Literally everything is changing in your life. E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G! There’s a lot going on in your zodiac sign rn. And there’s a reason why you’re here right now, reading this horoscope and becoming increasingly aware of your realities. You are destined to do important things, and now is the time to make it happen!

First up, a Lunar Eclipse in Cancer on January 10 continues the Cancer-Capricorn narrative that began way back in July 2018. You’re experiencing transformation in nearly every area of life, but now, all eyes are on your relationships. Whether you’re in the process of a breakup, makeup, or something in between, you’re realizing that your needs are changing rapidly. What you were once attracted to is no longer serving your soul, and it’s okay to act on that truth. Remember, you cannot have a healthy and happy partnership if you’re not being honest with yourself: At this moment, transparency is key.

Ready for more? Of course you are, Capricorn babe! Just two days later, on January 12, Saturn (your planetary ruler) links up with Pluto in your own sign. These two celestial bodies have not connected in Capricorn since 1518 (yes—you read that correctly, it’s been 500 years), and the last time they connected in general (in the sign of Libra) was 38 years ago, in 1982. So, not only is their union in your own zodiac sign basically a once-in-a-lifetime event, but it also kicks off a brand new cycle defined by identity and transformation.

Over the next few weeks, you may discover that you’re moving in an entirely different direction that you anticipated. Perhaps you’re tapping into a part of your person that you didn’t even know existed. I know it can be overwhelming, Cap, but stay strong. Change isn’t always easy, but trust that it’s happening for a reason.

Things finally get a liiittle less intense on January 20, when the Sun pivots out of your sign and into Aquarius. This new astrological energy is encouraging you to assess your finances to prepare a 2020 budget. If you went a little too hard during your birthday season, this is an excellent time to get back on track with your goal$.

Finally, on January 24, a New Moon in Aquarius will blanket the sky. After a million eclipses, this gentle lunation will feel stabilizing, helping you connect with your emotions. As a Capricorn, you put a lot of attention on your finances, so you often project your anxieties onto your bank account. During this New Moon, practice the art of accepting exactly where you are. You have enough, you are abundant, and you are worthy. Sure, you can always have more, but trust that things can change in a moment. Prosperous thinking creates wealth, so dream big, bb. You deserve to have it all.
