This is a month of changes for you, Pisces, as indicated by the Capricorn New Moon that astrologically began the month featuring retrograde Mars in close opposition to the transformational intensity of Pluto at the 1° mark of Aquarius. Because Aquarius represents your sector of unconscious process within the deeper layers of your psyche, and because the New Moon also has Mercury in close aspect to Chiron, it is possible that you will throughout the January month encounter remnants of early childhood wounding that will arise to allow you the opportunity for progress toward healing such issues. In the course of this rather intense monthly cycle, you are also gaining a better understanding on your own internal moral compass that is uniquely your own, and which might be a great help to you moving forward. Capricorn references your social sector of friendships, group affiliations, and future plans, and this area becomes another important focus for you for January. Lunations along the way reflect stages of growth in awareness, with the First Quarter Moon of the 6th and the Cancer Full Moon of the 13th being significant junctures. In the Full Moon configuration, retrograde Mars precisely trines Neptune, your ruler, and brings up introspective questions you might have regarding societal contribution and your sense of authentic identity as you feel yourself evolving. On January 21st the Moon’s Last Quarter brings you to contrasts of outer understanding versus inner process along with penetrating consensus thought forms to embrace deep-seated values that are uniquely your own.

The new month and year began astrologically for you with the Capricorn New Moon from the final days of the previous month, corresponding to your social sector of friendships, group affiliations, and future plans. This is the configuration for the thirty-day cycle that commenced from that time and that percolates through the first four weeks of the January month. You could find yourself in good company, among friends or community members, as the year begins. In addition to having fun with your peers you could also see this as a fresh start in how you characterize yourself in this area. With trickster Uranus in this picture, there could be surprises along the way, or unexpected realizations. The transformational impact of Pluto is also highlighted in this New Moon, affecting your sector of values and resources including your financial ones. These could turn out to be in flux in some ways; although included with this also is the concept of rising above any difficulties to a more evolved understanding of your deepest values and of your entire material situation.
From the 2nd on, your zodiac sign hosts friendly, flirty Venus so you could be more connected to those around you that are like-minded, as an integral part of goings-on. Perhaps you’ll find yourself instrumental to meet-ups, classes or get-togethers this month. It’s not only relational Venus moving through Pisces that favors social interactions, Saturn governs networking and teamwork in your horoscope, and transits your sign for the long haul: March 2023 to February 2026. This might prompt associates and group members to look to you, with potential responsibilities on your shoulders thanks to an organization, society or your circle. Your modern ruler, planet Neptune is slowly touring your sign too, and
From the 10th to the 13th, Mars trines Neptune, your solar chart ruler, giving you extra energy leading up to the Cancer Full Moon.
On the 11th, the karmic North Node enters your sign, signaling future eclipses that will come in your first house of self and identity. Here you might sense the commencement of a considerable focus on you and your development, along with perhaps your appearance, personality, physicality or philosophy. You could see this as an opportunity to increase awareness of how you present yourself, as part of a clique or club, or find attention naturally flows in your direction.
Your position and finances, what you’ve accumulated or earned might also be poignant this month. Your money planet Mars is retrograde, potentially nudging you to evaluate day-to-day habits that impact your spending or income. The job you’re assigned to do, tasks, duties and your lifestyle may be intense early in the month.
Then, on the 6th, the First Quarter Moon lands in Aries, or your sector of resources and values, conjuncting there the slow-moving presence of Chiron, the Wounded Healer, which might remind you of places hidden deep within yourself where you might be feeling insufficient or less than full confident. Also on the 6th, Mars, planet of assertion and motivation, which also rules this Aries sector, re-enters Cancer, reactivating your fifth sector of fertility, conception, inspiration, talents and the arts. You might feel the impetus to reassess your role as it relates to your kids, creative outlets, hobbies or sources of joy. You might also feel the need to question your values, compensation, salary or rewards, and how this relates to your own happiness. Additionally, in this quarter Moon lunation, communicator Mercury in your career zone squares Neptune, so that clarity around your goals might be lacking, or at least fuzzy, or perhaps idealized. Ideas about successes, status or public perception might not be entirely aligned with your authentic truth, so that it might be necessary to reconcile these notions.
January 13th sees the Cancer Full Moon flourishing in your sector of self-expression and creativity, closely aligned with Mars. Here you might find illumination of your passions, and the ways that romance or imagination plays a role in your life, while also touching on awareness of the cost of things, and your financial investments. This might be a pertinent time to face what you want and what you feel you need (along with any children you may have). This lunation brings into consideration the way you make a living or deal with the practicalities of life. The Sun, Moon, and Mars are synchronized with both numinous Neptune and unruly Uranus during this lunation, suggesting plenty of synergy that could surprise, confuse, and ultimately benefit you. Look for the things you love and desire that are compatible with your evolving sense of self, and a changed or altered mindset toward local environments, neighbors and close contacts. You are more determined than ever to find your own way forward.
Venus squares Jupiter in your domestic zone in the Full Moon configuration, and there could be a celebratory feel to your local home and family environment and the relationships that make up its character. There may be important developments in your space that must be reconciled at this time. Being personally attuned to your surroundings could be important or aligning yourself with household plans, along with balance in these areas.
On the 19th, the Sun enters Aquarius, conjuncting Pluto there, followed by Mercury nearly a week later, on the 27th, with both of these events further emphasizing your dream work and internal process. Pluto’s presence is strong around these dates, and you could find you’re journeying into a space of transformation, with deep revelations in your private life.
On the 21st, the Last Quarter Moon with the Sun still in conjunction with transformational Pluto, and with the Moon in square. This is another significant lunation of the January month, with Mars in partile or same-degree sextile to trickster Uranus, and in a T-square with Eris, the new 21st century planet beyond Pluto in support of soul intention. You might feel empowered, from the inside out, to more authentically inhabit your true intention for yourself in this lifetime,
The New Moon in Aquarius on January 29th colors the following thirty days of the associated lunation cycle, into February. As this sign corresponds to your sector of unconscious process, the next cycle is subtle in its effects, but lasting in their eventual impact. You will want to pay attention to what’s called to mind, as fresh concepts might be introduced that serve your spiritual life. The Sun is harmonized with Jupiter during the New Moon, which could be favorable for parental relations, as well as for trusting the process that’s unfolding for you both consciously and beneath the surface.
