(January 20-February 18)

Everyone else is pumped with New Year’s ambition, but your energy is as bright as a sputtering string of Christmas lights. Pull the covers back over your head, Aquarius. Hibernation is your celestial duty, at least for the first three weeks of January. The Sun and several planets are in Capricorn, your twelfth house of rest and healing. With communication planet Mercury retrograde (backward) here until the 15th, your thoughts are as clear as pea soup. You may be processing an old loss or clearing emotional residue. Pieces of your past need to be released, so if you’re holding onto something, let it go.

On the 19th, your solar calendar resets when the Sun enters Aquarius. You’ll perk back up, shaking off the depressive or heavy energy. Lucky Jupiter also begins its 2010 tour of Pisces, your money, work and confidence sector, on January 17th. All the more reason to rest up and clear your energetic space. This could be one of your most exciting career years in a long time, with new opportunities and possible travel for work. Your ruling planet Uranus is also in Pisces for much of the year, indicating that technology, broadcasting or a cutting-edge job could be in the offering.

Your luckiest events this month will occur on a Saturday.
