On January 9, approach your resolutions seriously since Pluto is carefully listening to your goals for transformation. Mercury’s move into Capricorn on January 11 will give us all the mental magic to manifest our strategies with discipline for three-and-a-half-weeks.
~*~Aries~*~
It’s promotion time! You’ve worked your ram’s tail off at work and the Universe is looking to reward your career commitment. Consider Tuesday a Plutonian turning point in your professional development. Brace yourself for career change. Ask the Universe what it would have you learn about self-development, then pay attention to what comes up for you.
~*~Taurus~*~
Change is coming, Taurus. I know you prefer consistency and comfort, but Tuesday’s Pluto transit wants you to let go of limiting beliefs that prevent you from exercising some personal growth. Remember, the only existential truth we can rely on is that change is inevitable. When Mercury enters Capricorn on Thursday, your thoughts and communication on “change” will get electrified by the smartest planet in the zodiac, so stay adaptable.
~*~Gemini~*~
On Tuesday, Pluto will energize your experiences with honesty, intimacy, and relationship commitment, giving you some much-needed clarification. Whatever you're worried about, you’ll move past the annoying “it’s complicated” status and into very certain territory if you’re proactive ... especially when Mercury enters Capricorn on Thursday and gives you the mindset to experience a newfound level of meaningful truth.
~*~Cancer~*~
It’s cuffing season, Cancer: experiences with romance and relationship compatibility are upon you. It’ll be a week of intense and casual opportunities when it comes to matters of the heart. Pluto’s activity on Tuesday is passionate and powerful, but when Mercury enters Capricorn on Thursday, you’ll feel less inclined for carnal intimacy and more enamored by intellect. Let your suitors know the way to your beautiful heart begins with your mind.
~*~Leo~*~
Are you reading this horoscope at the gym, Leo? Or maybe at a preventive care appointment at the doctor's office? No sign is more focused on manifesting resolutions this month quite like yours. Tuesday’s Pluto energy could strengthen your efforts on mental health. A powerful psychological breakthrough could help you execute your 2018 resolutions. Mercury entering Capricorn on Thursday will bless with you the discipline, self-composure, and grace to be the powerful Queen you’re capable of being.
~*~Virgo~*~
Everyone and her Mother knows how hard you work, Virgo. Now let everyone know how seriously you approach joy, romance, and pleasure. When Pluto intensifies your efforts to seriously enjoy life this Tuesday, you’ll feel a deep pull to express your creative and/or romantic feelings. Push the perfectionism aside and just do it. Create it! Say it! Mercury entering Capricorn will push you to work hard at experiencing and leaning into your joy.
~*~Libra~*~
There’s no place like home, Libra, and no sign knows the comfort of emotional security, divine femininity, and family quite like yours this month. Tuesday’s Plutonian power will push you to strengthen these experiences. Try not to take too much personally or make assumptions; if you do, that's just Pluto talking. Stay centered. When Mercury enters Capricorn, it’ll give you the ability to articulate your emotions and explain what you need to keep your heart safe.
~*~Scorpio~*~
Speak, Scorpio, speak! I know you’d rather sit back and observe quietly, but now is not the time for that. Pluto will intensify efforts to communicate through a possible conflict, so be curious about the experience - but not impulsively confrontational. When Mercury enters Capricorn on Thursday, it will give you the discipline to elevate your speaking and communication styles. You got this!
~*~Sagittarius~*~
Now that it’s time for you to be seen, Sagittarius, you’ll need to have your values clarified. Pluto will passionately electrify your finances and your values on Tuesday, so ask yourself what guides your decisions. If you don’t know, Pluto will help you understand quickly. Mercury in Capricorn beginning on Thursday will help as well - that will fortify your personal security and the beliefs that guide your most important decisions.
~*~Capricorn~*~
Happy Seagoat Season, Capricorn! I hope you’re enjoying your birth month because you are so deserving of the joy and celebrations the Universe is giving. As a self-aware sign, you’re in touch with what you’d like to personally change, so that helps! Tuesday’s Plutonian power will give you intense energy for healing, growth, intimacy, and forward movement. Mercury joins Capricorn on Thursday - if there’s something you need to say, just say it. Now's the time.
~*~Aquarius~*~
Surrender can be sweet, Aquarius. Don’t consider it quitting or resignation, but a healthy letting go of all low-level circumstances that fail to contribute to your personal highest good. Tuesday’s Pluto energy will give you strong energy to release all the bad stuff and transform. If you’re feeling raw and emotionally exposed, that’s totally normal. When Mercury enters Capricorn, your mental connection to spirituality (as you define it) will be the source for your healing and personal growth.
~*~Pisces~*~
Who’s on Team Pisces? Anyone lucky enough to call you their friend is a benefactor of generosity, empathy, and loyalty. That said, mutuality is always the name of the game. Tuesday’s Pluto activity will show you who can reciprocate your friendship capabilities. When Mercury enters Capricorn on Thursday, you’ll want to join with your friends and support each other’s dreams, goals, and resolutions.
