“Fresh Ideas”

January 29- Feb 4, 2024

The Energy for the Week…

Monday starts out with flowing thoughts, good communication, and learning or trying something new.  Something happens that helps you think of an old story in a new way. This is a great day for envisioning new moves. The moon is in Virgo and she’s in edit mode. What do you need to refine or restructure at the first of the week? There is stability and initiative in the sky that will help you to move forward in a brand-new way with fresh ideas and strategies. We also have a supportive grand trine aspect in earth signs that will help us all week to be more productive, to get things done, and to keep up with the faster pace that seems to be revving up. Do you feel it?

Midweek the moon shifts into Libra with a more social and chatty vibe. Finding a balance between cooperation and self-assertion may be a challenge so step into it wisely. There could be some emotional volatility, or someone says or does something that is a trigger for you. Only you can allow them the leverage to pull that trigger, so weighing your options before speaking is always a wise choice.

On Thursday the moon moves into Scorpio, and you may notice your focus and initiative to succeed increases dramatically. There is a feeling of putting yourself in someone else’s shoes and helping them succeed too. In fact, you may use your unparalleled ability to stay on task to help a friend dig into details that they’re not handling well. Tackling income tax returns, cleaning out closets, or diving into the details of project can be productive ways to use the Scorpionic intensity while also showing compassion for those we care about.

Over the weekend we have Mercury moving into Aquarius, initiating a “fresh idea” energy, and encouraging you to try new things. Mercury in Aquarius will bring out your inner scientist. You may find yourself experimenting with different viewpoints, drawing conclusions, and revealing new ways of thinking or working with something that you hadn’t thought of before. You may also find yourself sifting through evidence and uncovering truths or shedding light on hidden agendas. The truth is out there, and you will find it while Mercury is in Aquarius!

And here’s what’s happening for your zodiac sign:

Find your flow with your individual horoscope this week. You can use your Ascendant or Sun Sign to start, but check in with your Mars, Venus, or Moon sign – as they may offer additional clues that can be helpful too.

Aries

Inspiration can be found in small details at the start of the week. Being conscious about ways to support your health factor into overall wellbeing.  Maybe joining a new gym or kickboxing studio? You’re energized by a new tech discovery or meet up with someone who brings fresh ideas or a solution to an old problem. This can help to increase your cashflow and/or visibility. As the week progresses, things do get a bit more serious.  Focusing your energy on priorities can help you avoid burnout. By the weekend, kick back and take a little siesta. Let your flights of fancy lead the way! You deserve it!

Taurus

At the beginning of the week things just seem to flow and you’re feeling footloose and fancy-free. Lean into sensory experiences, good food, and having fun! Midweek brings you back to balance and checking the scales to see if you were too self-indulgent. Now is a good time to start a new lifestyle or fitness routine.  Towards the end of the week, issues in relationship may crop up. Avoid power struggles and try to see the other perspective. Having an open-minded approach can benefit you both.

Gemini

Monday is a bit bumpy with parental figures or something on the home front boiling over. Use your quick wit to dodge any verbal bullets and lean into hobbies or work that keeps your mind active. Midweek is best for you, and you can easily find cooperation, partnership, and seeing eye to eye. A date night or dinner with friends can be uplifting. Seek connection with those you enjoy. At the end of the week allow yourself to drift and dream, as it may be hard to focus on actual work. But you need this time in preparation for Mercury moving into Aquarius on Sunday. It’s a busy mind energy, extra stimulating, and may create nervousness for you.

Cancer

You will get some unexpected news or make a connection with a new acquaintance this week. This interaction may initiate a new routine or home design/redecoration. For instance, maybe its time to do some painting or get a new piece of furniture. Others may not be as excited about the change so you may have to apply it slowly to give them time to warm up to the idea. Even if you can’t sign on the dotted line yet, you can imagine all the possibilities and let this fresh plan bloom in your soul.

