Granted, I hate to be cliché with the whole "new year, new me" thing, but in all seriousness, how could I not be? Aside from kicking off Aries season, during the spring solstice, January always feels like a cosmic reset, which reminds me, your January 2019 horoscope is finally here, hooray! Are you ready to make 2019 the best year yet? Aside from the goals you've set for the upcoming year, just remember, you are blessed. Truth is, every year we are given the opportunity to learn something new, grow thicker skin, and ultimately become better versions of ourselves. Congratulations, this is your clean slate from the heavens.
There's a lot of movement in the sky this month, and I'm pretty sure you'll get a glimpse of it first hand. For starters, we will be in the midst of Capricorn season, and that in itself means work. In fact, Mercury the messenger joins the sun on Jan. 4, just a day before the new moon solar eclipse in Capricorn. Are you acting with integrity, and doing the work? Uranus goes direct on Jan. 6, Venus enters Sagittarius on Jan. 7, and this will definitely shake things up. However, after the sun enters Aquarius on Jan. 20, there will be a total lunar eclipse in Leo, which concludes the series of Leo-Aquarius eclipses, that kicked off in 2017.
With that being said, here go your January horoscopes:

Everything related to your personal identity, self-expression, appearance, and personality in general are undergoing a major revamp. Besides, with the sun traveling through your sign, all of your hard work will be put on the spot. Granted, Saturn and Pluto are there, too.
