Venus remains retrograde until January 31 between 26°41´ and 13°34´ Capricorn. Its shadow period (the exact degree and minute Venus started its retrograde motion) continues until March 4, 2014. Our relationships are being seriously tested. Who do we love? What do we expect in a relationship? What are our deepest needs? What are we willing to share of ourselves? What obstacles to intimacy stand in the way of achieving the happiness and the harmony we seek in union with another?

Jupiter continues being retrograde this whole month between 16° 03´ and 12° 17´ Cancer. Its shadow period remains until June 2, 2014. This is an important period to tap into our deeper resources to create the money we need. We are constantly reminded that money doesn't come from a person or a job but directly from the divine and the way we feel about abundance. We could be called on to go through our closets and give away what we no longer need or like so that it might benefit someone else. We could remember a project that has been collecting dust that has a great lucrative potential. January is a month to continue being generous with both what we have and who we are.
