Change is imminent. Take time to prepare for it now. Your health may need attention. Make appointments to consult with doctors. Look for spiritual insights as well, in dreams and introspection. Avoid fraud or deception by making all decisions with care. You feel excited and open to love and romance. If you are not in a relationship, you may be feeling lonely. Resolve that by being open-minded. Authority figures may cause difficulties. Remain amicable and reach out and issues will be peacefully resolved. Find time for your hobbies and for leisure to refresh your mind and mood.

Permission to downshift: granted. As the vibrant Sun sneaks into Capricorn and your restful, restorative twelfth house this Saturday, you have every right to reclaim your chill. El Sol is due to parade into Aquarius on January 19, so you’re moving into the last month of your yearlong zodiac cycle today. You need to loosen your grip and surrender to a slower pace. That’s how you’ll hit the reset button and clear the decks for your fresh start next year. Meander wherever your imagination takes you…into daydreams, engrossing novels, transcendent music or even binge-watching. It’s time to tune out the so-called real world and go within to soothe your soul. Shelve any heart-to-hearts for Sunday, when the quarter moon in Libra restores your diplomacy. No subject is off-limits with this lunar landing in your philosophical ninth house. Just be considerate of the crowd before you unleash one of your opinionated monologues. Not everyone will want to be privy to debates about politics, religion or even sports. Speaking of which, you could afford to burn off some energy. Bundle up and go for a jog or a brisk walk. Moving around keeps your spirits high.
