Hi Libra! Saturn is slowing down in your sign in January,
as he prepares to turn retrograde early next month, so this could be a rather
sombre start to the new year for you! Everyone feels a bit fed up at this time
of year, with Christmas over and the long winter nights still stretching out in
front of us, but poor Librans will probably feel especially gloomy at this time,
as Saturn makes it hard to feel joyous about anything at all! If you were born
around the 20th to 24th of October this transit will hit you hardest of all,
because Saturn will be lingering over your natal Sun now until March. It’s time
to think about yourself and what you can do to nourish that beautiful soul, the
rest of the world will have to take care of itself for a while. Remember that
your energy levels will be rather low too, and certain ailments may trouble you
more than usual, such as skin complaints, problems with your hair, teeth or
bones, and joint pain.
Pluto conjuncts Mercury in your domestic area between the
9th and 15th of the month, and this could blow a family secret wide open for all
to see! Be prepared for some home truths, as honesty and delving deep into the
past to unearth the facts, all become prominent features of your family life. In
fact, you could become rather obsessive about finding the truth, and this could
result in unfounded suspicion or assumptions about innocent parties. Be sure
before you make any accusations that you have all the information. This is a
wonderful time for researching your family tree, or talking about subjects which
others find difficult or controversial. Your sixth sense will also be powerful
because of your natural ability to sense what is hidden below the surface, so
pay attention to what your instincts tell you.
Financial strains will revolve around leisure activities
this month, with the days after the 21st being the most challenging. Partners
won’t help, they will be impulsive and will want to be free to make their own
choices, and it will be difficult to stay in control of your outgoings. The new
Moon on the 23rd will provide you with an opportunity to try out a new pastime,
see a show or attend a concert, but this will be a very expensive treat. If you
are planning a day out at the races or visiting a casino, it won’t be a very
lucky period, so be cautious about splashing out too much on what looks like a
dead cert, it will be bad news for your wallet! You could also meet someone new
and exciting around this time if you are looking for love, and they will be
interesting with lots to say, but getting to the next level of intimacy with
them will be an arduous process, as you discover there’s not a lot more to
entice you once you get past that sparkly smile!
Some soul-searching is necessary over your career this
month, as the full Moon on the 9th brings an end to a project in your working
life. Now this is over, you may feel a bit lost, so you need to regroup and work
out what you want to do next. The Moon’s nodes will be causing trouble around
your every day work after the 22nd, too, so expect disruption and arguments with
colleagues. Start 2012 with a new approach to your work, and go for what you
want, instead of sticking with what you know! Have a wonderful January!
