¡Feliz Año Nuevo (Happy New Year) amiga! In the Gregorian calendar, January is the beginning of the new year, which is what we celebrate in the United States. In Tropical Placidus Astrology, which is what your Tarotscope is based on, Aries is the start of the new year. Regardless, it's January of 2023 and your astrology tarot horoscope is serving you all the cosmic tea to navigate the first month of the year in a divinely guided way. You ended December 2022 with a final Mercury Retrograde of the year, and it's rolling into January. Mid-month Mercury will go direct on January 18th in the sign of Capricorn. Starting 2023 in the midst of a Mercury Retrograde doesn't seem logically ideal. However, this retrograde is bringing you the mental clarity and focus needed to assess your ambitions for the new year. The first few weeks of January will move slowly. Take your time and ease into how you want to intentionally move through the rest of the year. This is a month of receiving, reciprocity and renewal. The first week of January introduces a Cancer full moon on the 6th. Just six days before Mars goes direct from its months-long retrograde in Gemini ceasing on Jan. 12. That's a full moon that will focus on themes of family, femininity, and stability. Two more major cosmic events help you close out the month with inspiration and invigorating innovation. An Aquarius new moon on Jan. 21 followed by Uranus going direct from retrograde on Jan. 22. The Aquarius new moon centers on matters of community, friendship, and philanthropy. It's a great new moon to try out new social circles or collaborate with others. Now, what does your Tarotscope have in store for you? Tarotscopes merge the divination tools of tarot and astrology horoscopes based on your zodiac sign to provide you with a magical fusion of forecasting. Read on for your sun sign and rising sign to get a well-rounded perspective of what magic January is helping you manifest.
Tarot Card of the Month: The Empress
The overall tarot card pull for the general collective is The Empress. In both a straightforward and symbolic sense, this is the card of pregnancy. January is a month of fertility. What seeds of hope are you planting for yourself? This is an energy of empowerment and self-sufficiency. This month you'll be strongly aware of your intuition and it will serve you well to allow its guidance to soothe your soul. Surrender to the magic around you and watch your abundance sprout by the end of this month. This month keep tending to your spiritual practices and allow yourself to receive from the universe. Accept that compliment. Let a coworker treat you to lunch. You are getting all the good karma you've put out during this time.
