Weekly General Horoscopes (Updates on Monday) - 30 January 2012
Aries
There is a real need for patience this week, with Mars spending his first full week in retrograde motion in your work sector and Saturn spending his last full week in direct motion in your relationship sector, both at a near standstill which is slowing everything else down. As much as you may want to see things moving faster, this brings a call for patience, making time for your relationships and working smarter, not pushing things on the professional front. A combination of Mars' retrograde turn in your work sector last week and Mercury's departure from your career sector over the weekend may have taken some of the wind out of your professional sails, but it gives you a chance to pull back and spend more time at the drawing board. It is more friendship and relationship building this week.
Taurus
Despite the fact that Venus is putting a lot of focus on your social life this week, she is up against some almost overwhelming professional forces that are likely to get the main slice of your attention. It was Mercury's return to your career sector over the weekend and his first full week that coincides with Neptune's final few days, leaving on Saturday and not returning again in your lifetime. Along with the Sun, Mercury is here to help you create a game plan, one that will keep Neptune's professional dreams alive for weeks, months, years and even decades to come. This is also Saturn's last full week in direct motion in your work sector and slowing down to a crawl this isn't a week for pushing things, giving you time to focus on your master plan.
Gemini
The key this week is balance, with your personal and professional lives both wanting your attention. With Saturn spending his last full week in direct motion in a romantic and playful part of your chart and Mars his first full week in retrograde motion in your home and family sector, your personal life quite rightly believes it should have your full attention. Try telling that to Venus though, who is not only spending her last full week in your career sector, but is preparing the way for Neptune's return over the weekend and the start of a whole new era. What comes to a head on Thursday is an opposition between Venus and Mars, with your home and professional lives likely to clash. This is both short lived and a valuable chance to develop the right work/life balance.
Cancer
With Saturn spending his last full week in direct motion in your home and family sector and Venus her last full week in an adventurous part of your chart, this was always going to be a week for focusing more on your home life and going off script. But with Venus due to return to your career sector next week, opening the door to the busiest and most important 3 professional months of the year, it's even more important that you do what you can to take your professional hat off as much as possible. It's by stepping outside your normal routine that you'll have a chance to recharge your batteries, so that when you do have to put your professional hat on and keep it on that you're mentally refreshed. This is also a week for defining your financial priorities and your financial game plan.
Leo
Mercury's departure from your work sector over the weekend has taken away a lot of the urgency and over riding work focus, while doing nothing to diminish the momentum already gained. While Pluto will keep things in motion on the work front this has allowed your professional focus to shift more to your career situation, where Jupiter is beginning to gain some traction. However, you have until early March before you need to have your career situation fully up to speed, giving you a chance this week to focus on more urgent matters and in particular your relationships and your financial situation. With Neptune leaving your relationship sector on Saturday and Venus leaving your financial sector next week, this is a week for defining your expectations on both fronts.
Virgo
The focus this week is at work and within your relationships, with the focus gradually shifting from one to the other. While Venus, planet of love had been in your relationship sector since mid month and will leave next week, she's having to compete for your attention with some very busy and focused stars on the work front and with an opposition from Mars on Thursday, which may create some personal and/or relationship pressure. Yet if you want to root for an underdog then Venus is the planet to put your money on, for Neptune's return to your relationship sector on Saturday, for the start of a journey that will take until 2026, will give her some powerful support. Over the coming weeks even the Sun and Mercury will back your relationships.
Libra
While things are starting to move on the work front, with Venus due to leave your work sector next week and Neptune due to return on Saturday, beginning a journey that will take until 2026 to complete, there is too much competition from your personal life to let this overwhelm you. That won't always be the case, with the Sun and Mercury both returning to your work sector over the next few weeks, backing Neptune in the early days of a new era on the work front. However, right now there is a real need to find a balance between work and play, with the Sun and Mercury rallying behind Neptune in his final days in your romantic and creative sector, here to help you make it count. This is more about defining your short and long term expectations, with time to walk the talk later.
Scorpio
If you find that your motivation is eluding you and that you can't find the energy to put everything you have into everything you do, then maybe you shouldn't try. With Saturn slowing down to a crawl in an intuitive and reflective part of your chart, staying mentally focused is going to be a lot harder for more time required to simply hear yourself think. Coupled with that is the fact that the busiest 3 months of the year kicks off next Wednesday, so the more you can recharge your batteries and take care of things on the home front now or even take time out to have some fun, the more refreshed and on top of your game you'll be when it counts. Give yourself permission to slow down and smell the coffee, leaving the guilt trips for another time.
Sagittarius
With Jupiter still coming up to speed on the work front and not hitting his stride until March, you have time and a need to pace yourself. With Mars spending his first full week in retrograde motion in your career sector there is a real danger in trying to push through any resistance or to fight your way through feelings of feeling stuck or blocked, which are there for a reason. It won't take Mars long to build up speed and momentum again, which will happen a lot quicker for him than it does for Jupiter, with the doors soon opening to second chances and a chance to retrace your steps. In the meantime, there is a real need to have the right work/life balance this week, with Venus' last full week in your home and family sector creating pressure to slow down and get your priorities right.
Capricorn
This is a defining week on the income front, with Mercury's return to your income sector over the weekend giving you a smart head for money just as Neptune is getting ready to leave on Saturday. Neptune has been working to define your income dreams and expectations for the last 14 years, with Mercury joining the Sun to help wrap things up, developing a game plan and giving you the tools to start walking the talk. This comes just as Saturn is slowing down ahead of his retrograde turn in your career sector next week and when the support between Saturn and Neptune is at its strongest. This makes this a power week on both the career and professional fronts, but it's a week where you should also find time to go off script, with time spent embracing a sense of adventure keeping you on your toes.
Aquarius
While the Sun won't leave your sign until the 19th January, the New Moon that will open new doors is already behind you and Mercury's return to your sign over the weekend means that you're no longer waiting for anything. With Neptune, planet of dreams and fantasies due to leave your sign on Saturday this is the end of a chapter that began 14 years ago, to define your dreams and aspirations. The Sun and Mercury are here to get your new solar year off the ground, but they're also here to help tie up loose ends, making sure that when Neptune leaves your sign, not to return in your lifetime, that you not only have a dream but you know how to start walking the talk. The last 14 years have been about defining the dream and now it's time to start living it.
Pisces
This is a week that is being defined by two events; the return of Neptune, planet of dreams and fantasies to your sign on Saturday and an opposition between Venus and Mars that you have to get through first. Venus and Mars have been moving closer to an opposition ever since Venus returned to your sign mid January and started giving you a clear sense of what you do and don't want, but it was Mars' retrograde turn in your relationship sector last week that has sped up the inevitable clash between your personal and relationship realities. This will peak on Thursday and then rapidly ease on the other side, but rather than something to fear this gives you a chance to find a balance between the two, creating a sense of authenticity on both fronts.
