The full Wolf Moon on January 10 is a Lunar eclipse.
”Eclipses are considered to be great for spiritual practice, but not much else! If you want to learn more about eclipses I have an article posted on my blog.
The eclipse occurs at 25:52 degrees of Gemini at 11:20 a.m. PST on Friday, January 10. * If your rising sign is between 20-30 degrees of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius or Pisces this full Lunar eclipse will have special significance for you!
All of the dual signs -- Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces will be feeling the intense energy of this eclipse! But particularly those who are in Jupiter planetary cycle or sub-cycle or have your rising degree around 25-26 of any of these signs.
Nebulous Neptune is also in the eclipse mix, and this will add some additional confusion on top of Rahu, who also veils the Moon during the eclipse.
Since the Moon is mind, emotions and intuition, it is a great time to do inner work. If you can, hold off on major life changing decisions until a few days after the eclipse.
For all other rising signs, the house that Gemini represents in your birth chart does connect to a very specific area of your life. Don't miss your horoscope with all the details.
The eclipse is visible across the Eastern hemisphere, which includes Australia. Whatever your religion or belief system please say some prayers for all the people, animals and other living beings who are affected by the fires on this continent.

January 10, 2020 Lunar Eclipse Astrology Horoscope
Your all-important ruler Mars is cruising comfortably through its own sign (Scorpio) until early February. You will be ready for significant transformation throughout January since Scorpio holds the area of your birth chart that will drive your desire to change on a very personal lever!
Fiery Mars likes to make quick decisions, so consider your choices carefully before making any significant changes like a dramatically new hair style or color, major wardrobe updates or cosmetic surgeries that you know you may have to live with for a while (or forever!).
Full Moon - Lunar Eclipse January 10, 2020
The Lunar eclipse (full Moon) in Gemini is on January 10, and it will highlight your artistic abilities, especially if you are into any crafts or hobbies, communication, writing and marketing. You may decide you want to explore new vistas. If you have younger siblings, you may be working through some relationship issues with them.
Whatever the case, be sure not to make any major changes a day or two before, during or after the eclipse!

Venus has left the planetary pack behind in Sagittarius, thank goodness! January 9 Venus heads out of serious Capricorn and slides into airy Aquarius. Once in Aquarius, Venus will be rooming with dreamy Neptune for the remainder of the month.
This is a terrific combination for creativity and daydreaming of romantic affairs, but not so great in the work sector of your chart unless you are an artist or a creative. There is some for potential delusion around your personal or business relationships during January. Stay very clear around your communication and boundaries at work in January. Especially since that rascal Rahu is influencing from airy Gemini! Rahu can really ramp up the illusory effect of Neptune with Venus, especially around mid-month. be sure to set the rose-colored glasses aside when it comes to relationships.
Furthermore, passionate Mars will be connecting with Venus in Aquarius and ramping up the relationship energies, which will peak on January 26.
Full Moon - Lunar Eclipse January 10, 2020

What's New with Mercury?
Your all-important ruler Mercury runs the gauntlet the first half of January. Mercury has a meeting first with the advisor Jupiter, the following day with detached Ketu, just before a very key reunion with the King of the planets, Sun.
Flexible Mercury is quickly off to meet and greet serious and hardworking Saturn, and last but not least, obsessive Pluto! To sum it all up, since Mercury is the most easily influenced of all planets, you will feel these planetary encounters on an energetic level! Especially if you are in the main or sub periods of Venus or Sun (Vimshottari Dasha). Fortunately, Mercury is moving fast and the most difficult days which are January 9-11, will go by quickly.
Full Moon - Lunar Eclipse January 10, 2020
Right before Mercury meets Saturn, there will be a (full Moon) Lunar eclipse! Mercury is quite close to the Sun at the time of the eclipse, AND the full Moon eclipse is occurring in your sign of Gemini! This combination is a double whammy. So, whatever you do a few days prior and after the eclipse, be conservative. As I always say, no bungee jumping or bull fighting on those days.
Nothing to freak out about, just pay attention and do not take any risks with your physical person at that time! This eclipse is personal since it is occurring in your first house. Pay close attention to anything that comes up around the eclipse timing and avoid life altering decisions at this time, particularly around relationship status. Especially for those whose rising sign is between 22-29 degrees of Gemini.

Cancer, I know I have been saying this for a while now...but! your day to day has been action packed for the past few months. One by one the planets that are piled in Sagittarius will be moving on down the cosmic road to Capricorn and will free up some time in your daily routine for some romance and fun! Mercury is first to depart Sagittarius on January 13, with Sun right behind Mercury the next day. Then on January 23, for the first time since 2107, Saturn leaves Sagittarius for good. More on Saturn going into Capricorn later in the forecast.
Mars will be in full support of spicing up your romantic life since he is floating through sultry Scorpio and your fifth house of fun, romance and children for the month of January and beyond!
Full Moon - Lunar Eclipse January 10, 2020
Since you are ruled by the Moon, you may be more in tune with the Lunar eclipses than many other zodiac signs. This full Moon eclipse is connecting deep within your subconscious mind. Pay close attention to your dreams a few nights before, during and after the eclipse. Eclipses are a great time for spiritual practice and if you can meditate for even a few minutes on the day of the eclipse it could be a powerful time for you. This is not a “social” eclipse for you either, so you may want to plan some Friday night alone time instead of a date night, whether you are in a partnership or not.

