Astrology Forecast for Jan. 11-25
By Cortney Litwin / Staff Writer
It’s all about love when affectionate Venus teams up with the sun in commitment-oriented Capricorn on the 13th, a terrific opportunity for meeting someone you’d like to grow old with; or, if you’re happily attached, renewing your vows. Ardent energies start to sizzle on the 14th during the Mars-Jupiter opposition in steamy Taurus-Scorpio, when the temptation to overindulge in sensuality and spending is intensified by the full moon lunacy on the same day. Next, Mars falls under the deceptive charm of Neptune on the 17th-18th, when actions should be undertaken with eyes wide open. Fortunately, clarity resurfaces when the sun and Mercury transit into truth-seeking Aquarius on the 20th and 22nd.
If you know your rising sign from your time of birth, read that also.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Mid-January is an excellent time for socializing with colleagues to broaden your career, if you can channel your enthusiasm and sidestep financial offers that seem too good to be true. The full moon energizes your home life.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Your ideas can turn prophetic during the full moon, if you can sort through the surrounding confusion to grasp the nugget of clarity regarding love, finances and career. After the 20th, your career gets a boost of positive energy.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Be on the lookout for financial opportunities, especially during the full moon. After the 20th, creativity and communications soar, and education is emphasized as well. A travel bug may be buzzing around you then, too.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Trysts with your sweetie are especially energized during the full moon (in your sign), when emotions shift into high gear. Enjoy the enchantment, but avoid a rose-colored-glasses scenario by keeping at least one foot on the ground.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Your health sector continues to be emphasized, especially during the full moon. After the 20th, romantic shenanigans take over your (slightly fuzzy) focus, so concentrate on clarity. A business partnership may materialize then, too.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Romantic tête-à -têtes escalate, especially during the full moon. Just keep grounded to counteract Neptune’s tricky influence. Communications also soar mid-month, so promote yourself! Double-check plans if traveling.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
An urge to beautify your home is the focus during a mid-month Venus influence, which may inspire some home entertaining as well. Get creative! The full moon energizes your career, and romance sizzles after the 20th.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You’re wired for action in your personal life mid-month, but watch out for Neptune’s bewitchments (don’t let your expectations run amok). The full moon energizes education as well as long-distance communications and travel.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
The full moon heightens moneymaking opportunities, and Venus urges socializing to advance your prospects. Your personal life, too, gets a double dose of cosmic energy mid-month. Communications escalate after the 20th.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Venus showers you with romance mid-month, so express what’s in your heart. The full moon, too, energizes your personal charisma and powers of attraction. Moneymaking is the focus after the 20th.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Memories of a past romance or issues about love may surface mid-month, especially during the full moon. Pay attention to your intuition, too. You come back to the present with some sizzling creativity after the 20th.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
A friend may offer wisdom or an opportunity mid-month, when groups are also emphasized. The full moon, too, energizes your social life, which includes giving a boost to romance. Just keep your expectations in check.
