the fore. You enjoy spy, mystery, and supernatural stories.

Friday, Feb 11, 2011

Your thoughts turn to love and this is a favorable time to bring out any concerns you have in your personal relationships. Agreements and cooperation can be achieved easily now. You readily discuss your personal needs and desires. Also, you are more aware of beauty and may want to rearrange your decor or buy something to beautify your surroundings.

Saturday, Feb 12, 2011

A fast pace, with many letters, phone calls, errands, meetings, or discussions, is on the agenda. You may feel mentally restless, impatient, and overly eager to get your own ideas across. Also, a situation may arise which requires you to say what is on your mind, to make a decision, or to clearly voice your personal opinion on some issue.

Sunday, Feb 13, 2011

You are able to share ideals and spiritual concerns with others in a very satisfying way at this time. If there is someone that you feel does not understand "where you are coming from", you may find that you are now able to effectively communicate whatever lofty, idealistic, or abstract ideas that are important to you. In doing this, you also become clearer about your own ideals and better understand those of others as well.

Monday, Feb 14, 2011

Your mental processes are speeded up now. You grasp new concepts very easily, but you tend to be impatient with slower minds or the usual, predictable routine. Nervous restlessness, impulsive or erratic behavior or speech, rushing, or coming to a conclusion too quickly are likely at this time.

Tuesday , Feb 15, 2011

You are apt to feel overextended, coping with an increase in the family, company in your home, or even an abundance of pleasant opportunities which you are unable to resist. If your life is too quiet or predictable you will be restless, craving some fun or expansion. You also spend money freely, even extravagantly, at this time and you may later regret splurging. Or you may not choose to spend for pleasure but you find your expenses for children or for home improvement will exceed your expectations.

Wednesday , Feb 16, 2011

Typical things that may happen now are receiving a letter that notifies you that you were not accepted for a new job that you were extremely hopeful of getting or having an application for entrance to a college rejected. These rejections come about simply because your qualifications are not high enough. It may be true that others with similar qualifications are sometimes accepted, but at this time you will achieve only that for which you are solidly prepared. You may also encounter increased family responsibilities or financial obligations that make it impossible for you to follow the dreams you have been harboring.

Thursday, Feb 17, 2011

Differences in styles, personal tastes, aesthetic appreciation, or values is an issue in your life at this time. You may feel unloved or not valued due to differences in the way you and a significant other express affection. In social situations, you may well feel out of place, awkward, and ill at ease; perhaps you run into an old lover or are in a social setting which is distinctly different from the one you are familiar with. You are apt to be conciliatory and gracious about making adjustments and concessions, but you feel rather uncomfortable internally.

Friday, Feb 18, 2011

This is a time when it is difficult to stay within a budget or on a diet, as your tendency is to splurge on beautiful things and to enjoy yourself as much as possible. You want comfort and ease and have luxurious tastes. Quality is especially important to you right now. Also, you want to share whatever good fortune you have. You need company and happy fellowship. It's a good time for a party, as long as you don't overdo it.

Saturday, Feb 19, 2011

Right now you feel a need for sweetness - perhaps in the form of emotional and physical affection, or even of food. You are apt to be pleasantly self-indulgent.

Sunday, Feb 20, 2011

You are optimistic and possibly extravagant now. You are less cautious than usual, feeling that nothing can possibly go wrong. If you are inclined to overindulge, overspend, or go to excesses in any manner, this tendency is exaggerated at this time.

Monday, Feb 21, 2011

The craving for sweetness and comfort in the form of loving affection or food is strong now. This is a good time to baby yourself and also to spend time with the people who love and appreciate you the most. Also, you are feeling rather tender and softhearted and may do something "maternal" on impulse (such as take home a stray kitten, offer to babysit, buy a gift for your family, etc.).

Tuesday, Feb 22, 2011

You have an abundance of physical energy and self-confidence right now and can take on new projects and challenges with ease. You feel bolder and less dependent on others' affirmation and approval.

Taking a strong stand or striking out on your own in some manner is likely to work out well for you.

Wednesday , Feb 23, 2011

Your feelings, emotional needs, and desires for closeness and a sense of belonging come to the fore now. You give your home, personal relationships, and inner life more attention. Problems you may have been avoiding in these areas are brought into focus.

Thursday, Feb 24, 2011

At this time you have important discussions with women and with people you are (or once were) very close to. You may wish to visit, write, or make a telephone call to someone from your past. Connecting with your roots is the theme now, with an emphasis on seeing the past objectively. Memories and old feelings surface very clearly now.

Friday, Feb 25, 2011

Your mind is serious and you are able to concentrate on work that requires patience, attention to detail, and precision. Practical concerns dominate. It is a good time to learn practical skills, do your taxes, organize your files, and take care of business. You'll want to avoid light social conversation or trivialities that distract you from your work.

Saturday, Feb 26, 2011

Conversations with your partners and friends are critical now. This is a time for you to really listen and learn from others. If there is some matter you are concerned with, now is an excellent time to consult a professional or even a good friend that can give helpful feedback. You need other people's ideas and opinions now.

Sunday, Feb 27, 2011

It is impossible for you to be content with superficial answers now, and you are impatient with people who avoid looking candidly and honestly at root causes and hidden reasons for any problem or situation. You tend to force your views on other people now. Also, you can become obsessed with an idea or problem until you have figured it out.

Monday, Feb 28, 2011

The misuse of personal power, dominating or manipulating others, and the subtle ways you try to control situations or other people are issues. The tyrant in you comes out, or you find yourself dealing with the more difficult, dark, tyrannical side in other people. Also, this can be a time when you are forced to confront and deal with something which is no longer working - from old, outworn possessions to an unhealthy relationship or a deeply ingrained, self-defeating attitude.