First the solar eclipse and then Sun has to run the gauntlet past Saturn and then Pluto! January 10-13 may feel a bit heavier than usual. If you are tired, just go with it and know that the energy will shift dramatically for you by mid-January!
For the remainder of the month, Sun will be in hard working Capricorn. OK, so NOT the favorite zodiac sign of the Sun, but after Sun’s trip through Sagittarius with Saturn, Pluto and Ketu, plus the eclipse, things are still going to feel a whole lot better than they have. Now that winter solstice is behind us Sun energy is returning and light increasing (at least in the northern hemisphere). Day by day, your main planet Sun will be gaining in strength until we reach Summer Solstice.
Mars is strong in your fourth house of home and happiness for the entire month (and beyond), so make good use of this fiery energy and clear that clutter!
Full Moon - Lunar Eclipse January 10, 2020
The full Moon Lunar Eclipse on January 10 occurs in the zone of your chart related to your earnings, broader groups of friends and business networks and older brothers or sisters, if you have them. If you can, hold off on any important decisions that relate to these areas of your life - such as asking for a raise or bonus, or raising your rates if you are self-employed, or trying to mend a fence with an older until a few days after the eclipse.

Things may feel totally discombobulated at home until Mercury moves into Capricorn just before midnight on January 12. Fortunately, Mercury is moving fast and the most difficult days which are January 9-11 will go by quickly.
Full Moon - Lunar Eclipse January 10, 2020
Just before Mercury meets Saturn, there will be a (full Moon) Lunar eclipse in Gemini! Mercury is also quite close to the Sun at the time of the eclipse. This eclipse happens to fall in the most potent area of your birth chart, Virgo. The house connected to your career and public reputation. If you are contemplating changing jobs or doing a 180 pivot and changing fields altogether, this is not the time to make the decision or the change. If you can, hold off until a few days after the eclipse!

Your all-important ruler, Venus has left the intense energy and the planetary pile-up far behind in Sagittarius, thank goodness! January 9 lovely Venus leaves serious Capricorn behind and slips happily into airy Aquarius.
Once in Aquarius, Venus will be rooming with dreamy Neptune for the remainder of the month. This is a great planetary combination for romance and daydreaming! The icing on this fluffy two layered planetary cake (with pink frosting!) is that Venus and Neptune are particularly strong in the zone of your birth chart connected to romance, creativity, children and trading. There is some for potential delusion around more serious matters like investments and the stock market. You may want to think twice before making a large investment or making huge changes to your stock portfolio, especially from the middle to the end of January. Rahu is also influencing around that time and can add to the illusion/confusion. That said, the Venus, Neptune, Rahu combination is FABULOUS for creative works!
Furthermore, passionate Mars (your relationship planet) will be connecting with Venus in Aquarius and ramping up the relationship energies, which will peak on January 26. As far as romance goes, be on guard and don’t let the rose-colored glasses fog up. There is great potential for deception in relationships at this time!
Full Moon - Lunar Eclipse January 10, 2020
The first eclipse of the decade! This eclipse is occurring in another air sign, so all the air signs (like you Libra!) have the potential to feel this eclipse intensely. All the houses associated with dharma are affected. But the key areas of life the eclipse will highlight is higher learning, your spiritual path, legal contracts, philosophy and father. Fortunately, your ruler Venus is nowhere near the eclipse! This is not a great time to sign a legal contract or enter into a binding agreement. If you have something pending, and if possible, it is ideal to wait a day or two after the eclipse to sign legal documents.

Lucky you Scorpio! Your ruler Mars is visiting your home base sign Scorpio all month! This visit from Mars in Scorpio only occurs about once every two years, so be sure to take advantage of this special trip of Mars in your first house.
There is no better time than now to begin a new yoga or exercise routine, especially now since Mars is THE planet of personal energy. When Mars is in its own sign, it is super strong and supportive for everything it represents. Surprisingly Mars has no influence from other planets for the entire month! This is pure fiery Mars energy in Scorpio. Courage, action, logic – all these qualities are emphasized in January, so a great time to get moving on any new year resolution associated with health and physical fitness!
Full Moon - Lunar Eclipse January 10, 2020
The first eclipse of the year and this one occurs in the area of your chart associated with transformation. Since you are no stranger to this concept Scorpio (nobody does transformation better than Scorpio!) this should be a walk in the park for you. That said, it is always best to wait until a day or two after the eclipse has passed to make any big changes. And you may be itching for some changes with Mars strong in Scorpio.
Patience is not Mars strong suit, so hang in there – your time will come! There may also be some endings around the time of the eclipse that relates to your partners assets, or possibly some surprises from an inheritance, insurance settlement, spousal support or taxes owed for year 2018 or 2019 may surface. Whatever the case, if it is practical you may want to consider delaying big decisions or negotiations around these matters until a day or two after the eclipse.