Leo

Money and security is on your mind at the top of the week. How to make it and how to keep it. Not an easy task for a big spender! You are looking at ways to stabilize yourself this week and you will come to terms with having to make some choices about impulse spending. Maybe opening a savings account that doesn’t have an ATM card? That way you must go to the bank to make a withdrawal. You are also considering a new work partnership (and cash flow) on the horizon. Don’t decide yet, spend the weekend exploring all your options and weighing the pros and cons before saying “I do.”

Virgo

This is a week for new beginnings. Maybe its tangible or maybe it’s just your attitude. There is something stabilizing that comes in for you and helps you to feel more secure and valued, especially in your work. The mood just feels different. Focus and self-control serve you best in this environment. Doubling down on both, will reveal some hidden truth that can make a big impression. Maybe you learn something about yourself that you didn’t know realize before? You are a great detective so make sure you are paying attention to subtleties!

Libra

It’s time to take the rose-colored glasses off and say goodbye to something that isn’t working. Maybe it’s a project, an idea, or even a point of view. You’re tired of arguing and defending yourself. Let it go. You’ll feel so much better! Being less dogmatic opens a whole new air of cooperation and a new beginning too. An “ah-ha” moment comes to you this week and it will be electrifying! Fresh plans and new ideas can take flight. Dig in to communication, mind melds, and sharing resources, and you’ll discover a new truth that will satisfy your need for stimulation.

Scorpio

The first of the week starts in a flow phase and you’re embracing the work because you see the reward up ahead. You may get triggered by fake news, a conspiracy theory, or something someone says, but don’t let it throw off your equilibrium. Assert your own beliefs while respecting their viewpoint and then let it go to prevent an emotional reaction. Thursday through Saturday brings a focus on self and a new beginning of a sort. Is it time to upgrade your look? Make changes that help you feel your best as you’re about to encounter someone who knocks your socks off in the not-so-distant future.

Sagittarius

There’s so much to do and it all feels heavy at the start of the week. Hang in there and you’ll find a happy medium by midweek. You may have trouble making up your mind about which direction to go in an emotional issue that’s been hanging open. Pace yourself. Insight will arrive toward the end of the week that gives you clarity. You’ll be better able to see another viewpoint and a vulnerability that you didn’t expect. Healing and increased compassion are possible. And it happens just in time for the moon to come shining in your sign on Sunday. Things lighten up, communication is fruitful, and it may be time for your next short adventure!

Capricorn

Things have been clicking into place and you’re very productive at the start of the week. Midweek may be more of see-saw, with a back and forth between your goals and emotional needs; both for yourself and others. There could be some drama hanging around.  If things get out of hand, seek the counsel of a wise friend. They can help you to see the other side and advise how to stay away from manipulative and controlling forces. The weekend may be a good time to reconnect with your inner self. Staying close to home for a little R & R can be a good way to let things die down. Amuse yourself with a new gaming app or tech toy.

Aquarius

You’re cleaning out dusty and junk filled spaces at the start of the week (both literally and proverbially) to make way for something new. You may hear about a new technique, metaphysical interest, or ways to raise consciousness that appeals to your inner student. Focus your research on something that lights up your brain. Midweek brings an interesting focus on soft skills in the career space. How can you show more caring, compassion, and concern to your clients and audience? You get to become a scientist here and experiment with strategies to connect. Form a hypothesis and consider the outcomes regarding relationships. An epiphany comes through about the subtleties and benefits of sharing vulnerability with others. You may unravel a new way of doing business.

Pisces

Relationships have been hard to maintain recently but things are getting better. A new idea about how to “see the other” will help you to reconnect. Pay attention to small details as these can be just the thing that helps. A shared interest, warm cup of tea, or a furry friend can let each party see the kindness and compassion that is present. Midweek you’ll be wearing many hats and trying to juggle all the tasks. You’ll find your focus when you double down on your core values and beliefs. You can’t please everyone so pick and choose those that are most important to you and leave the rest. Fresh ideas are coming in over the weekend that will continue this conversation and help you find a new way to keep all the balls in the air.
