January 2015 horoscope - Capricorn

I follow the sidereal calendar; this is the January 2015 horoscope for birthdays from 15^th January to 12^th February or Capricorn Ascendants and Moons

Happy birthday Capricorn! The New Year begins with the planets slowly but surely moving into your sign, giving you a fresh boost of energy which perhaps you haven’t felt in a long time. Perhaps things feel a little lighter than they have done for a while and you are actually able to enjoy what happening around you and to you. Needless to say that this has a positive impact on your relationships and although Jupiter, the planet of expansion is retrograde now in your partnership zone, you may be glad for things in that department to be slowing down a little. Some of you may have had plenty of opportunities in the past months but either you were busy with work or your partner was somehow unavailable, not present or distant. While not much moves forward during the retrograde, it’s a time to reflect and review and gather your thoughts again and think about what you truly want from a relationship – if you want one in the first place. I say this because all of your travel zones are activated at the moment, so it’s looking like you can’t stay in one place for too long anyway! Of course this does not apply to all Capricorn, you oh so responsible creatures, but something in your chart demands your focus at the moment and whether that simply has to do with you evolving the way you think, learning something new, making new experiences and therefore growing psychologically, it simply take away some of the attention a new relationship needs. Just as well, you are allowed a breather in this area now. Again, for other Capricorns who are in an established relationship, travelling together with your partner now broadens both of your horizons.

The full Moon on 5^th January in Gemini is a time for you to reflect on your health, stress levels and to soothe any issues around relationships and shared finances.

In Vedic astrology, this full Moon is in the nakshatra of Purnavasu, ruled by Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion. This is the nakshatra of the excellent, the good and the ‘blessed’ and the bright one. With Jupiter being the ruler of this nakshatra, it indicates wealth, goods, riches and property; it is ruled by the god of capital wealth or the god of life. It gives the ability to ‘create’ - in form and in structure – hinting at success in everything they undertaken now. This is the nakshatra of the natural educator with a love for world travel and a pronounced interest in religious belief systems, ritual traditions with a love for children.

With Mercury in your sign, you’ll also have a very clear idea and ability to express your thoughts, reason with others and equally, convince others – although not an overly emotional placement, at least, you’ll be able to reason rationally. At least until 21^st January, this is a nice placement if you wanted to debate relationship and money matters, which, as the month goes on become a more prominent source of either worry or ‘only’ demand your attention.

Mercury then goes retrograde on 21^st January and until 12^th February 2015. The consequences or hiccups of this retrograde period can be felt until 4^th March 2015 – after this time, things to do with education, travel, children and creative projects, teaching and mentoring will ‘flow’ a little more easily again.

The new Moon on 20^th January in your sign again highlights relationship matters and any issues associated with that – only this time round, it’s personal and really demand your focus and attention. With Jupiter in opposition this year, things get magnified, for good or bad. At that point Mercury is also about to go retrograde so it’s not a time to start initiating but a major time to review, renegotiate and eventually restart – watch things unfold in your relationships, intimacy and shared finances over the next six to nine months. Have a great month, Capricorn!
