Your Week

Monday 30th January to Sunday 5th February

The Astrologer's Diary:

Neptune’s ingress in Pisces is epic and you can read more about it at The Astrology Show website at http://www.theastrologyshow.net. World economies with Cancer or Capricorn solar charts (China, England, America) have been floating and drifting in a hazy unreality for years, as part of Neptune’s cycle. Will there be an eyes-wide-open moment on Friday 3rd at around 7pm London time? Astrology has surprised us before and may do so again. Of course, this is just after lunch on Wall Street, so it may be that as the blood sugar levels of New York financiers change, so does the US perception of its own (true) economic or property situation. Speeches and signatures will roll February 13-16.

Filed January 18

Aquarius

You won’t hear a bang when Neptune moves into your money, property and business horoscope sector. It’s more like a subtle wave of something new – but as early as February 1st there may be the suggestion of a win-win arrangement. Tread carefully as you go into this new cycle as it looks like you will be signing, shaking hands or accepting a signature on the week of the 13th. At that point you need to ensure the boundaries are firm and that as much as possible goes in writing – double-checked by experts!

Pisces

This has been a most peculiar period in your life, when so much of the time you spent alone, or so many of the secrets you kept, took you away from the real world. Neptune is your planetary ruler and he has also shown you some wonderful escapes from boring old reality. However, he can also make life deeply confusing, so you should welcome his departure from the Twelfth House of your horoscope. Life will feel remarkably different. Some psychic or intuitive experiences may cease. Enjoy your new world though.

Aries

From Friday, reality returns to your social life or group involvements, with the departure of a situation or person which has left you all at sea. The lack of boundaries may have been online or offline, but now you will know where you stand. Look at the timing and pace of work, university or non-profit issues. It may appear to be the most urgent and important item on your agenda as the week goes on, but is it really? Standing back from the situation and coolly assessing it has a lot to recommend it.

Taurus

From Friday forward, it’s all about the real world when it comes to work, university life or the non-profit sector. It may take some time to adjust to the fact that there are now lines to cross, and rules to observe, or specific territories for you to inhabit. Perhaps the departure of one person, project or position is the key. Maybe other factors are responsible – but at last you can plant your hooves on solid earth. Friends or groups are the new focus. And they really will need focus. Again, it may take some time to adjust.

Gemini

Your career, your life as a student or your role as a volunteer now requires navigation and a willingness to learn as you go. After Friday, Neptune changes signs, in an historic new cycle which will affect how clearly you see your calling in life. Soon after February 14th there will be discussions, news or paperwork affecting the course you take. At that point it is important to watch what is being said or promised. All you will feel at the moment is a new vagueness about who fits in where, or what belongs where!

Cancer

The most muddled and muddling financial cycle for years will end on Friday, and the Full Moon on February 7th seems likely to trigger some kind of final decision. What happens to the American economy and sharemarket will also symbolically happen to you, as she is Cancerian too. If you are committing to a brand new plan to travel, publish, teach, study or write then try to keep it on solid ground from the very beginning.  It is important that this stays as clear as possible, given that plans will be locked in near the 14th.

Leo

It’s time to look at what you’re creating in terms of the money, the house, the business, the possessions or the apartment. If you are pushing others too far, they will have to respond. If you are being pushed, though, a military-style strategy should do the job. The best news all week is the departure of Neptune from your zone of partners and enemies. For years, now, you have been shadow boxing anyone against you or dealing with the most unreal situations involving those whom you love. It’s over.

Virgo

A new cycle affecting your relationship with a past, present or potential partner begins on Friday, though it may not be until February 13-16 (Saint Valentine’s Day and thereafter) that you realise just what this means. Until then if anyone new swims into your tank, then make sure you know exactly what kind of fish you are dealing with. The useful thing about this new cycle is the fresh start it gives you with work, daily routine, volunteer roles or university life. No more constant uncertainty. Oh, what a relief.

Libra

For years now, you have been living with Neptune in your Fifth House, which rules your children and your heirs or heiresses apparent – a younger generation whom you contribute to. By its very nature, sex comes into this category (to parent, or not to parent?) and the cycle has obviously affected your personal life, partly thanks to the arrival of Uranus in your house of partners. The good news is, at least one issue has now gone. The lack of clarity and cohesiveness is over. You truly are on solid ground.

Scorpio

See what might happen one, two or three months from now with the friend or group which is generating so much heat or action. It’s best to see these things over the long-term. You are now entering a new cycle which will affect your relationship with children and influence your thoughts about sex. It may be a new person or situation, ushered in after Friday, which begins everything. Alternatively, expect a subtle shift in the atmosphere. Try to keep things very clear from the start. A decision is looming.

Sagittarius

Keep it real where the house, flat, family or share household is concerned. There may be some confusion for you, he, she or they after Friday and it may help to be conscious of potential problems from the start. Of course, there will be times when your home or clan feels like the most delightful escape – a true alternative to the boring old real world. Unless there are some limits and road rules, though, you could wake up to find yourself in a situation where everything floats and nothing is fixed. Boundaries is a good word.

Capricorn

The house, the money, the business or the flat is about to make a lot more sense. There will be an important decision near the Full Moon on February 7th when one look overhead, and you will see a full circle, reminding you that everything has come full circle. You may or may not be directly affected by the fate of the Euro or other global issues. But down here on planet earth you must get things back on track as quickly as possible. There have been moments when it’s all been like a dream – but reality is calling.
