Welcome to 2020 and the start of a new decade. January is a time for resting and hibernating, yet we are always told to set our intentions and goals at new year, and then we are mostly disappointed when we don't achieve them, so instead use January for planning, clearing and letting go and wait until Spring to set those intentions! January will be an interesting month when we have the Pluto and Saturn conjunction occurring in the sign of Capricorn on the 12th. This happens about every 34 years, the last time was November 1982. Saturn is the planet of staying power and caution, Pluto is all about transformation, joined together they can give you determination to get over disappointment and start afresh, or you may feel the rug pulled from beneath you, but this could be for your highest good. This comes just after a Lunar eclipse in the opposite sign of Cancer on the 10th, which will pretty much be opposite this massive conjunction. Change is definitely on the horizon, and new partnerships could be formed...and yes the Brexit saga will be in the limelight, I will be very surprised if we do not hear any news on this around then. There may be debates, protests and propaganda. They could be big changes going on in your workplace too, especially if you work for a large business.

Anyone born around the 23rd-26th April or of fixed signs- at these dates Aquarius, Leo and Scorpio, have had Uranus in aspect to their sun for the last 18 months, the next 6 month will be very important as for the 5th time will make an exact conjunction or square. For me a Taurus, this has caused havoc with my nervous system and health, for others it could be anything form work to relationships to health issues so be aware.

Our first full moon on the year starts off with an eclipse in the sign of Cancer, and interestingly we end 2020 with a Cancer full moon too. Which indicates that this year there will be a rise of feminine and nurturing power.
