It’s the end of the month! January is such an important month because it’s the first month of the year. It’s the first time that you get to put your new year’s resolutions to the test and see how you do. So, reflecting on January and any progress you have made is definitely important at this time. However, if you didn’t achieve everything that you wanted to yet-or even get off to a good start-don’t fret! Maybe you just need a little shift in cosmic energy to get the ball rolling. After all, sometimes the planets can help us, but other times, they can hold us back.
So what’s in store for the next month? Well, to close off January and kick off February, Mercury will be forming a square aspect with Uranus on January 31. Here’s what that could mean for you.
- You might receive some shocking news.
We usually think of big cosmic events like an eclipse as the events that can cause the biggest changes. We also usually associate such events with major news or shifts in our life. However, smaller and less frequently discussed aspects like Mercury square Uranus can also cause these types of occurrences. So what kind of news can you expect? It will typically be something that might cause you to change upcoming plans, so keep an eye on your schedule!
- You’ll be easily excited-but easily distracted as well.
For whatever reason, this particular aspect can generate a ton of enthusiasm. You’ll find yourself in a good mood most of the time, which is great! But your mind will probably wander as well. So don’t schedule anything too important (for example, business meetings) during this time if you can help it. Of course, it might be unavoidable, but try to practice mindfulness when possible!
- Communication mishaps are likely.
Ah, we all know how Mercury can mess with communication! But if you’re prepared for it, you can lessen the impact. It is what it is. Do your best to be clear and concise when speaking to other people, especially about sensitive topics. And keep your written correspondence short and sweet-don’t send people novels in e-mails and texts. This will make confusion even more likely, so try to get to your points quickly so that is less chance of a misunderstanding occurring. Some points might still be miscommunicated, but just do your best!
- Remain flexible and open minded.
This aspect can have effects that are similar to Mercury retrograde-and we all know how much everyone loves Mercury retrograde, right? Well, just like with Mercury retrograde, you just have to do your best to ride it out. Don’t let any setbacks during this time discourage you, because the effects of this aspect will only last for a few days at most. Remember, everything is temporary, so any difficulties that you face under this aspect are not meant to last. Keep your head up, your schedule open, and your voice steady-and you’ll be just fine!
