This pending week contains a drastic shift on January 20, starting the zodiacal month with a true cusp Sun-Moon conjunction! The “controlled expansion” theme gives way to Neptune in his dominion, energized by a close conjunction to Mars, dominating the transits after Sun enters Aquarius. Spirituality, merging with a greater collective, and other Neptunian themes will characterize the feel of the transits.
Neptune also changes from the fifth to sixth degree of Pisces this week. The current Sabian symbol for Neptune as I write this is “Officers on dress parade” and the Sabian symbol associated with Neptune will shift to one of my favorites, “A cross lying on rocks”. Neptune’s powerful imagery coalesces from a display of authority to directly alluding to the Christ energy. A week to consider how personal sacrifice and awareness of the source has a role in your life, with humanitarian causes, friendships, and aspirations that you wish to work towards in the mix.
What might this week portend for you? Consider your Sun sign and rising sign/ascendant as well.
Aries
Saturn and Neptune are influential for you this week. While the two titans are rather intimidating – one is restrictive, the other is nebulous and vague – the symbolism of the two together for you can be most rewarding. Crafting a vision (Neptune) of what you want in life can help make your material (Saturn) goals a reality. You are good at being assertive, directing your energies, and initiating various activities, and you will need every bit of that this week. Be aware of unpleasant past issues possibly surfacing on January 16 and 17 (however, these days are also prime for considering past lives if you have an interest). January 22 is an opportunity to use your expertise or specialty to great effect. The strong Neptune influence demands assessing situations with all of the facts and verifying various sources of information. Just for Aries: the need to “dive in” to projects and activities this week is strong; perhaps this is better done at the beginning of the week.
Taurus
The first half of the week is opportune for assessing and working towards your financial goals. January 16 to 18 is also your opportunity use your creativity to impress the boss, work group, or other people you are associated with. Overall this can be a productive and enjoyable week for you, with Jupiter’s optimism and expansive influence tapping you on the shoulder all week (the strongest day for Jupiter’s influence is January 19). The week might also feel abrupt, with a stop-and-start type communication with other people, but thought and logic can still serve you better than average all week. Your emotional base is stronger than average on January 21, with the unconscious influencing a need to be unique, enjoy friendships, and manifest the fresh Aquarius energies brought by the Sun changing signs. Just for Taurus: pets might demand a lot of attention from you this week.
Gemini
An electrical connection to Uranus revs up your information gathering and thought through the first half of the week. “Collaborative thought” might also be an appropriate keyphrase all through this week. Increased productivity, especially under the umbrella of organizational efforts, is also promising from January 19 until the end of the week. Jupiter’s influence this week can make your activities fun and thinking “abundance” in various areas of your life might help you progress towards your various goals. Your ruling planet goes retrograde this week. With all of the usual buzz about Mercury retrograde, just remember to slow down and use your power of thought to help ameliorate topsy-turvy situations, especially those involving technological malfunctions. Just for Gemini: can you find an advantage in how you present yourself this week?
Cancer
Saturn tends to grind on you until the very end of the week. Bear in mind that your ruling planet, the Moon, and Saturn are a planetary pair. The past might feel more important than usual this week, and your powerful emotional base can have more of a structured and disciplined feel with Saturn’s influence. The “controlled expansion” theme stretches a bit farther into the week for you than the other signs, something to consider in light of your various goals and projects. Also consider, what does your initiating Cancer Sun want to start fresh or new after the New Moon on January 20? Overall a more serious than average, but potentially productive, week. Just for Cancer: how might you multiply your efforts after the New Moon this week?
Leo
January 17 and 18 are days of potentially strong endurance, but be aware of expending large amounts of energy for negligible returns. The endurance theme works well with January 18 and 19 – with a great deal of force and energy available, especially as part of a collective effort. The potentially best day of this busy week for you is probably January 20. Efforts leading up to January 20 might increase your productivity and accomplishment, and even your popularity! Saturn might start dragging you down a bit, especially at the end of the week, but with the emphasis in the transits shifting to Neptune, this might work to your advantage. Structure and authority help cut through Neptune’s fog. Just for Leo: how can your strong core self solve various problems this week?
