Thursday's transit shows us where we've grown, and where things went a little slower than we wanted. We get to see how patience pays off. This is Day One of the transformative process we are starting this year. For these astrological signs, what changes now do so from the inside out. We are not becoming someone new. We are improving on what we've already got. We have the tools and the hope. All systems are a go!
1. Gemini

Jupiter retrograde asks you to review a long-standing obligation. Is your heart really into this, or have you been doing what you think you should do, as opposed to what your heart tells you to?
On January 1, you understand that something you once wanted to happen no longer has the same kind of allure for you. So, why bother trying to make it happen? This is when everything changes for you. That acknowledgement is the catalyst that pushes you into a powerful new era.
Letting go of that pressure restores your mental energy. You begin the new year feeling more self-directed and less defined by other people’s needs. Find yourself in that, Gemini, and follow that bliss.
2. Cancer

For you, Cancer, Jupiter retrograde reshapes how you feel about being responsible. Because you're a person of great integrity, it's sometimes hard for you to say no to the things in your life that take up a little too much of your time.
On January 1, you see that a lot is going on that isn't necessarily your burden to bear. In fact, you might be bearing it on someone else's behalf. That's not what you want, Cancer. Not anymore.
You want and need change, and nothing less than total transformation will do. You learn that self-care does not require sacrifice at your own expense. You aren't being selfish. You're being proactive. This is, after all, your life.
3. Aquarius

Jupiter retrograde works quietly for you, Aquarius, but there's a lot going on in that silence. On January 1, you recognize that your sense of independence has matured. This means you can now pursue some of the things that once scared you off.
You love the idea of a powerful transformation, but a lot of that has gone to you admiring it in someone else. Now, it's your turn to change, and you know it. You're also ready to make it happen and enter a powerful new era.
Now, Aquarius, it's time for you to step into the year with greater self-trust, clearer priorities, and a renewed commitment to building something that lasts. Can you do it? Yes, you can! There's no doubt about that.
