If Your Birthday is Jan. 7
(The Day of Unusual Interests) | Capricorn Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
It’s possible you’re becoming aware of a situation or object that is ripe for change. If that’s the case, you’ll want to carefully consider what needs to be done, and take things slowly. While this urge to evolve or repair something might not seem especially ‘profound’, anything that helps you get under the surface fits the theme. As long as this action is self-directed and is not about someone’s ego, you’ll likely appreciate where it takes you.
Written in the Planets
“Stop, look and listen” is advice every child learns when being taught how to cross the street safely. Yet it applies to adults, too — even more so when Mercury is preparing to station direct (which it does tomorrow). Today you’ll want to really pause your action, truly register what you’re looking at, and listen both to what is being said and to what is left unsaid. It’s okay to ask questions to be sure you’re on the same page as others. Today’s Sun-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn is another element urging you to get fully involved in whatever you engage with. How can you move it toward its next stage? What new understanding of its (or your) growth cycle is becoming clear? Juno in Sagittarius square Chiron in Pisces asks: What do you believe you need for your next step in healing, and how do you need to express that?
