The month begins in the wake of the mid-December Sagittarius New Moon, which took place in your eighth solar sector of intimacy and partnership agreements, as well as signaling renewed investigation of your own inner world. These continue as active factors for the first ten days of January. Since your ruler, Venus, was in your relationship sector at this earlier New Moon timing, this also presages that partners will be on your mind as January gets underway. Another astrological archetype looming large for you as the month begins is represented by Trickster Uranus, located in your sign and featured in the recent New Moon by and inconjunct aspect from Sun and Moon. The astrological Uranus represents novel events and surprising ideas, as well as intuitional information beyond mere logic.

These two planets are currently in ‘mutual reception’ meaning they are in each other’s home signs or ‘domicile’.

The mutual reception between Jupiter and Venus could mean that there is a special connection between the support and opportunities being offered to you and your own personal progress although it may not be obvious. A partnership or an arrangement you have could be lucrative or play a significant role in your success at this time.

On the 4th, Mars enters Capricorn in the sector of your chart that relates to learning and your philosophical outlook.

This new cycle which relates to learning may take some time to unfold however the seeds that are planted at this time could develop solid roots in the coming weeks allowing you to integrate broader frameworks that can aid your progress in the world. Because Venus, your ruler, is in a very close trine with Chiron in this New Moon configuration, located in your sector of unconscious process, it is possible that intimations of inner wounding could come up for you as well, and if so, represent an opportunity for greater integration and healing. In these matters it is always better not to look away. Academia or long-distance travel may contribute to your expansion at this time and you should take on any opportunities that help you break out of stagnating patterns.
