The planetary alignments influence all areas of life, including your social plans — so, for maximum mingling heading into the New Year, consider these tips from the cosmos. Here’s a look at your best days for going out in January 2015.
* A waterside setting and a chat about soulful subjects will be important January 17 and 18 when Mars and Neptune join forces in spiritual Pisces. Escape at a music event or inspiring exhibition, or lose yourself in a movie or TV series marathon. Definitely a weekend
to go with the flow!
* It may be tricky to pull off a grand event on January 19. Mercury is almost retrograde, so if you do have a party planned for now, double check details leading up to the night to make sure things run smoothly. Venus and Jupiter face off and you may need to make adjustments to an over-the-top vision.
* The Aries Moon of January 24 and 25 encourages a relaxed approach to social planning. Rather than commit yourself in advance, keep your plans open so you can do what you feel like it when the mood strikes. With Uranus in the mix, flexibility will be important.
* The curious and chatty energy of January 29 may encourage you to spontaneously head out for drinks or meet a friend after work. A spur-of-the-moment plan can turn into a fun night. Venus will square Saturn, so you may need to be honest about time constraints, or leave one event early to keep previously made plans.
