The big picture in January is positive for technological and structural change. Changing the rules, redefining the boundaries, allowing for more space and freedom. This “reset” energy has been present since early 2025, and the story is reaching its conclusion now. The reset is almost complete. If you know your birth time, look for the houses in your birth chart where Uranus and Saturn are transiting. While this story is coming to completion, the stage is set for system updates on all the levels. Clear the remnants of the old and set the stage for a satisfying update that fits who you are today and will support that version of you for many years to come.
Meanwhile, it’s looking like a lovely week with Mars opposite Jupiter, both exalted in Capricorn and Cancer. That means we have easier access to our better angels this week. Better energy, better attitudes. With Monday and Tuesday being prime days for connection and Thursday being excellent for learning and conversation.

Compromise a little to gain a lot. As Mars and Jupiter are both exalted and have a lot of power to help one another, cooperation and cameraderie are easier to find. Balance rigidity with care. Balance excess emotion with discipline. Take wise and calculated risks.
