January 12, 2017 

Aries 

March 21 – April 19 

Although you may be eager to fully engage with your responsibilities, another part of you could feel like running away. This might be a time when you'd prefer to do your own thing rather than attend to business matters or ongoing chores. The key is to pace yourself and arrange for times to get out and have some fun. The January 12 Full Moon might be better handled if you take some time out for a massage or other health treatment.

 

Taurus 

May 21 - Jun 20 

The cosmos suggests that there's nothing to fear from striking out into the unknown. However, as someone who likes security and enjoys the pleasures of a comfortable home and steady routine, you might find the present picture a little disconcerting. At the same time, you could be excited about the possibilities it holds for you. With a focus on expanding your horizons, events may conspire to take you in a new direction. You don't have to rush, though. A leisurely pace is just fine.

 

Gemini 

May 21 - Jun 20 

Although you might enjoy the freedom to flit around wherever you want, the cosmos may have other plans for you. With the present picture revealing a powerful emphasis on a more intense sector of your chart, you might need to face issues that involve some powerful emotions. And while it would be easier to do anything but confront them, once you do, you might find that layers of anxiety and buried tension begin to peel away. Easy does it, though!

 

Cancer 

 Jun 21 - Jul 22 

With a Full Moon developing in your sign this week, emotions may have a bigger influence than logic over your decisions. In addition, you may feel someone else is pulling the strings and controlling aspects of your life that you'd prefer to manage yourself. However, the Full Moon phase can be a time when you overreact. When you do approach this person, you'll want to do so in a measured and thoughtful way. Wait until the more intense feelings subside.

 

Leo 

Jul 23 - Aug 22 

Although you might like to drop your responsibilities and take some time off, it may not be possible just yet. However, this won't stop you from dreaming. With a very lovely link between expansive Jupiter and restless Uranus, you may enjoy dwelling on thoughts of a vacation that can offers you a change of scene. You may insist that you don't have time, but if you delegate some of your tasks, you could find that you can do it after all.

 

Virgo 

Aug 23 - Sep 22 

If a creative project has been subject to delays lately, then Mercury's forward motion can begin to make a difference. And if you have responsibilities at home that demand a lot of your time and energy, a positive alignment hints that you may already have found a way around this. This is good news for you, especially if you have your heart set on making one idea a complete success. Indeed, it may feel like a burden is gradually lifting from your shoulders.

 

Libra 

Sep 23 - Oct 22 

You and another may clash over very different ideas on how to tackle a family situation early this week. But with Mercury now resuming its forward motion, it should be easier to discuss this in a more rational and productive way. However, the Full Moon could whip up emotion and drama, so there's a chance that one or both of you could overreact. Allow time for your feelings to settle. It will be easier to find common ground if you do.

 

Scorpio 

Oct 23 - Nov 21 

Plans you thought were set in stone could be disrupted, yet you might be pleased about this. If you must attend to responsibilities, you could feel like rebelling and doing your own thing instead. And with the Full Moon encouraging you to leave your comfort zone, sticking with the status quo may seem like the more boring option. However, you might need to knuckle down and get those things done. You'll be free to enjoy yourself once they're out of the way.

 

Sagittarius 

Nov 22 - Dec 21 

A focus on your home and family zone can be a time to stand back from life and enjoy spending time with those you love most. While you may have big plans in the offing, you should still take the opportunity for some nurturing and self-care. It seems this is your time to unwind, enjoy a massage or spa treatment, and generally be good to yourself. Those projects you must finish will still be there after you've had a chance to recharge.

 

Capricorn 

Dec 22 - Jan 19 

What you want and what your family wants may be two different things. This week, others could expect to be involved in key discussions regarding important decisions. And with a Full Moon complicating events and possibly creating some drama, emotions may be running high. However, this could allow for a release of tension. Once everyone has had their say and things have calmed down, you may find that you can find a harmonious solution that works for all.

 

Aquarius 

Jan 20 - Feb 18 

Your instincts can play a part in helping you make the right decisions. With head and heart potentially clashing at the start of the week, you may feel pulled in two directions. Factor into this a rush of emotion caused by the Full Moon and you may find it almost impossible to know what your next steps should be. If you wait until you feel calmer and more centered, you may be able to hear the voice of your intuition loud and clear.

 

Pisces 

Feb 19 - Mar 20 

You should feel in your element with both Venus and Mars in your sign enhancing your vitality and perhaps your confidence. And with your social life still very active now, you could be the star attraction at any event as your charisma sparkles more than usual. Go easy with the cash if you're out and about in the coming days, as the feel-good factor could encourage you to spend more than you can comfortably afford, especially after an expensive holiday season.
