With Mercury entering Capricorn next week, Tatler’s astrologer Casey Chan explains what it means for each star sign
The next week starts off with Mercury entering the sign of the sea goat, Capricorn. Over the next four weeks, our minds and thought processes become much more goal-oriented, where questions around our career paths and life purpose may naturally surface. You may find yourself planning, imagining or even voicing your ambition. It’s a good month to put plans into action.
On January 20, the Sun and Pluto also join in the sign of the responsible Capricorn. At 29 degrees, they are meeting in what is known as a “karmic degree”, making this a potent time to review the Plutonian transformations that life has presented us. Both personally and collectively, new insights may be brought to light and secrets may be revealed. Since Capricorn governs our societal structures and rules, we may witness some important social changes as Pluto, the lord of transformations, journeys through the final stages of his Capricorn days. On a personal note, we are encouraged to take responsibilities for our lives and truthfully own our transformations to fully claim our power. Just moments later, the Sun enters Aquarius, the sign of friends and community. Over the next four weeks, we may feel like a social butterfly—think dinner parties and catch-ups with friends.

Reflect on all the transformations you’ve had in your life, especially related to career and the life you wish to build. Take responsibility for all the times your determination wavered.

Gemini
The last six months have been a massive portal of transformation for you, where parts of you had to “die” so your authentic self can be birthed. This is a reminder of how strong you truly are.
