If Your Birthday is Jan. 15
(The Day of Heroic Inevitability) | Capricorn Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Tell someone what you’re thinking of. Sure, you might raise an eyebrow or two, because the idea you’ve discovered could bring about significant cultural change or a deviation from the perceived norm, and that might seem too risky for some. Nevertheless, you’re on to something, and you also know how best to articulate it. So go ahead and do just that.
Written in the Planets
Mercury retrograde ended a few days ago (on Jan. 8), though it’s still working itself through what’s called the second shadow phase. It takes some adjustment to get used to the ‘new’ quality of Mercury once it’s changed directions, so give this a little time. Be patient as you work out the details of things that seemed to be stuck. Notice whether issues you were concerned about a month ago still matter to you today. Notice whether things that seemed to be broken still are broken. Mercury won’t enter new territory until Friday Jan. 27. Until then we’ll see lots of things come out in the wash — in the public and private spheres. But the big event is on Jan. 29, when Mercury makes the conjunction to Pluto that it almost made right before it went retrograde. That is a moment of revelation.
