Leo (July 23 – August 22)
January invites you into a month of deep reflection and spiritual growth. With Mars retrograde in your sign at the start of the month and then in Cancer after January 6, you may feel compelled to press the pause button on life’s activities and be more introspective. This retrograde period encourages you to explore the hidden gems in the subconscious realm – to prioritize the invisible and unseen. Then, it begs you to come out of hiding in all ways. Shine your light for all to see!
Mars opposes Pluto on January 3, stirring up power struggles with authority figures, mentors, or those who challenge your ideas.

Until then, hold space for any discomfort you feel.
