A warm hello.
This is a week for developing a new vision, that you build on or launch from foundations that have been already laid.
In essence, there’ll be a blend of the old and the new, ‘tried and true’ methods with innovative ideas – this is a time for change but without discarding the past, by making the most of it and learning from it!
This week will hold some wonderful promise!

A warm hello.
Just look at this!
When the Moon reaches Capricorn tomorrow night, it will join Mars, Venus, Pluto and Mercury in Capricorn – that’s an enormous accent on one 30 degrees wedge of the heavens.   The Moon moves quickly and when it leaves Capricorn, there’ll still be 4 planets there - still a major Capricorn accent.
The Moon moving into Aquarius will be a New Moon and it will fall with Saturn, Capricorn’s ruling planet!

In the next 7 days:

All this Capricorn indicates that a strong grounding influence will colour our choices; yet with the New Moon we’ll strive to break new ground!   So, we’ll engage with our hearts and souls in something we’re determined to do, achieve or see through, yet we’ll also rationalise, justify and keep coming back to practicalities – whilst we endeavour to push ahead.   The way the planets are squished together like this also tends to narrow our focus!

​ARIES.   It will be all systems go – special duties to others will stretch your resources, you’ll throw yourself into ambitious career or personal plans, there’ll be opportunities to work with people you admire or can learn from and PR opportunities to foster valuable connections.   The New Moon will bring the chance to go somewhere, do or achieve something you’ve wanted to some time; it may take a super effort but you’ll embrace it with gusto!   Also you could connect with an old friend or a colleague could become more of a friend.
TAURUS.   A getaway, exploring a beautiful place or a new social scene will be exhilarating and eye-opening; you’ll meet charming people from different walks of life.   A surge of contact with a distant loved one or reuniting with someone from afar will bring happy times aplenty.   Someone you love may go travelling.   The New Moon with Saturn in Aquarius is in your career zone – this could bring a change, task or project on the job that increases your responsibilities and workload but is a chance to climb the ladder of success; if you’re looking for work this is very promising!
GEMINI.   There’ll be so much to organise financially including one-off outlays and generous gestures for others, pressing business will need attention and a few frustrations will test your patience.   There’ll be complex documents to work through, a financial gain, a new financial undertaking and an important financial decision or offer to consider.  There may be tax, super or insurance matters.   You’ll need to dot every ‘I’ to ensure all flows smoothly.   You’ll enjoy greater involvement with a distant relative or friend with some special plans to co-ordinate.   A legal matter should move forward.
CANCER.   This huge Capricorn emphasis is in the relationship zone for you – you’ll be intensely focused on your relationships and there’ll be a lot happening in the lives of those around you; with love in your heart, you’ll go the extra mile to ‘be there’ for someone dear, to bring special plans to fruition, to build a relationship of growing significance, ease differences with another or help a loved one with a big commitment, change or event.   Financially, there’ll be an important arrangement or issue with another to resolve; this may involve a lot of paperwork.
LEO.   Special requests and extra duties on the job, with the family and also friends will come thick and fast; you’ll be spread thin, trying to help and please all the people, all the time, both professionally and personally.   Challenging tasks on the job will test your skills, PR efforts will be essential and attention to details will require patience.   Keeping a promise will be important to you, you may also focus on a health, diet or fitness pursuit.   The New Moon in your 7th house denotes a new chapter in a relationship; this will require work but in new ways.
