Weekly Horoscope: January 10–January 16, 2021

As the planets kiss and clash this week, we are up for some surprises and challenges! 

January 11 will bring a tremendously happy day as mental Mercury forms a conjunction with Jupiter in Aquarius. This will bring soaring thoughts, great optimism, and a whirlwind of ideas. Plans for the future can be made now, especially those of a social nature. Good news and fortune may also appear out of thin air!

Mercury prances onward, next meeting a sharp square from Uranus in Taurus on the twelfth. Planets in both Aquarius and Taurus will be colliding this year, forcing us to realize that a stubborn and fixed position helps no one but ourselves. On the other hand, this transit can bring excitement or an unexpected change to our daily plans. We may brainstorm original ideas and have chance encounters. However, this can also create miscommunication, arguments, and shocking news. Despite the urge to dig in our heels, flexibility and an open mind will get us much further now.

A new moon in Capricorn arrives on January 13. This luminary will open a doorway for the collective to make long-term plans and build structures with longevity. An ambitious nature will take one far now, as well as strategizing professional goals. Yet, the ruler of this luminary, Saturn, will be receiving a square with Mars, foretelling that we will face opposition to our plans that make it harder for us to succeed. We may feel frustrated and eager to fight back, but this would further exacerbate the situation. The saving grace here will be Venus in Capricorn in a trine with Uranus in Taurus. Learning to set aside random time for hobbies, romance, fun, and creativity will improve our professional output. This influence can bring freedom, stimulation, and fresh experiences, so embrace them. If looking for a mid-week break, this would be a great time for socializing. Singles should also take a chance on love as their opportunities of encountering someone new increase now.

Uranus, our electric planet of revolution, turns direct on the fourteenth. Uranus has been asleep since August 15 of 2020 in the lands of Taurus. During this time, we have reviewed our personal finances and continued our evolution of the global economy. In the months ahead, Uranus will empower us to make more tangible and concrete changes.

January 14 will bring the blazing sun into a conjunction with transformative Pluto in Capricorn. This is a powerful transit, as it can bring both positive and negative manifestations. On one hand, this will greatly increase one’s personal power and our ability to exert influence over all others around us. However, for this same reason, power struggles and conflicts can also emerge. Dramatic situations can occur, which ultimately force us to be reborn and look at ourselves from a different light. As the sun’s energy illuminates some of the darker tendencies within our spirit, we can face them, understand them, and release them. This is a good time to eliminate things that are no longer serving our higher good.
