Summary for Cancer

You may still feel the glow of special closeness with your partner, having spent quality time together over the holidays. Those lyrical feelings will carry you into January. The new moon of December 24 was ideal for planning your future with your one and only. If you got engaged or married, or drew up new goals that you can work on together, your chances of success as a couple are stronger than they've been in months.
If you are dating someone but happy in the knowledge that you are not meant for each other, the eclipses that came by from July 2009-July 2011 started to make this reality clear. The first two weeks of January would be the right time to decide whether to stay or leave. Often this is not an easy choice, as other factors play into the decision. Still, you seem ready to start the New Year on the right foot romantically and leave the frustrations of the past behind you. If you are unsure, but feel there's hope for this relationship, you always have the option of trying reconciliation, perhaps with a couples therapist.
Are you not dating at all and have not for a while? Your luck will change for the better once Venus enters Pisces in mid-month. Travel of all kinds will increase your chances of meeting someone special. Happily, short distance journeys are possible now, all most likely in connection with your work. This is a long-term trend, so you'll be in lots of new settings, and each one will invigorate your mind and heart. One promising day to experience new love, or fan the fires of present love, will be January 21.
On January 9, the full moon in Cancer will arrive, bringing to fullness something of enormous importance to you, in any phase of life. This will be a key moment, so watch events to crystallize within four days of this date. If your birthday falls on July 11, or close to it, you'll feel the energy of this moon powerfully. If you want to talk over an imminent decision or action, a friend, or your sister, brother, or cousin will happily deliberate your options, on any topic, so feel free to ask.
At the new moon, January 23, you may be trying to decide how to make more money. Thanks to the angle of Uranus at the same time, you will likely experience a stroke of luck when emerging opportunities compel you to look closer. You will likely be excited about new career options you never anticipated. Show enthusiasm! There will be no reason to rush a decision - enjoy the process of being fussed over. They will want you, and you'll know it.
Dates to Note for Cancer
You may be getting very serious about your significant other these days, and feeling the closeness of love, a spillover from February.
If it is time to break up, you will do so now to free yourself to meet others.
Venus in Pisces January 14 to February 8 is great news for single Cancers - Venus will work hard for you, so meet her halfway by circulating.
A full moon in Cancer brings to fruition all that is important to you January 9.
Finances need tending after January 23. You may be working on your taxes or finding other sources of income. Career opportunities will be excellent then too.
Most romantic dates and generally favorable for other purposes too: January 2, 4, 7, 8, 9 (January 9 could go either way as a full moon, but is generally bright), 12, 13, 14, 17, 20, 21, 25, and 31.

Summary for Capricorn

You may be traveling a great deal lately, or else working in the international arena from your own base, but you may have discovered recently that your plans or negotiations have proceeded slowly. You may be blaming that on year-end vacations and recent holidays, but in truth, the pace you are experiencing is due to Mars' impending retrograde orbit on January 23 to April 13. (You have been feeling the slowdown as early as last month, and the lackadaisical pace will now accelerate more noticeably.) Be patient if you should encounter more snags; it's all part of the process.
A very important close relationship, most likely a romantic one, will come to a decision point within four days of January 9. Your long hours at work may have become a bone of contention, leaving your partner feeling lonely or alienated. Talk things out - it's never wise to dismiss a concern. If the relationship in question is business-oriented, you may not agree with your agent, manager, or business manager about taking (or vying for) a career opportunity. You have enough planets protecting you in January, so present your case, for you can turn others to your side. The potential financial rewards should be generous.
This month would be an ideal time to ask for a raise, to negotiate a salary for a new position, or if self-employed, to work hard to pitch a new, lucrative client. With Uranus so active and positive, the news you get will be completely unexpected! Time your actions for just after the new moon of January 23.
If you are trying to sell your house or buy a new one, you may need to put that idea temporarily on ice for a while. With Mars going retrograde on this same day as the new moon, January 23, you won't get your price, as Mars rules your real estate transactions. It may take until April or May to actually finalize the sale. Start in late March and you will initiate your effort at the right time and should get the best possible result.
In love, the full moon January 9 could be a moment of a magical culmination - you may get engaged or married, or are finding ways to grow closer in an established relationship. It is possible that if you are not happy, you will leave a relationship at this time, but let's think good thoughts. This full moon seems to be happy, and one thing is certain: You will be protected.
You have come through many of life's most difficult challenges, and not only survived but flourished. Anyone who assumed you would topple in a storm was proven to be wrong. Now, Jupiter, the great planet of gifts and luck, will be standing behind you and helping you in many loving ways in the coming months. Get ready for your renaissance, dear Capricorn. No one deserves it more than you.
Dates to Note for Capricorn

A close relationship is reaching a very important decision point on January 9, plus or minus four days - time to decide about exclusivity and terms in love or business.

Ask for a raise or negotiate a new salary or fee just after the new moon, January 23. You may not get much, but at least you may get a small raise.
