Venus conjunct Mars awakens something in you, Sagittarius, and suddenly you feel alive and inspired once again. On January 8, hesitation fades and instinct takes over, which you are very good at working with.
You know what you want, and you stop apologizing for it. This blessing arrives in the form of a plan and the ability to see things through. That, in itself, is good news, as you sometimes get so excited about a plan, but end up not seeing it to completion.
What makes this day special is how natural it feels. No forcing. No convincing. You move toward joy, and it meets you halfway. Easy peasy! That is the message. Stick with what you want, Sagittarius. Don't let up. Keep it moving.
2. Capricorn

A blessing arrives through recognition, and now that you know the spotlight is on you, you actually perform better. You work well under pressure, Capricorn. During this transit, you find your footing, and it feels good.
This transit delivers confirmation that your recent decisions were smart and timely. You did not take shortcuts, and you totally followed your gut instincts. Now the payoff is beginning to show up in ways that feel satisfying.
3. Aquarius

Venus conjunct Mars activates your voice and your individuality, Aquarius. On January 8, saying what you want actually works in your favor. Don't hold back, and instead, tell it like it is.
A conversation you have with someone goes much better than expected, and this leads to a very positive collaboration. Someone finally understands your position and supports it. In all honesty, this is one of the bigger reliefs you've experienced in a long time.
The message here is clear: Don't downplay your needs or your imagination. If you've got a dream, then it's yours to follow. Now you have someone else to help you along the way.
4. Pisces

January 8 brings you the kind of validation you didn't even know you needed, Pisces. This could look like someone responding to you in a way that pleases you very much, and so much of that comes unexpectedly.
Venus conjunct Mars helps you act on those feelings instead of swimming around in them, not knowing what to do next. This next move could be you expressing affection, setting a boundary, or choosing yourself without guilt.
The universe responds well when it sees that you own your choices and that you stay true to yourself. You're not asking for permission to exist anymore. You're just taking control of your life, and interestingly enough, that's when love enters the picture.
