To begin with, it is business as usual, yet by the end of the month, something special will be underway on both the romantic and relationship fronts, though one in a direct and the other in a more indirect way. More direct is the slow awakening on the romantic front, which instead of happening in one fell swoop, will unfold as the month progresses. It starts with Chiron, the planet of healing's direct turn in your romantic sector on 3rd January, giving you a chance to lay some old ghosts to rest and then put the past behind you. It is nine days later that the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos will turn direct on 12th January. This will awaken your inner romantic warrior and just in time, for it is just over two weeks later that Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams will return to spend the next 13 years in your romantic sector. Neptune dipped his toe in the water last year before retrograding back out again, but this time he is here to stay and next month will be joined by Saturn, who will spend the next two years giving you the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. The Moon will make its first visit to your romantic sector for the year from 24th January to 26th January, with these romantically charged lunar vibes running their course just 24 hours before Neptune's return. Meanwhile, more indirect is the boost that your relationships will get from the return of so many planets to your communication sector this month. While there are no planets in your relationship sector, with Uranus returning in April to spend the next seven days guiding your relationships in a real and authentic direction, this is a chance to first get the communication lines open. However, you do start the month with the Moon in your relationship sector until 3rd January, coming full circle with another chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware from 26th January to 28th January. This time it will be to find the Sun, Venus, Mercury and Mars, the planets of love, communication and passion all in your communication sector.
