January 2016 Pet Business Astrology Forecast
Every New Year brings a promise of new beginnings and a fresh start. This year is no exception.
But before you can step in and embrace the promise of the year about to unfold, it is essential to tie up loose ends. As this New Year begins, Mercury, Moon and Mars are about to change signs. When a planet is hovering in the last degrees of a sign, the Universe is pushing for completion of unfinished business. It is also the time to commit if a given project has been in limbo.

Oftentimes there is tension between the Establishment vis-a-vis the rebels and innovators, but the Saturn/Uranus trine that will be in effect through the first four months of the year, suggests that the two sides can play nice and find common ground.