Aquarius whole month

Monday, Jan 31, 2011
Poor physical coordination or faulty timing can create minor accidents. You are inclined to take risks that overextend your energy reserves and to have bursts of activity followed by weakness or exhaustion. If you pace yourself, being careful not to bite off more than you can chew, the results of anything you undertake will be better.

Tuesday , Feb 1, 2011

You are headstrong and rash at this time. Wild and daring physical activities, or just plain recklessness and impatience, can put you into dangerous situations. Your drive for freedom, independence, and absolute authority over your own life is quite strong. You tend to be very abrupt and inconsiderate of others. It's best for you not to try to cooperate or slow down your pace to suit other people too much. You need to follow your own rhythm.

Connecting with your roots is the theme now, with an emphasis on seeing the past objectively. Memories and old feelings surface very clearly now.

Friday , Feb 4, 2011

You may not feel very social, but friends or social commitments pull you away from home. Alternately, you may want to go out and enjoy some time with your friends or do some light socializing, but you are needed more at home right now. There is an uneasy balance between your loyalty to your family versus your friends or other pleasurable interests. It is an either/or situation and probably something has to be sacrificed temporarily.

Saturday , Feb 5, 2011

Your thoughts are dreamy, fantastic, and faraway right now. Your imagination and intuition is heightened, which benefits any creative or artistic work you may do. However, your practical reasoning ability and your ability to focus on the here and now are diminished.

Tuesday , Feb 8, 2011

You are alert, mentally sharp and clear, and your ability to comprehend new concepts is heightened. Also, you can verbalize and articulate your ideas very well at this time. Intellectual curiosity is also high. This is a good time to make plans and strategies or begin a course of study.

Wednesday , Feb 9, 2011

You're feeling quiet, somber, realistic, and contained. If a dark mood comes over you, know that it is temporary. You tend to see things more pessimistically than usual right now.

Thursday , Feb 10, 2011

You make yourself perfectly clear at this time, coming across in a very direct, articulate manner. Your honesty and willingness to communicate openly impresses others. This is a good time to give a speech, present your ideas publicly, or simply express your viewpoint to the people who matter the most in your life. If you are in a profession dealing with words, ideas, or communications, this is a very positive and fruitful time for you.

Friday , Feb 11, 2011

Your mental processes are speeded up now. You grasp new concepts very easily, but you tend to be impatient with slower minds or the usual, predictable routine. Nervous restlessness, impulsive or erratic behavior or speech, rushing, or coming to a conclusion too quickly are likely at this time.

Saturday , Feb 12, 2011

Your feelings for friends and your emotional responses to life in general are deeper and more intense. The need to share, to give and receive love, and to be accepted and wanted is very strong. You have an opportunity now to see what keeps you from being really close to others - perhaps a forgotten hurt or hidden resentment - and to rid yourself of it by bringing it out in the open or simply releasing it.

Sunday, Feb 13, 2011

Opportunities for friendship, cooperation, love, and shared happiness arise. The warmth and good will you generate now is likely to be a benefit to you both now and later on. You feel especially friendly and sociable.

Monday , Feb 14, 2011

You are in harmony with the people in your immediate environment. There is a sense of ease and of flowing with, rather than fighting against or resisting, what is going on around you. Therefore, you have more energy and more fun at this time.

Tuesday , Feb 15, 2011

This is a time for getting a little loose and wild with friends, going dancing, or doing something out of the ordinary that is stimulating and fun. You meet interesting new people and are more open to people who are quite different from yourself. An opportunity for a romance may arise which is likely to be exciting, though short-lived.

Wednesday , Feb 16, 2011

At this time it is easy for you to express yourself boldly and confidently. You seem to care less about outside approval and this frees you to act on your own behalf or to do something you have not had the courage to attempt before. Your health and vitality are quite good, and you need physical outlets for your energies now.

Thursday, Feb 17, 2011

Positive feelings and high self-confidence make this a good time to go out, meet with people, or get some recognition and support for creative projects. Women in particular are especially helpful to you now.

Friday , Feb 18, 2011

You are likely to feel vexed, vaguely dissatisfied, or out of touch with yourself, as if you don't know what you want but are fairly certain you don't have it. Unusual food cravings, desires and moods which are distracting or at least tangential to what you would prefer to be focused upon, and/or a strong pull toward your past which interferes with your present, all are quite likely now. You have to strike a balance between your emotional needs and yearnings and your daily life.

Saturday , Feb 19, 2011

Communications are excellent now. You come across clearly and present yourself articulately. Public speaking, interviews, and other transactions with the public are favored. Conversations you have at this time go smoothly, and an agreement can be reached.

Sunday , Feb 20, 2011

Self-discipline, training, persevering through a dry or slow period, and working quietly or in meager circumstances are themes in this time period. You have the ability and stamina to concentrate, to work carefully and thoroughly, and to accomplish something modest, yet of real practical value and substance now.

Monday , Feb 21, 2011

Love, relationships, beauty, and pleasure are emphasized now. You feel especially attractive or friendly, and the warmth you radiate is noticed and appreciated. A new romance or friendship may ensue. Artistic efforts are also fruitful.

Tuesday, Feb 22, 2011

This is a good time to assert your own needs and desires, to communicate to others what you really want. You are sharp, clear, decisive, and articulate. You can't stand being idle now; you are ready for challenging, intellectual activities and attacking difficult problems on the job.

Wednesday, Feb 23, 2011

Thoughts of love and an appreciation of the beauty in your life comes to the fore. This is a favorable time to communicate your feelings to the ones you care about: write a love poem or send a love letter! Also your aesthetic sense is strong now; you may want to make changes in your environment to make it more harmonious and pleasurable for you.

