Overview
The main reading
You start this month with low confidence. The sun in Capricorn stifles you somewhat. You feel like a muzzled horse. This is not the time to make big decisions – focusing on work will assist as a distraction and positive outlet for your energy. By the 13th, the sun will move into Aquarius and your ability to innovate will benefit you. Your powerful brain and unique way of thinking drive opportunity and financial blessings. Your self-confidence escalates, and you feel you can do anything. A busy schedule may leave you to feel that you can’t do it all – this is where organisation and planning will be useful. With Mercury in Capricorn you may feel lazy and lacking in confidence. On the 7th, Mercury moves into Aquarius and your ability to concentrate may be dampened making it crucial that you learn how to dim down the distractions. Even the best minds make little progress if they are constantly side-lined by every bright, shiny new thing that comes along. On the 25th, Mercury moves into Pisces ensuring profit, in terms of cash or jewellery. Your ability to communicate is the key to your success socially, as well as at work. On the 24th, Venus moves into Capricorn which can trigger unnecessary expenses so be mindful of your spending habits. Do you really need that thing, or do you simply want it? On the 6th, Mars moves into Aries which triggers fame and deep recognition. This is a good placement in all ways. What you want is clear to you.
