The spotlight is always on your relationships in January and quite literally, with the Sun always spending the first three weeks of every year in your relationship sector. This year you have a mix of the ordinary and the extraordinary, making this an important relationship month but also the start of an important relationship year. The ordinary is that the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of January in your relationship sector and until leaving on 21st January, will keep the solar spotlight on your relationships. It is also ordinary to have Mercury, the planet of communication here until 17th January. Even Venus, who left just before Christmas but not before updating your relationship wish list, was part of the ordinary pattern. What is extraordinary is starting the year with lucky Jupiter in your relationship sector, with his return last month bringing you to a point on the relationship front that everything until now has led up to and everything from now will lead on from. This is something you have been preparing for since Pluto returned to your relationship sector in 2008 and even more so since Saturn returned in 2017. {ads_delimiter}This is the first time in our lifetime that Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn, the planets of luck, change and the planet that has the power to move mountains have been here at the same time. The full power of this will be felt when Saturn and Pluto align on 12th/13th January. This is when there will be full exposure to not only what you want from your relationships and what they need from you but how to make it happen. A lunar eclipse in Cancer on 10th/11th January will allow the Moon to advocate your own needs, putting a balance between your personal and relationship needs to the test. Fortunately, you have Mercury, the planet of communication in your relationship sector until 17th January. With so much focus on your relationships, it is important not to overlook Mars' final days in your romantic sector, for once he leaves on 3rd January there will be no more planetary activity on the romantic front until later in the year.
