On this New Year’s Eve…. I wish you all a magical New Year filled with happiness and joy. As we step into a New Year and a New Decade may many blessings come your way…. ❤ ❤ ❤
A sneak peek into January 2020… January 2020 is a power month and sets the stage for what’s to come, not just for the year ahead but the decade ahead too.
The vibe & energy of January is about awakenings on all levels and this is kickstarted with a potent Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on January 10th in the sign of Cancer.
Cancer missed out on a Full Moon falling in her sign in 2019, which means that this Eclipse is not going to go by unnoticed! She’s ramping it up, how dare the crab Goddess miss out on her Full Moon turn !!
So, Cancerian energy will be super strong and waves of emotionally charged emotions will be on offer in order to inspire us to release, shed our skins, transform and let go.
On a Lunar Eclipse, the Universe opens a portal of energy that allows it to swoop in and release something for us that we weren’t quite ready to let go of in order to keep us moving forward and accelerating higher.
While Eclipses advance our soul journey, our human selves are often left to play catch up which is why they can sometimes be a jarring experience.
All of us will feel the Cancer Lunar Eclipse energies differently, but this will be a heightened time where we will all feel called to release and let go of something.
Interestingly 2020 will bring us 6 Eclipses… We typically have four Eclipses each year- two Solar Eclipses and two Lunar Eclipses, but this year it will be six Eclipses! This won’t happen again until 2029.
What is even more interesting however, is that four of these Eclipses are Lunar Eclipses!
Having four Lunar Eclipses can be a little intense as they are usually more jarring than a Solar Eclipse. It enhances this message from the Universe that big shifts and changes are on the way. More on that later…
Following the potent Cancerian Full Moon Eclipse… on January 12th we have the long-anticipated Saturn-Pluto conjunction in the sign of Capricorn.
This alignment is extremely rare and carries life-changing, transformative energy that will play a role in shaping the entire year. In fact, the alignment of Saturn and Pluto is one of the most significant cosmic energies we will experience in our lifetime!
Saturn and Pluto aligning brings many layers to unpack… more on that later again ?
Saturn and Pluto aligning so close to the Eclipse does create a little heaviness and it is likely that whatever we are called to release is going to really shift and transform us in almost a life-changing way.
While these power days happen almost back to back, they tend to affect us on a subconscious level first, so we may have to be patient and watch to see what happens.
In fact, it may not be till the end of the year that we will really be able to make sense of what seeds and transformations were planted in this very special month of January.
To add to this energy, right in between these dates on January 11, we have Uranus going direct after being retrograde since August 11, 2019.
If we have been feeling unclear about something or uncertain, Uranus going direct will help bring some clarity. This will also be enhanced by the illuminating effects of the Eclipse too.
With all of this energy in the first few weeks of January, we may be feeling a little all over the place, upside down & totally spaced out!
These astrological energies are very strong, and this sometimes can leave us feeling a little anxious, restless, or heavy. Regardless, this crazy period will be putting us on our path and sending us forward on where we need to be!
Then on January 20th, the Sun moves out of Capricorn into the sign of Aquarius. After the strong Capricorn energy, we have experienced the last few weeks, this will feel like a burst of fresh air.
Aquarius is an air sign, so we are going to feel a little more light and airy, especially after the strong alignments that have taken place.
Following this on January 24-25th, we have the first New Moon of the year in the sign of Aquarius.
This New Moon carries the energy of change, upheaval, and may even bring more awakenings. This is because Uranus, the planet of change and awakening will be very active at this time.
Uranus shakes things in our lives in order to awaken us to a new way of being. As things shake, we can feel unsettled and uncertain, but sometimes we need this to happen in order to discover our strengths and a new way to be.
The Aquarius New Moon also marks the start of the Chinese New Year. We move out of the year of the Yin Earth Pig and into the year of the Yang Metal Rat.
According to Chinese Astrology, the Rat is the first sign in the zodiac wheel, indicating the start of a fresh cycle and a new wave of energy. (I’ll have more on this soon too 😉 ❤
Overall, January is a busy, powerful, and super-charged month and we are going to have to pay extra attention to our health and wellbeing. Protecting our energy, practicing self-care, and creating a grounding routine is going to be important.
January’s energy carries a strong sense of destiny to it, so wherever we find ourselves carries some pretty strong clues as to what our soul desires to accomplish on our journeys.
Love and Blessings for the New Year xo ❤ ❤ ❤
