January is a good time to connect with friends and organizations that are all potential leads to finding a desirable partner. The Sun is in your 11th House of Groups until January 20, increasing your chances of finding happiness with someone when you have common interests. Volunteer work is a particularly positive environment for advancing personal interests now. Besides, it's great when your idealistic and romantic interests are aligned.

A surprising twist in your personal life could be triggered by a conjunction of expansive Jupiter and unpredictable Uranus in your sign on January 4. This is also the day of a New Moon Solar Eclipse so the planets are popping in unexpected ways. If you're feeling restricted within a current relationship or bullied by anyone, this is an excellent time to discover better ways to be. While your imagination can rocket you into worlds far beyond this reality, there may be important clues to new ways to find happiness within these images.

Yet if you're stuck on someone in a faraway place or who exists in a fantasy, the Full Moon on January 19 is likely to produce a powerful wakeup call. If the gap between where you are and what you want seems great, remember that once you have a sense of what's best for you, you're on the way to fulfillment. Sweet Venus enters your 10th House of Public Responsibility on January 7 to garner attention while you're taking care of business. Doing a good job (at work or anywhere else) with a joyful attitude turns heads in your direction.
