Happy New Year, Capricorn! It's 2021 and even though the year is just getting started, you know it's going to be the best one yet. Thanks to today's auspicious cosmos, you're ready to make something amazing! Your birthday coincides with the beginning of the year, which makes complete sense since you’re always setting personal resolutions (otherwise known as “goals”). The New Moon in your sign on January 13 aligns your external and internal truths, awarding you with an incredible opportunity to manifest your hopes and dreams. I know you’re a bit of a skeptic at times, but trust that under this enchanted sky, luck is on your side. How divine!

On January 17, generous Jupiter will link up with innovative Uranus, forming a special connection known as a “square” that last occurred in 2014. In fact, that might not be the only blast from the past. Beneath this powerful connection, romance will be front and center…but not necessarily the way you had hoped. Whether you’re hitting up an ex or simply recalling a former fling, don’t be surprised if you’re compelled to walk down memory lane. Don’t judge yourself too harshly; it’s totally fine to revisit former experiences—just keep in mind that you don’t need to sprinkle your history into the present in order to make it real. Even if it’s no longer part of your life, your history is deeply meaningful.

Your birthday season ends on January 19, when the Sun slides into Aquarius, but TBH, you’re not mad about it. You were getting a little tired of *all* that solar glare. Now you can get back to work! In fact, with the Sun now activating your financial sector, new monetary opportunities will be emerging from thin air. I know, I know—you’re already great with money. But over the next few weeks, you’ll be learning new tips and tricks on how to amplify your resources. By this time next month, your bank account will look completely different! How fabulous!

On January 28, the Full Moon in Leo helps expose exactly what needs to be improved. While this may be somewhat frustrating, it's also a wonderful invitation to initiate radical transformation. What goals can you set for the next 28-day lunar cycle? (Yes, believe it or not, Capricorn, some to-do lists take more than 24 hours to accomplish!) The world is yours, Capricorn—why not cultivate a reality that feels empowering? You got this!

But keep an eye on January 30—on this day, tricky Mercury will begin its backwards dance and you may begin to question...well, everything. Hold the phone: Is your entire life built on lies? It’s probably not as extreme as your knee-jerk reaction suggests, but when the planet of communication starts sliding in reverse, you’ll definitely be looking at things through a different lens. There may be some hard pills to swallow but, at the end of the day, a shift in perspective is always advantageous.

Happy New Year! Have some astro merch:
