Progressive recovery
The Sun transits the tenth field in Aquarius , where it meets the New Moon on February 17th. Mercury and Venus are also already in Aquarius but remain dissonant, respectively, until February 6th and 10th, after which they move into a good sextile in the eleventh field in Pisces . Mars on the other hand, transits Aquarius from January 23rd to March 2nd. As for the slower-moving planets, the first decan receives the square of Pluto in Aquarius , the second the sextile of Jupiter in Cancer , while the third is still involved in the conjunct of Uranus . Neptune and Saturn in Pisces are in turn in sextile the third decan until January 26th and February 14th. Overall, it is a somewhat challenging period, even if with a partial and progressive recovery. It is best to approach days like January 20th and 26th, February 1st, 2nd, 8th, 9th, 16th and 17th with caution. The days of January 21, 22, 23, 30 and 31, February 3, 4, 14 and 18 will be more peaceful and profitable.
Natural perseverance
The dense stellium in Aquarius is concentrated, as we've seen, between January 23rd and February 6th, but throughout the astrological month, Mars 's dissonance must be kept under control. From the tenth field , these transits undoubtedly push your desires, expectations, and personal affirmation, and in short, express an energy strongly oriented toward demonstrative actions: that is, actions that confirm and demonstrate your worth. However, this momentum, while legitimate and powerful in itself, isn't necessarily sufficient to allow you to achieve concrete and lasting results... because starting out is one thing, arriving is another! Let's say it depends in part on your motivations, which can be more or less conscious, more or less solid. If it's only (or mainly) a desire for revenge, instinct, or reactive emotion, the risk of dispersing your energies in confusing directions increases; If, on the other hand, you're clear about what you want to achieve and why, and perhaps draw on your natural resources of tenacity, then you can make more confident steps forward, in truly constructive directions. Consider that Uranus , still at the end of your sign, will return to direct motion on February 4th and perhaps for many of you it will mark a significant turning point, concluding over the next two or three months a process of renewal begun in recent years. In this sense, the second half of the astrological month, with Mercury once again supporting you, will be not only simpler but decidedly more effective. Also because, precisely, you'll be able to transform stubbornness into perseverance, the insistence on doing things your own way into an openness to discussion.
Plan and optimize
Many of you are likely busy at work, worried about important initiatives to launch or delicate meetings to manage. You feel responsible, but perhaps also a little anxious, and so you may act impulsively rather than rationally. Being patient, as I suggested above, means having a broad enough vision to objectively weigh the pros and cons of possible choices; and Mercury 's sextile , starting February 6th, seems to favor just such an attitude. In short, it's definitely a good idea to focus on projects first, especially bold and creative ones, and only then on the resulting decisions and actions. This shouldn't be a problem for you; after all, you're pragmatic people and certainly capable of waiting for the right time, as long as you don't let the pressure you feel during this period influence you. And in any case, by carefully planning your initiatives, both in terms of methods and timing, and in the tools to use and optimize, you'll be more likely to achieve what you care about, something you've perhaps been working toward for months or even years. Your relationships will also improve, both collaborations and private relationships, whether friendships or relationships with your partner. Exchanging opinions based on shared values and common goals will be stimulating and more rewarding; especially with your partner, you will have the opportunity to rekindle your bond, clearing up some misunderstandings.
First decade
While Pluto continues its dissonance, Mars joins from January 23rd to February 5th. This is an intense configuration that should be handled with caution. You may feel pressured to make significant decisions you're not quite ready for, or you may be influenced by people who aren't entirely transparent. From February 6th to 13th, Mercury favors a broader vision...
Second decade
Mars square you from February 5th to 17th, while Mercury sextile you from the 13th to the 20th. Some bad moods may unnerve you, but you shouldn't let them overwhelm you; instead, try to embrace your feelings without jumping to conclusions. Open up more, discuss things with friends or colleagues, and listen to differing opinions openly.
Third decade
Uranus remains in conjunct and resumes direct motion on February 4th, while the fast-moving planets engage you with their squares: Mercury until the 6th, Venus until the 10th. There are probably changes to accept or promote, to integrate, but give yourself time to process the messages you receive: from events, from people, but also from your feelings...
