Welcome to your Stars
January 6 to 14, 2025
The unusual situation of the Sun, Venus and Mars travelling together through Capricorn continues. And through these days is intensified by the addition of Mercury and oppositions to Jupiter.
Here, for your consideration, are what some authorities say: ‘Astrologically this rare event (Sun conjunct Venus conjunct Mars) is a potent catalyst for major life transformation. The overall theme: STRUCTURED TRANSFORMATION AND NEW BEGINNINGS’. And further, ‘In essence, January 2026 is poised to be an intense foundational period where disciplined action and clear intentions can manifest significant long lasting results, shaping the next 7 years of one’s life.’ As we wrote last week, this combination can spark peace, love, joy and special progress or belligerence, egotism or upsets.
​
Quite obviously, acting consciously and responsibly may never have been so important to shaping now and the future, globally or individually. Starting Thursday and Friday puts you ahead. Which is good, as the weekend could be particularly combustible and life shaping as the oppositions to Jupiter are struck. Having things and being steady and stable means striking new success, not trouble.
Continuing consciously through Monday and Tuesday captures the power of the transformative Scorpio Moon to your causes. But red flags fly Wednesday as Mercury comes to oppose Jupiter. However, one can be rather successful if you’re careful and thorough at the same time.
As Robert Hand writes, ‘Avoid the temptation of thinking that the small details are beneath the lofty concerns of the day. The whole may be more than the parts, but the parts still determine their effectiveness of the whole’.
Thought for the Times
“All human beings have the gift of Awareness. Yet not all are aware that they are Aware. When you are aware that you are Aware your experience of Awareness shifts to a new level.”
Neale Donald Walsch
ARIES: The Sun, Venus, Mars and Mercury lighting your professional and life purpose realm, engaging with Jupiter in your family and roots realm means make every step mindfully so clashes don’t arise. This makes good progress Thursday and Friday. But the weekend could be particularly tricky. However, being doubly aware can score goals as well as prevent problems. Applying yourself appropriately hastens advances Monday and Tuesday, Mercury opposition Jupiter means beware thoughtlessness triggering trouble Wednesday.
TAURUS: Maybe there’s a lot going on, especially re others, your attitude or long distance. Not getting caught up in haste or irritability helps you more surely find your way, as Thursday and Friday prove. But things could intensify over the weekend. Travelling and communicating safely and sensibly avoids arguments or mishaps, sparking much better outcomes and your popularity. Relationships can sparkle Monday and Tuesday if you’re trying. Wisdom works best Wednesday too.
GEMINI: You’ve had serious lessons on how to manage wellbeing, life, finances and resources. The current potent dynamics could test how well you’ve learned. However, by managing health, lifestyle and monies mindfully you pass with flying colours and improve your position, as Thursday and Friday show. But the weekend’s potency calls for redoubled consciousness to actions to continue successfully. Monday and Tuesday work well if you do. Employing wisdom greatly improves Wednesday too.
CANCER: Your emotions run deep. But with your relationships and interactions under this planetary potency, plus provoking Cancerian Jupiter, managing your behaviour and relations with others mindfully is crucial to manifesting better days, not blowups. Awareness means doing very well Thursday and Friday. However, the potency rises over the weekend. Steering a careful ship finds success, not storms. Wisdom can work magic Monday and Tuesday. But batten down the hatches to continue successfully Wednesday.
LEO: This celestial prevalence of Earth and Water could work to douse your spirits and chances. Careful attention to health, work and lifestyle cancels this, however, and excellent life improvements can arise, starting Thursday and Friday. This potency increases over the weekend. Taking your time and thinking things through keeps you successfully on course. And family and home matters can be favoured Monday and Tuesday. But reapply the weekend’s advice for Wednesday.
VIRGO: The current astrology accelerates the power and destiny in your social and professional networks, special projects and interactions with loved ones. It’s essential to watch what you’re doing and saying to avoid karma dramas or mishaps erupting. Starting Thursday and Friday shows the excellent difference this makes. (Better wins than woes!) The weekend intensifies powerful currents. Wisdom surfs to new success. Your charms work Monday and Tuesday. But be extra careful Wednesday
LIBRA: Le Sol, Venus and Mars in your family, residence and roots realm provoking Jupiter in your professional and life purpose zone makes for a potent mix. However, dealing mindfully with matters avoids unpleasant eruptions, making for much better outcomes, starting Thursday and Friday. The weekend looks particularly tricky. Acting with redoubled awareness, however, more than saves the day. Continuing consciously makes Monday and Tuesday rewarding. Checking twice Wednesday averts angst and hastens your success.
SCORPIO: The Sun, Venus and Mars combination sparking Jupiter makes your Chart rather volatile. However, forewarned is forearmed. Communicating and acting sensibly, plus travelling safely prevents problems and promotes your popularity and success, as Thursday and Friday prove. Tread even more carefully over the weekend to avoid landmines and advance much more successfully. La Luna heightens the thinking Scorpion’s success Monday and Tuesday. But think twice Wednesday to continue successfully.
SAGITTARIUS: If you’re not watching it serious issues can arise, especially re your finances, wellbeing, resources or loved ones. However, attention to manging monies, interactions and your life mindfully can hasten enrichment and positive breakthroughs, starting Thursday and Friday. The weekend is even more combustible. Being even more conscious avoids arguments or mishaps, however, and increases your charisma. Taking it easy gets more done Monday or Tuesday. Double checking data helps you shine Wednesday.
CAPRICORN: The Goat can be a shrewd operator, and this leads to lasting success. However, you should redouble this special instinct now, as things could easily blowup re others or your ambitions otherwise. Thursday and Friday demonstrate how employing your wisdom pays and improves your position. The weekend’s particularly electric. Acting diplomatically and carefully activates success, not shocks. Your winning ways are then heightened Monday and Tuesday. Just beware thoughtlessness triggering trouble Wednesday.
AQUARIUS: Planets grouped in your subconscious or spiritual zone sparking Jupiter in your health and lifestyle zone could spell trouble or upsets. However, by tending to yourself and life mindfully you defuse this potential, making for much better developments, as Thursday and Friday illustrate. The weekend’s turbulence requires redoubling the above advice. Doing so changes your fortunes. Monday and Tuesday work well if you do. Wednesday restirs cosmic turbulence. Awareness sails successfully through.
PISCES: Your social and professional networks are unusually potent gratis this unusual astrology. This conflicting with Jupiter in your children, love and self-expressive zone means pay conscious attention to actions and interactions. Then instead of weird or worrying developments much better circumstances arise, starting Thursday and Friday. Things intensify over the weekend. Intensifying your awareness bypasses trouble and can bring breakthroughs. You’re in good form Monday and Tuesday. But check twice to get it right Wednesday.
