Cancer Summary

What a month! When Jupiter changes signs, that's headline news, and that's precisely what will happen on January 5. As the planet of good fortune, we all want to know where Jupiter is based in a chart, for it proffers so much luck to come.
In your case, Jupiter will be based in 2009 in your house of "other people's money," which means their money will come to you now and possibly will help you launch a dream, such as to go to college or grad school, to buy a house, or to move across country.
You may get a major loan, mortgage, attractive refinancing plan, an infusion of venture capital, or a scholarship. The possible sources of income will be plentiful, including funds from various government programs. What matters is that it will come, and that you will benefit as a result.
Commissions, licensing fees, bonuses, and other such funds should also be lucky areas of gain. Why, you may even win a large cash prize as a contestant on TV or through a contest on a cell phone, because Jupiter in Aquarius indicates luck though digital forms.
To be sure you notice this new development in your chart, the universe will send an eclipse, January 26, to get the ball rolling. Some sort of money is due you, so make sure the amount is as large as it can be. You will see that the last week of January and most of February will be a stellar time to set deals in place and start getting those checks written to you.
Also working with this generous financial eclipse will be an earlier meeting of the Sun and Jupiter on January 23-24. The proximity of the eclipse with this meeting of the Sun and Jupiter matters, for together your financial benefits will become so much bigger than you would ordinarily see.
This month the money you think about will be solely outside of money you receive as salary. Next month, on the February 9 full moon lunar eclipse, you will be centered on money you earn.
The forming of close, contractual relationships could also be on your mind, and if so, your timing would be ideal. Your best days fall from January 1-4, but thanks to a very powerful, encouraging new moon that arrived last month on December 27, you appear ready to commit, in love or in terms of a business arrangement. Excellent! Sign papers early in the month, and avoid Mercury in retrograde.
Mercury will retrograde from January 11 to February 1, but don't work up too closely to those start and end dates. It's always wise to keep as much space as possible from those dates. If you can sign your partnership in the days January 1-4, that would be ideal.
Romance will be brightest for those already attached, for the closeness and affection you feel should make you feel very adored. Your partner is apparently a gem, and this month, you seem to recognize that truth.
For some Cancers, it's the business partner - or person you represent or vice versa, the person who represents you - who will be so golden for you now. Make formal arrangements to stay together!
If you are single and hoping to find someone new, travel will be one of your best ways to meet. Can't go? Then think about taking courses at night or on weekends. Taking a seminar or workshop could put you in just the right place at the right time.
This month changes so much, dear Cancer - and finally, you'll be in the right place at the right time to take full advantage!
Dates to note:
Best romantic dates: January 1-5 (five stars for attached Cancers), January 9-11 (especially great for travel), 18-19, 23-24, and 28-29.
News from a college or university excites you: January 8-14.
A full moon in Cancer January 10 brings something dearly important to you to a final surprising culmination.
Luck for getting financing, a windfall, or loan will be extraordinary: January 23-31.
If you need dental or medical surgery, schedule it for next month, after February 4, if possible. If it is an emergency, this month is fine.

Capricorn Summary

What an exciting month you have ahead, dear Capricorn. The first four days of January bring Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, and energies of the new moon that appeared at the end of December all together in one big package. Mars will stay with you all month, giving you energy and drive. You can move ahead on plans, but do so with caution.
Mercury will be retrograde from January 11 to February 1, and that means conditions are changing. You won't be able to see the road ahead until at least February, so conduct talks, but don't commit yourself to anything quite yet. Don't sign contracts, take a new job, or buy anything expensive this month, especially not anything electronic.
The second half of the month introduces the year's new trend - financial reward for hard work done.
Your first indication that you are about to hit some wonderful financial luck could be January 22, when Mars and Uranus will meet on your behalf. It's a wow of a day. Ask for a raise, find a freelance or part-time job, or bid on a job - whatever you like! The world is your oyster!
The next day you will come to the luckiest days of the year, January 23-24. Of the two, your best day will be January 23. Money luck will also be on your side in a big way! You may hear of more moneymaking opportunities then too, and your career should be hitting all high notes. Although the money I am seeing is earned income for you, I will admit that this is also a lucky time of the month for you, so go ahead and buy one or two scratch-off lotto tickets - just don't spend too much!
The solar eclipse on January 26 will be another big moment for you, for it will open a door on a very lucrative income earning opportunity. If you enjoy your present job, ask for a raise soon after that brilliant new moon arrives. It's very possible you will get an offer from a competing firm soon if your present employer does not have the budget to give you more money.
Eclipses affect us for longer time periods than other aspects. This one is a very generous one because it will appear so close to Jupiter. If you are negotiating a new job, be sure to get the salary you want, because you have rare favor now! If you are self-employed and bidding on a big contract or job, you seem to be the golden one and you can push the envelope!
Travel could come up this month and would be a great time to go. On January 9, you may get a quick invitation to jump in your car and go to see friends or a close family member, such as your sibling. It's a great time to go.
Another grand weekend for travel will come over the weekend of January 17-18, when Mercury will conjunct Jupiter. This would be superb time to journey a very long distance. Also, anything having to do with publishing, broadcasting, or academia would bring happy results this same weekend, or on the previous Friday, January 16.
Your career should bring stunningly good news on January 22. Wow! Your solar tenth house is ruled by Venus, and on this day, Venus will meet with Uranus.
Romance seems to be on the front burner too this month. January 1-4 will be so special that if you have not yet met your soul mate, you should be out and circulating. You have the whole solar system on your side!
If single, January 22 brings Venus and Uranus together. Your confidence will be high this month, so you must be out and about a great deal.
Dates to watch:
Best romantic days: January 1-4, 6-7, 10-11, 13, 22-24, and 28-29.
Make a long range plan: January 2 when the Saturn will meet with the Sun on your behalf.
Visit a campus, take an exam, have an entrance interview at a university: January 16-18.
Your career brings unexpected, positive developments: January 22.
Happy days for travel: January 9, 17-18 (long trip), 22 (short trip).
A big earning opportunity will come up: January 26.
Your luckiest days of the year: January 23-24, for money, love, career - you seem to have it all - but luck for earned income gets top billing.
