Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of January 28th

Relationship rules may shift this weekend as the planetary lovers Venus and Mars change signs on Friday. The alluring planet of amour enters Aquarius where independence and unconventionality trump tradition and sentiment. Yet energetic Mars’ move into gentle Pisces adds tender touches and a reluctance to come on strong. Volunteering for a cause or serving a higher purpose, though, is a wonderful way to connect.
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Let the pleasures you seek come to you instead of pushing so hard to pursue them this weekend. Your ruling planet Mars softens on Friday upon entering spiritual Pisces, encouraging you to be more open to receiving love and affection. This emotional interlude is best spent in quiet places where you don’t have to shout to be heard above the noise of the crowd. Privacy is especially precious now because it allows you to reveal your vulnerable side and invite a companion into your heart.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

A relationship can head off in a radically different direction when your magnetic ruling planet Venus dances into quirky Aquarius on Friday. Break your social habits and experiment with new ways to play. Don’t give in to pressure from someone who doesn’t want to change. You are happier spending time in the company of a less conventional person rather than trying to please a rigid individual to no avail. Freedom comes first now. It’s okay if you choose to avoid all the drama and escape to a drama-free zone.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your taste for exotic experiences and unconventional people intensifies this weekend. Alluring Venus enters avant-garde Aquarius and your 9th House of Faraway Places on Friday, which makes foreign cultures and intellectually stimulating individuals infinitely more appealing. Learning experiences and educational settings can also provide ample opportunities to meet someone who catches your eye. Conversation is the key ingredient as your mind will lead your heart to love.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your social life gets steamy on Saturday when the Moon slips into sultry Scorpio. This passion heats up your 5th House of Romance and emboldens you to express your desires with greater intensity. Don’t sit back and wait for someone to come to you; get out there and go after what you want. You’re sensitive enough to know how to express your needs without making others uncomfortable. A little bit of seduction goes a long way now toward creating the intimacy you seek.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Romance should get a sweet boost this weekend when alluring Venus enters your 7th House of Partners on Friday. But the path to the heart goes through your head now, when being smart can make the difference between delight and disappointment. Attraction to someone who is not your usual type or doing something unexpected with your current partner could produce an extremely pleasant surprise. Explore and experiment to find the treasure you deserve.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Passionate Mars slips into your 7th House of Relationships on Friday to add a touch of magic to your personal life over the next six weeks. Tenderness and compassion are the keys to finding inspiration with your current partner or in connecting with someone new. Your hopes are high, which opens the door to intimacy, but your ability to assess others could be a little fuzzy. It’s fine to indulge in a fantasy romance as long as you don’t build your future on it.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You should be ready to rock out this weekend as your magnetic ruling planet Venus dances into your playful 5th House on Friday. A cool new look and an outgoing attitude are bound to attract plenty of attention your way without the appearance of searching for it. Having a cheerful disposition and being creative in your approach makes you someone others naturally want to be around. Being friendly is a plus as long as an undesirable person doesn’t misread your signals. Establishing clear boundaries avoids any misunderstandings spoiling your fun.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Action-planet Mars slides into dreamy Pisces and your 5th House of Romance on Friday, which should add some juice to your social life for the next six weeks. Let your imagination run free to play whatever kind of role you want. The evocative Moon’s presence in your sign on Saturday creates another layer of passion and intensity that is likely to bring your feelings to the surface. But learning to express those strong emotions in a lighthearted manner makes you nearly impossible to resist.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your sense of humor could be wicked this weekend with flirty Venus entering brainy Aquarius on Friday. This cosmic shift occurs in your communicative 3rd House, which should make you a fascinating conversationalist over the next six weeks. A casual little chat in a coffee shop could turn into something more personal if you play your cards right. Nevertheless, knowing when to back off from the jokes is essential because the mood can be broken quickly with one inappropriate remark. Watch for the subtle clues so you don’t inadvertently scare off the person you want most.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

A feeling of freedom can lift your sense of self-worth when valuable Venus enters liberating Aquarius on Friday. This confidence boost occurs in your 2nd House of Assets where you grow more desirable by taking some unusual risks. Showing a less conventional side of your personality and breaking some of your personal rules is exciting for you and appealing to others. Lighten up now and people should find you to be more irresistible than ever.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your time to shine starts on Friday when alluring Venus enters your trendsetting sign. Your magnetism increases when you show off your originality and inventiveness. Sure, being a little different may not appeal to everyone’s taste but you’re not trying to win an election. Celebrating your personal style and unique form of beauty is a great way to have fun and pull someone who appreciates your individuality into your unconventional orbit.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You should feel a desire to take on new challenges this weekend as restless Mars enters your sign on Friday. This is not an invitation to behave recklessly but is a reminder to take charge of your personal life. You know how to push people in a gentle way that doesn’t appear bossy but makes your desires known. Taking initiative in relationships is a must since you’re the one with the drive, the imagination and the inspiration to make magic happen.

The Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, January 15th

The truth is difficult to discern today because our fantasies are encouraged now that the diffusive Pisces Moon dissolves the hard edges between fact and fiction. Reality is altered by our imagination, prompting us to see what we believe. Even if we have regular work scheduled, this is also a fantastic time for artistic, poetic and musical creations. Nevertheless, it’s lovely to dream as long as we don’t totally forget about our responsibilities.

