However, early January asks you to work on developing the emotional intimacy within your relationships.

OnThursday, January 2, Vesta, the asteroid of sacred sexuality, moves into intense Scorpio.

This asks you to take emotional ownership over any romantic or sexual partnerships.

For some Libras, this could mean opening up and letting someone in.

For other Libras, it means accepting that a relationship isn’t working.

Early January also asks you to remind yourself of your independence.

Doing so will offer clarity into what’s working and what’s not.

Then, onMonday, January 6, Mars retrograde shifts into Cancer.

This affects your 10th House of Social Status, which is associated with career.

As a result, early January could feel quite frustrating professionally.

You’re likely filled with big ambitions and working hard to make dreams come true.

But it feels like you’re walking through molasses.

You want the world to move but it feels as if the gears are stuck.

If mastered, patience truly becomes a superpower.

Mars goes direct in late February, and things should smooth out then.

One that requires extra patience arrives onMonday,January 13, when theres a Cancer full moon.

You may feel a little on edge tonight.

The best way to deal with it is through creativity.

January 25 is a day for going to parties and networking.

The creativity continues once the sun moves into Aquarius, starting onSunday,January 19.

For the next few weeks, the sun is in your pleasurable 5th House.

While this area of your chart is often associated with sexuality, it’s also lovely for creation.

Afterall, art is often an expression of our sexuality.

Allow yourself to create while the sun is in Aquarius.

Your creativity may show up in new and unexpected ways during the Aquarius new moon onWednesday, January 29. the Year of the Snake.

This indicates the arrival of a transformative period for you.

2025 could see sweeping changes in your professional life and romantic relationships.

There is a time for action and a time for planning and reflectionand you’re currently in the latter.
