Pisces January Horoscope 2013
The debate between your head and heart heats up with this month’s stark contrast between romantic ideals and relationship realities. Reason’s role, played by the Sun in pragmatic Capricorn, takes center stage when cerebral Mercury enters this earthbound sign on January 8. Yet feelings flow freely when the sentimental Cancer Full Moon on January 9 lights up your 5th House of Love and Creativity, bringing hopes for romance to fruition. Waves of emotion and your need for affection can erode the walls of logic that help you maintain order in your life.
In principle, the Full Moon’s supportive sextile to active Mars in practical Virgo should help you keep at least one foot on the ground, yet it’s a weak anchor against the winds of amour— which will soon blow even stronger. On January 14, Venus, the planet of attraction, dances into poetic Pisces to further arouse your interest in intimacy.

The New Year brings prospects of big changes, yet you’re wise to start slowly and be realistic about how long it will take to reach your goals. You still have some old business to complete with the Sun in dutiful Capricorn and your 12th House of Endings until January 20. Communicator Mercury keeps your thoughts anchored to reality when it, too, visits earthy Capricorn on January 8-27.
Bold Mars is currently energizing your 8th House of Transformation, yet his presence in finicky Virgo demands that you move ahead one small step at a time. Additionally, your progress can be mired in red tape and delays as active Mars slows to turn retrograde on January 23. Practice flexibility and let your schedule slip when required; remember that pushing harder will only bring frustration.

Your new year usually gets off to a fast start with the Sun traveling through ambitious Capricorn. This time, however, take a more cautious approach to reduce wasted effort because Mars, the planet of action, is slowing down prior to turning retrograde on January 23. Its period of backward motion will continue until April 13 in your 9th House of Big Ideas, requiring adjustments and refinements and possibly even a significant shift in your vision of the future. Travel, education, and belief systems are most likely to be affected, so when you think you’ve nailed down a plan or a point of view, additional information could turn you in another direction.
That logical brain of yours, though, kicks into a higher gear of organization when calculating Mercury enters industrious Capricorn on the 8th. This is a great time for thinking strategically and expressing yourself with clarity and conviction to maintain short-term order until the bigger pieces of your life fall into place.

You have turned a corner and can finally see where you’re going. Your key planet, Jupiter, shifted to direct motion on December 25, 2011, in your 6th House of Self-Improvement and now clears a path for personal growth in front of you. It may take time before the changes you make in your daily routine produce noticeable results, yet it’s crucial to stay focused on what you need to do day by day, even if success still seems far away. Your professional progress may be impeded this month, because physical Mars crawls along at a snail’s pace until he starts backpedal-ing on January 23.
Mars retrogrades in your 10th House of Career until April 13, forcing you to slow down and review recent work, revamp your plans, and re-create your timetable for reaching your goals. Fortunately, you receive significant help from realistic Saturn in your 11th House of Dreams and Wishes as it nears a free-flowing trine with imaginative Neptune this month. This long-lasting aspect isn’t exact until October 10, yet it reveals a sensible strategy to turn your fantasies into reality if you can be self-disciplined and patient now.

Be diligent in your pursuit of knowledge and purposeful in what you say.

You may begin the year with heightened expectations about love; your ruling planet, Venus, in your 5th House of Romance aligns with Mars in your 12th House of Destiny on January 1. But bridging the gap between what you want and what you have can be tricky business when Venus and Mars, the cosmic lovers, form an ill-adjusted quincunx on January 7. Demands at work can put stress on domestic conditions when the security-conscious Cancer Full Moon spotlights your 10th House of Public Responsibility on January 9.
Thankfully, balancing your dreams with reality is within reach on January 13 as Venus forms a harmonious trine with stable Saturn and hooks up with ethereal Neptune.
