Susan Miller's full horoscope for January 2017 for Aquarius

After a busy December filled with social activities, you are about to enter a very slow-paced January. You don't have to resume your lightning-fast efficiency as soon as you return to work, because Mercury will be retrograde until January 8, so you still have time to think and allocate your schedule. Sometimes, Mercury retrograde is a good thing because it allows you to take things slow and take it easy. Also, you never know when Mercury might strike. I'm always careful as I sit in my favorite coffee shop, hard at work on the horoscopes for my site (I keep changing my seat with each sign I write about). I always stay at Dunkin Donuts because I like the counter there and can look directly out onto the boulevard because it's low enough. You can see every corner outside from the windows of their house. I always keep my coffee about 10 inches from my computer.

Two days ago, while I was writing about my Libra horoscope, a man quickly walked up to the counter and slammed my computer hard to the right, knocking over my coffee. I grabbed the cup immediately, but in my haste, I knew I was in trouble. The store manager knew what was going on and brought me tissues, but I said nothing to the gentleman who seemed oblivious to the "disaster." I immediately hailed a taxi to go to the Apple store. Long story short, my computer needed to be repaired at a cost of nearly $1,200 and took two weeks to repair (Apple said it might not take that long, but it should be close to it). I couldn't wait even an hour, so I bought another one on the spot. The new laptop cost me $3,000 because I needed a lot of memory, 5 new power cords (because I need one in each suitcase and in each room where I write), new Microsoft products, and of course an extended warranty from Apple. I'll fix that one-year-old Apple laptop that got broken. The hard drive inside is still good and not damaged, but the monitor needs to be replaced.

I went home and looked at my feet and I was wearing a pair of ballet-style flats, but one was red and one was black. How did I do it? I think I might be overworked. I touched my ears and found that one of my earrings was missing. Then I opened a box that had just arrived from the bookstore, containing a book that I had purchased myself so that I could wrap it up as a gift for my brother-in-law. I was curious why it took so long to arrive, now I know. I mistakenly ordered the Spanish version instead of the English one. I ordered some makeup brushes for myself but sent them to my daughter Diana in Los Angeles by mistake. She was so happy to receive the brushes and she said, “How did you know I always wanted these?” I laughed because how would I know? Of course, I'd love for her to take them. These things all happened on the same day. Can I survive Mercury retrograde? I can't be sure! If you have a story like this, share it with me on Twitter. The next Mercury retrograde is from April 9 to May 3.

January comes slowly, as many planets are in your twelfth house. This theme is caused by the new moon on December 29th, which is a very good new moon and occurs at 8 degrees Capricorn. This new moon will be helped by Mars, who is in your house of money, so at the beginning of this month, you may make money through a new project or by selling something you own. It is also possible that you will sell your innovative ideas early in the month because you have the help of Neptune, the planet of promotional art, who is also in your house of wealth. Now is also a good time to reflect on what you hope to achieve in the coming year. Classical astrologers felt it was important to set some new goals before a new birthday year. Your birthday is coming soon, perhaps as early as the end of this month.

The 12th house rules the subconscious mind, so now is a great time to change or drop a habit. You can seek help from a coach or special group, or visit a therapist, and then approach your birthday with plenty of support. Your intuition will also be very strong this month, so be sure to feel your instincts, as all your hunches exist for a reason. You may have been spending more than usual lately, starting on December 19 when Mars entered your house of money. You might say that everyone spends a lot of money during the holidays. Yes, that's true, but Aquarius spends more than any other sign, except Leo, and they're in the same situation as you. This situation will improve toward the end of the month, as Mars will enter Aries on January 28, tempting you to take a short weekend trip to rest and rejuvenate.
