Your ruler starts this month in tension with the planet of change, Uranus. If you enjoyed a festive fling this aspect will test it, or in an ongoing tie you might need to reset the emotional compass between you. Some new friendships may have captured your imagination, but finding some ‘you' time can help, at least initially, to ground you. Still, from the 19th you'll start to regain your appetite for social interaction, and in fact, the last phase of January can prime up some fabulous opportunities to mix and mingle or develop new creative hobbies. You could find yourself in optimistic form by the month's end, dazzling all and sundry with your charisma and bubbly personality. A new era really does truly begin, with the New Moon of the 29th.
