Happy new year! “New” is the operative word this week, since two transits inspire two new beginnings. Up first is a New Year’s Eve moment when red planet Mars enters the first zodiac sign, Aries, followed by a solar eclipse in Capricorn on Saturday. Solar eclipses are supercharged new moons, so align your goals with Capricorn-like qualities-think discipline, responsibility, and hard work.