Sagittarius you have had a full house, literally, for a while now! You may have experienced a circuit overload in the past few weeks, particularly with so much conflicting planetary energy in your sign.
The excellent news is that slowly, one by one, the planetary guests that have been camped out in Sagittarius will be heading down the cosmic highway and into Capricorn. Mercury is the first to leave, then Sun the day after on January 13. Saturn follows on January 23 – more on this powerful shift below. This leaves Jupiter, which is your very important chart ruler, Ketu and Pluto in Sagittarius.
This powerful trio of planetary energy remain in Sagittarius, but they are way less intense (although still not a light/fluffy vibe!) than what has been going on the past few months. Ketu and Jupiter are a very spiritual combination and Pluto influencing these two can really fuel the fire for spiritual progress, especially now that Saturn has moved out of the sign. Now through November 2020 will be an excellent time for spiritual connection and progress, higher learning and foreign travel for spiritual growth or teaching.
Full Moon - Lunar Eclipse January 10, 2020
Jupiter is moving through the same nakshatra during the eclipse, so you may feel this one. Since this Lunar eclipse is occurring in the house of relationships you may experience some shifts in relationship energy, either business or personal, around the eclipse timing. Eclipses are not good times to make life altering decisions, and in this case particularly around relationships. Take a beat. Important conversations if possible are best had with partners after the eclipse, a day or two after if possible.

Out of all twelve signs Capricorn, I am truly most excited to share your forecast for the month with you! Your ruler Saturn is coming home on January 23, 2020, for the next 2+ years. Much more on this later in the forecast.
Until January 23, there are few more hurdles for your ruler Saturn to jump during his final days in Sagittarius. First, he must meet with evolutionary and revolutionary Pluto on January 12. Saturn and Pluto have been doing the tango in Sagittarius for many months due to their retrograde phases keeping them in close proximity. These two have not been cosmic dance partners since 1982!
This meeting is happening in the area of your birth chart associated with the subconscious mind, sleep and the house of isolation. This could signal a deep excavation of your subconscious mind. It is an excellent time to undergo therapy, or practice mindfulness to get at your deepest fears and surrender your conscious mind to release hidden thoughts or trauma, so that you can move forward into 2020 with a lightness of being. As Saturn moves into the first house out of the 12th house, it steps out of the shadows. And working with the shadows in the subconscious mind is part of the process.
Full Moon - Lunar Eclipse January 10, 2020
Just before Saturn and Pluto connect, there is a Lunar eclipse (full Moon) in the zodiac sign of Gemini. You may decide to change up your daily routine or your work schedule over the next six months. Sometimes eclipses enable us to make dramatic shifts in our life, and sometimes they trigger events that seem to come out of the blue. If possible, it is ideal if you can wait until a few days after the eclipse before putting any new plans into place.

Your chart ruler Saturn is getting ready to depart Sagittarius and move into its own sign, Capricorn. More on this later in the forecast – it is a very special time ahead! Meanwhile, Saturn must run the gauntlet past transformative Pluto on January 12, just two days after the lunar eclipse. These two planets have not had a serious meeting like this since 1982! You may experience some significant a-ha moments and put plans in place for transformation that connect to your earning potential, and/or your social and employment networks during the next few weeks.
Full Moon - Lunar Eclipse January 10, 2020
The Lunar eclipse also falls into the zone of your birth chart connected to the money you earn from your career, older siblings, broader social networks. This Lunar eclipse will emphasize the potential for transformation in these areas of your life, especially since Saturn and Pluto are meeting up in this same area of your chart. Be sure to wait until after the eclipse to implement life altering decisions. Especially since nebulous Neptune is influencing this full Moon eclipse – there is some potential for illusion or delusion a few days before and after the event. Moon connects to your work and daily routine, as well as your service to others, so you may feel some impact there as well.

Excellent news! Your chart ruler Jupiter has moved into Sagittarius and its sign of strength and will remain there until November 2020! And once we get Saturn, Mercury, Sun, out of Sagittarius things will look a whole lot brighter and Jupiter can express more of his expansive, joyful nature. There has been a huge pile up of planets in the career area of your chart, which also includes your public reputation.
As a result, you may have been experiencing issues or possibly some changes in your career particularly around the last eclipse on Christmas. Jupiter is also closely connected to spiritual and headless Ketu through January 6 – this is a great time for spiritual practice but not so great for making important decisions. If you can hold off on major decisions until after the eclipse on January 10, that would be ideal!
Full Moon Lunar Eclipse January 10, 2020
The Lunar eclipse occurs in your home sector of your birth chart. This time the eclipse is directly opposite career, where the Solar eclipse occurred in December. Is there some connection to what is going on with your personal happiness or your home life that is associated with the changes that are going on at work? Having the axis of home and career emphasized by this pair of eclipses is significant. Consider avoiding making big changes in your home, like re-decorating or moving, purchasing a home or vehicle on the day or two before or after the eclipse.
