Astrological Insights for January
As we enter January, the cosmic energies are shifting significantly. Mars retrograde moves back into Cancer on January 6, igniting our emotions and tempers. On the same day, the First Quarter Moon in Aries attempts to calm this energy by uniting with the healing centaur, Chiron. Additionally, Mercury in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces, which may leave us feeling exhausted. Just two days later, Mercury enters Capricorn, bringing clarity and direct messages our way. This month also marks the transition of the North Node of Destiny into Pisces and the South Node into Virgo on January 11, urging us to embrace our dreams over the next 1.5 years. Finally, Mars and Saturn in Pisces harmonize on the 12th, encouraging us to take control of our lives and pursue our ventures unapologetically.
Mystical Tip for the First Quarter Moon
The First Quarter Moon on January 6 is an excellent time to introduce novel ideas into our lives. With the Moon in Aries linking up with Chiron, it’s a prime opportunity to mend our lives by aligning with what we love. Embrace your inner child by engaging in activities you’ve always wanted to do since your youth. No matter how minimal or trivial, these actions will leave you feeling free, reborn, and ready to take on the world.

Channel the intense energy of Mars’s retrograde into a creative project. This distraction can help mitigate any anger that arises. You may discover new talents emerging that you didn’t know you had.
Taurus
Vulnerability can be a source of strength. If you feel more empathetic, use this energy to help others with their issues. This act of giving can provide a healthy distraction from your own problems.
Gemini
If your insights bring bad news, avoid discussing problems in the morning to prevent temperamental reactions. While you may feel an urge to be spontaneous, try to control these impulses.
Cancer
Keep your eyes open for signs regarding your career this week. Writing down your ideas can help you organize your thoughts and plans as guidance from the stars unfolds.
