Written in the Stars - Week of January 9

Astrological Tip! — As you may or may not know, you’re probably reading your Sun Sign horoscope. But you have a Rising sign (or Ascendant) that is just as significant. Do a web search to find out yours and read both horoscopes for some extra stellar direction.

ARIES

March 21 — April 19

Time to step into your rightful position as a leader, Aries. It’s very likely that this week you’ll make connections with powerful figures that can help you take bold new steps (your favorite kind.) However, it would be good to meet your creative plans for these groups or organizations carefully despite your desire to barrel in. Take your time. Today and this weekend in particular, you have some extra astrological finesse in your chart to share your vision in a positive, accessible way. There is great potential here. Think long-term.

TAURUS

April 20 — May 20

It’s a breakout week for you, Taurus. By that, I mean that you’ll be wanting to break out of work and home routines, and you may vibrating with so much energy that your skin could break out — but also that some stellar, breakout ideas are forecast! It’s an ideal time to promote yourself or your business, or if you’re not already self-employed in any way, it’s a great time to pour some energy into a brilliant idea you may be keeping to yourself.  Your restless energy craves adventure — go to new places and meet exotic people.

GEMINI

May 21 — June 21

You may find yourself questioning, Gemini, “What’s the meaning of this?” Both in its indignant, rhetorical sense and in a truly inquisitive way too. At times, you may find yourself questioning it quite loudly. Mars is charging through your House of Philosophy, firing up your urge to declare. Declare yourself, your truth, declare your opinion and the attributes which make it pretty-much-fact. You have great opportunities for growth, even some moneymaking ideas. Leaps are ahead, but diplomacy in the present will help clear the way.

CANCER

June 22 — July 22

It’s an unfortunate side effect of long-term relationships, Cancer, that sometimes we lose sight of the beauty in the people and things that matter most to us. If we’re not careful, we can take them for granted and lose them — whether they be prized possessions or connections. Take the time to acknowledge and love those that support you. Count your blessings. More resources are forecast to flow into your life, once Mars helps you experience breakthroughs in your emotional life. Make any “little people” who have helped you along the way feel ten feet tall.

 

LEO

July 23 — Aug. 22

Everything you need for your next big adventure is right inside you, Leo — and it’s looking pretty incredible. Jupiter is filling your House of Personality with vigor, excitement, good fortune and celebration. You’re ready to get your show on the road — but it’s not a one-wo/man show. Mars is setting off fireworks in your House of Partnerships, lighting up the areas of your relationship or partnerships where adjustments are needed. Some cooperation and dedicated communication will work wonders.

VIRGO

Aug. 23 — Sept. 22

What have your dreams been like lately, Virgo? The solar system’s benevolent giant, Jupiter, has moved into your House of Secrets and Awakenings, promising surges of intuition. You may find your workload has increased, or decide that now’s the time to begin a new health regimen. The timing couldn’t be better, with Mars charging through your House of Health and Work. Good things are happening for you behind the scenes and success is promised when you keep your heart light and your hands busy.

LIBRA

Sept. 23 — Oct. 22

Time to get this show on the road, Libra, and what a show your chart forecasts it to be! Mars is charging through your House of Creativity and Fun, giving you a surge of playful fire, the dynamic urge to be exactly who you are and proclaim it out loud. Meanwhile, bountiful Jupiter is bestowing his stellar luck on your House of Friends and Associations. How could you unite the brightest of those around you to make fun, far-reaching dreams come true? If you can harness this dynamic spirit, the possibilities are endless.

SCORPIO

Oct. 23 — Nov. 21

How much do you invest, Scorpio? In yourself, in your work, in your family? These themes are keenly highlighted for you now. You could be feeling restless or moody as Mars lights up shadowy areas in your House of Home and Family. The instinct to defend, protect or enhance your foundation could arise and would be well spent on building yourself up. Jupiter is blessing your destiny and unfolding life path with surprise blessings and journeys. Tend to the home fires now so you can see them from wherever you’re headed.

 

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22 — Dec. 21

You know better than any sign, Sagittarius, that life is a boundless adventure. There are so many places to see and go, and with your ruler, larger-than-life Jupiter, in your House of Philosophy and Journeys, you see and desire them all. This optimism, combined with the energy of fiery Mars lighting up your House of Ideas and Communication, may have you sending your messages to the four winds. As exciting as this is, ironically it would be better to focus your fire more minutely order to reach a wider audience.

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22 — Jan. 19

Normally you’re known as a frugal sort, Capricorn, but you may find yourself tempted to overspend now. Mars is firing up your House of Wealth, increasing your desire for objects and experiences that make you feel “rich.” If you can instead use these urges to fuel your rise in power and true wealth, new and better resources are forecast to arrive. Let your restlessness and desire propel you. Jupiter is blessing your House of Transformation and Others’ Money, indicating that teaming up will pay dividends.

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20 — Feb. 18

If you’ve got an idea or business plan in mind, Aquarius, you couldn’t ask for a better time to kick things off. Mars is heating up your House of Personality for the next few weeks, giving you more physical energy, inspiration and urge to express your unique ideas. All this fire could make you seem a bit pushy, so be careful not to bulldoze over others, particularly partners. Jupiter is blessing your House of Partnerships with luck and money, so you could receive wealth or broad recognition by working closely with a colleague or lover.

PISCES

Feb. 19 — March 20

You have a unique opportunity now, Pisces, to link your conscious and unconscious mind, to let knowledge and intuition harmonize in the ways that lead to truly genius ideas and insights. Mars is burning in your House of Secrets, burning away the aspects of the past that need to be cleansed, and illuminating those that need your focus. Meanwhile, Jupiter blesses your House of Work and Health, saying you can bring these ideas into the tangible world. Take care of your body and hone your spirit to see dramatic new gains.
