January 2012 Astrology

Written by Vivienne Moran

AQUARIUS (Jan 20- Feb 18)

You are moving through an extended period of contemplation and introspection that can result in a fantastic learning experience; one that helps to improve your life in some way. Growth on several levels is likely to become noticeable as being much to your advantage. You should be able to see your direction in life more clearly.  Tremendous spiritual awareness can become a part of this scenario. Encounters with others may become more interesting and stimulating due to more flexibility of thought. Strong hints of the unusual and the unexpected are featured in many of your everyday conversations. Your communicative skills tend to be sharper than ever. Matters centered on finances and the domestic scene are also prominent throughout your personal new year. The January 8 full moon sheds light on medical matters, co-workers and everyday routine affairs. However, home and family issues may take top priority. The new moon on January 22 is all about you and your individual objectives. Let your light shine personally and professionally.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20)

January opens with a heavy accent on friendships, professional associates and community interaction. Broaden your involvement in social activities; this can have an advantageous affect on a personal and/or professional objective. Be confident when sharing your ideas and opinions; you can rely on others for supportive suggestions. Your popularity is on the rise; however, the January 22 new moon cycle can be best used for work done behind the scenes or in solitude. Research or projects that require deep concentration should run smoothly. Time spent alone can be rejuvenating.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20)

Domestic duties versus professional obligations may set off emotional sparks with the onset of the January 8 full moon. This temporary situation should improve within days. A co-worker can be instrumental in easing a heavier than usual workload. Need a helping hand? Just ask! A family member may come to your rescue if an important home project has been placed on the back burner. This is NOT the time to “fly solo”; positive results come faster and easier with teamwork. Friends play a significant role in your everyday affairs when the new moon of January 22 comes into play.

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 20)

You may focus a great deal of  attention toward affairs outside of your home environment during much of January. If career oriented, there are likely to be fresh opportunities to improve your status. Upgrading your skills by attending seminars or classes can be extremely beneficial to your long term goals. If home is where your heart is, getting involved with neighborhood events can bring gratifying results. This is a good time for taking part in any type of creative and craft project.  Long distance travel is also favorably featured. People you meet along the way tend to be warm and friendly.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21)

The January 8 full moon period places an accent on financial affairs especially those related to household projects or real estate transactions. You may feel the urge to splurge. Do some comparative shopping before making a final decision; there could be some unanticipated bargains available. Energies shift with the onset of the January 22 new moon cycle. Mind expanding activities including a trip to distant shores may become topics of interest. Try to visit a place you have never been to before. Learning about other cultures or new philosophies can enrich your life in many ways.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 21)

Partnerships and how well you communicate with them is strongly emphasized. Close one- on-one discussions with anyone you interact with can be very productive. Your mind may be swimming with fresh ideas but it could be in your best interest to be a good listener during the time of the January 8 full moon phase. Financial matters become the topic of conversation as the month progresses. Joint decisions regarding investments and money management look encouraging and seem to set up a solid foundation for the future. A practical approach works best.

LEO (Jul 22-Aug 22)

You may choose to spend the opening days of January reviewing your current situation in order to set fresh goals. Think conservatively when making decisions regarding money, career and/or health factors. Relationships of all kinds take on importance during the time of the January 8 full moon. It is an opportune time to strengthen the bonds of affection with your loved ones; solid connections can become even more stable. Keep a watchful eye open for a way to improve upon your physical fitness program and nutritional habits. A healthier you is in the budding stage.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22)

Your goals are highlighted at the time of the full moon on January 8. Your calendar of events appear to confirm what a busy person you are likely to become in the months ahead. Decisions concerning your personal life, romance, children’s needs, travel and/or education may keep you mentally alert. Your thinking looks to be sharp and clear, leaning toward a practical approach. Your attention may be drawn toward conditions related to co-workers, pets and medical factors with the onset of the January 22 new moon. Original thinking patterns should help you if problems surface.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23)

Any doubts or concerns you have about taking on more responsibilities involving worldly business or professional ambitions may increase during the opening weeks of January. Home and family obligations could play a large role while considering the options available for consideration. The shifting of energy ushered in with the January 22nd new moon is a reminder that it is NOT an all-work-and-no-play month. Your daily routine and on-the-job performance while at home or work can become a “labor of love” that has gratifying overtones. Mixing business with pleasure has rich rewards.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22)

A strong sense of restlessness accompanies the full moon of January 8. A brief break from the daily routine appears to be refreshing. Thoughts of travel or walking down an unfamiliar path to experience something new may have you giving thought to expanding your social circle. Connecting with individuals from a foreign country or from a background very different from yours may seem inviting. Educational pursuits are favorably accented. The domestic scene is enlivened during the January 22nd new moon period. A project placed on the back burner over the holidays may come to life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23-Dec 21)

Getting your financial house in order continues to be the main theme as January gets underway. Jointly held assets including negotiations with bankers, brokers and other lending institutions can become the topic of conversation during the emotionally charged full moon of January 8. If a difference of opinion is apparent, it might best to postpone discussion for a few days when a sizable measure of compromise is featured. Home and/or neighborhood activities are enlivened as January comes to a close. A beautification or decorating theme may go on the agenda.
