January is shaping up to be an excellent travel month. All planets are direct until January 23. After January 23, retrograde Mars puts the brakes on a bit. The only other note is that Jupiter, planet of expansion, is in Taurus, sign of earthy determination. Travel in general might feel like just a bit of a chore, something to be gotten through rather than an easy doorway to new possibilities. But the spirit-opening possibilities of travel by foot or animal (ox!) will be enhanced. Travel in the service of business expansion, artistic pursuits, agriculture or nature in general is also favored. All times are PST (GMT -8).
