January Snoozescope
WITH ANGIE BANICKI
Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)
Influenced by 5 OF WANDS
Life is about perspective and how you look at something…ultimately, you have to zoom out.
– Whitney Wolfe Herd
January is a deep dark winter month, Aries. And you more than anyone probably knows this means hibernation. And this hibernation for you feels incredible. The 6 of wands implies you are really treasuring your worth. This time is your preparation for coming back out into the world ready to show off the new you. So let yourself hibernate. Take care of any endings that need wrapping. There is nothing superficial about this moment in time for you. You can expect penetrating insights. You may feel extra connected to your ancestors or those close to you that have passed. The afterlife has an extra fascination for you. Don’t be afraid to explore or appreciate any connection you feel here. The Light Between Us by Laura Lynn Jackson may be an interesting read. Be curious of what you may learn about yourself this January as you explore in ways you’ve not in the past.
Sleep potion: The Kama Sutra….yup.
Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20)
Influenced by 8 OF CUPS
In revenge and in love, woman is more barbaric than man is.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Being present is the key to January for you Taurus. But being present with a very concerted conscious effort Taurus. How are you living in the moment but with a new high level of awareness that previously may not have been present in the moments. This is powerful, Taurus. You are feeling in your body and in your knowing in a new level of depth. Some of that feeling yourself may test you by presenting you with choices you know it would not be smart to choose at this time. If you are reading this, I have a feeling you know what I mean. Do not give in to your shadow now. This could be in the realm of becoming the enemy, the temptress, the scorned. You are better than these. Instead use some of that passion and channel it into new ways of being in a relationship! Instead use that anger to fight for the inequalities happening in the world now. Be mysterious, be the wizard, be present with your new magic and magnetism!
Sleep potion: Add some mystery to the bedroom. Surprise yourself with this!
Gemini (May 21- June 20)
Influenced by KING OF WANDS
The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
– Alan Kay
First of all there is an emphasis on beauty Gemini. What can you do to be reminded of your beauty? For some of you this may be doing something physical to make yourself feel great – new hairstyle, new outfits, Ozempic? For others, this may be as simple as just getting out of the house and letting yourself be seen and letting others reflect back to you your magnificent light. You are such an attractor and magnet with the light of your being. Other air signs play an extra part in your life this month. Perhaps an aquarius? Let your aquarius friends/person give you advice now or teach you something in your interaction. Extra emphasis here. Play with that! Finally, there are some wild and prophetic visions coming at you in January. Get ready to seeeee into your future or the one you’d like to create. Finally, travel is your best friend now. Be in new environments when you can. Let them expand your mind!
Sleep potion: Get a great book to read or listen to before bed!
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Influenced by 5 of PENTACLES
I want people to fall in love with themselves and to be really proud and full of joy for the space they take up. if someone else appreciates the space you take up, then that’s icing on the cake.
– Jonathan Van Ness
Say more Cancer. Talk it out. Speak your truth. We want to hear your voice. If you sing, well then gosh darn it, sing more!! If you are negotiating business deals – SPEAK UP and say what you need. If you are trying to work through hard stuff in a relationship – SAY WHAT YOU NEED. Partnerships are highlighted here for you too. There is so much potential here for relationships to grow, collaborators in business to bring in support, money and growth. You just have to be really honest with yourself and “the other”. As long as you do your part, the universe wants to bring you more of what you need and want. SHOW ME THE MONEY.
Sleep potion: Get a mandala for your bedroom. Or better yet, make one!
Leo (July 23 - Aug 22)
Influenced by 10 OF SWORDS
The moon is a friend for the lonesome to talk to.
– Carl Sandburg
Fantasy is your friend Leo. This isn’t the month to take big actions. This is a month to be patient. To binge fun television shows. January wants you to meditate more. Take a breath course. Wait for life to catch up. All that said, a spontaneous unplanned adventure comes your way, well then yeah that’s a hell yes. It’s just if you want your work peers to get on your track, you’ll probably get frustrated. If you want to push your agenda and get going, well this month will scorn that agenda. So just sit back, show up and then get back to your binging and meditating and let everyone else catch up. And let Saturdays surprise you. Oh and extra sleep. Give yourself extra sleep now. No regrets. Naps are great.
Sleep potion: Get new sheets and sleep in your birthday suit.
Virgo (Aug 23 - Sep 22)
Influenced by THE EMPRESS
I must be a mermaid…I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.
– Anais Nin
The moon is your magic wand this month Virgo. The moon and nature and animals are your spirit guides showing you the way. Wow the more I write, the more I feel the inspiration swirling around you virgo. Ideas are dropping. If you write, it flows like poetry. Even in business, you are like an artist creating within the business. Try a new way of tapping into this creative zone – do arts and crafts, paint, volunteer. When a friend invites you to that weird pottery thing – just say yes. Also, there is a lesson here with a Pisces for you. Friend? Foe? Doesn’t matter. You are growing and they are your teacher. And maybe you are theirs too!