 

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

A stroke of genius is right up your alley today and you love it when you’re able to figure out totally new solutions to problems that have you and your associates stuck. But just because you suddenly see the light, don’t assume you can make everyone else see things from your point of view. Patience is not your strongest suit, but it’s still a sensible practice for now.

 

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You may get so lost in your own dreams today that you can’t find your way around in the real world. Nevertheless, you have very important tasks to complete and if you don’t meet these obligations now, life will quickly grow more complicated. Get your chores out of the way as fast as possible, and don’t forget to let others know that you need some time alone. After you are accountable for your actions, you can return to exploring your wild imagination with guilt-free abandon.

 

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You’re not nearly as scattered as others think because you have a plan in place, even if no one knows about it yet. Actually, you may have several options that you’re juggling now, but this complexity is not beyond your natural capability. You can perform with the best of them, but remember that your goal isn’t keeping lots of balls in the air; instead, it’s about being happy. Fortunately, walking away from the distractions might be easier than you realize if you simply make a commitment to do it.

 

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Favorable opportunities arise from the most unusual places now, but this doesn’t make them any less reliable. Emotional interactions with friends or a romantic partner could lead to a conceptual breakthrough in how you reach your goals. Remain open to new possibilities, since your path is about to widen if you just let it happen without worrying so much about the outcome.

 

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Emotions that have you tied in knots may be suddenly released today, as if a magician planned your escape in advance. You could be breathing a sigh of relief from being set free, but you can’t avoid the long-term issues you still face. Instead of running away, accept your current circumstances graciously as you work with determination to transform your life.

 

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

A shady character may let you down today by not following through on promises made, but don’t waste your energy getting too upset about it. You might not have as much control over the actions of others as you prefer and you’ll only make yourself unhappy if you allow your emotions to get the best of you. Manage your time effectively and concentrate on improving your own work instead of trying to change anyone else.

 

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be unsure why your day is overtaken by tasks that don’t help you move any closer to your goals. You might be feeling less than ambitious now, so it’s advantageous to just do whatever is expected of you. Even if you have lots of transformational ideas, applying them at work could take more effort than you’re willing to invest. Entertaining fantasies about the future is enough to bring you satisfaction today.

 

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

An unexpected emotional encounter can shock your nervous system today and wake you up from a deep sleep. You may be in a bit of denial about where your life is heading and now you can begin to see things more clearly. Don’t make the big changes yet; just playfully consider each possibility as it floats into your awareness.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

If you are stressed out about making a financial decision, don’t just take the easy way out today. There is more going on now than meets the eye; you’ll be better off if you let the current situation take its course for a while longer, giving you additional time to discern what’s best. Rest assured that your thoughts will grow clearer in the days ahead. Once your confidence returns, you will feel empowered to make the right choice.

 

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may have to let go of control over your schedule today. One thing after another comes up and you might have to accept that you cannot handle so much chaos at once. Don’t judge yourself too harshly while responding to the demands of the day. Do the best you can and let some of the loose ends stay unraveled until tomorrow when you have sufficient time to handle them all.

 

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Responsibilities at work may conflict with your personal goals, but try not to let that concern you too much at this time. You might not have as much clarity as you want now, so avoid making a decision based upon inaccurate facts or incomplete data. Use this time to explore all of your options, without eliminating any of them. Most of all, be patient with yourself; you’ll figure out what you want within a few days.

 

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are living in two distinct worlds today. On one hand, you’re quite comfortable floating around in the dreamy fuzziness of your own imagination. On the other hand, you are uncovering more factual information than you know how to manage. Find ways to integrate your feelings with your rational thoughts. When they magically merge, it’s time to swing into heroic action.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 14th

Bear down and stay in command of all your faculties as the cosmos lowers the boom with a cavalcade of celestial seasonings. One minute after midnight (12:01AM PST), Mercury makes a caustic, 135-degree link to Jupiter. This puts communications and travel plans into temporary disarray while the Moon in Aquarius remains in void mode until 2:50AM PST. Once the Moon enters Pisces at 2:50AM PST, the monthly lunar union with dreamy Neptune is next on the agenda (5:21AM PST). Write down visions in a special notebook as dreams can often foretell the future.  Watch out for over-optimism as Venus makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with Jupiter (5:37AM PST). Logic and common sense come to the rescue as Mercury makes an inspirational, 72-degree tie with Saturn (10:28AM PST). Strive to add a sensitive and soothing touch to primary partnerships as Juno unites with Pluto at 10 degrees of Capricorn (2:18PM PST) while the monthly Moon-Chiron union takes place just a few minutes later (2:24PM PST).  More creative, artistic and nurturing vibes can appear when the Moon in Pisces forms a supportive, 60-degree tie with Venus in Capricorn (3:23PM PST). Your ingenious mind may be working overtime this evening — thanks to an inspirational, 72-degree link from Mercury to Uranus (7:01PM PST).  Interest grows concerning holistic healing modalities and alternative medical therapies as Jupiter squares Chiron from Gemini to Pisces (10:11PM PST). Meditate for peace of mind and emotional serenity.
