Horoscopes for the week starting Monday January 13 2020

The first half of the week is dominated by a conjunction between Saturn and Pluto.  The Sun and Mercury join the party, and pressure is added by a 45 degree aspect from Mars.  Things are tense, and many of us may feel that we can’t take much more of it.  As a result, it might be a good idea to take a step back from our immediate problems, and in terms of relationships we shouldn’t feel that anything should last forever.

But it’s not all bad.  Venus is moving into Pisces, the sign of its exaltation, where is moves to a favourable aspect with Uranus.  There are ways of expressing our feelings, and good relationships can get even better.  There is also the possibility of a surprise meeting, which brings the possibility of happiness and excitement.

And here are my forecasts for the twelve signs:

Aries At work it might feel that something is moving towards a crisis.  You don’t feel comfortable, and it might seem that your brave moves could end in disaster.  However, through sheer determination you can win through.

Taurus You can put away the mirror, and stop worrying what you look like.  You’re fine, just as you are, and with Venus moving into magical Pisces you can be the centre of attention without trying.  Partners need love and support.

Gemini Every Gemini knows that nothing is permanent, and sometimes you think about the end before it has even begun.  But maybe it is a time to lighten up.  By focusing on feelings rather than words you can make new and useful contacts.

Cancer Right now there is a huge astrological build-up in Capricorn, your opposite sign.  Relationships take up a lot of your time, and you might feel that they are more trouble than they are worth.  Seek the company of spiritual people.

Leo You have a limited amount of energy, and if something doesn’t have to be done then don’t do it.  And don’t allow yourself to be manipulated and blackmailed.  You’ve got an agenda to follow, which has your own physical and psychological health as its central plank.

Virgo Being creative is often a fine balance.  You have to put in the time and the dedication, but you don’t want to take things too seriously.  Because your attention to detail may destroy the thing you are creating.  Someone special wants your attention.

Libra Your home life takes up a lot of time.  And your family could really get on your nerves.  OK, there are chores and duties that can’t be avoided, but you do need some space.  Places near water can help you relax, particularly if you’re accompanied by someone you trust.

Scorpio Money issues are hard to avoid.  You want things to be sorted out, but there are unavoidable delays.  Perhaps communications about money get delayed, and you get angry.  Partners and lovers are in the mood for fun and games.

Sagittarius Mars continues its movement through your star sign.  You’ve certainly got a lot of energy, but there’s a danger that you hit an obstacle.  Perhaps there is a sum of money you can’t afford.  In general, obstacles should be side-stepped rather than attacked.

Capricorn If you’ve got plants, look after them.  Because right now there is a danger that you forget to water them, and stuff like that.  Elsewhere you feel that large scale forces are at work, that you can’t fully control.  Let the storm run its course.

Aquarius Just because everything is quiet doesn’t mean that nothing is going on.  Deep down, tectonic plates are shifting, and for your part, you need to be ready to take advantage of the situation.  You friends can be very annoying.

Pisces Venus moves into your star sign.  Your social skills will move to the top of the range, and with Venus aspecting Uranus you can communicate in an animated and exciting way.  Right now your social life and your career life can’t occupy the same space.