Thursday , Feb 24, 2011

At this time you are objective and can make some clear decisions about where you are headed or what the next step to achieve your important personal goals should be. Your judgment is sound at this time. You may have an important professional conference or a conversation about your career. This is an excellent time to seek out your superiors or those in a position to help you advance.

Friday , Feb 25, 2011

Self-confidence, physical energy, and courage run high, so this is a fine time to undertake any project or challenge that confronts you, especially if it involves competition or asserting yourself vigorously. You are inclined to take charge or assume a leadership role at this time.

Saturday , Feb 26, 2011

Strong sexual feelings and romantic passions are stimulated now, and the urge to be with your love partner is compelling. If you are not currently in a relationship, you are likely to be bold and to make the first move toward someone you are attracted to. Artistic and creative expression is also favored now.

Sunday , Feb 27, 2011

It is impossible for you to be content with superficial answers now, and you are impatient with people who avoid looking candidly and honestly at root causes and hidden reasons for any problem or situation. You tend to force your views on other people now. Also, you can become obsessed with an idea or problem until you have figured it out.

Monday , Feb 28, 2011

Your desire for leadership, personal recognition for your efforts, and absolute control over your own affairs is very strong now. You are very competitive in business affairs and you aggressively present your concerns and interests to colleagues and superiors. Anger over an inability to be first or to be on top is quite possible, but you won't take it lying down. You are ready to fight if necessary in order to forge ahead!

January Horoscope for Pisces:

The month starts with Mercury retrograde in serious-minded Capricorn. This reins your focus into the tasks at hand, and can trip you up with snares, delays and miscommunications. In earthbound Capricorn, the issues are significant and have to do with constructive use of your time and resources. It's the continuation of your dance with Saturn (real world) and its pressures.

But distortions of Mercury retrograde can bring surprises, like solutions that you wouldn't have seen otherwise. You may see ways you sabotage your success in small or big ways. The biggest "ah-has" will likely come after the 15th, when Mercury goes direct. There can be an untangling at that time that offers new solutions to the ongoing issues of how to make a living using your particular Piscean gifts.

New Moon in Capricorn, Jan 15th

This is a fresh start that can strengthen your resolve to take control over your life. There's an unsettled vibe at this time, as it's a solar eclipse, and may bring sudden events.

But with Venus also in purposeful Capricorn, it's a good time for commitment to your convictions. You can go deep into the void of this dark Moon and renew your promise to hold high standards. It can put deep roots into your ambitions.

Jupiter's Blessing The lucky planet goes into your sign on the 17th, bringing aid in the form of helpful allies and surprise opportunities. This eases your journey, and can give you a growing sense of faith. The past few years have been full of chaotic changes, both external and internal. For much of 2010, Jupiter drops goodies your way to keep your spirits high, even though the road may be steep.

This can especially jettison forward your creative projects. If they've been stalled, you can see movement after mid-January. Collaboration is favored, and can help you go further than you would alone.

Leo Full Moon, January 30

Delight, play, and the wearing of many masks -- anything to do with self-expression gets a boost under this lunar peak. If you made a commitment to what you're devoted to at the New Moon, there can be an illumination that has you taking action to express it.

The month ends with the first of many squares between major planets. The Saturn-Pluto square (Jan 31st) brings strong tension that seems to dig into the soul. It's happening within each of us, but also in the tangible world. You may find ways to bring these themes into your life's work, and be a healing force as we all experience the pressure to evolve. On a personal level, this can continue the clearing of mind, body and spirit, and letting go of what's no longer vital in your life.

January Horoscope for Aquarius:

The year begins with a Mercury retrograde in Saturn-ruled Capricorn through the 15th. Saturn is one of your rulers (along with Uranus), and the one that affirms your love of order. Your paradoxical nature can become fixed in matrices of thought, only to bust out of them suddenly under the influence of Uranus. This retrograde gets you thinking about practical realities, and the tangible steps to manifesting your goals.

You may be dealing with outstanding financial obligations, or be caught in a snare from the past. You may, for example, be coming to terms with a mortgage or other major contract that is sucking you dry. It's a time to review your obligations, and see them from new angles. Watch who crosses your path now, since they may have fateful solutions to any quagmires.

New Moon in Capricorn

You can commune with heavy Saturnian realities in the dark of the Moon on the 15th. Mercury goes direct that day, but don't expect answers to be flung from the void. These are long term, foundational concerns that are on their own time table. You can revisit your convictions and consider what your authentic goals are now.

This is not necessarily an unhappy time, but perhaps a serious one. Venus is aligned with the luminaries to add well being, and bring substantial connections your way. The ties your making now are based on shared purpose and values.

Good Vibrations

There's a noticeable elevation in mood with planets shift signs soon after the New Moon. Jupiter goes into Pisces on the 18th, enhancing your ability to tune into others at the heart level. Your creative ideas take on a mystical bent.

You get to dance with the love planet Venus when she lifts off in Aquarius on the 19th. This brings much-needed levity and encounters with those that feel like kindred spirits. You can go further with the right collaborators now. Happy Birthday! It's your solar return when the Sun goes into Aquarius on the 20th. It's a time to reflect on the last year, and take notes on what you'd like to see happen in 2010.

Be gentle with yourself, since you are being pulled in two directions. It's the same tug of war going on in society, and astrologically it involves your two rulers Saturn and Uranus. A major theme that continues from 2009, is the extremes of responsibility and freedom, barriers and breakthroughs. Just when you think you've put things in order, the bottom falls out. That continues to take you ever deeper into your psychic depths, and eventually will have you living with greater authenticity.

Pressure to Transform

The month ends with another Pluto-Saturn square, which asks you to let go of what's dead in your life. That also includes paradigms. It's a process of stripping that continues into 2010. You often have the gift of emotional detachment, but your sign can doggedly resist changing your mind once it's set. This aspect is an invitation to not know who you are, and the ways you might change.

