Mercury retrograde tends to get a bad rep, Gemini. But one of the things you are discovering this time around is that it’s not all bad. In fact, the cosmic climate is supporting you to move into a space of clarity and channel new ideas. We’re talking about the kind of ideas that will propel you in the direction of growth *and* enable you to plant the seeds of change in the collective consciousness. Taurus, you may or may not be in the mood to adopt the ‘new year, new me’ mantra, but you’re certainly in the mood to upgrade your studio space, especially if you’ve recently transitioned into a WFH set-up. Surround yourself with quotes and images that inspire the best in you. At the same time, get creative with colors. Work with a combination of hues that will enable you to get into a state of flow. Libra, we get it. You’re a peacemaker at heart. You want to fix every little disturbance before things go awry. But, in doing so you end up rejecting your own feelings about the given situation. So do yourself a favor and wade through the discomfort. Observe both what is and isn’t working out for you here. At the same time, let go of the need to find an immediate solution as you redirect your energy towards self-growth.
So, what does the week ahead have in store for the rest of the signs? Let’s explore.
Aries
There are times in our lives when we feel like everything is working against us, and these are pivotal times. Accept what’s transpiring right now as an invitation to recognize what isn’t aligned with your soul’s growth. You don’t have to put up with the bare minimum, Aries. You deserve the world and you deserve it now. On the upside, your career is getting a major boost right now. There is a new project/opportunity coming your way, one that you have been manifesting into your reality for a while now. Be excited in anticipation of what you are about to co-create with the Universe!
Taurus
You may or may not be in the mood to adopt the ‘new year, new me’ mantra, but you’re certainly in the mood to upgrade your studio space, especially if you’ve recently transitioned into a WFH set-up. Surround yourself with quotes and images that inspire the best in you. At the same time, get creative with colors. Work with a combination of hues that will enable you to get into a state of flow. This is the secret, beautiful. This is the secret to staying connected to the creative consciousness and offering the world something you will be remembered for.
Gemini
Mercury retrograde tends to get a bad rep. But one of the things you are discovering this time around is that it’s not all bad. In fact, the cosmic climate is supporting you to move into a space of clarity and channel new ideas. We’re talking about the kind of ideas that will propel you in the direction of growth *and* enable you to plant the seeds of change in the collective consciousness. Trust what you’re being guided to act upon, even if the given impulse makes no sense to your logical mind. In the realm of love, the cards are talking about stability. Let’s raise a toast to that certain someone who makes you feel like they’re your anchor in the midst of life’s many storms.
Cancer
Here’s the thing, Cancer: your soul knows. Your soul already knows what is and isn’t in alignment with your growth. You just have to learn to trust this inner guidance even though it doesn’t always make sense to your logical mind. As such, health and wellness are likely to be big themes for you at the start of the year. So if you’ve been thinking about packing your belongings and setting off for some R&R by the beach or signing up for a yoga retreat, now is the time to do so.
Leo
But what’s the long-term vision, Leo? Where do you see yourself ten years from now? Today, the cards are urging you to revisit the big goals you’ve set for yourself. There is something on the back burner that’s calling for your urgent attention. Your task this week is to find a way to balance your personal goals along with your professional commitments. Finding this balance may feel tricky at first, and that’s okay. Trust that you will soon be able to put a new system in place.
Virgo
It’s all looking good in the hood, Virgo! You’re making steady progress and co-creating magic with your fellow unicorns. There’s so much to learn from each other at this time. So, keep the petty differences (if any) aside and focus on the big picture. For single Virgos, the week ahead may bring with itself the opportunity to meet a potential partner in the workspace. We get it. Mixing work and pleasure can be all kinds of tricky. But do you really want to deny yourself of the opportunity of exploring a connection such as this one? Something to think about as you sip on your morning tea.
Libra
We get it, Libra. You’re a peacemaker at heart. You want to fix every little disturbance before things go awry. But in doing so, you end up rejecting your own feelings about the given situation. So, do yourself a favor and wade through the discomfort. Observe both what is and isn’t working out for you here. At the same time, let go of the need to find an immediate solution as you redirect your energy towards yourself. Self-care is the only revolution you are being asked to focus on in the days to come, beautiful.
Scorpio
This week, you’ve got travel on your mind, Scorpio. You want to pack your belongings in a suitcase and jet-set to destinations old and new. If taking a break from work is not an option, consider working out of scenic locations. Just make sure the wi-fi connection is supportive. For some of you, higher education may be a major theme right now. What are the courses that will help you level up? Do your research, consult experts, but also learn to trust your gut.
Sagittarius
Here’s a ritual you want to practice in the coming week: every time you find yourself in a sticky situation, instead of imagining the worst-case-scenario, visualize the best possible outcome. Visualize the Universe showing up for you and providing you with the support and resources you need to make your dreams come true. Something tells us you are ready! You are ready to walk into the portal of abundance. You are ready to create a life that’s both creatively, emotionally, spiritually *and* financially fulfilling.
Capricorn
But, who says you can’t have it all, Capricorn? This week, you’re stepping into the portal of abundance. You are receiving the rewards of all the hard work you have put in over the years. What’s more, you now have a team that understands your needs and is willing to put in the work it takes to realize the big goal. The only thing you want to keep in mind as you go about your week is the importance of honesty and integrity. Don’t bend the rules even when you’re tempted to. The relationships you build now have the potential to last a lifetime.
Aquarius
You’ve got so much working for you right now. Zoom out and observe your reality from a higher plane of consciousness. This will help you recognize that you are in the life you manifested for yourself a long time ago. Does that mean you are going to stagnate? Anything but, Aquarius. The Oracle is pointing towards a brand new opportunity, one that’s in alignment with your soul’s growth. Put your faith back in yourself and take a chance, even though this will require you to wade through the discomfort temporarily. You won’t come to regret this decision.
Pisces
Maybe they weren’t the one for you. Maybe they weren’t prepared to meet you in all the ways you desired, Pisces. Don’t let your past become the reason you build barriers instead of boundaries. What you want to do instead is open your heart and let love find you unexpectedly. Neptunians who have already been going steady with a certain someone are being guided to release their fears. You are where you are supposed to be and you are moving forward at the right pace. So, take that next step if you feel ready to.
