A quiet but powerful energy lights up your inner world as Mars enters your sector of reflection. You may not be shouting your plans from the rooftops, but behind the scenes you can research, work on old angers and prepare for something big. This is your time to take action on spiritual growth, creative projects or emotional baggage that's ready to go. Dreams may be vivid, instincts laser-sharp and solitude surprisingly productive.

Passionate Mars teams up with sensitive Neptune in your sign, and something that felt stuck at the end of last year can be within your reach. You're not just imagining great things - you're taking tangible steps to make them happen, with the help of friends, allies or your wider network. Your energy is clear, your intuition razor-sharp and your ability to inspire others can be on the next level.

You may notice a clash between acting fast and feeling deeply. One minute you're ready to leap, the next you're swimming in emotions, yours or someone else's. Creative energy and passion run high, but mood swings could complicate things, especially in close relationships. Channel this tension into something expressive. A little patience goes a long way.

Your connections to others and long-term plans are very much on your mind as January unfolds. You may have several competing and exciting options and by the New Moon on the 18th this can become the springboard for deciding which path to take. Interests in natural medicine, healing, retreats or mindfulness may call to you towards the end of the month. You could also find yourself surprisingly drawn to reconnecting with someone from your past. A reunion may appeal - or could it be an old flame whose memory resurfaces?
