Weekly Horoscopes January 13 - January 19, 2020
/Overall theme for the week: Be honest about your feelings and expectations. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you deserve, even if you don’t have a clear picture of what that is. Keep it simple. Less is more.
This week’s energy demands that we practice and commit to the art of simplicity. Many will require more sleep and rest than usual; honor your body’s need to be still. With Saturn and Pluto separating from their monumental conjunction, many of us will feel raw, soft, and more exposed (open) than usual. This energy will continue to expand and evolve over the next six months as we integrate the long-lasting effects of the Capricorn Solar Eclipse in December and the Cancer Lunar Eclipse that occurred last week.
With Venus entering Pisces on the 13th, sensuality is on the rise. Many will feel a deep pull to express self-love, self-nurturance, and self-assurance on a subtle energy level -- think the law of attraction, synchronicity, telepathy, intuition, soulmate, and twin flame energy. Venus in this placement influences dreams and encourages us to imagine love, beauty, prosperity, and emotional abundance at the highest level. However, with Mercury entering Aquarius on the 16th, this energy must be balanced through independence and safe dosage of detachment. With Venus bursting open our heart chakras, we need emotionally independent Aquarius to keep us on track when Pisces’s selflessness becomes harmful. If you’ve been seeking new ways to express your affection, manifest the love of your life, or attract abundance authentically, the 15th is a good day to see results.
The Libra Last Quarter Moon on the 17th encourages us to evaluate the areas in our life that are imbalanced, especially our relationships with others (but also our relationships to habits, behaviors, places, food, or anything that we have a commitment or attachment to). This lunation also supports diplomacy. If you’ve been on the outs with a lover or unsure about how your current situation fits into your desired future, this is the time to sort it out. For many, this is an opportunity to make a clean break. Make sure to prioritize self-care and reflect on who you are as an individual. We may feel torn between the past and the future on the 18th. But only time will tell. Be patient. There is still a lot unfolding.
Weekly Horoscopes for All Signs:
Aries: The beginning of this week can feel emotionally overwhelming as you integrate the effects of eclipse season. Overlapping timelines and commitments exhaust you, so be honest about what you are capable of -- this isn’t the time to be the superhero. Midweek tends to even out as Venus in Pisces forces you to prioritize your need for rest and seclusion. The Last Quarter Moon on the 17th brings up challenges in your ego and close relationships. Let others take the lead for once -- you don’t always have to be in the driver's seat.
Taurus: Who you are and what you’re doing changes by the minute this week, Taurus, so be open to the unexpected wild ride. A group project or organization receives positive benefits on the 15th. Make sure you compliment your team for a job well done and an innovative spirit. This weekend is tough for you with the Moon opposite your sign. If you feel overwhelmed or fearful (especially about finances), remind yourself how far you’ve come. Change can be scary, but it doesn’t have to be. You are on the right path.
Gemini: You may feel a deep urge to rush through something at the beginning of the week, Gemini, but slow down. You could be feeling a sense of betrayal or agitation from a close friend or business partner, but this will pass. If you feel the need to address it, wait until the 17th. This weekend encourages you to be honest about your feelings without fear or malice. A rebirth in your work or home life will most likely occur on the 18th -- stay open for new ways to advertise and receive.
Cancer: Fast changes are happening for you, Cancer, but you still feel a slow-burning sense of impatience. Instead of staring at the clock or checking your phone for updates every five minutes, try detaching from your source of anxiety for the week and see how that affects you. A sense of competition or entitlement could blind you from the opportunities right in front of you, so be mindful of your ego. The Last Quarter Moon in Libra on the 17th urges you to make amends with a family member and make improvements to your home. Take time to rest and relax this weekend -- you need it.
Leo: If you obeyed your body and your spirit’s call to rest over the past few weeks, you should be feeling a rebirth coming soon. The beginning of the week may feel like a drag but hold on. By the end of the week, you should feel a strong sense of passion and creativity. This is the perfect weekend to tune in and get grounded in your emotions. From this space of safety and security, your intentions and progress will flourish. Family matters may cause tension, but don't fold. Be firm and graceful in your boundaries.
Virgo: A relationship with your significant other, family member or business partner is turning over a new leaf. If you’ve been looking for new avenues to expand or grow your self-confidence or personal income, a fortunate opportunity may come through a friend or partner at the end of the week. As you continue to unfold and explore all this year has in store for you, remember that your emotions control a large part of it. The more you can express and release, the more space you have to build. Take advantage of the mental detox you experience this weekend. Let go of negativity and self-defeating thoughts. You are worthy!
Libra: The beginning of the week is busy for you, Libra. It would be in your best interest to handle all your social affairs then because you won’t have the energy or the care for it midweek. With the Last Quarter Moon in your sign on the 17th, you are wrapping up a personal project or goal. Use this lunation to get clear on your priorities, especially where your money is concerned. If you are looking to invest or launch a project, take the simple route. You don’t need anything but your truth to shine.
Scorpio: Your career and work-life/profession will have you front and center at the beginning of the week. This is the perfect time to expose your diverse talents and skills, especially through the digital world. A desire to grow and take your skills to the next level will increase as the week wanes on but don’t forget about your priorities. It may be best to gather with a close group of friends that motivate you and who are also about their business. The more organized you are, the better you will feel. The end of the week brings an ending to a relationship or self-love issue. Use this energy to clear your aura for a new cycle. Scorpio moons will experience a magnificent rebirth.
Sagittarius: You are most likely coming off a short vacation or weekend getaway. The first few days of the week may feel unusually boring as you worry about what’s to come. But instead of playing the worry game, focus on the small details. What can you do in the present to secure a more grounded and productive future? Managers or leaders may have to deal with an unexpected crisis or personnel issue at work. The Last Quarter Moon on the 17th encourages you to spend time with close friends and your love this week. Use this time to celebrate all you have overcome.
Capricorn: The beginning of the week starts at a low point. You are very anxious and nervous - the fire energy you feel has you restless and uncomfortable. But by midweek, you will be feeling more grounded and confident. Instead of imagining the worst possible outcomes, you will take control of the situation and guide the energy in your highest favor. Think of yourself as the director -- you give the actors (energy/spirit/God) full control, but you are still calling the shots. The end of the week brings a conclusion to your work life. If you are looking to expand your opportunities or move forward in your career, you may meet someone who can open that door. Stay open.
Aquarius: Love is on your mind at the beginning of the week. Coupled Aquarius’ will find this period joyful and playful. Singles may turn to their friends for comfort and affection. But by midweek, your focus will shift to your financial priorities and obligations. A feeling of lack or scarcity may puzzle you, leaving you with a fear of abandonment or disorganization. But instead of reacting negatively or withdrawing into seclusion, write down what needs to happen. If you need a budget, write that down. If you need additional income, credit, or living space, write that down too. The more you can be open to what needs to happen, the less anxiety and stress you will feel.
Pisces: The beginning of the week has you feeling more domestic than usual. You may find comfort in inviting friends over or playing hostess. Just don’t backtrack on your word of letting old lovers or negative energy in. With Venus entering your sign on the 13th, all the attention you give to others will suddenly come crashing back on you. Prepare yourself because if you aren’t careful, you will find yourself giving your power away. The Last Quarter Moon in Libra on the 17th will help you with this. A rebirth in how you express affection, intimacy, and shared power/resources/energy is being cleansed. You should end this weekend feeling more intuitive and awake than usual. Let this magic sink in.
