Straight Stars
January 18 to 24, 2018
Thursday is a good day to review or renew the contract (actual, personal, or karmic in nature). Something added or subtracted makes the go and get more worthwhile.
Venus and the sun (as of Friday) now hit refresh in the sign of Aquarius. Expect everything to do with money, politics, relationships, and social trends to keep the daily spin on a live-action track.
When Venus tenants Aquarius, we gain an opportunity to relate and evaluate in a more objective way. The sun in Aquarius, the life-giving force, awakens and energizes creative potentials. Together, sun and Venus can spark great synchronicity and fresh options. Then again, when Aquarius is the flavour du jour, anything goes. This sign is always good for a shakeup or a surprise.
Before we reach the intensity dial, here comes the weekend. The Pisces moon sets an easygoing backdrop. Chill out with a lover or friend, or on your own. Enjoy romance, movies, or music; catch up on rest and relaxation as you see fit. If you are signed up for work or feel inspired to dive into a creative project, that’s all good too.
Aim to hit it fresh Monday/tuesday. Clean, fast, and straightforward is the best way to tackle it. Wednesday, there may be something more to process, discuss, or straighten out, but overall you should feel you are on the gain.
The stars are on a relatively smooth and productive track for the week ahead, but know that the first eclipse of the year will soon up the ante. January 31 dishes up a superfull-moon lunar eclipse in Leo.
ARIES March 20–April 19
Your social life and moneymaking prospects gain a boost from Venus and the sun in Aquarius. Both also stimulate fresh ideas and interest levels. Friday/saturday, go with the flow. Creativity, romance, or relaxation is your best bet. Monday/tuesday, the Aries moon has you on a fresh refuel. Wednesday, a message conveyed, a talk, a first impression, an intention, or action taken hits the mark.
TAURUS April 20–May 20
A new approach, attitude, or avenue could be the ticket. Whether a little or a lot, don’t hesitate to try on a new look or to take on something fresh. It should feel like a natural progression or fit. Venus and the Aquarius sun will dish up fresh prospects and better success odds. Put effort into upgrades and the good-for-you stuff.
GEMINI May 21–June 21
Thursday/friday finishes the workweek on a smooth-running and social track. Hear the call; heed the call. Venus and the sun in Aquarius perk up pleasure, interest, and reward levels. Perhaps there’s something new to share, try, or explore. Time can evaporate this weekend. Monday, hit it fresh and full swing first thing. Wednesday requires more time, patience, or investment.
CANCER June 21–July 22
Have you felt thwarted by another or under added pressure because of circumstances or time on the move? Four planets in Capricorn have likely put a more serious spin on your reality. No matter how it initially plays out, look to Venus and the sun freshly into Aquarius to benefit you. An added degree of separation allows for a more objective perspective.
LEO July 22–August 22
Thursday is a good day to connect, scout around, or put yourself out there. This next week is too. Venus and the sun in Aquarius deliver a fresh wind to your people sector. They also boost money prospects and creativity. Now or over the next couple of weeks, an important someone or key matter (social, professional, financial, or romantic) consumes more attention.
VIRGO August 22–September 22
Where the mind goes, the heart and the body will follow. Renew your commitment to health and wellness and to bettering your best both on and off the job. Venus and the Aquarius sun can introduce fresh and/or better avenues, opportunity, and creative solutions. Easy does it best through the weekend. Monday to Wednesday, you should hit an upswing.
LIBRA September 22–October 23
Aim to be an attention getter and claim your 15 minutes. For the next several weeks, Venus and the sun in Aquarius enhance prospects in all areas and help you to shine your best. Over this coming week, the stars keep to a smooth and productive track, but soon something added or unexpected will rev up career, finances, personal life, or love life.
SCORPIO October 23–November 21
Venus and the Aquarius sun make for an appropriate time to push the refresh button on home base and family matters. Yes— renovate your living space, your lifestyle, your attitude, or something more. Congratulations if you are welcoming a new addition to the family or have a new address in the works! Thursday through Sunday, aim for ease and stay comfortable.
SAGITTARIUS November 21–December 21
Something fresh or new tossed into the mix can do the trick quite nicely Thursday/friday. Easy and relaxed does it best for the weekend. Monday/tuesday, the Aries moon picks up the pace. You should feel a physical-energy boost, too. As of mid–next week, watch for a fresh idea or trend or for someone to rev it up.
CAPRICORN December 21–January 19
A contract renewal can be well timed Thursday/friday, especially if you can incorporate a change in your favour, such as a better rate or a monetary increase. On the other hand, don’t hesitate to invest/spend more to get what you want. Relax for the weekend. Plan to hit it fresh and full-on as of Monday.
AQUARIUS January 20–February 18
Thanks to Venus and the sun showing you off in your best possible light, your birthday month gets off to a good running start on Friday. The weekend goes easy on you too. Monday begins an active but mostly smooth-running week. Get ready for more action and excitement. Another super full moon (it’s also an eclipse) is here soon!
PISCES February 18–March 20
On the go or kicking back, social, romantic, or on your own, Friday through Sunday, it’s all good. The moon travelling through fluid Pisces helps you to make the most of the moment. A productive week lies ahead. Feel something starting to brew? A potential is soon to bear fruit. Keep on watch.
