The thrilling weekend finally comes to an end and a busy week is ahead so let’s see what stars have stored in for you in your weekly Astro prediction by the World renowned Astro writer Joanne Madeline Moore.
Horoscope (January 15, 2018 – January 21, 2018)
ARIES [March 21-April 20]
Have you been insensitive? Resist the temptation to blurt out something inappropriate that unintentionally hurts others. Words are powerful weapons so use them wisely. When it comes to a friend or colleague, take the time to walk a mile in their shoes. Then you’ll have some understanding of what they’re going through. Your patron planet Mars shifts into Sagittarius from Friday until March 17. This boosts your independent, adventurous, boisterous side … and your bossy streak.
TAURUS [April 21-May 21]
Mercury pairs up with Pluto in your education zone mid-week. So it’s the perfect time to meditate, focus your mind, research a subject that has always fascinated you, or enrol in a course of study for 2018. Then Mars moves into Sagittarius (from Friday until March 17) which encourages you to consider more adventurous options. So your motto for the moment is from birthday great, writer Lewis Carroll. “Sometimes I’ve believed six impossible things before breakfast.”
GEMINI [May 22-June 21]
Mercury (your power planet) connects with Pluto, Jupiter and Uranus this week. Which is sensational for creative brainstorming as you research, explore and experiment. But expect some conflict and confusion, as you strive to juggle conflicting needs. With Mars revving up your loved ones zone (from Friday until March 17) it’s time to be proactive and fix partnerships problems ASAP. With a gung-ho Gemini attitude, you can improve your relationships in leaps and bounds.
CANCER [June 22-July 23]
This week there could be some conflict between your professional and personal relationships, as Mercury and Uranus highlight your struggle to achieve ongoing balance at work and home. With Jupiter journeying through your creativity zone (until November 8, 2018) have the confidence to express yourself with extra passion and enthusiasm. As birthday great Mozart declared “I pay no attention to anybody’s praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.”
Lions love to hog the limelight and be the centre of attention. But this week, the focus shifts from you onto the significant people in your life. Perhaps it’s time for your partner or your best friend to shine? You’ll find that putting others first puts a spring in your step and a smile on your dial. But be extra clear in the way you communicate on the weekend. If you are petulant, pretentious or just plain impulsive, then relations with other people will be strained and unpredictable.
VIRGO [Aug 24-Sep 23]
On Wednesday or Thursday, it’s time to don your Virgo detective cap and turn on your x-ray vision, as you zero in on the cause of a problem and come up with a satisfactory solution. Then Mars moves through your domestic zone, from Friday until March 17. So when it comes to family members, make it a priority to do more (with plenty of passion and enthusiasm). As birthday great Lewis Carroll wrote “All that is really worth the doing is what we do for others.”
LIBRA [Sep 24-Oct 23]
You’re longing for some peace and quiet but it won’t happen this week, as the planets complicate personal relationships. So don’t feel slighted if someone shocks you, ignores you, or comes on too strong and is super demanding. Just take it in your languid Libran stride! Mighty Mars moves into Sagittarius from Friday until March 17. If you are proactive about education, community connections and social networking, then positive opportunities will come your way.
SCORPIO [Oct 24-Nov 22]
The planets stir up trouble (and agitate obsessions) in your communication zone. So someone could unsettle you by passing on the scandalous second-hand news. If you’re a smart Scorpio you’ll steer clear of garrulous gossip, especially online. Plus avoid over-reacting when a frustrated family member pushes your emotional buttons. With Mars moving through your money zone (from Friday until March 17) be proactive about finding new ways to boost your bank balance.
SAGITTARIUS [Nov 23-Dec 21]
Thursday favours matters involving travel, education and business. Impulsive Mars charges through your sign from Friday until March 17. So your speedy Sagittarian side will be on full throttle as you power ahead at top speed. But don’t worry if your spontaneous approach results in some messy mistakes along the way. In the words of French writer Colette (who was born on January 28, 1873) “You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm.”
CAPRICORN [Dec 22-Jan 20]
Mercury hooks up with Pluto (in your sign) on Wednesday and Thursday, which increases your concentration, and your tendency to worry and obsess. Calm down and keep positive Capricorn. Make your aspirations for the future as big and beautiful as possible. With passion and plenty of persistence, you can turn your dreams into reality. So your motto for the moment is from birthday celebrity Ellen DeGeneres “Always follow your passion, no matter what.”
AQUARIUS [Jan 21-Feb 19]
Aquarians are in the mood to communicate, network and innovate. And others are finally sitting up and taking notice of what you’ve got to say (both in person and online). Mid-week is the best time to put people (and situations) under the microscope to discover what’s really going on. But with your ruler Uranus squaring Mercury, take care in the way you communicate, especially on the weekend. A rushed (and rather controversial) message could easily be sent to the wrong person!
PISCES [Feb 20-March 20]
Aquarians are in the mood to communicate, network and innovate. And others are finally sitting up and taking notice of what you’ve got to say (both in person and online). Mid-week is the best time to put people (and situations) under the microscope to discover what’s really going on. But with your ruler Uranus squaring Mercury, take care in the way you communicate, especially on the weekend. A rushed (and rather controversial) message could easily be sent to the wrong person!
