A New Beginning

Taurus, January looks to be an exciting month for you with plenty of new opportunities opening up. As messenger Mercury moves into Aquarius and a high-flying zone on Jan. 1, it’s time to get organized so that you can put some of your most innovative ideas and plans into action. If you want to impress others, let your genius out and you surely will.

There’s an emphasis on your sector of far horizons and fresh opportunities with the exciting new moon on the second. It can be a call to embrace new experiences, especially those that can spice up your future. This is no time to go for the tried and true but to expand your reach and develop the mentality of an avid explorer.

Brainy Mercury turns retrograde on Jan. 14, though, which can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you could experience delays or have to redo something. Because this takes place in a high-flying zone, your mistakes could be on view for all to see, so it would pay to take extra care over the coming three weeks. On the other hand, the answers to long-standing issues could show up and be a source of relief.

On the seventeenth, there is a powerful full moon in Cancer and your sector of talk and thought that could be quite emotional. Perhaps you can’t help sharing your feelings, and, while this might leave you vulnerable, it can clear the air and alert others to your situation.

When the sun moves into Aquarius on Jan. 19, it’s time to promote your talents and showcase your best skills. Take a leaf out of Leo’s book, and relish this time in the spotlight.

Finally, lovely Venus, your personal planet, turns direct on the twenty-ninth, which could be a turning point for you. If you’ve held back from making an important decision, any confusion can now dissipate, as you gain certainty about where you’re heading.
