This month planetary movements to keep an eye on:

AQUARIUS (20th January - 18th February)

This is a major transitional month for you. Things MUST be let go in order to prepare for the new. Many will be considering a change in living conditions and/or working arrangements. You will strive to lay the foundations for a simple, more balanced and complete life. Family may not take the news well and after the 25th it could all come to a head. Money will be allocated to new directions that will prosper in your future. Health concerns seem to be more superficial rather than necessary. You are gorgeous just as you are. Keep the more expensive things to the planning stage for this month. Those already scheduled for operations or treatment for this month should have a good outcome.

Crystal for the month: Malachite

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Butterfly

PISCES (19th February - 20th March)

This month seems to be filled with mood swings for you, careful about jumping to conclusions or blowing things out of proportion. Focus on the practical things you can change rather than overthinking about what you cannot. Some hard truths may need to be confronted this month. Health wise; lower back pain is annoying, bend with your knees please! You will have the opportunity to be better for it and your future will have more clarity later in the year. This year is important for your personal growth, and it all starts this month. Good luck.

Crystals for the month: Moonstone for women or Graphite/Lava stone for men

ARIES (21st March - 20th April)

Optimistic new directions continue to call you. Let go of control regarding others and their outcomes this month and you will be far happier with the results. This month is about you establishing boundaries with those in your immediate circle. Time to let some of them stand on their own two feet to sink or swim. You will uncover more answers regarding previous injustices or those blockages you were encountering. Financially it could be a little tight, so spend wisely. The 18th should be a highlight day for you.

Crystal for the month: Hematite.

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Arctic Tern.

TAURUS (21st April - 20th May)

This is a quiet and slow month for you, allowing you the opportunity to create that necessary balance required for 2023. It will be others who slow you down and irritate you (there is not much you can do about it though but smile and wait) After the 19th, things should ease up. Older generations may need assistance after the 20th. Finances are a little more strained this month so keep extra spending till later on in the year. Health is a little dodgy too, keep a good eye on your dietary requirements. Perhaps spend more time creating a warm cozy haven to hide from the pests instead.

Crystal for the month: Angelite

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Snail

GEMINI (21st May - 20th June)

This month is filled to the brim with many subtle changes. Make time for family and don't ignore social invitations and/or obligations. You will have a hard time staying focused but it will be in your best interest to give extra attention to areas that you have been neglecting. Doors can open up for you during January but most things are just in the " I wish" stage. Finances are average but you may have a desire to splurge - think carefully before you do.

Crystal for the month: Labradite

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Dragonfly

CANCER (21st June - 20th July)

Overly emotional turmoil is indicated but if you can keep it together during this month, then you will find that the implemented changes are for the better. Trying to be the peacekeeper could take its toll and your health could be effected due to the stress. You will need to keep reminding yourself of the bigger picture. Business needs to be highly professional this month and read any presented contracts carefully before signing them.

Loss of focus could cost you financially (red light cameras or speeding fines perhaps?) Focus on the positives - there are many. They are just hiding.

Crystal for the month: Moonstone or Selenite

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Ibis

LEO ( 21st July - 21st August)

Don't push when you hit obstacles - learn from them. Some need to be acknowledged so that you can flow past, other older issues need to be re evaluated. This is also a smart month to keep your mouth shut when it comes to family or partners. They do not see things from the same angle. Instead this month, you should be mentally reorganizing your life and its connections. Other people are definitely the cause of your stress and grief. Find your inner calm on the 20th. This month is not fantastic for your emotional wellbeing so spend plenty of time doing things that YOU enjoy.

Crystal for the month: Diamond.

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Gopher.

VIRGO (22nd August - 22nd September)

This is a big month for business, re-organization. is in the cards. Expect changes in the workplace.

Surprise money may come in but money will also surprise you as it flies out. At least you shouldn't be out of pocket. The last half of the month you need to push yourself to be more social as future business connections will be stumbled upon. You may feel generally that you have too much on your plate this month but there is not much you can do about it. Stop procrastinating and focus on tying up loose ends.

Crystal for the month: Topaz or Garnet.

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Horse.

LIBRA (23rd September - 22nd October)

You are ending a four year cycle this month so it is time to tweak your life plan to handle the changes and new responsibilities being presented. Adapting a different approach to a blockage in your life may bring you amazing results. Health issues however will need to be addressed. Accepting help may make you cringe but it is necessary. This is actually a very liberating month if you look at with honest eyes.

Crystal for the month: Rhodocrosite.

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Termite.

SCORPIO (23rd October - 22nd November)

An interesting business preposition will be offered to you that should peak your enthusiasm. Foundations should be built that will last a lifetime. There are some small obstacles ahead this month but overall nothing major or sinister. The important thing to remember for January is to keep your life balanced. No major spending this month. Social interactions should be with smaller events and groups rather than large ones where possible.

Mineral for the month: Copper

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Bull.

SAGITTARIUS (23rd November - 20th December)

You could be experiencing some emotional turmoil until the 19th and spirit is asking you to take a less emotional responses to outside annoying stimuli or people. Ride this time out without taking things personally, otherwise it could lead to burnout. It is a time for slow detachments regarding business interests however personal stumbling blocks will call for the band aid to be ripped off quickly. Spirit and muse connections are strong but not all the messages are for you or relate to this month ,so best start writing them down in a diary to assist you throughout this year. The 14th will be a practical day where you can breathe life into some of your projects or desires but it may help to discuss details with a trusted friend or confidant. Tie up any remaining loos ends by the 25th.

Crystal for the month: Chalcopyrite.

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Ostrich.

CAPRICORN (21st December - 19th January)

January is apparently a bumpy start to year. This month is strictly money budget conscious till the 25th.After this date there may be a releasing of financial pressure. Inter relationships are fraught with chaos so choose your battles wisely. You will most likely feel a little disconnected from everything this month - use this time to pamper yourself and finish a few menial tasks that you keep putting off till a rainy day. Although you may feel a little lost and pressured during most of this month, my best advise to see you through it all is to focus on completing the smaller tasks to perfection rather than jumping feet first into uncharted personal or business projects. Some mechanical expenses may be your budget undoing, play it safe.

Crystal for the month: Mookite or Red jasper.

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Platypus.