This highlights another key theme for 2010, which is soul-level metamorphosis. External events may happen that force you to let go of the familiar, and to "die" to who you've been. What's happening to you, is also happening in the collective. You can be a guide for others -- as a teacher, artist, friend -- with insights that help people deal with the paradoxical energies of 2010.

January Horoscope for Capricorn:

This month begins with Mercury retrograde in your sign Capricorn through the 15th. Since it's in your sign, you're likely to see it playing out dramatically. While Mercury Rx can be exasperating, causing mix ups, it is also known to be very revealing. You may experience lots of serendipity, since this cycle brings fated events. The themes up for review now are personal authority, financial stability, wealth-creation and status.

The first two weeks can bring meaningful clues to what needs a second look. It's not easy, since it involves what you're enmeshed in at the roots. There's room for deep psychological healing of core issues, on your own, or with a trusted guide.

Holding Back

Mars is also in retrograde, in the ambitious sign of Leo. This adds to a sense of idling in place, but with great pent up energies. Look for ways to relieve yourself of what you're holding, perhaps by setting new physical challenges for yourself. You may also benefit from vigorous exercise that's also competitive in a healthy way.

Use the inward turning energies of these two planets (Mars and Mercury) in retrograde to consider your public presentation. It's a great time to pull back from the spotlight, in anticipation of an unveiling in the Spring. You are tending to your base -- down to the psychic core -- and may instinctively need a lot of time alone.

New Moon in Capricorn (January 15th)

This can be a potent time to commune with spirit. Being in nature is soothing, and can help you find balance. It's a solar eclipse with an unsettled vibe, so there may be unexpected events that take you by surprise. You may finally feel some of what's logged deep within you begin to surface. This is an important part of the Pluto transit (through your sign), that's a house clearing of body, mind and soul.

The luminaries (Sun and Moon) are in league with Venus (beauty, love, joy) at this important turning point. You may be able to share the strength of your convictions in a way that shows your love of life. Important relationships can begin at this time. You may also realize that you're ready for different kinds of relationships -- ones that fulfill your deepest desires.

Higher Altitudes

Jupiter goes into Pisces on the 18th, bringing solutions to your lingering questions. The surprise is that they come through unusual channels like dreams, flashes, synchronicity and the felt union with others. It's a great time to roam the imagination by listening or creating music, art, design, collage, film. You can escape the mundane, and find that it helps you cope with what's out of your control.

At mid-month, planets change signs, with the Sun (the 20th) and Venus (the 19th) going into Aquarius. You're apt to feel more like socializing, with people that don't make a lot of emotional demands on you. This is about the exchange of concepts, future visions, innovative business plans and the like. It allows for fresh air to move through. It's timely to join the networks, alliances, clubs and associations that you see as helping you reach your goals.

Grand Passions

The Full Moon in Leo on the 30th can intensify your feelings about a person (perhaps an old flame). But it could also illuminate a longstanding desire that has been eclipsed by more pressing responsibilities.

This makes you aware of the need to express your uniqueness, and to celebrate life. It draws your eye to color, joy, romance, play, comedies, exciting risks and children. There may be a message about what the longings of the heart.

Into the Crucible

The last day of January brings pressure, with a Saturn-Pluto square. This is significant for everyone, but with Pluto in your sign, you're apt to feel it more intensely. You're going through your own personal collapse, that's also reflected in our society these days. It may feel like a dark night of the soul. But try to keep in mind that Pluto and Saturn are helping to rid you of the outer layers, so you can discover your radiant core.

This particular aspect may tighten the screws, with some kind of loss which you initiate, or which is beyond your control. These are dramatic times for you Capricorn. You're slated to go through the most thorough of transformations, and that means letting go of the familiar. You may feel uncertain and lost. It's a time to be good to yourself with healthy habits that keep you as strong as you can be to weather the storm.

January Horoscope for Sagittarius:

You nature is to be moving at a fast clip, but there's a lot of retrograde energy that slows you down in January. Slowing down, though, doesn't have to be a bad thing. It can alert you to possibilities that are close at hand, rather than just glints on the horizon.

Fireball Mars in Leo is turning in place, in retrograde through March 10th. This could stop some of your grander plans, or at least have you in preparation mode a bit longer. Old passions -- an old love or a pursuit -- return and dangle in your imagination. They may weave themselves into your art and current relationships, as inspirations of what truly lights up your heart.

Getting Tripped Up

Mercury is also retrograde in January, to the 15th, in the practical realist sign of Capricorn. This drops in the heavy theme of money and its currents, with snafus causing delays or frustrations in finances. Some mixed signals have the potential to be very troublesome, since you're dealing with the bigger economic realities.

However, reviewing your relationship to money can help you dig out new income streams. Some ideas may emerge from your particular family heritage, or from a direct relationship to the Earth (green technologies, gardening). This mental vacation sends you spiraling into an intimate dialogue about sustenance. What sustains you? Be patient with all the unknowns, since the answers are not likely to come quickly.

Sources and Re-Sources

There's a meaningful turning point at the New Moon in Capricorn, as Mercury goes direct. You gain much when you surrender your frustrations to spirit in the dark of the Moon. If there are impasses that seem deeply rooted, give them over to the divine. If money issues have you weary and discouraged, take this time to rest in the dark.

If there are quagmires with seemingly no way out, you'll soon see that nothing is set in stone.

Lift Off

When Jupiter goes into Pisces (on the 18th), there's a greater emphases on thinking with the heart. This can renew your faith and draw you toward the mystical through all kinds of journeying. The imagination is infused with dreamy images, and it's easier to see beyond the outer facade of people and situations. It's the energy of dissolving and playing with personas, and can remind you that anything in life can be shapeshifted, including yourself.

