With the sun in persistent Capricorn to start the month, you can finally finish some of those projects that have been bugging you lately. Crossing items off your to-do list is so satisfying! You?re able to pay close attention to the details now, which will help you do quality work and put you one step closer to the success you desire and deserve.

However, when assertive Mars pairs up with slow-moving Taurus on January 6, you?re willing to sit back and take a more patient view of the situation. The Bull gets the ball rolling but is in no hurry for it to cross the finish line. ?Slow and steady wins the race? is the Taurus motto, so trying to force anything to happen during this transit will inevitably backfire.

An exciting Leo new moon on the thirteenth gives you a glimpse of something to look forward to, but your ego could get in the way of you fully enjoying it. You?re in the spotlight, but you might not get the applause you think you deserve. And that?s okay, Pisces. Sharing the stage is fun, too.

Mercury turns retrograde in Aquarius on January 30, challenging some of your long-held beliefs and opinions. As you go through what could be labeled something of an identity crisis, try to keep an open mind. Turn arguments into opportunities to learn something new without passing judgment on anyone.
