Welcome to the new year, Aries. You're the first sign of the zodiac, and it's the first month of the year. January brings the end of both Venus and Uranus retrograde, but you might be too busy making money moves to notice. Thankfully, you love cash, you abundant fire sign. 

There's a new moon in ambitious Capricorn on Sunday, January 2, which occurs in the career sector of your chart. Dark new moons represent fresh starts and new beginnings. Use this night to write down a list of everything you want professionally. Once you know what you want, it's easier to go after it. The first Mercury retrograde of the year begins on Friday, January 14, and goes through Thursday, February 3. This brings communication delays, brain fog, and often a distracting emergence of exes. You want to get your professional resolutions down on paper and start doing the groundwork to make them happen before Mercury begins its backward dance. 

Sorry, but no more fake friends allowed, Aries. You're too good for that. 

There's a full moon on Monday, January 17, which lights up your home and family life. Bright full moons bring manifestation. Often, they bring the intentions we set during new moons to life. Your primary focus in January is your work, but this lunation reminds you to put time and effort into your home life. Use this night to log off and have dinner with a trusted loved one. Remember, hardworking Aries; we're more productive when our personal lives are stable, so don't neglect it.

The eccentric planet Uranus goes direct on Tuesday, January 18. It's been retrograde since Thursday, August 19, 2021. Uranus retrograde tasked you with letting go of things that don't matter. This could include a group of party friends who are only around for the IG posts, a boring job, or a crappy partner. When Aquarius season begins on Wednesday, January 19, you're going to want to let your freak flag fly. Aquarius is all about being yourself. So when Uranus goes direct, and the next day the sun enters Aquarius, sorry, but no more fake friends allowed, Aries. You're too good for that. 

For you, Aries, this transit is all about work and money moves.

The fighter planet Mars enters Capricorn on Monday, January 24. For you, Aries, this transit is all about work and money moves. Mars rules how we assert ourselves, and Capricorn is the devilish sign associated with cash. So this astrological pairing could only mean one thing: You deserve all the abundance that you want, whether it's more money or a new job, and you have the skills to obtain it.

Finally, Venus retrograde ends on Saturday, January 29. It's been retrograde since Sunday, December 19, 2021. Venus is the planet of love, beauty, and money. During Venus retrograde, it can be harder to work things out in romantic relationships. Cash flow can slow down, and it's a bad time to make major changes to your appearance. But when Venus goes direct, go ahead and try that new hair color. Oh, and continue to be on the lookout for cash, Aries. See you next month.