There's more relief from heavy duty concerns when Venus (the 19th) and the Sun (the 20th) go into electrifying Aquarius. Some private struggles are relieved when melded with the energies of the collective. It's a great time to create community, and pool your resources. You spark off others, and find kindred spirits that help you revive sagging dreams.

Explosive Energies

A key theme all year is combustible tensions, and that reaches a peak at the end of the month. A Full Moon in Leo on the 30th has your heart bursting with creative and romantic longings. Your passions may surprise you, but take care that impulsive acts don't have you taking dangerous risks. Leo is about love affairs, children and self-expression. You may realize what you'd like to create that's got your personal stamp on it.

The tensions build to a breaking point with the first of two Pluto-Saturn squares in 2010, falling on January 31st. There's no room to take leaps of faith, if you're off balance in some way. You can find deep healing by letting go of all the dead weight in your life. It's all part of discovering a different center of gravity in 2010, one that allows for greater expansion in every direction.

January Horoscope for Scorpio:

Though there's hoopla at the start of a new year, January doesn't go off with a bang. With Mercury in retrograde in deep structure Capricorn, it may feel like a swampy quagmire. The retrograde continues through the 15th, and may test your patience as signals get crossed, and there are delays. Since it's in Capricorn, there may be misunderstandings over issues of grave importance.

Give yourself more time to get places, especially to meetings that involve your livelihood. There may be run-ins with authority, which is a theme throughout 2010. Be careful not to rankle authoritarians, who may already be at their breaking point. It's a great time to incubate ideas, and ponder just how they'd come to pass.

Digging Deep

Mercury comes out of retrograde on the 15th, but answers to the biggest questions will linger into the coming months. Some smaller issues, though can start to be unraveled, and this reveals new ways to manifest your plans. The dark of the Moon is a time of soul mining.

You can commune with spirit and receive answers, especially related to making a living, and developing a more direct relationship to the Earth. It may bring more clarity on your true mission, at this critical juncture for all of humanity. It could involve your instinct for soul-level transformation.

Jupiter in Pisces

This is a sweet gift for you, Scorpio, as lucky Jupiter graces another water sign, Pisces on the 18th. It's the kind of cosmic trine that could make your eyes water. You have greater access to your tender side, which can soften any rough edges in relationships.

It's auspicious for creative work, since it turns your imagination into a private playground. The visual arts, and symbolic language are favored. The richness of being in contact with such depth and breadth spills into all areas of your life.

Experimentation

You get some emotional distance when Venus goes into above-the-matrix Aquarius. It's a great time to enjoy less intense, but stimulating social activities. It's a relief to be part of a clique, rather than isolated, so look for those that spark you.

This is heightened when the Sun moves into electric Aquarius, and being innovative and odd is fully the norm. What seemed bogged down before finds resolution, from this elevated perspective. You may meet unusual people that intrigue you, and activate your joy of discovering what makes people tick.

Big Bangs

There's a Full Moon in Leo on the 30th, and watch out because it's conjunct the firebrand Mars! If you haven't dealt with your control issues in a situation, it could blow up at this time. There may be fisticuffs over whose in charge.

But this can also provoke you into greater heights of self-expression. You may bring what's shadowy in the psyche out as part of your art. Or there could be a magnificent heart healing between you and your love. New relationships that form now could be passionate, and a little bit dangerous, so use your best judgment.

Turn of the Screw

All month, you can continue to toss off excess baggage. You may have to be ruthless in letting go. Frustrations come to a head on January 31st, when Saturn (limits) in Libra (balance) comes into a taut square to Pluto (destruction & rebirth) in Capricorn. You may lose your equilibrium and feel unable to make a correction at this time. But keep in mind, that even as you're feeing it, so too is everyone around you.

Use your practical no-nonsense nature to see what's really going on. You may determine that it's best to hold off on major decisions until there's more stability. Much may be beyond your control, and have to do with the economic realities around you. There's a lot of acceptance this year, of a process that's got it's own timeline. But don't be blind to surprises that come out of the blue, and hasten the pace of change.

January Horoscope for Libra:

That last Full Moon/lunar eclipse of 2009 made it clear that you're entering a time of great personal change. Sudden events are revealing that you're in a long term process of re-creating your life. Deep emotional needs seem at odds with demands placed on you by your career, financial obligations, those in authority (government). As things shift with the economy and those around you struggle to find balance, your own equilibrium is knocked off its moorings. This is the start of a long journey that lasts all year.

Take time now to fix in place some solid habits that allow for catharsis. Mars is retrograde all month, so look to exercise as a way to keep the energy from getting stuck. Play and pleasure also remind you that life is good. It's also a month to add colorful flourishes to your home, your designs and your wardrobe. Break up the seriousness with acts of generosity that appeal to the child in yourself and those you love.

Purposeful Connections

Your ruler Venus is in career-minded Capricorn through the 18th. This heightens an already hot theme for 2010 of seeking substance in relationships. It's harder to just hang out now. You'll be seeking encounters that go below the surface, and feel connected to a shared sense of purpose.

As Venus moves into Aquarius (the 18th), the social vibe turns toward vast networks of people. You may look to join associations that reflect your emerging search for something solid to explore. You're drawn to the weird and cool, and find genius ideas out on the fringes. It's a key time to come together with minds that you can speedily spark off, and careen off together into new intellectual territory.

Mental Heavy Lifting

Mercury's retrograde in Capricorn gives the first two weeks of January a contemplative feel. And you may find yourself musing on bigger issues of your legacy, and how to build or hold on to wealth. There may be some reflection on your heritage, and what aspects of it will survive into this bold new era. It's traditionally not a good time to sign contracts, and with so much up in the air, you're apt to shy away from commitment anyway.

