Rising sign horoscopes for Jan. 15 – 21

Aries: Trepidation can be a great indicator and motivator for leveling up. You’re ready to fill bigger shoes in your work. Let the fear be your guide and set the bar higher than ever before.

Taurus: Your highest self is yearning for you to write the bestselling copy for your personal revolution’s epilogue. This is the week to rise, rise, rise and soar to your greatest heights.

Gemini: When you RSVP yes to the invitation to go deeper within yourself, your openness signals the same to others. The power of intimacy and vulnerability may pleasantly surprise you.

Cancer: Are you aware of the brightness of your own light? There are others who see it too or even encourage you to glow brighter. Surround yourself with more glow-enhancers.

Leo: Consider what you can add to your daily routines that will raise your vibration. A higher vibe within you creates a ripple effect from within that radiates outward. Commit and shine!

Virgo: It’s time to unleash your inner spark, which may have been dimmed due to past responses from others. Bliss is a birthright you can learn to reclaim, restore, and treasure.

Libra: How would your mindset change or shift if you knew you were totally supported in every endeavor? It can when you know in your heart that you are your root and your support.

Scorpio: Truly recognize the power of your thoughts, words, and how you see yourself. The universe mirrors your self-image and reflections through others. Elevate and be elevated.

Sagittarius: Aspire to fill your days with more love. Ultimately, the first step is to cherish yourself. It can be as simple as lifting yourself up with a compliment or positive thought.

Capricorn: Your inner light is ready to illuminate brighter than ever before. Others may be attracted to you during the process; guard your sacred flame and all your devotion to its kindling.

Aquarius: To what or whom are you seeking full devotion? The practice of devotion not only commits your energy to something, it also commits your consciousness. Remember this.

Pisces: Continue engaging in that which lights you up! It’s an infinite feedback loop between your own heightened vibes and the ripple effect into the universe. Keep the momentum going!

Weekly astrology summary:

This week invites us all to go deep after last week’s intense frictions. An energetically incredible Capricorn new moon arrives at 2:51 p.m. on Jan. 18, which is the first new moon of the year. The magic of Capricorn is illuminated behind the cosmic scenes as the seeding occurring during this new lunar cycle taps into the daring and unique with its connection to Uranus, a rare opportunity that won’t occur again for another 80-plus years! Dream big, dig deep, and revel in the potential of impressive new beginnings. As the moon moves forward, its next encounter will be with potent Pluto, as will each personal planet that’s following Venus’s lead, in succession as each shifts from Capricorn to Aquarius. This is a very exceptional and powerful time for transformation and rebirth.

Aquarius season begins on Jan. 19 as the sun follows the moon’s lead into the shadowy terroir. Personal and collective experiences and events may seem secretive and underhanded, with power struggles at play. Remember, though, the highest expression of Aquarius is liberation, freedom, and eccentricity that is rooted in invention for humanitarian support systems. The week closes out with the midpoint of messenger Mercury’s cycle on Jan. 21. Think back to late November; are any ideas or experiences beginning to mature?