VIRGO.   A special project you feel passionately about will take off, you’ll also pour energy into a pursuit or interest you love and special plans with loved ones will require an energetic, loving commitment.   You’ll meet talented people, a social invitation will foster an interesting connection, a creative pursuit will need practical follow through and developing a new skill will be a labour of love.   A new job or an opportunity on the job will take you down a new path.   A health pursuit will bring valuable learning experiences.
LIBRA.   Ambitious domestic plans will require thoughtful decisions that consider different members of the household.   An exciting family event or project will be an emotional focus, it’ll also require strong practical follow through.  You’ll gain practical, beautiful and sentimental items for your home, you’ll fix things that need to be done and beautify your environment.   A family issue will draw you in emotionally.   The New Moon indicates special plans with a loved one will get off the ground.   Someone new to love or you really like will come into your world.
SCORPIO.   You will be excited and motivated about an ambitious personal project; you’ll be keen to explore new options, you’ll learn from knowledgeable people and their advice, plus you learn experientially.   You’ll travel extra distances, enjoy a beautiful or interesting place and build or rebuild relations with a distant relative or friend.   You’ll also enjoy the company of someone who speaks the same language; Singles, this may have romantic undertones.   The New Moon for you signifies that a family event or domestic undertaking will introduce a new chapter.
SAGITTARIUS.   The huge Capricorn emphasis is in your 2nd house, the financial zone – you’ll weigh up a variety of purchases and outlays, including some big purchases and outlays.   You’ll pour energy into tidying some unfinished financial business, earning extra money and splurging on special things you want to do; a financial project will take careful research.   The New Moon in Aquarius with Saturn here in your 3rd house, denotes you’ll hear from or catch up with a relative you see too rarely.   You may go further afield too and explore places that are off the beaten track.
CAPRICORN.   With all these planets in your Zodiac Sign, so much will depend on you – your decisions, and how you handle important issues, plans on the drawing board and opportunities offering.   People who are important to you, professionally or personally, will defer to you, your knowledge and judgement; you will be the defining factor in many situations.   This is a time of action and progress for you, and a time when you’ll make a big impression on others.   The New Moon with Saturn in your financial zone indicates a new financial goal, large outlays and unusual purchases.
AQUARIUS.   Domestic repairs, family commitments and matters, tackling an old problem or drawn-out task and working towards a future goal will all keep you grounded; you’ll need to research, plan and follow through with determination and practical organisation, but on subtle levels there’ll also be emotional issues to work through.   You may think a lot about the past and reconnect with someone you’ve shared a lot with in the past.   The New Moon with Saturn in Aquarius will bring a well-timed turning-point – there’ll be an upward swing in your affairs with the promise of a reward you’ve worked hard for.
PISCES.   The massive Capricorn emphasis is in your 11th house – hopes, wishes and friends.   You may re-evaluate what you want from a situation, relationship or important undertaking or your life.   You’ll gain something that you dearly want and you’ll do something fun that you’ve wanted for some time; you’ll also foster friendships and meet interesting people.   The New Moon in your 12th house indicates a fresh determination to break free from a situation that’s been restricting you, solve a problem, work through a challenging task or slow-moving issue and plan for the future with evolving priorities.

