Written in the Stars - Week of Jan. 16


 
 
Mars in Pisces — When the planet of energy and action enters the sign of vision and spirituality, we are motivated to pursue our ideals rather than on practical duties. Life imitates art. Following dreams can alter and inspire your reality.

ARIES
March 21 — April 19
You’ve been offered the gift of a smooth transition, Aries, as you accept your new, improved position. Whether you’re being acknowledged externally with a promotion or award, or you’ve simply decided internally to raise your standards, things are looking good. Your ruler, energetic Mars, has moved into your House of Secrets. This month is an ideal time to trust your own dreams and ideas, but to express and develop them quietly. They’ll be ready for presenting next month, once they’ve incubated.

TAURUS
April 20 — May 20
You’re quite self-sufficient and proud of it, Taurus, but this is a powerfully fortunate time to share your ideas with a group of allies or employees to help make them real. The opportunity for a massive uptick in material security is forecast if you can focus this considerable Martian fire. Your ruler, charming Venus, is snuggled up to intelligent Mercury in your House of Career and Destiny, giving your delivery of these plans extra charisma, warmth and wit. Take this rare astrological opportunity to gather your allies and send a message.

GEMINI
May 21 — June 21
You’re eager to broaden and explore your horizons this week, Gemini, with mental Mercury tripping through your House of Philosophy and Exploration hand in hand with voluptuous Venus. “Big” ideas, far-reaching visions and exotic, new learning experiences will be very attractive now. Meanwhile, powerhouse Mars has rushed into your House of Career and Destiny, firing up your ambition and desire for recognition. It’s excellent to know and acknowledge your own worth, but don’t push authority figures too hard just now.

CANCER
June 22 — July 22
You’re ready for a brand new day, Cancer, and you may be wondering why some others around you don’t seem as eager. This is a great time to take a class, throw yourself into a new hobby or study, or go on a trip somewhere you’ve never been. You’re feeling highly energized and attracted to new and exotic people, places and ideas. There is wealth potential forecast, along with a commensurate amount of work and dedication. Let people move at their own pace, but don’t let it stop you from going at your own, too.

LEO
July 23 — Aug. 22
What if I told you to “get serious” about playing, Leo? Does it sound like an oxymoron? It’s not. There is something that you do naturally — possibly something you were known for as a child — that is creative and playful, and could potentially earn you far-reaching rewards that you can’t even fathom yet. For the next few weeks, you have some golden potential energy in your hands. The right timing, partners, and even investors are moving into your sphere. Put your nose to the grindstone and have something ready to show them.  

VIRGO
Aug. 23 — Sept. 22
Your relationship to your closest loved ones is in sharp focus now, Virgo. Mars has moved into your House of Partnerships, fueling the dynamism of those interactions. It’s possible that you could get into verbal tussles with someone(s) quite close to you, but this doesn’t have to be fruitless or angsty. This energy also gives you the courage and honesty to face any blockages and address them head-on so that all parties can move forward clearly. Make sure everyone gets to speak their piece. Good resolutions are ahead.

LIBRA
Sept. 23 — Oct. 22
It’s time to step it up, Libra. You have a lofty goal (the only kind you have) in mind, and the Universe is doing all it can to signal you that it’s a GO. Mars is charging your House of Work, giving you a ton of energy that would be well spent on your passion project(s). Those projects are blessed by the wit and warmth of Mercury and Venus, who are writing everything from poetry to stand-up in your House of Creativity and Self-Expression. Jupiter blesses your House of Alliances, giving you the support you need. Do your part, then reach out and accept the miracle.

SCORPIO
Oct. 23 — Nov. 21
You’re known for being the mysterious, deep, strong-but-silent type, Scorpio. But you’ve got something to say, and now you’re ready to say it. Whether you “say it” with words, images, clay, crayons or ostrich feathers doesn’t matter. What matters is that you give this unique energy its deserved (and demanded) outlet. There is power behind your words, with your ruler Pluto orating from your House of Communications. Your fearless creativity and snubbing of others’ standards promises greater wealth and personal satisfaction. Dreams come true.

SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 — Dec. 21
You’re known for being often profound, yet rarely serious, Sagittarius. Yet in the last few weeks you may have found that some events have sobered, limited or slowed you and forced you to take stock of yourself. Some may even experience some sadness or even depression, but if you experience this, know that it is just your own internal recognition that certain parts of your life need to change to better serve your happiness and growth. Invest in yourself now to see major leaps and gains.

CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 — Jan. 19
You are the sole of efficiency, Capricorn, and an expert at sniffing out the worthless or unnecessary. So when you find yourself doing less than you’d like, or not fulfilling certain expectations you have for yourself, you feel like a failure. There’s nothing so inefficient as time wasted on punishing yourself. Pick up from where you are and march forward in the here and now. A long-existing cycle is ending and Saturn is teaching you something valuable about your past. Take what affirms and teaches you and purge what’s toxic.

AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 — Feb. 18
You’ve got your mind on your money, Aquarius. Your possessions and resources are of high importance right now — you may find yourself getting in disputes regarding money, payments and ownership rights now. Try to keep a calm head through it all. Venus and Mercury are blessing your House of Appearance and Personality with wit, charm and ideas that people will truly “love.” If you can combine your: dynamic spirit to make money with your beautiful ideas and unique way of communicating, you’ll be unstoppable.

PISCES
Feb. 19 — March 20
If you ever needed to stand your ground, start a quest, or make your mark on the world, now’s the time, Pisces. Fiery Mars has leapt into your first House of Personality, giving you a surge of energy to show yourself to the world. Saturn is assisting you — though sometimes his assistance comes in the form of showing you where you “should have,” or where you went wrong. Don’t be discouraged if such things come up. They pave the way to a smoother, happier, more solid future. “Plan your work, then work your plan.”
