The month opens with communication planet Mercury meeting with your ruling planet Jupiter in Capricorn on January 2, which bodes well for your social life. An exciting new beginning is here—you’re sharing big ideas about the future and being introduced to inspiring people! Action planet Mars enters fire sign Sagittarius on January 3, revving up the sector of your chart that rules fame and fortune, bringing you a big boost in energy around your career, and helping you be strong and confident in the spotlight. The sun connects with your other ruling planet, Neptune, which is currently in your sign, on January 7, and Mercury in Capricorn does the same on January 8, finding you coming into contact with creative people. Neptune is a spiritual planet, and this is a great time to be charitable and connect with a community that shares your beliefs, or to connect with people who are passionate about the same causes.
2020 opens with some serious planetary alignments, which are some of the heaviest of the year: A lunar eclipse in fellow water sign Cancer lands on January 10, which coincides with the sun meeting Mercury, and Uranus ending its retrograde in Taurus. Two days later, Mercury, Saturn, and Pluto align on January 12. Eclipses are exhausting, emotional, and dramatic—this one in particular will kick up issues in your social life, your love life, and your creative collaborations. You’re letting go of something, or someone, that was close to your heart, but new space is being made in your life for deeper, more profound connections, dear Pisces.
Eclipses have a destined feeling about them, so you might feel like you’ve connected with a soul mate; however, eclipses also pull us away from situations that are no longer serving our highest good, and saying goodbye can be hard—even if that’s what you’re meant to be doing. The sun’s meeting with Mercury on January 10 brings an important perspective on your social life and finds you dreaming up new plans for the future, while Uranus’s shift in direction brings unexpected news your way, but may also find you feeling jittery (lay off the coffee, and cut down on screen time so you can give your mind a rest). Deeper love and richer creativity is coming, but you have to be gentle with yourself and take good care of your body at this time. The architecture of your social life undergoes a total renovation as Saturn and Pluto meet, and friends or acquaintances who don’t live up to your values or standards will be outed. It’s time to team up with more responsible people! Work you’ve been doing in your community is also a major theme at this time as you seek to bring justice to causes you’re passionate about.
The sun, Pluto, and Saturn align on January 13, helping you integrate the changes taking place this month and find a sense of wholeness, despite the feelings of jealousy or inadequacy that may be in the atmosphere. The key to working with this energy is to feel the feelings, not repress them! So find trusted friends you can vent to, make time to dance, or do whatever it takes to stay present in your body. Fortunately, darling Venus enters your sign, Pisces, on January 13, finding you feeling sexy, connected, and valued. Venus in Pisces is all about fantasy and romance—two things you love! Venus in your sign finds you more flirtatious than usual and makes it easy for you to confidently attract others. People are especially into your vibe right now! Unexpected good news and a dash of fun arrives on January 15 as Venus mingles with Uranus: Something unexpected and cute may take place in your neighborhood, or you could receive a surprising message.
Another shift in energy takes place as messenger planet Mercury enters Aquarius on January 16, bringing a big boost to your already strong intuition. Two days later, unexpected secrets are shared as Mercury clashes with Uranus on January 18. Pay attention to the messages that come in your dreams and during your meditations at this time. An amazing solution to a problem might be right under your nose!
The sun enters Aquarius on January 20, encouraging you to slow down and catch up on rest and quality time alone. January 23 brings a shake-up as the sun clashes with Uranus, finding you itching to ditch a restrictive plan. You’re seeking freedom and space at this time, but Venus also connects with lucky Jupiter on January 23, which does bode well for romance and for being well-received by others. Ultimately, to make the most of this cosmic energy—and to have happy relationships!—bringing joy and generosity is just as important as getting and giving space. A balance of the two creates harmony and keeps things fresh. Catch up on rest and be alone with your feelings during the new moon in Aquarius on January 24, but keep in mind that this is also a brilliant time to release the past.
Conversations pick up as Mercury connects with Mars on January 25, and passion is in the air as Venus clashes with Mars on January 26. You’re often a private person, Pisces, but this is an exciting time to step into the spotlight. Your psychic abilities are also boosted! One of the most romantic days this month is January 27, when Venus meets Neptune. Venus is all about love, and Neptune is the planet of fantasy, making this an especially whimsical moment! People are finding you completely dreamy at this time—this could be a fun opportunity to experiment with your style and cast spells for abundance. In your love life, a gentle, empathetic energy flows! But watch out for lazy or even shady behavior on January 28 when Mars clashes with Neptune—be smart about what you share with the public on this day. Good luck this month, Pisces, and see you in February!