A warm hello.

Mars moves into Capricorn today and it will linger there until early March.

This is a positive energy blend – Mars represents initiative and drive, filtered through Capricorn which adds focus and staying power; there’ll be action, progress and productivity with whatever plan, goal or issue you focus on with clear intentions, purpose and determination.

So, it’s time to get crystal clear on what you want or want to achieve and to follow through; well-earned results will reward your labours in the coming weeks.

Wishing you joy,

​Karen

The planet Uranus turns Direct this week.
This will bring a major turning-point in a situation where your hands have been tied.
Initially, it might seem like a small breakthrough, but there’ll be a light at the end of the tunnel and it will start to shine brightly.
Enjoy your week.

A warm hello.
Here is the planetary picture for the next 7 days:

Mercury turning Retrograde today, until Feb 4th, means the need to pay attention to our communication, so we can communicate with clarity, soothe irritations and avoid misunderstandings; there should also be a 2nd chance to raise a matter that’s on your mind.

The Full Moon in Cancer will be especially emotional - not only is it in a sensitive emotional Water Sign, it is also in opposition to Venus, Pluto and the Sun.

ARIES.    Finding meeting-points with a new associate or in a changing friendship could be trial and error; attentive listening will reveal helpful clues.   The opportunity to build bridges with a friend or colleague will be hard work but meaningful.   A family occasion or project will be an intense focus; there’ll be touchy moments to ease as well as emotional highlights.
TAURUS.   There’ll be more than one defining conversation in the next 7 days: roadblocks to negotiate to reset the course or an ambitious project, a discussion that breaks new ground will be challenging and enlightening and there’ll be an emotional exchange that enables you to ask a question and resolve an issue you’ve wanted to settle for some time.
GEMINI.  Making plans with a distant relative will test your flexibility; there’ll be changing factors to take into account.   The way will open for a discussion you’ve wanted with a distant loved one too but you’ll need to feel your way.   A legal conversation will answer an important question.   An exchange that’s a turning point in a relationship will have subtle emotional undercurrents.
 CANCER.   A financial discussion may raise as many questions as it answers but it will give you valuable food for thought.   A personal discussion you’ve tiptoed around before will require just as circumspect an approach now but there will be progress!   With the Full Moon in your Zodiac Sign, emotions will run high; a challenging issue with another could come to a head and/or there’ll be an emotional get-together to celebrate.
LEO.  A difficult person, situation or discussion will be an exercise in thoughtful communication; building empathy and points of accord will encourage progress.   A fortuitous encounter will be uplifting, a meaningful get-together will leave a reflective afterglow.   An experience or exchange that turns back time will hold an emotional message.
VIRGO.   A health discussion will remind you of information or advice it’s time to apply.   Also, you’ll understand a work situation better and communicate with a colleague more fruitfully if you apply what you’ve learned on previous occasions.   A fun outing, occasion or interest with another will have emotional layers of meaning, and it’ll foster a relationship of special or growing importance to you.
LIBRA.   Thought-provoking exchanges with your children might subtly underline the generation gap but they’ll also enable you to connect ln meaningful issues.   Seeing the big picture will help you to think creatively with a project or problem you’re wrestling with.   You’ll go the extra mile for a professional task, family or domestic enterprise you have an emotional investment in and there’ll be an exciting breakthrough!
SCORPIO.   A family discussion will be an opportunity to work on a family relationship from a new angle.   Timely information will guide you with a domestic project that’s on the drawing board.   The Full Moon promises an exciting achievement – plans you’re working on will come to fruition or you’ll achieve a goal you feel passionately about.   A long-distance relationship will turn an important corner.   A beautiful place will resonate with you.
SAGITTARIUS.   An informative exchange will raise important issues with exciting personal plans; you may have overlooked or dismissed these in the past.   An expensive purchase or large outlay will come from the heart; keep a clear overview to make your best choice.   An emotional situation or experience will bring insights and revelations.
CAPRICORN.    A financial discussion will be an opportunity to ask questions that interest or concern you and sort out an arrangement; a financial decision will require you to balance some unusual pro’s and con’s.   The Full Moon in the relationship zone may bring a sensitive difference with another to the fore; it will be a chance to lay a simmering upset to rest.   A family event may be laced with subtle emotional layers; you’ll need to step lightly.
AQUARIUS.   Mercury is Retrograde in Aquarius, so this transit applies to you in particular – it means a 2nd chance to initiate a conversation that’s important to you; you have thought about different ways of approaching this and now’s the time to choose one.   A task or situation that’s an echo of the past will strike emotional chords; you’ll benefit from earlier experiences.   You’ll pour energy into a health pursuit as well.
PISCES.   A sensitive situation with someone, where you’ve always had to ‘bite your tongue’, could resurface; once again, it will need a tactful approach, to soothe old tensions.   There may also be a plan or issue you’re overdue to discuss with someone close; be prepared for some thoughtful give-and-take.   A get-together that’s a joy for the heart will be a special personal highlight.

A warm hello.
Spontaneous or unexpected happenings this week could bring sudden blessings and opportunities, changes of plans and a few hassles.
You’ll need to think on your feet, be flexible and resourceful, to make the most of this week’s twists and turns.
Wishing you joy,
Karen