Virgo
By the end of the week, Pluto will be the only planet in an earth sign. Perhaps this is most significant for you as one of the earth signs, with your ruling planet going retrograde this week. How will you navigate this week, paying special attention to “underground” or behind the scenes types of issues? You strong logic and attention to detail can help you address various challenges this week. Relationships, compromise, and finding common ground are emphasized for you this week. You might also feel more spontaneous and creative around January 18 until the end of the week. Your adaptive Virgo qualities are pronounced on January 16, a fortunate boost in dealing with what appears to be a choppy week. Just for Virgo: Need some recharging this week? Try escaping with a good book!
Libra
The Sun shifting into an air sign this week heightens the emphasis on your own airy sign. It reinforces the “collaborative thought” theme for you and also emphasizes socializing with groups and organizations. Perhaps public speaking or giving a presentations to groups is in the cards for you this week, or month. Relating to and balancing with other people is a strong theme for you, but the Aquarius energy emphasizes independence and breaking free, so a paradox is surfacing for you this week. Talking out issues can be of great use and is also emphasized for you this week. Spontaneous persuasion could also be of benefit around January 16 to 18. Just for Libra: how might you adapt or change focus quickly this week?
Scorpio
The shift in emphasis to Neptune in the transits this week affects you more than average, perhaps, with your Sun in a watery sign. This week has a potential for you expressing yourself, generating creative ideas, and aligning with various causes and groups. However, this week might also bring various disruptions or unusual situations. Last week’s theme of “past decisions, future choices” is waning, but still influential for you. A somewhat heavy and intense week, but your Scorpio Sun would have it no other way! This week is also prime for considering your spiritual direction. Just for Scorpio: how will you deal with the give and take in relationships this week?
Sagittarius
Your ruling planet will no longer be the only retrograde planet by the end of the week. How interesting that Mercury and Jupiter will be the retrograde planets in the heavens. This might portend a renewed desire to combine logical and rational thought with abstractions and higher learning. So an intellectual subject area you enjoy could show a renewed spark of interest for you this week. The strong relationships theme in the transits for you is accentuated this week and strongest on January 19. Relating to other people, or significant others, in a friendly way, is a boost for you this week. The change in emphasis to the watery Neptune in Pisces this week places a focus on your ability to adapt to various situations to your benefit. Just for Sagittarius: with the Neptune prominence returning, be certain that the advice and wisdom of other people is sound.
Capricorn
Issues of deep karma from the past appear to be front and center for you this week. Old past issues, rearranging or reframing pieces of serious issues, and personal history might all be prominent this week. How might you benefit from consciously working through past issues, in order to move forward in your life? The watery Neptune will make himself known starting on January 20. The struggle with Neptune can be of great benefit: the compassion, creativity, and inspiration of the powerful Neptune can be experienced when your practical, disciplined Capricorn Sun is determined to create a structure to meet Neptune. The end of the week, January 22, is a good day to consciously reflect on the previous work and experiences of this week. Just for Capricorn: how might you direct dedication to work and career this week?
Aquarius
Your ruling planet moves into your sign this week – happy solar return to Aquarius friends! The karmic past is a heavy theme for you this week, yet the opportunity to consider your future direction is quite beneficial. Progress regarding various goals and projects might feel delayed, yet again, this suggests an opportunity, for example, to ensure that everything is in place before you move forward. The beginning of the week is also a last chance to experience the “instant spiritual insights” theme you’ve enjoyed for a while. Close relationships continue to have a harmonious feel, generally speaking, and your relationships and life in general contain a possible additional benefit of new perceptions and intellectual inspiration. Just for Aquarius: how will you satiate your need for excitement this week?
Pisces
Neptune’s renewed prominence in the heavens probably affects you the most, of all the signs. Enjoying creativity and inspiration, even in the most mundane areas of life, is possible for you, as well as peak experiences involving metaphysics or new heights of inspiration and creativity. A refreshed sense of energy and drive might also be clearly felt in your life this week. As your sign is the last in the zodiac, a sense of drawing various cycles in your life to completion (again, from the most mundane to the most profound) is influential for you this week. Even with Neptune so prominent, you still have the opportunity to feel grounded and focused, especially when you partake in various activities to help you stay “down to earth”. Overall a potentially powerful and productive week. Just for Pisces: feeling a lot of joie de vivre this week?
