The rhythm of early January is slow and normally this is in synch with your nature. Heavy. It's the dance of one step forward, two steps back at times. Old issues you thought you'd dealt with circle back, for resolution.
And it can be satisfying, to know you're getting to the heart of matters that have been under the radar. But something nags at you -- there's deeper truth here to dig out. And a gold star day for unlocking those secrets is the 17th, when Mercury is aligned with investigative Pluto. Soon after, Mercury is out of direct shadow, and more comes to light. There's a sense of finally emerging after some time in the dark.
What's Been Unearthed?The dark is a fertile place, though, and you'll soon see how much you've gleaned. This is a month for solid productivity. The backing is there, to roll up your sleeves and commit. How do you want to make your mark? The stakes are high and it's no time to settle -- you'll feel a sense of rightness if you're following your heart.
It's timely for seeing where your natural talents fit into the scheme of things. As a lover of stability, one of your greatest challenges in a time like this is being flexible. Some of the established ways of doing things are proving to be dead ends.
There's freedom for you Taurus, to assess the shifting situation, and find stability in your own discernment of what's solid. The 'safer' path could be the more experimental one.
Be prepared to move quickly, with alternatives that come up on the fly. The quirky friend or colleague offers a fresh way of seeing. Later in January, being out and about with family or friend groups puts a smile on your face. There's fun in numbers, and you'll enjoy the sense of belonging.
