Success is in the air on January 12 when Mars in Capricorn forms a supportive trine with beneficent Jupiter in Taurus. This brings you back to conversations and topics that were unfolding on December 27, when the sun in Capricorn formed the same positive aspect with Jupiter. This is a growth-oriented aspect, and you can make a lot of headway, whether it’s on a personal goal or by tackling the pesky items on your to-do list.

The next day, Mercury, the planet of communication and information, re-enters Capricorn. This shift highlights conversations and ideas that took place on December 1 and December 22, the last times Mercury sat at this point in the sky. You’re moving through the final stages of Mercury’s post-retrograde shadow period, and misunderstandings are clearing up to allow for smoother progress on your goals.