There may be many loose ends. Things that seemed resolved may be revealed as unstable. You may have to make peace with uncertainty now, as so much is in flux.

Losses and Gains

As the month rounds to an end, there's a bright creativity-enhancing Full Moon in Leo on the 29th. This buoys the spirits of your inner artist, and may send you into the design parlor, craft table or studio.

The month goes out with a Saturn-Pluto square on the 31st. The pressure to change is strong, and yet, you may sense there's more breakdown before it's time to build. This can be an especially frustrating time, so be good to yourself. You may be forced to let go of a person, job or ideal. There may be a loss of a sense of control, as events happen that are connected to the larger societal upheaval. It's a time to have faith, and look for inspiration in literature, music, art, on times like these when there's so much loss. It's a year of transformation that begins on note of looking back. As you let go and surrender to the changes, this creates more space within which to build anew.

January Horoscope for Virgo:

Your ruler Mercury starts January in retrograde, and in the very adult sign of Capricorn. This has you going over your personal affairs, trying to get your financial house in order. It's a good time to resolve the matter of wealth, how to create it and how to safeguard it. It may not necessarily be paper money, either. This pulls your focus into the concept of abundance and realistic security. It could get you thinking about taking matters into your own hands, like growing your own food, for example.

It's also timely for getting credentialed, or considering how to raise your status in your field. If externals aren't part of it, you might seek mastery of your skills, so that you yourself know you're an authority. A theme for January is integrating what Saturn has brought. And part of that is making sure your public face reflects this hard won depth of character.

Saturn's Straight and Narrow

In January, Saturn goes retrograde on the 13th, and this is another chance to tie up loose ends. This time, it's in the area of relationships. You may have to let go of relationships that don't serve a purpose. That may sound harsh, but Saturn is moving toward its next exact square to Pluto on Jan 31st. This provokes us to let go of what's no longer vital in our lives.

This is a great chance to nullify outdated contracts with others. This may involve obligations that only tie up your energy, and are causing stagnation for everyone. This is a time to look for balanced, win-win situations. You are becoming aware of your deeper needs in relationships. It may lead to extreme changes, which continues into 2010, but that free you up to transform at a quicker rate of speed.

Mid-Month New Moon

The New Moon is in Capricorn (the 15th), a friendly earth sign that brings on a sense of integration. It's a restful, hibernating kind of Moon. But in the dark, there may be first hints of a coalescing happening around your ambitions. Tune into the Earth itself for guidance, and be receptive to the divine guidance coming through.

Go ahead and rest, and be patient since the answers may not come right away. Mercury goes direct that day too, but won't hit the new degrees until early February (the 5th). You may sense a deep shift, but the clarity about it may take its sweet time to come to the surface. What's evoked now can be substantial and long term, and can't be rushed.

Jupiter in Pisces

What's made you restless and edgy, now turns into the highest source of inspiration. Your faith can be renewed, when Jupiter goes into spiritual Pisces (the 18th). You may have more mystical experiences, especially when in natural environments.

This can strengthen your sense of devotion to your life's work. And it brings a sweet dreaminess to relationships. Your art gets tinged with the sublime and the celestial.

January Horoscope for Leo:

Mars is in Leo, amping up your drive and physical energies. But it's in retrograde all month (and through to March 15th). This makes it hard to feel like you're advancing. You may find it difficult even to express anything new. Mars is the motivator, but with so much in limbo, it's not clear where to channel that extra energy.

This may bring frustration. But it can also give you the chance to polish what's already in play to a perfect shine. It's the opportunity to perfect your art, craft, public style, leadership skills. Later, this will serve you well when you're ready for your come back in Spring.

Look for ways to release pent-up energies in January. You might take your physical training to a higher level, for example. Or rekindle the passion with your mate. If you go into the love cave now, you'll find it's painted red and has erotic music piped in.

New Moon in Capricorn

Your ambition is piqued by Mars, and this new Moon (January 15th) brings out messages about your career, status, how you'll make your mark, your legacy. It's a time to commune with spirit about your true purpose. Venus draws near then, too, and aligns with the Sun and Moon. All this earthy rooted energy allows you to visualize realistic pathways to your creative goals.

It's a good time to think about the long haul. Your health may come into focus, and particularly, how you're treating your heart. You may want to look at new strategies for stress reduction. And in the midst of all this seriousness, find ways to play and laugh.

A Change in the Music

There's some relief from the feeling of being overburdened, when planets change signs around Jan 17-19. Jupiter goes into Pisces, giving you a taste of the sublime through art or spirituality. These themes find their way into your relationships and life's work.

You can enjoy the sparking that happens in a group, when the Sun and Venus move into Aquarius. If you've felt isolated, this transition opens the door to more connecting. You may find kindred spirits that you can share your dreams with. Some may be creative collaborators that show you experimental ways to make progress. You're likely to encounter quirky dudes and odd gals that shock you awake to ways of being. It's a breath of fresh air that's elevating, and not a moment too soon.

Full Moon in Leo

You may have trouble around the 17th, as Mars (Leo) opposes Venus (in Aquarius). This could have to do with how well you "play with others." You may be too absorbed in your own goals to see how they're at odds with a group. It's a chance to harmonize your sense of what you're wanting to achieve for yourself, with that of the whole.

This leads up to the glorious Full Moon on the 30th in your sign, that opposes planets in Aquarius. You can be illuminated now on what your own passions have to do with the times we're living in. It may confirm that you're on the right path, and embolden you to take more risks. It's a celebration of being your biggest self, in service to humanity as a whole.

