Between January 17-20, the Sun will take us on a gentle roller coaster ride, shining its light upon three exciting planets before finally moving into a new sign. This won't be a scary, loop-de-loop ride, but rather an enjoyable trip - with a few ups and downs thrown in to remind us that life is still chugging along with all its challenges and rewards.
But is it possible to manage something extraordinary during this time? You bet it is!
The first spotlight from the Capricorn Sun will light up Uranus in Pisces on January 17. The effects may not be obvious, but if you pay attention, you'll find that a new opportunity will subtly present itself. Reach out and grab it the second you recognize it! Gambles are common with Uranus, and while this transit is no exception, don't let any risks stop you - Uranus is here to keep you on your toes, since that's the only way you can move forward! Grasp this opportunity to help ensure that your future remains fresh and vital.
The full Moon in Cancer will move into the light on January 19, when you'll find yourself caught between a rock and a hard place. On one side, you have an emotional Cancer Moon; on the other side sits the stern, practical Capricorn Sun. What you want to do will be at odds with what you ought to do, but this doesn't mean you have to choose one or the other. Rather, the full Moon wants you to find a balance. If all goes well, things will begin bumpily before ending on a beautiful plateau once you figure out how to embody the best of both worlds.
Overnight and into January 20, the Sun will shower Jupiter with its rays, filling you with a warm glow of satisfaction. Jupiter loves to make you feel good about yourself. You may be tempted to just bask in the charming laziness of the day, but if you put forth a little effort and muster some self-discipline, the benefits of this planetary meeting can last a lot longer.
Finally, January 20 will also see the Sun transitioning from Capricorn to Aquarius, where it will reside for the next four weeks. The general mood during this time will be innovative, curious, creative and sometimes stubborn. But since Aquarius is a tolerant sign, it will be possible to work together toward major accomplishments; in fact, group activities are encouraged! Spend time with friends who share your outlook, or join a new group offering similar activities to those you enjoy - whether it's a book club, running team or political group, you need to connect with others and make a difference.
The Sun's transits over these next few days aren't anything extreme, nor will you face any major obstacles or successes as a result. Rather, you will experience a perfect 'slice of life,' with all the normal peaks and valleys that come with being human..

Jan 2011
January blasts its way through the trials and tribulations of the past month to kick off the New Year with activity and optimism.
2011 starts off with a solar eclipse in Capricorn, as well as a Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, both happening on January 4th. The solar eclipse may seem a bit startling initially because there's a good chance some sort of parting of ways will occur. Keep in mind that the effects of solar eclipses can take some time to finalize, so what starts out as a separation will end, eventually, with a coming together. The final result will be a partnership much stronger and more enjoyable than anything you had before. Don't be surprised if you feel a bit restless the day before and of the eclipse - this is just another opportunity for you to focus on a particular project and see how much you can accomplish.
Jupiter and Uranus have been travelling together since May, and the conjunction on the 4th is the last time they'll come this close together for 13 years. Jupiter is the planet of luck and optimism, while Uranus represents inventiveness and creativity. As the two join forces for this last round, you can expect positive surprises, especially those beneficial surprises that bring a sense of relief to some aspect of your life.
A few days later, things could get a touch more dramatic as Venus saunters from sultry Scorpio into adventurous Sagittarius on the 7th. For those seeking serious drama, this could be your chance to turn a friend into a lover. If you like to keep things more low key, but still want to take advantage of these energies, try throwing an exotically themed party. There's nothing like a beach party in the middle of winter to help ease cabin fever!
Meanwhile, Saturn, ever the spoilsport, may try to dampen the fun as it moves into a square with the sun on the same day. This influence will be short-lived, so just be sure to double-check every detail as often as possible, and you won't experience too many problems.
Then the universe is back in full swing and full of energy from January 11th through the 19th, as Mars, the Sun and Mercury frolic and dance with Jupiter and Uranus. You couldn't ask for a better time to have an adventure. On the 15th, Mars will move into Aquarius, followed by the Sun on the 20th. Be prepared to deal with some obstinacy and hard-headedness - this is not the best time for compromise. On the other hand, Aquarius, known for creativity and inventiveness, will force Mars to provide you with an excellent opportunity for incredible innovation.
It's a full month so far, but January's big astro-news is Jupiter's leap from Pisces to Aries on the 22nd, where it will remain until mid June. Jupiter's move will help bring about an attitude that is upfront, confident and filled with enthusiasm. Jupiter in Aries is the ultimate motivator. You might be inclined to be a bit headstrong, or to leap before you look, or to take things a bit too far. But remember to always take a deep breath and a moment to consider your actions. The impulsive optimism of these months mixed with a hint of responsibility will garner some pretty impressive results.
