Monthly Horoscopes Aquarius

By Pink

(January 20 - February 18)

Dream your way into 2017, Aquarius. Your year could get off to an ethereal start, as the Sun winds its way through Capricorn and your hazy twelfth house until January 19. As others are racing their way out of the starting gate, you've got cosmic permission to take it nice and slow. Resolutions and ambitious planning can wait. Catch up on lost sleep, process any lingering emotions, and take plenty of time for self-care. This is your annual hibernation period, just before your birthday season, so use this time to reflect on the last 12 months. Catalogue what went right—and what didn’t. The twelfth house rules forgiveness and closure, so if holiday tensions flared, make amends and extend olive branches where necessary.

MONEY & CAREER:

Step on the gas; hit the brakes. That’s how January could feel for the first three weeks, while the Sun loiters in Capricorn and your sleepy twelfth house until January 19. While part of you wants to remain in this waking dream, the demands are piling up fast at work. Speedy and motivational Mars is in Pisces and your second house of money and security until January 28, so the year is already off to a hectic start…if you can get a break at all. Bills and career demands could stress you out, but Mars is pushing you to make some real changes to the way you spend, save and plan. Know thy worth, Aquarius! Prioritizing will be essential, so say a firm “no” to anything that doesn’t pay off well in the long run.

LOVE & ROMANCE:

Give your nomadic ways a rest for now. This month, both love planets, Mars and Venus, are firmly rooted in Pisces and your stabilizing second house. Your sign can be whimsical, and commitment-averse, so this cosmic turn is balancing and grounding for love. Coupled Aquarians should focus a little less on all the unexplored possibilities and work on enjoying what you have right now, in this moment. Since the second house is associated with self-worth, both single and attached Water Bearers will get a little cosmic reminder to bring that swagger back.

Pisces Monthly Horoscope

February 19 - March 20

The inaugural month of 2017 kicks off with a festive bang, as the Sun in Capricorn revs up your eleventh house of socializing, friendships and group activity until January 19. Sure, the mistletoe is put away and the eggnog has expired, but that won't stop you from seeking out like-minded and light-hearted companions now. Bonus: With fierce and energizing Mars in your sign until January 28, there’s no stopping you once you've set your mind on a few personal goals, either!

This fresh-start feeling is not without some speed bumps, however, as communication planet Mercury is finishing up a signal-scrambling retrograde cycle that ends January 8. Since December 19, the fleet-footed messenger planet may have brought about misunderstandings with friends and colleagues, and maybe even travel or technology snafus.

Drama alert! All's not quiet on the 2017 front, as the January 12 Cancer full moon sweeps into your expressive and flamboyant fifth house. Passionate feelings could erupt, shattering any sense of calm and throwing a curveball your way. While the Cancer full moon in this lusty zone might bring a romantic boon or a creative breakthrough, it is also locked into a Grand Cross (four-way showdown) with outspoken Jupiter, disruptor Uranus and the ego-driven Sun. Later this month you'll want to power down until your birthday, as the Sun slips into Aquarius and your sleepy twelfth house on January 19. For the next four weeks, slow your roll and lighten up your social calendar and other obligations. This go-with-the-flow vibe suits your dreamy sign. Stay in and light some candles; read a great book and queue up your favorite winter playlists. Let your mind drift

LOVE & ROMANCE:

It's a refreshingly romantic start to the new year with both love planets—sensual Venus and sultry Mars—in your sign for most of the month! Alluring Venus is in your sign, casting fairy dust around your first house of self and appearance, from January 3-February 3. Get flirty and frisky—you've got seductive, siren-like powers now. Many admirers, new and old alike, are taking notice of your irresistible charm. Beautifying Venus could also inspire a 2017 makeover, so try out a new haircut or color, or break out of a style rut by wearing different patterns and hues than you typically reach for. At the end of the day, every self-respecting Fish should know how to stand up for themselves—but it takes practice. Now’s your chance! Mars only visits your sign every two years, so seize the opportunity to be extra bold and gutsy. In short: You’re hot, Pisces. Go get some.

MONEY & CAREER:

Do you, Pisces. Go-getter Mars is in your sign until January 28, starting your year off on a strong note—especially once communication planet Mercury ends a chaotic retrograde (backward) cycle on January 8. Put yourself out there in a big way. What personal projects have you put on the back-burner? The time is NOW to make it all happen. You have supreme mojo to make stellar connections, especially while Sun is in Capricorn, your eleventh house of networking, until January 19. Stock up on business cards and do more self-promotion. From January 28-March 9, motivator Mars moves into Aries, heating up your second house of work and money. Finances are in the forefront, and you’re revved up to create some serious prosperity. Since Mars can add stress, however, you might be under some extra pressure to meet your deadlines. But, mojo-revving Mars here give you the drive to #slay any tension that may arise. Your motivation will help you handle job- and coworker-related stress with pose. Be practical and savvy, and you'll go a lot farther now.