Booby-Trapped Ending

The month ends not only with a Full Moon in your sign, but the exact square of biggies Pluto and Saturn. You might know that squares are very provocative. This is a challenge to hurl out of your life what's not working, while staying within the limits set by circumstances around you. It's not easy, since there may be a desire to make radical changes. And yet, this tension to confining Saturn sets the tone for the whole year.

Even as there are exciting and wildly unexpected new possibilities, there are many demands that press you to be resourceful and fair to those in your life. It's a test of your ability to use discernment to know when to take risks, and when to be cautious.

January Horoscope for Cancer:

After the Eclipse

The Full Moon/partial Lunar Eclipse on December 31st brings big news. The Moon is in your sign, and square to heavy hitter Saturn and opposed by Venus (beauty, love, creativity). It unfurls a message about your creative potential, and how to bring balance into your life. Events may happen that signify a turning point, hopefully one that shifts your personal axis toward greater fulfillment of deep needs.

While eclipses can bring good changes, they're often unsettling. This vibe of discord continues into January, as you try to re-establish your equilibrium. Mercury is in retrograde (in earthy Capricorn) through January 15th. This adds to a sense of being in-between where nothing is in order. This asks you to dig deep for patience, and let go of what's not in your control.

Mercury's Memory Hole

Mercury's retrogrades are introspective, and that's more in synch with your nature than many other Zodiac signs. You can travel back in the past of your imagination, seeking out dropped possibilities. Your ancestry and current family may be an unexpected source of hidden treasure. Traditions of the past may hold a key to current problems.

This retrograde may bring the usual frustrations as things go screwy. But there's a possibility that you dip back into a source of wealth that has deep roots. It's a chance to do some soul searching about how well you're using your resources, both tangible and intangible. You may realize you've got more to uncover than meets the eye.

New Moon in Capricorn

You're ready at the New Moon to set intentions that reflect your highest standards. Venus meets Capricorn here, and it's a Solar Eclipse. It's the second act of the Blue Moon (July 31st) and a chance to gain deep interior clarity on how to manifest your potential. But here again, expect surprises that are sign posts to guide you. As always, it's a great time to go within, listen deeply to spirit, and receive answers in dreams.

Jupiter in Pisces

You've got an important cosmic ally, when Jupiter goes into dreamy Pisces on the 18th. You'll find it easier to get in the zone with your creative imagination. Even if the real world is daunting, Jupiter reminds you that it's just one part of the story.

The realm of feeling, empathy and emotional impressions becomes the inspiration for the collective. Find ways to benefit and also give to others through these currents, since this is your natural groove.

Some Perspective

If the month starts out on a messy note, with psychic debris flying, there's relief around Jan 18/19th. The Sun and Venus move into airy Aquarius, allowing for some distance on what's happening. You can find comfort when melding with others, and collaborating rather than going it alone.

It's time for ideation where there are no limits, and quite a few genius innovations could emerge. This is the upside of the social upheavals of 2010. That there's a sense that "we're all in this together." You can feel this comeraderie in a big way toward the end of the month.

Out with a Bang

The month ends with a Full Moon in expressive Leo. This brings high spirits, and perhaps a bright idea about which creative risks are likely to bring a return on your investment. You're growing bolder, and the universe pokes and prods you all year to keep from letting insecurity stop you from taking chances. There may be a sense of celebration here, and mainly it's reveling in who you are, and what's possible.

The tension has been building toward the Full Moon, as well as the exact square of Saturn and Pluto (on the 31st). It may bring on a relentless pressure that's hard to deal with. At the same time, there's urgency to get to the heart of what's trying to come through you -- and be expressed in the world. You can tune into it with a lot of "me" time, journaling, talking with a wise, non-judgmental friend. You're on the verge of drastic change and renewal, and it's the kind that happens from the inside out.

January Horoscope for Gemini:

For Your Own Good

January is not going to be easy for you, Gemini. But if you find the grace and patience to deal with what comes, it'll give you a foundation for what comes later in 2010. Tensions build toward a Saturn-Pluto square at the end of the month. This caps off a month that may test you to the breaking point.

It may seem that there's a steady flow of frustrations and impossible-to-resolve situations. This can be tough on your nervous constitution, so do all you can to find the catharsis you need in other ways (yoga, intimate relations, creativity are some examples.) The bigger life issues may not find answers this month, which can be confounding. But it's like a Chinese finger puzzle, the more you pull on both ends, the more pain it brings.

Mercury Rx

Your ruler is retrograde in Capricorn through to the 15th. This can bring all kinds of snafus, and related to weighty matters of importance. It's hard to whip out your legendary humor in situations that even involve your very survival. It's a time to call on friends and family for support, pool your resources, and build community ties.

You may have to cover old ground that you thought was resolved. And it's unnerving to have major life issues so "up in the air." If the biggies can't be fixed, look for small ways to feel like you've made progress. Know that this too shall pass, and keep things as simple as possible.

No Easy Escape Routes

The pressure of major planets moving into cardinal signs means that we're on the edge of great social change. January brings realizations about what's no longer going to work. This could include patterns of denial or wiggling out of tight spots by turning on the charm. You can still be your light self, but you may be confronted in areas where you find it "hard to deal."

This fits nicely with your own growing need to feel rooted in substance within yourself. You can drop some of the personality habits that are just about distraction, or going in circles. You can hone in on your one true thing, and work toward mastery in areas that matter to you.

Changing Weather

You may notice a shift at mid-month when the Sun, Venus and Jupiter change signs. Jupiter goes into Pisces on the 18th, opening the doors to "think with your heart," rather than trying to figure it all out. This guides you toward the mystery of dreams, the imagination, waking dreams, serendipities and the like. You may rediscover your art, or go deeper into a spiritual quest at that time.

