Pisces - January 2020

Welcome to 2020, Pisces!  A romantic start to the year is in store for fishes, as Venus showers love and light on your sign from the 14th of January!  This is a fabulous time to let the object of your affections know how you feel about them, the atmosphere will be an exciting one of flirtation and attraction.  If you have romantic intentions towards a friend, use the fortunate Venus/Jupiter sextile of the 17th to 30th to express your feelings, too.  If you’re not overly interested in romance right now, just spreading some love around will make you feel fabulous. Venus’s conjunction with Neptune after the 23rd is an emotional and romantically idealistic one, and you could fall for someone quite quickly during these days, as everything about them seems perfect!  Creatively, you will be at your best, so use this highly artistic energy to discuss new plans and projects.  Lilith also leaves your sign on the 28th for pastures new, and emotionally you should begin to feel a little calmer as February approaches.

The Sun will be making his way through your house of friendships for the first three weeks of the month, and this is a time for taking charge in your social group and letting friends know what you want.  You may find you are called upon more for your advice now, or to arrange group outings and activities.  With Saturn and Pluto in their final meet-up here before they part ways at the end of the month, attending to the needs of others is likely to be a focus, although a potent lunar eclipse on the 10th diverts your attention back to your own priorities, as you think about what you want from your personal life this year and how you want to spend your leisure time.  The Moon opposes Mercury and Saturn here, hence mid-month could be a tricky period of balancing your own desires with the plans of friends.  

Some powerful psychic vibrations surround the new Moon of the 24th, making this a poignant time for spiritual learning.  It’s also a low energy time, and you could easily feel irritable or impatient with those who place too many demands on you, so don’t try too hard at your interactions;  take some alone time to recharge and live in the moment.  Uranus could cause some friction here which might lead to disagreements, as unpredictable emotions and energy levels create unexpected tension in your dealings with loved ones.  These disputes will be short-lived, ending as quickly as they began, so try not to dwell on words said in haste. Uranus does at least provide us with some positive news, turning direct in your communication sector on the 11th, and as the month speeds on you should find it much easier to converse with others without creating misunderstandings or controversy.   

Career aims are back in focus in January, as masterful Mars takes charge of goals and aspirations in working life after the 4th. Mars will drive you to success with his sheer dynamism and determination, so this is a good time to look at what you want to achieve right now in your work.  The atmosphere among colleagues could be more competitive than usual now, as everyone seems to be competing for the top prizes, but you have all the skills you need to achieve what you want.  Mars and Venus square up to one another after the 17th, a connection which may cause some creative differences, and the atmosphere will be an emotionally sensitive one.  Act with discretion and you can’t go far wrong!  Enjoy your month!
