The Cosmic Connection
Rising sign horoscopes for Jan. 8 – 14
♈ Aries: Growth and new beginnings in your professional and public life challenge you, your private life, and your relationships. The breakthrough is in remaining devoted to your goals.
♉ Taurus: Your newest adventure is unstoppable. Continue achieving the form and structure of its manifestation with the purest thoughts and intentions. Resting is important when needed.
♊ Gemini: Expansion and a refresh of your resources come at a price. Putting your social life and usual outlets for fun on hold creates the space for your investments to flourish.
♋ Cancer: An evaluation of your relationships arises this week. The prevalent themes will be around who truly supports you, accepts your authenticity, and encourages your biggest dreams.
♌ Leo: Results of dedication to your health and wellness begin to show, as well as room for improvement. Small changes can become daily habits, fostering a better body, mind, and spirit.
♍ Virgo: The creative force within you needs an outlet. Sources of inspiration are all around you. Create simply for the sake of creation, regardless of the outcome or feedback from others.
♎ Libra: Family matters take center stage this week, specifically around a father or father figure, challenging your own maternal instincts. The initiation is to remain emotionally balanced.
♏ Scorpio: A redirection of your focus from longer-term forays to shorter-term matters becomes important. Calling your energy back is a good practice to prevent being spread thin.
♐ Sagittarius: A confidence boost is incoming, although it’s up to you to read between the lines. Remember that you are the creator of your own joy, happiness, and sense of self-worth.
♑ Capricorn: Tap into your softer side, and show yourself some love and self-care this week. New and maturing energies present an opportunity for you to harness your inner magic.
♒ Aquarius: Although your inner skeptic may think otherwise, it’s time to seriously consider taking your spiritual practices to the next level. Commit and become more fulfilled.
♓ Pisces: You’re doing the transformational inner work. The next step is having the confidence to put yourself out there and build community. Take initiative, and reap the rewards.
Weekly astrology summary:
This week kicks off the more intense energies of January. On Jan. 9, a new Mars cycle begins in Capricorn, flavoring the red planet’s next two-year journey with determination, ambition, and endurance. As the week continues, a series of intense squares in all the cardinal signs can influence us with much irritation. The cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) usher in new beginnings and initiation. The best way to handle the irritation is to allow your heart to guide you and to be open to lessons that, when faced, lead to breakthroughs, healing, and personal growth. Underlying cosmic connections can also bring in surprising situations.
Keep looking up! One saving grace is Jupiter’s full illumination on Jan. 10, which is so beautiful. Look to the east after sunset to see Jupiter’s bright light and visually connect with the biggest planet. See the above horoscope for your rising sign for more specific insight and guidance.
