Astrology Overview for WC 18th January, 2016

The week begins with the emphasis still on the sign of Capricorn. Mercury though in the sign connects with Pluto which can create a tremendous amount of intensity. Our thoughts and even our nervous systems can be that much more revved up. The secret is going to be in not taking ourselves too seriously and especially with both squaring to the unpredictable energies of Uranus. Broadly this battle between orthodoxy and rebellion goes on until the end of the month. Choosing our words carefully will help, especially with Mercury still twisting backwards.


Venus and Jupiter also square. This is for the first half of the week and can tempt us into promising more than we can realistically deliver or going overboard with the charm. We may also find ourselves tempted to splash out on things which will not have lasting value.

Mars continues in the powerful sign of Scorpio, and like last week continues to Trine with Neptune. Extra subtlety and self-sacrifice will be greatly appreciated, though we need to stay aware of our motives.

The Sun moves into Aquarius on Thursday. The sign of friendship and of collective hopes and wishes. This may see a revival of social contact especially if energy has been lower in the first weeks of the year or practicalities have dominated. He is though opposed by the Full Moon in Leo on Sunday, suggesting time management is key, as will looking after those associations which are really important. Friends are nice, but quality is always better than quantity.

Finally, Venus moves into Capricorn on Sunday too. Here she is very earthy and sensual, good for business but may also evoke some surprising levels of passion.
