I like what I see for you in January 2013, Sagittarius. The fog of the past couple of months shifts and as most years, really, you enter the New Year with bags of energy. The Sun, Mercury and Pluto are all in you 1st house of self and, your body and your physical vitality. Not only do you have a lot of physical stamina now, you also seem to be much clearer about what you want and how to get there. Venus, the planet of love, generally speaking, and in your chart, the planet that also rules your hopes and dreams follows on the 5th January. This placement makes you more charming, attractive and open to new experiences; it now seems a little easier for you to turn your dream into reality with the help of your vast network, friends and your community. With so many planets in the solar 1st house, it may be no surprise that your mind also turns towards yourself and how you are viewed by other people. With Pluto, the planet of deep transformation hovering over your 1st house, changes in who you are, maybe how you look and how you dress have been on the agenda for a number of years. This month, it still affects especially those born from 29th December – 2nd January or those with their Ascendants at 12 – 17 degrees of Sagittarius. Major changes in your home environment and emotional evolvement are also still at play which may also be tied into how you go out into the world. Perhaps you are moving house or are planning to over the next few months?
The new Moon on 11th January at 27 degrees of Sagittarius in your 1st house is yet another opportunity for you to start afresh. It’s a time to reinvent yourself, it’s that time of the year when you have a lot of personal energy and where you can put your best foot forward. While this is not directly associated with meeting someone new, your new outlook can lay the foundations for a new partnership – in any case, you’ll see the results six months later at the Gemini full Moon at the end of June.
The big news this month also is that the North node / Rahu changes signs on 15th January 2013, moving into the sign of Libra where it will remain for the next 18 months. During this time, many of us are seeking and even craving the best in one-on-one relationships and more balance in the house ruled by Libra in your chart. Our task is now to learn to share with others and get to know the other’s likes, dislikes, quirks, habits, routines, hopes, wishes and fears. Ultimately, lasting companionship based on true reciprocity is the goal over the next 1 ½ years, especially with Saturn in the same sign. It’s a time when we can achieve inner balance necessary for us to achieve our goals through partnerships cooperation with others. In Indian astrology, this placement is considered to magnify a passion for beauty, design, harmonious relationships, and social order. Rahu is insatiable and enlarges everything it touches, so some of us may take ‘risks’ and become a bit obsessive in wanting to achieve beautifully balanced, equitable social arrangements. Due to the insatiable nature of the Rahu, balancing multiple relationships, and keeping up a flawless public appearance becomes crucial. For you Sag, this shift takes place in your 11th house of friends, gains, networks and your hopes and dreams. I already said this last month but the next couple of years can be quite lucrative for you with exalted Saturn in this house and this month, exalted Mars travels through your 2nd house of earned income. It very much seems as though you can attract or negotiate the right pay package for you. Use the first two weeks of the month to do the groundwork and apply for a new job if that’s what you want, or go for the higher position. The second half of January is then the best time to talk money. It’s seems to be less of a question of when but how much. As always, transits can have two sides and this one at the end of January can turn you into a spendthrift. Keep your money in your wallet and your wallet in your handbag or even better, at home. You may be attracting some money to you but you may also feel like spending more than you have. If that’s the case, turn the energy around and think about why you feel like spending so much…!
You’re not meant to go it alone in the next couple of years and the concept of partnerships is also emphasised by the nakshatra placement of the new Moon (in Indian astrology, the chart is divided into 27 sections, each is one nakshatra). This new Moon falls in the nakshatra of Uttarashadha and quite simply symbolises victory. It’s also a competitive nakshatra that pushes us to achievements – but always in partnership with others. On the other hand, a new Moon in this nakshatra also means that if we can’t win or reach our goals very easily, we’ll find another path that allows us to achieve these dreams.
The full Moon on 27th January is in your solar 8th house. Full Moons are often turning points but as opposed to the new Moons, it’s a turning point that we’ve seen coming for some time or suddenly all the information we need is available to us. The January 2013 full Moon is in a nice sextile to supportive Jupiter, a trine with innovative Uranus but also in a square to sobering Saturn. In your 8th house, this relates to other people’s resources, whether emotional or financial, others hold the key to your financial situation now. This can simply mean that after all the negotiating in January, it is ultimately still up to someone else how much ends up in your bank account. There is a lot of planetary activity going on around the financial axis of your chart this month and the last view days should really see discussion, doubts or hesitations come to a close.
The month then ends with your ruler Jupiter going direct on 31st January in your 6th house of work and health routines which may just be the final move to do the i’s and cross the t’s!
A huge amount of progress in many areas of your life and a great start to the year! Enjoy!
