2018 January Horoscopes

Happy New Year! After some frustrating computer problems I can at last post the first horoscopes of 2018 :) January is a month where emotions run deep, and transformation and change feels inevitable. It's a powerful start to the year...

Aries
21st March – 20th April
The supermoon on 2nd lights up your home and family chart. It’s about balancing comfort zones with long-term ambition. Your ruler, mighty Mars, meets expansive Jupiter around 9th, for a mega-powerful time of healing, renewal, opportunity, and inspired action. Planets are also gathering strength in your career, status and reputation chart, which means you are too, especially 6th, 9th, 13th, and new moon time on 17th, which is all about new steps to success. After 20th the focus shifts to friends, groups, gatherings and teamwork, and the full moon eclipse on 30th is about the emotional bonds you make. It’s also a blue moon, so events might feel rare or unusual at that time.


Taurus
21st April – 21st May
The supermoon on 2nd is all about communication, information, new beliefs and perspectives. Planets are gathering in your travel and education chart, which means new vistas and visas for mind, body and soul are underway, and the new moon on 17th is very much about the first steps of a new journey. A spectacular meeting involving Mars and Jupiter, is active much of the month (most intense around 8th or 9th), in your relationship chart, which indicates very powerful partnership experiences, whether romance, business, or friendship. Then a full eclipse on the 30th, which is also a blue moon, indicates home and family matters have your full attention.


Gemini
22nd May – 21st June
It’s a powerful beginning to 2018. A supermoon on the 2nd spotlights income and resources, and sets the tone for the whole month and beyond. Also, planets are gathering in your chart of transformation, regeneration and renewal, and it’s all about building trust by not needing to control the uncontrollable. This is easier than you think, especially around 7th, as daily schedules, occupation, health and fitness all fill you with faith and renewed sense of purpose (with memories of early December somehow too). New moon on 17th is about new commitment and structure for deepest relationships, then from 20th it’s all about travel, education, and new perspectives. Then a full moon eclipse on 30th means events are having long-term impact now.


Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July
Lots of lunar activity means it’s a big month for you. A Supermoon in your sign (2nd) kicks off the new year with inspiration, information, and imagination. It’s all in preparation for an intensely transformative and creative period, especially up to midmonth. A new moon of new beginnings takes place in your relationship chart on 17th, which means new or renewed partnerships, and contracts and agreements are under construction all month, especially around 6th, 8th, 14th, 17th, and 24th. Then there’s an eclipse on 30th, in your chart of income and resources. It’s also a blue moon, and yes, that means rare or unusual happenings are afoot.


Leo
23rd July – 23rd August
A cosy comfort zone full moon on the 2nd is about a little quiet retreat and reflection, in readiness for the full steam ahead vibes that are building from early January. Home and family matters become busy, intense, and involve long-term plans and expansion. It’s a great month to be working from home or working on your home, and the new moon on 17th suggests new commitments and responsibility for daily life and occupation; and for health and wellbeing too (new year resolutions are easy to maintain this month). After 20th the focus is very much on partnership and agreements and the relationship full moon eclipse on 30th means what matters now matters in future too.

Virgo
24th August – 22nd September
It’s one of the most creative and constructive months of 2018 for you, symbolised by the supermoon on the 2nd which matches your mood to get working on some long-term plans you’ve been pondering for a while. Around the 7th and up to midmonth there might be memories of events early December, along with some intensely productive communication and dialogue. New moon on 17th is about new responsibilities, and maybe more pressure too, but this is something you’re taking in your stride right now. After 20th you’re focusing on streamlining your day, and a powerful, spiritual full moon eclipse on 30th is about acting on the logic of your heart as well as your head.


Libra

Up to midmonth there’s a powerful meeting of Jupiter and Mars in your income and resources chart, which indicates lots of activity and expansion in that area, and this links to home and family life somehow too (echoes of events early December might also be relevant). From 20th you’re focused on creativity, fun and entertainment, and the full moon eclipse on 30th is about turning points in friendships.

24th October – 22nd November
2018 starts powerfully, with a supermoon on 2nd, and Jupiter and Mars meeting in your sign all second week (strongest around 8th).
