January 2020 Horoscope

Welcome to the new year and a new decade. These are exciting times! In recent months, the stars have been aligning to create this essential time to begin a new journey, put your life’s plan into action, and make dreams come true. January’s energy provides a time of culmination. The groundwork is laid, the homework is done, so now is your time. Making dreams come true will require hard work this year, but the alignments in January are particularly clear for you to make significant progress without obstacles that you might encounter later on. Eclipses play an important role in your cosmic path. They ignite change and facilitate shifts in direction and momentum. The solar eclipse at the end of December brought new information and illuminated new paths. The lunar eclipse on Jan. 10 will raise the energy of these new choices. It is time to listen to your inner wisdom and take a step onto a higher path.
