January 2016
Your Horoscope for January 2016
Our shared planetary picture
Mercury goes retrograde for three weeks this month from 5th to 25th (so be sure to make your resolutions before then). Mercury starts in Aquarius but spends most of its backward journey in Capricorn. Try to avoid signing anything until after 25th if possible as otherwise things may need to be re-done later.
Four planets are in Capricorn over this month, so authorities, structures and hierarchies are likely to be a prominent focus. This includes managers, bosses and parents, some of whom may be making power plays around 4th – 6th.
Jupiter also goes retrograde on 8th to re-examine recent expansion. So lots of reviews are going on. Mars however, is not holding back and leaps firmly into Scorpio, ready for decisive action from 3rd. This will be dynamic in different areas of life for each sign.
So what will this mean for us all?
Read the horoscope for your Sun sign and for your Ascendant sign if you know it.
Aries: There’s lots of action in your father, career and social status zone this month as Sun, Mercury, Pluto and then Venus take residence and keep you busy there. Sun and Pluto create intensity around 4th – 6th, so watch out for power surges (yours or other people’s). This is followed by New Moon on 10th which marks a new beginning professionally or status-wise in some way. Meanwhile Mercury goes retrograde from 5th – 25th taking you back to review how you’ve been dealing with communications in these areas.
Jupiter also goes retrograde on 8th calling for a review in your work, health and service to others zone. Perhaps some of these could helpfully feature in your New Year’s Resolutions?
Your ruling planet Mars leaps into your 8th House of birth, sex, death, joint funds, taxes, debts and inheritances on 3rd. You’ll want to take action and fortunately there’s lots of energy on hand to do so.
Mars also co-operates well with Neptune from 14th – 16th linking your inner world to these events. Honour your sensitivity!

Taurus: Mars in your opposite sign from 3rd is making relationships and partnerships dynamic. This could feature you pursuing a certain someone or someone pursuing you or fireworks from feisty partners or perhaps from you!
Your ruling planet Venus has lots going on too. It gets constrained by Saturn from 7th – 9th but excitement follows when it teams up with Uranus from 11th – 13th.
Mercury retrograde from 5th falls in your travel, studies, legal and ethics zone. Double-check communications and side-step power plays around 4th – 6th. Jupiter goes retrograde too from 8th in your romance, children and creativity zone. A review of some kind is needed here too. Now what could that be?

Gemini: Most of the planetary action is in your 8th House of birth, sex, death, joint funds, taxes, debts and inheritances this month. Sun and Pluto join forces there from 4th – 6th which is strong stuff and New Moon on 10th offers a new start too. Your ruling planet Mercury is also retrograde in these areas from 5th – 25th so be sure to check and double check that everyone’s on the same page.
Relationships and partnerships are also on your mind, especially around 7th – 9th when Venus joins serious Saturn.
Mars hits your 6th House from Jan 3rd, meaning action on the work, health and service to others front. Your daily routine could benefit from Mars’s attention too, to prepare for the many changes ahead in 2016.

Cancer: Relationships and partnerships (personal and business) take centre stage this month. As well as the Sun, Pluto and later in the month, Venus moving through your opposite sign, Mercury’s there also for most of the month and it’s retrograde. This means you have to be clearer than usual in your communications with partners and double-check anything important that’s been discussed.
There’ll be some intensity around 4th – 6th, possibly around power issues with partners but New Moon on 10th offers a fresh start. If you have documents to sign though, try to leave it until after 25th when Mercury goes direct.
Mars is activating your romance children and creativity zone from 3rd. This means you’ll be wanting to take action. A nice aspect from Mars to Neptune around 14th – 18th includes your ideals and ethics and other cultures may feature in some way.
Here’s more about your 2016 http://positive-elements.com/2016-your-year-ahead/
Leo: Work, health and service to others is your main focus this month, along with colleagues, living companions and your daily routine. 4th – 6th could feature intense experiences around these and communications are key from 5th – 25th when Mercury goes retrograde. Be extra clear to avoid misunderstandings.
Mars moves into your mother and home zone on 3rd which means action (or heated exchanges) on the home front. If this involves DIY or make-overs, try not to overspend as Jupiter goes retrograde in your finance area from 8th.
Full Moon in Leo on 24th finds an emotional you! Now why might that be?

Libra: Your mother and home zone is positively buzzing this month and when Sun meets power-wielding Pluto around 4th – 6th anything could happen… Mercury is retrograde though from 5th – 25th so communications can be tricky.

Finances might feel serious around 7th – 9th but by 11th you’ll be feeling more liberated. Mid-month Mars also forms a positive aspect to Neptune which could enhance romance, dealings with children and creative flow.

Pisces: Recent developments in relationships and partnerships take a reverse turn from 8th when Jupiter goes retrograde. Mercury likewise goes retrograde from 5th – 25th in your friends, groups, community and organisations zone.

Mars is busy in your travel, study, publishing, ethics and legal zone from 3rd and spurs you on in terms of getting your ideals ‘out there’ around 14th – 18th.
Venus remains in your 10th House of father, career and social status until 23rd. People in high places will look on you kindly and are more likely than usual to grant your wishes. If you have favours to ask, go ahead.
