You’re booked and busy, Leo! The month kicks off in Capricorn season, leaving you very little time to yourself. You’re hopping from appointment to appointment and crossing things off your to-do list along the way. You’re also learning lessons on how to hold boundaries and protect your precious free time in the process. If there are habits you’ve wanted to change, you have the motivation to make those changes over the coming weeks, too.

You’re learning important news about work once Mercury moves into Capricorn on 1 January. Maybe you’re taking on a new project or role, or there’s a new obligation you’re taking on in your personal life. This can also bring petty and annoying news your way and ask you to set a boundary!

A Full Moon in Cancer on 3 January serves up a reality check regarding rest and self-care - or a lack thereof! This is your invitation to say no, stay at home, and catch up on rest. You might need to take a personal day or perhaps you’re feeling emotionally exhausted. You’re also more in touch with your intuition and subconscious, which can bring revelations your way. Give yourself time and space to process any endings or major realisations.

You’re feeling grateful for the important people in your life once Venus enters Aquarius on 17 January.

This energy translates into all relationships - whether it’s with a family member, business partner, lover or bestie.

A New Moon in Capricorn on 18 January helps you change your ways. If you’ve felt stuck, this gives you the motivation to shift your habits and take better care of yourself. For some, this can bring developments regarding work and, for others, this might ask you to let go of ongoing commitments that are leaving you feeling drained and under appreciated.