January Horoscope for Taurus:

You're looking at longstanding life issues from new angles now. Mercury is retrograde through the 15th, in the structure-seeing earth sign Capricorn. This gives you a chance to give your plans another look before going forward. You've got eyes to see what has substance, lasting value, and what is structurally sound.

As Mercury starts to come out of retrograde, after the New Moon in Capricorn, you'll get the solid answers you're seeking. This helps you make decisions about practical matters, like career moves, real estate, investments, wealth-protection in a tough economy, and the like.

Re-crafting your Image

The retrogrades in planets of ambition give you a chance to consider your public face. You may go in for a style make-over. You can retreat from the stage awhile now, and consider how you'd like to re-emerge. It's a mini sojourn into a more private space, with a comeback that's marked by more color and glamour.

If you're an artist, an overhaul to your image may be geared around taking yourself more seriously. Your ruler Venus is in status-minded Capricorn through the 19th. This brings out the desire to mingle with inspiring, successful people. It heightens the theme of wanting to be grounded with your talents, so your confidence is deeply rooted. You have the patience to be focused and diligent, as you work quietly for that big unveiling at a later date.

Venus Loves Everybody

Your ruler takes a turn on the 19th, when she moves into collaborative Aquarius. This turning point brings your solo projects out into a wider sphere. It's easier to convey what you're doing to co-workers, friends or across the virtual world. You can experiment and innovate, and find resonance with unlikely characters.

But Venus is glancing both Neptune and Jupiter this month, so watch out for rose-colored visions that make you crazy for love or friendship. You might meet kindred spirits, only to find that they're not grounded in the same reality as you are. The key is finding compatriots that are soaring with inspiration, but also able to see what's right around in 3D.

Finding a New Balance

Saturn in equalizing Libra is also retrograde this month. This lures you into relationship issues that need a second look. There's a Pluto square to Saturn (exact on the 31st) that aids you in expunging what's grown tired and lifeless. You can regenerate relationships, but this can also mean ending those that no longer serve a real purpose.

Artful Innovating

This month unusual people and ideas stream in. Some might offer possible solutions to dead end situations. What evolves from them may involve working with a team, partnership or collective. It opens an alternative path that's a way to get where you're wanting to go.

As sudden events happen -- some of which open doors -- you can meet them in a calm way. You may be more conservative in January, taking notes, which can be used later when you're pressed to take action. Ideas that seem too "out there" at first may be the ones that hold up under scrutiny.

Take your time this month, and use this relatively quiet month to prepare for the upheavals forecasted for most of 2010. Lose any excess baggage (weight), as a gift to yourself. Drink lots of pure, clean water. And get plenty of rest in this season of hibernation, where much is being incubated.

January Horoscope for Aries:

There's a calm before the storm feel to January. Mercury is retrograde through mid-month, in Capricorn. This has you inwardly going over weighty matters like career, or even financial survival. It's a time to see through the phony facade to what's really going on, in the "real world." This kind of intelligence helps you make decisions that will stand up in the tough times ahead.

Use this fallow period to dig deep into the foundations, to ferret out what's solid and can be built upon. This might include time-tested wisdom that comes through your ancestry. The focus is on what has lasting value. And what you pick up now guides you later, when there's more pressure to eek out every tangible resource, for use in going forward.

Revving in Reverse

Mars is also retrograde, in the showy sign of Leo. This has you instinctively drawing your creative projects out of the limelight. It's a great time to hone your craft or infuse life into what you're doing. You're revisited by ghosts of creative passions' past, and may see that they're time has come.

You can streamline your look now, and work on your public style. Mars helps you take off the marquis, those personal acts that have lost their appeal. You're going to be center stage in 2010, so take time to infuse your self-image with new dynamism. It's timely for upgrading your promo materials, so it better announces yourself to the world. The emphasis is on substance, so keep it real.

Capricorn New Moon (January 15th)

Just as Mercury is about to station direct, the New Moon in Capricorn folds you into the dark to go soul-mining yet again. You may sense that the solid bottom has not quite been reached, and there's more searching to do. It's hard to feel in limbo, but it's important not to build on shaky ground, too. This New Moon is a journey to the center of those questions -- about career, how you'll make your mark, your place in society, the quest for a substantial life.

This serious vibe moves into the love realm, as well, with Venus in Capricorn pushing for high standards. Old relationships may be tested, as you're overcome with a desire "not to settle" for anything inauthentic. It's a time of re-anchoring in what has depth, or the potential for growing strong roots.

Relating vs. Being the One

A theme this year is finding your authentic center, even as relationships take on greater urgency. This is the push pull that will only increase when Uranus (shocking personal evolution) goes into your sign in May. This begins the opposition to Saturn in Libra, across the Zodiacal wheel from Aries. You may go to extremes, favoring one side over the other as you try to find balance.

You're heading into truly challenging times, Aries. Saturn in Libra holds up a mirror to see yourself more clearly. What you "hate" or have strong reactions to in others, is likely something you've yet to integrate in yourself. And yet, take heart, because you can see these "projections" and integrate them at warp speed this year.

Into the Mystic

The lucky planet Jupiter goes into Pisces on the 17th, and this takes the edge off all the heavy-duty decisions you've been mulling over. This opens doors to direct work with spirit guides, lucid dreaming, and imaginative expansion in all areas. Some of the answers that have been elusive 'til now, may come through in otherworldly ways.

It's a good thing to be a force for the new. You're able to lift people up, just by being enthusiastic and fearless. You'll likely find that many are drawn to your belief in new beginnings. This is heightened when the Sun goes into collaborative Aquarius on the 18th. You shine in January when your natural surge-like persona is in service to the whole. As you dig ever deeper to find your earthy purpose, at some points, it'll line up with the needs/desires/aspirations of everybody. In those moments, you'll know you've hit on a current that can take you where you need to go!
