January ushers in a year when there will be a lot of action, much change and transformation, and plenty of loss and gain. Venus is retrograde in Capricorn for the whole month and she asks you to review everything that has to do with love and money. Let go of and discard the things you no longer treasure so you can make room for new delights.

2014 will be one of those years that you remember. Get ready for change, and, to paraphrase Bette Davis, fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
