Weekly Horoscope for Jan. 19-25

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday: the Moon is in Libra
Mars in Cancer is square the Moon in Libra and this could indicate a lot of contentious energy since Mars is all about action, even and often negative action, and the Moon rules emotions. Some feelings could be very nice because of the Libra location and others could be devastating or at the very least hurtful. Take it easy if at all possible and perhaps wear your invisibility cloak if you see something bad headed your way.

Wednesday, Thursday: the Moon is in Scorpio
Two asteroids, Juno & Vesta, are also in Scorpio right now. Juno rules partnerships, often love interests but business or any other agreements as well. Vesta rules devotion, what one is authentically committed to for the long term. Assess your values to make sure that you are aligning yourself with what (or who) is really good for you.

Friday, Saturday: the Moon is in Sagittarius
Venus in Pisces is square the Moon in Sagittarius and square aspects (connections between planets) indicate the potential for lots of obstacles or challenges during the end of this week. Pick the ones you can dispense with quickly and easily. (Neither Pisces or Sagittarius have the type of astro energy that indicates struggling for a long time.)

When reading this weekly horoscope, check your astrology chart to find which house (section of your chart) has the current Moon sign on the cusp (the beginning edge) & apply forecast information to that area of your life as well. For example, if the Moon is currently in Leo and one of the suggestions is to entertain – however Leo is located in the 12th house of your chart, which is an inward energy place…then have a small, quiet gathering. By contrast, if Leo is located in the 1st house of your chart, an outward energy place…have a party! It is also interesting to note when the current Moon is in the same sign as your birth Moon and to see how the flavor of that day carries through the following 30 days.

Note: Weekly horoscope timeframes for Moon signs, void-of-course periods, and current planet & asteroid positions are noted for Eastern time zone (USA). Please adjust according to your own location. Times are not given if the void-of-course Moon occurs for a very short period or if it occurs during the night (based on same Eastern time zone).

∗Mercury Retrograde – the speed of the planet slows down considerably. Communications, paperwork, electronics, traffic and mail can become very mixed-up, delayed, or go on the ‘fritz’ during this time. A situation will be in the process of changing, so wait until Mercury is direct (resumes its regular speed) to finalize anything. In general, maintain a slower, more cautious pace in daily affairs. Always allow at least two days before (to slow down) and after (to resume regular activities) a Mercury retrograde period. (Read More about Mercury Retrograde including *Direct & In-Station)

*Venus Retrograde – just like Mercury, the speed of the planet slows down considerably. Relationships, especially love relationships, will likely be more in the background than upfront. Take it easy with expressed feelings of that nature and agree to address any concerns after Venus goes Direct. (See info about Mercury Direct & In-Station and apply that to Venus when appropriate.)

*Mars Retrograde – just like Mercury, the speed of the planet slows down considerably. Decisions and actions will be more difficult to implement. Avoid confrontations. Be careful about cuts & burns. (See info about Mercury Direct & In-Station and apply that to Mars when appropriate.)

**Total Lunar Eclipse – when the Moon appears to be completely covered.
**Partial Lunar Eclipse – the Full Moon is not completely covered.
**Lunar Eclipse/A – appulse, a penumbral eclipse, the Moon enters only the penumbral of the earth. (penumbral = shadowy, partial shadow, marginal area)
