January 2012 Overview Horoscopes
The following are short overview
horoscopes for an upcoming month, written by Annie for Essential
Magazine. For our detailed January monthly horoscopes, see
Monthly Horoscopes from
January 1.
Notes/Overview: In January 2012, Mars will retrograde in Virgo on January 23rd, 2012, at
23 degrees of the sign, and turn direct again April 13th, 2012, at 3 degrees
Virgo. With this retrograde, Mars will stay in Virgo for an unusually
long time, until July 3rd, 2012. This points to much enthusiasm and energy for
work for Aries and Sagittarius, and to some degree, Leo. However, these signs
should watch that they don't take too much on their plates because it can get
complicated later when Mars retrogrades. Same goes for Virgo in general, and
overexertion can be an issue. The Mars retrograde period will affect other signs
more on a relationship level - Scorpio, with friends and associates, Pisces,
with partners, and Taurus, with lovers or children; on a mental level for
Cancer and Capricorn; and on an emotional/primal level for Aquarius, Gemini, and
Libra.
A Full Moon occurs at 18 Cancer on the 9th, and a New Moon
occurs at 2 Aquarius on the 23rd.
Aries
You begin the year in fine form, dear Aries, with an attitude that says you're
ready to take care of business. Emotionally, you're sufficiently detached to be
able to handle your work, and yet friendly and sociable. Home and family demand
your undivided attention around the Full Moon on the 9th. The 12-14th are
exceptionally strong days for business and personal magnetism. From the 23rd forward,
your social life tends to take precedence, and you may need to reassess some of
your recent work projects and efforts.
Taurus
Travel, if it can be managed, would be especially rewarding now, dear Taurus, as
your hunger for adventure is strong. Nevertheless, emotionally, you're much more
settled than you were in December. You begin 2012 with lucky Jupiter in your
sign, and while you're no stranger to this energy that began last June, its
forward motion this month can bring a stronger, more confident manner. Hiccups
in a romantic relationship, with children, or with creative projects might be
experienced in the last week of the month. It's time to do some backtracking and
reassessment of how to better approach these matters.
Gemini
You're in a planning and dreaming stage this month, dear Gemini.
It's a time for reassessing your goals and formulating new ones. Midway through
2012, you'll be raring to go, but for now, life is more about getting in touch
with where you are headed! Getting serious about your finances is necessary and
valuable on the 12-16th, when your instincts for what needs to be done are on
the mark. You're especially able to magnetize positive things your way on a professional
level. However, home life requires more of your attention this month.
Cancer
Close relationships receive top billing this month, dear Cancer, and you are at
your most accommodating and attentive. Strong focus is on your social life and a
significant relationship. A personal revelation or relationship drama can occur
around the 9th when the Moon is Full in your sign, and the outcome can be quite
positive. Career efforts are strong, but by the last week of the month, you
could be second-guessing some of the recent projects you've taken on. You begin
2012 feeling strengthened by your friendships and connections.
Leo
The year
begins with strong energy and heightened intelligence for work, health, and
fitness routines, dear Leo. It's a good time for organizing your home and your
finances. Financial matters can become a little sticky starting in the last week
of January, so it's a good idea to get on top of your budget before then. Love
matters are excellent this month - you're in fine form for attracting or
strengthening a relationship. Turning a hobby into a career is possible this
month. In 2012, you continue to strengthen your professional reputation, and
later, branch out by making strong connections.
Virgo
You begin the new year feeling energetic and on top of your game, dear Virgo.
Educational matters are strong, you're feeling supported, and domestic matters
are hectic but running well. You're likely making all sorts of plans for
personal projects, and you are especially attentive to your physical appearance
and health. Motivation and enthusiasm may take a bit of a nosedive in the last
week of January, however, when you could be questioning your recent choices and
reassessing your goals. Try not to make new commitments until you are certain
you have a handle on current ones.
Libra
You begin the year with much going on with family and around the home, dear
Libra. You're making new connections in January, but you are also reconnecting
with people from your past. This trend continues into the next few months.
Listen to your intuition about a creative project on the 12-14, when you can
have good ideas about how to turn a profit. It's also a good period for romantic
relations. In the last week of January, some revisions in a close partnership
may need to be made. Energy levels are not at their best this month, so pay
attention to your body's signals for more rest.
Scorpio
Errands, paperwork, making connections, and reaching out are in high focus as
the year begins for you, dear Scorpio. A close partnership can feel easy and
secure, and romantic matters are strong from the 14th. A burst of confidence is with you
from the 12th. Your powers of persuasion run high. Try to avoid scattering your energy,
and you'll do well. Some confusion or stalling is likely, however, in your work
or daily routines from the last week of January. There can also be some
backtracking and revisiting old issues required in a friendship at this time.
Sagittarius
The year 2012 is likely to open up doors for you in your work and with
relationships, dear Sagittarius.
You begin the year with strong financial ideas and plans. Good news comes your way
from the 9-13th. Some
backtracking in romance and career is likely to distract you
somewhat in the last week of January, however. There can be some grudges to deal
with. Avoid coming on too strong in your work environment. The month ends on a
busy note, with plenty to do but much help from friends as well.
Capricorn
January can be a personally influential month for you, dear Capricorn. The year
ahead brings strong opportunities for both work and play. A partner can have
important revelations around the 9th - a time when something about yourself or
your personal plans might also come to light. Professional and financial matters
are especially strong from the 12-14th. There may be a need to rework projects
around the home or legal matters in the last week of the month. However, it's
better to rethink plans rather than push them ahead at this time.
Aquarius
The year begins charmingly for you, dear Aquarius, with a nice balance of work
and pleasure in your forecast. The first few weeks of January are typically
private ones for you. However you are starting this year with quite a bit of
attention. You are certainly never short of admirers! The 12-13th are
particularly strong days for your powers of attraction. 2012 is a year of
discovery and excitement, although you are likely to begin really feeling this
forward-looking energy from June onwards. Now is the time to build your
strength, sense of security, and confidence.
Pisces
The year begins on a good note, dear Pisces, with friendly energy and benefits
through your connections. Friends and lovers can have exciting news around the
Full Moon on the 9th. On the 12-14th, something from your past or something that
was previously hidden, such as a good deed, comes to light and brings you
benefits. Support from others is forthcoming in January. This is a strong month for presenting ideas, networking,
and group endeavors. Financial and partnership matters may require revision
starting in the last week of January, however.
