Your January Horoscope Is Booze-Free Too

You’re not one to sit around and let life pass you by, Aries. But this month, you might want to slow your roll. Trying to control everything gets exhausting, doesn’t it? Relax. Let life impress you. Magic—a spark of inspiration—finds you at the end of the month. A new album? A reiki healer? A surprise love interest? Another delightful surprise: Chia Limeade, a good-for-you spin on the margarita, minus the tequila.

Everything is going to click this month. It’ll feel like people are reading your mind. Creepy? Cool? You decide. Be open to new ideas, grounded Taurus. If you’re feeling overwhelmed with all of the resolution and life-goal talk, though, mellow out with a CBD seltzer. Relax, and be receptive even when your gears won’t stop churning.

You’re starting the year focused, which is different for you, juggling Gemini. You’re determined to make a big leap, so do it! And know you won’t be alone. You’re great at thinking outside the box, which is why you’re drinking a creamy glass of Avocado Water. It’s as creative as you, and incredibly satisfying to drink. Smoothies are so 2018.

You’ve got a tough outer shell, secretly sensitive Cancer. But a mushy lunar eclipse is in your stars this month. That means FEELINGS. Intense feelings. Maybe even crying. Just let it out, Cancer. You’ll need comfort, which is where BA's Best Masala Chai comes in. Warm spices calm the nervous system after a chaotic holiday. Make a double batch.

We see how hard you’ve been working, Leo. Now wouldn’t it be great if the rest of the world did too? You’ve been trying to be the best at something, and it’s been hard work. This month, seek balance in your hectic life. You could use a break. Order a large popcorn at the movies and sneak in a bottle of kombucha. Like you, it needs to be handled with care—or else it’ll explode.

You haven’t had enough fun lately, Virgo, and flights this month are cheap. You know what to do. If we can’t convince you to go to Mexico City for a long weekend, at least make a pitcher of Agua de Jamaica. Tart hibiscus is offset by good old fashioned sugar and a squeeze of lime; it’s the sweet escape you need right now.

As an air sign, your mind is often running away with you wherever the wind blows. But this month, you’ll be gravitating toward the things in life that keep you anchored and supported—family, friends, your boots with the amazing arch support. Get down to earth this month with a glass of sweet-sour Cider Switchel made with ginger, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup.

You’re starting off the new year feeling FREE. You’re communicating what you want, and how you feel, loud and clear. We’ve seen your Tweets. It’s a lot. And so is this Chili-Lime Pineapple Soda. This is a drink that’s unafraid to be loud. It has a serious kick. Remember that not everyone can handle the heat, Scorpio!

This month you’re you’re motivated to win. But pick your battles. It might be time to let something go that you’ve grown out of (you know what we’re talking about, right?). Then stir up a Spicy Citrus Refresher, jalapeño-infused orange fizzy drink that says, “thank you, next”—which matches your mood this month, Sag.

You’re in control of your own destiny, Capricorn. But first you need to pare down your list of big life choices. An eclipse in your own sign this month could illuminate an option you hadn’t seen before—keep your eyes and ears open. Another destiny in your control: Brad's Tonic. Sweetness isn’t always in the cards, but this bitter, immune-boosting beverage gets right to the point. More of that in 2020.
11/12Aquarius
Alright Aquarius, it’s time for you to get it together (again). Pick up whatever that thing is you stopped doing in 2019 that made you feel better (writing in your journal, eating fruit, taking walks). Minimize the clutter in your life while drinking a cold can of LaCroix, simple and satisfying. If only everything else was this uncomplicated.
12/12Pisces
You’re good at going with the flow, but don’t give into peer pressure this month. Do what you really want to do, and nix the invites to things you’ll dread, like skiing. You’re feeling a little spicy, so make a pot of potent Gingerade. And since you’re calling the shots this month, you can drink it by the shot for a jolt of ginger zing, sweeten it according to your mood, or drink it cold with seltzer.