Sleep potion: Make sure you are connecting extra with family this month. This will be your sleep medicine.
Libra (Sept 23 - Oct 22)
Influenced by QUEEN OF PENTACLES
It is better to be looked over than overlooked.
– Mae West
Your talents are about to be singled out for recognition, Libra. So the message now is take care of yourself. Get your health in order. Do the things that make you feel strong and in your body. Take extra care of your body now. Healthy food. Smart workouts. There is an emphasis on helping your heart work. BE STRONG. The stage is calling. Other than your body, the other focus now is your parents. Call your mom with the intention of understanding her more. Even if you know you have learned some of the lessons you want her to understand, have some compassion and love her for loving you. Notice where you still feel the pressures of your dad and let go. Notice how you are an individual from your parents and also notice how they have shaped you. Both and!
Sleep potion: If you can, light a fire. Sleep by the fireplace or sit by the firepit. Let the flames soothe you to sleep!
Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)
Influenced by KNIGHT OF PENTACLES
When you expect the best, you release a magnetic force in your mind which by a law of attraction tends to bring the best to you.
– Norman Vincent Peale
One day at a time Scorpio. Stop trying to rush ahead. Trust in the delays. This month isn’t the big shebang and I know you know this. This month is doing what work needs to be done right now, in this moment. There is a level of reinvention still happening for you so allow and remember that too. You are building your castle and this takes careful crafting. You are not ordinary and I know you know this too. So stop trying to be normal. Stop being so available. At least for now. When cancellations or breakdowns happen, just know this is FOR you. The blocks and stops are all part of your preparation. Even when it feels unexpected and frustrating. It is FOR YOU. In a few months you’ll be laughing at how wild it all fits together. Be like a muse when you don’t know what to do with everything.
Sleep potion: NO electronics for an hour before bed. Stick to this one for January!
Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21)
Influenced by 4 OF SWORDS
Every moment and every event of every man’s life on earth plants something in his soul.
– Thomas Merton
January is about the earth Sag. You are solid. You know your home. You know your roots. You are firm in knowing yourself. Even if some of these things are just for now – you know where you are meant to be. Lean into this and ground yourself in that knowing. Home is important now. What can you do to make home feel more like home? Or are you considering a move? Use this month to explore and manifest. This isn’t a time to rush but it does feel like an intention with home is important for you. Without overthinking but instead exploring and asking for signs. Real estate is highlighted for you. And you are manifesting so in the least, think about your dream situation! Go listen to the music and get inspired!
Sleep potion: Watch the sunset from your favorite place and let the sun going down trigger your body for a good night’s sleep!
Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)
Influenced by THE LOVERS
It is always by way of pain one arrives at pleasure.
– Marquis De Sade
Doors are opening for you Capricorn. Dreams are manifesting. Red lights are turning green. Good can finally come to you. Go buy that lotto ticket because you’ve got the luck now. This doesn’t mean go be reckless or lazy but there is an easing of the way forward for you. So trust in positivity. Notice the improvements. Align with your soul’s calling and step into it. Be open to the miracles and the magic. Let yourself enjoy your work and the joys that life is bringing you. Your reading is simple and divine. Let yourself be simple and divine at this time.
Sleep potion: Yellow is your lucky sleep color. Wear or surround yourself with some yellow at bedtime.
Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)
Influenced by SIX OF CUPS
The best thing to do with the best things in life is to give them away.
– Dorothy Day
Your past is teaching now, Aquarius. Let yourself learn from what your past wants to show you. Relationships will be intense this month and can prove to shift in miraculous ways if you are willing to WORK at things and see your own personal big lessons now. If you are single and meet someone new, things will be intense so let yourself really look within at what comes up to help you know yourself in a relationship. In relationship – this month wants to shift the stuck pieces for you. This may not feel great but has enormous possibilities. Like may feel upsetting at first, but this is to break you from your past patterns. INTENSE HEALING is your message sweet Aquarius. Life-changing.
Sleep potion: Sleep in all white to purify this healing month!
Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 20)
Influenced by WHEEL OF FORTUNE
You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.
– Ray Bradbury
Your words are insanely powerful this month Pisces. What are you going to do with that? Obviously, if you are a writer – DO YOUR THANG! This is a great month to journal for personal growth. If there’s something you’ve been working on, writing is your key to understanding. Communication is strong as well so don’t hold back on talking through those work concepts and strategies. Dive in. Go to the library for inspiration. When ideas strike – WRITE THEM DOWN. If you’ve secretly been wanting to write that screenplay or book – give it a go this month. Siblings may have more emphasis this month so go for lunch or plan that phone catchup with your brother or sister.
Sleep potion: Try a new bed out this month! Just for fun! See what it does to your dreams! Sleep in the guest room. Go for a weekend away. Sleep on the ground. Shake up the sleeping sitch, Pisces and see what transpires.
