Just right after one of the most intense Mercury retrograde periods that began on December 19, we had another Mercury direct last January 8. You’ve been doing a lot of thinking over the holidays and now it’s time to move forward.
The Benefits
You will reap many benefits during this time due to your amazing ideas and established knowledge. However, you need to keep in mind that in order for you to move forward, you need to be willing to let go of what no longer serves you. It’s time to discover what it takes to make your visions a reality. You have to rely on what is truly heartfelt to you.
Remain Patient
You’re so committed to the new life you’ve envisioned for yourself that it’s been hard remaining patient during this reflective period. But you’ve needed the time to let your ideas germinate before being able to communicate them to others. Whether it’s about your love and family life, a creative endeavor or your highest ambition, now is the powerful time to share this with the world.
The Chinese New Year
Reflect on personal events that took place around December 28 to find direction in your active pursuit of what you want, as the doors open beginning January 8. You’ll see an opportunity on January 27 when Mercury leaves his shadow. This is a time of rebirth as the Chinese New Year also happens this month. Your time has come!
