January 2020- A Life Altering Month of Authenticity, Death + Rebirth, Major Shifts of Power
Welcome to January 2020! We have now entered: a new month, a new year and a new decade! January 2020 promises to be one of the most life altering months of the year! This is mainly due to the fact that we are in the fated and destined Eclipse period. Eclipse energy is rich with surprises and changes. This month there is so much intensity and transformation that it might seem a bit overwhelming. Rest assured though, these shifts and realizations, are the beginning of a new life built on: authenticity, truth and the will to move forward.
On January 2nd, Mercury, the planet of: the mind, communication and contracts, in the sign of Capricorn, comes to greet Jupiter, the planet of: hope, inspiration and expansion, also in the sign of Capricorn. Capricorn, the 10th zodiac sign, deals with: authority, obligation, responsibility and the patriarch. Mercury conjunct Jupiter in Capricorn, will create a sense of order and integrity to our business plans and projects. A tone of seriousness is often the result of this aspect. We will say what we mean and mean what we say with this transit. Big time deals could happen in and around this date. Structured conversations based on practicality and realism will be had by many folks. We will want to get "down to business" and our sense of patience and tenacity will be met with malleability and dexterity.
On January 10th, the Moon, which rules our: emotions, soul and inner core, becomes full at 20 degrees of Cancer. Cancer, the 4th zodiac sign, deals with: the mother, home, family, nurturing and comfort. We have now reached the 2nd lunar cycle inside of Eclipse season. This Lunar Eclipse and will signify massive shifts of fate that herald: major endings, completions and manifestations. It will be quite emotional and laden with complexities and perhaps even drama. This is even more evident due to the fact that the Moon is at home and rules the sign of Cancer.
The Lunar Eclipse at 20 degrees of Cancer will bring emotional issues to the forefront. We will feel ultra protective and quite the "mama bear" with this eclipse. Major shifts around: family dynamics, home and our roots will be highlighted by this eclipse. A feeling of wanting to come home to our heart will also be evident. The Lunar Eclipse in Cancer will oppose both Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. There will be a tug of war between: our feelings vs. society, our intuition vs. reason and our family vs. our career life. Power struggles of all kinds will be at hand and we could feel rather conflicted and unsure of how to find balance. The Lunar Eclipse in Cancer opposing Saturn/Pluto in Capricorn will be a pressure cooker of relenting drive but also deep sensitivity. We will need to remember to breathe and take it one step at a time. The intense feelings that this Lunar Eclipse will produce will be both enlightening and perhaps at the same time quite frightening. Relaxing and going with the flow will be the keys to success with all these astrological fireworks. It won't be easy but will be necessary and will help to temper the intensity and "full on" nature of this lunar event.
The next day, on January 12th, Saturn, the planet of: obligation, structure, authority and Pluto, the planet of: death/rebirth, transformation and regeneration, come to greet one another at 22 degrees of Capricorn. Capricorn, the 10th zodiac sign, deals with: the patriarch, big business, government, destiny and karma. Every 33-37 years, Saturn and Pluto come to greet one another and the last time was in 1982-1983. This particular aspect within the sign of Capricorn, hasn't happened in over 500 years and it is sure to be quite a monumental event. Saturn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn will create a massive and unforgettable shift within power structures and our foundation. There could be many breakdowns within society and shifts of power with this aspect. Many of these will have been brewing for quite some time and this aspect will be the pinnacle where karma is reaped and sowed. An air of authenticity and power will prevail for existing structures within our lives. Wherever 22 degrees of Capricorn is in your chart( give or take a degree or two) is where you will see these major re-alignments and shifts on a tangible level. Expect to hit the reset button and it could be very dramatic and come without much warning.
Moving on to the middle of the month, on January 20th, the Sun, which rules: our vitality, core and ego, shifts from the earth sign of Capricorn over to the air sign of Aquarius. Finally, a slight reprieve from all the heavy Capricorn energy arrives. Aquarius, the 11th sign of the zodiac, deals with: invention, originality, genius and humanitarian efforts. We are now ready to take all of the structures and plans of the last month and create a masterpiece of re-invention and enterprise. No other sign likes their freedom like an Aquarius( I know as I am one). An air of detachment and creation is at hand and the universe wants us to connect and create from a space of giving and altruism. On January 24th, the moon, which rules our: emotions, intuition and inner core, becomes a new at 4 degrees of Aquarius. New moons herald: beginnings, imitations and fresh starts. The New Moon in Aquarius will bring a fresh air of possibilities that have to do with our connection to humanity and cater to the unique beat within our heart. This is a great lunar cycle to strike out with passion about a cause or charity that warms our heart. We will want to incorporate a new sense of freedom and genius into our plans. A sense of destiny is at play with this lunar cycle and our efforts will focus on the bigger picture for all involved.
January 2020 is a month unlike any I have personally ever seen. There is so much change and intensity to the month that we literally begin a new year and decade with quite a BANG. January 2020 wants to bring your attention to the strength and tenacity that each of us hold, especially among-st chaos and life altering changes. We are much stronger and resilient than we often give ourselves credit for. This month will ask you to dig deep into your core and become a pillar of authenticity and truth. You can't f%ck around with these energies. You must face the fire straight on and be willing to deal with whatever upheavals occur with grace and dignity. It is a month that could change your life forever. January 2020 promises: incredible shifts of fate, authentic truths, and the willpower and drive to face the toughest of the tough and rise higher and stronger then ever!
