Libra (September 22 – October 22)
As the new year begins, take a moment to reflect on the past year. What milestones you reached! Bask in the brilliance of your achievements, and let it spark hope for the year ahead. Perfectionism is a little-known Libra trait, often showing up as decision paralysis. Sometimes, we need a reminder: there are no perfect decisions. Remember that as we move through the Mars retrograde cycle (until February 23), we must practice much-needed self-compassion.
The Sun shines in Capricorn until January 19, centering your focus on the home and family. Take the first two weeks of the month to slow down and organize for the year ahead. Begin with your home. Is it time for a deep declutter? Clean, clear, and purge! Creating space in your environment can open doors for new things and beginnings.
The Cancer Full Moon on January 13 shifts your attention to your public life, and there's nothing like the influence of rabble-rousing Mars in Cancer to fire up your inner activist. Let the motivation drive your goal-setting strategy sessions for the year ahead.
The Sun enters Aquarius on January 19, shifting your focus toward all things that light up your heart, including love. If you've been feeling blocked creatively, this month allows you to break through those blocks. Be careful not to lurk in the shadows on January 21 as the Sun meets Pluto and compels you to face your dark side. It also shines a light on the shadow aspects of our world, making us all pay attention. We can't transform what we can't see. Consider this the inception point of a new consciousness.
The New Moon on January 29 will set you free, help you remove the resistance holding you back, and give you the courage to move forward.
