There’s a lot going on in this final week of January. On the 27th, Mercury moves into Aquarius, offering the collective unconventional ideas, plans for change and ways to rally each other and fight for a better world. This comes just before the Aquarius new moon on the 29th, an excellent time for new beginnings. It also happens to be Lunar New Year — welcome to the year of the snake!

Finally, Uranus goes direct in Taurus on the 30th. With this planet of innovation, revolution and unexpected change moving forward again, it’s time to revisit something you began in the summer and see it through. Be with loved ones this week, don’t be stubborn and stay warm, stars.

Love,

A Pisces sun, Aries moon, Taurus rising

Aries (March 21 – April 19):

With Uranus direct in your financial sector, it’s time to revisit money moves you shelved during the summer. Don’t shy away from unconventional strategies around saving, budgeting or making money. The new moon invites you to embrace your social butterfly this week; maybe you’ll find inspiration in your peers, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20):

After spending time hiding away at the beginning of January, the new moon is nudging you to step out of your comfort zone and connect with new people. With Uranus direct in your sign, you’ll begin to feel more secure, intuitive and confident. Growth happens when you’re open, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20):

If you’ve been struggling to own any difficult emotions popping up, this is the week to lean into practices or beliefs that feel aligned, even if they’re unconventional. Release your energy and emotions through crafts, music, art, exercise, etc. Whatever you do, do it with your heart, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22):

The Aquarius new moon is your sign to refresh your self care game — think new skincare rituals, a different haircut or even just more rest. Uranus direct brings surprises through friends or community ties, so you need all the pampering you can get. Pay attention to who’s showing up for you, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22):

The spotlight shifts to partnerships this week, with the new moon highlighting your need for connection. This isn’t always social or romantic, though, as Uranus direct in your career zone could bring unexpected breakthroughs at work. Teamwork makes the dream work, Leo.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22):

The new moon sparks inspiration to fine-tune your routines or try something new in your wellness practice. This could manifest as the urge to get your life together at 3 a.m., or it could be the impact of a simple TikTok that shifts your outlook on feng shui. Follow the breadcrumbs of curiosity, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22):

Syllabus week is over, and you might be extra susceptible to the stress. Take time to channel your frustrations into fun. The Aquarius new moon is perfect for a fresh start in your hobbies or love life while Uranus direct stirs up transformative energy in your intimacy zone. The more nourished and grounded you feel, the more capable you are of productively pushing the envelope, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21):

With Uranus direct in your partnership sector, relationships may take a surprising turn this week. Whatever happens, the new moon calls you to slow down and focus on your home base. Whether you stress clean your bedroom or just spend time with your roommates, grounding yourself is key. Take it easy, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21):

This week’s new moon fires up your communication skills while Uranus direct brings shifts in your daily routine. Flexibility will keep you grounded as you explore new opportunities, so send that text, write that paper or upload that podcast. Don’t resist change, Sag.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19):

Life isn’t all work; the new moon is bringing clarity around what makes you feel secure. This could be physical things like money, but it is more likely your ego and emotions. Whatever it’s about for you, revisiting a hobby or passion you’ve pushed aside might help. Loosen up, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18):

Happy solar return! This entire season — and especially the new moon — in your sign is all about fresh starts. It’s time to dream big and set intentions for your next chapter. With Uranus going direct in your home sector, expect shifts in your personal life or living situation that you began in the summer. Trust the process, Aquarius. Change is your best friend.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20):

Your third eye is wide open, your mind is alive, and now with Uranus direct, you’re able to share your ideas more smoothly. Reflect and recharge over the new moon before debuting your new social media personality or firing off that work email. Proceed gently, Pisces.
