Want to make positive strides and feel more secure? The Sun's presence in Aquarius from today can shine a light on those issues that need attention, inspiring you to act. It's time to pour your energy into your work and improving your core finances. Have an idea to start a home business? Your industry, flair and tenacity all combine to make this the ideal time for power forwards.

The Capricorn Black New Moon late in December, carries you into January in a focused way.

By the Full Moon of Mid Month, this can all come up to a head, but if so, you may encounter some fierce resistance. Yet this can be one of those situations where tact and patience will work better than being too demanding. Mercury is going to give you a lot of help from the 8th to the end of the month. First by sharpening up the details of what you want, and then by converting your ideas into something more tangible, and as the cosmic curtain comes down, so a solution can be found.
