Horoscope
with Lilith
As this week's Venus escapes the constricting confines of Scorpio for playful, entertaining Sagittarius (whacko!), retrograde Mercury in Capricorn makes the observation about a sense of humour being more precious than pearls particularly relevant, and elevates the ability to see the funny side into a crucial survival skill...
Aries: Retro Mercury's inevitably a trying astro-transit, demanding as it does patience and longterm vision which Rams are sometimes short on. But it also requires persistence and willingness to learn from experience, which are your forte. And that's your clue, so take your cue...
Taurus: The weekend Tauran Moon plus your boss goddess Venus in Sagittarius definitely inclines this week's social life towards exciting and delighting. Only fly in the cosmic ointment is judgemental, censorious Mars in Scorpio - counteracted by more celebrating and less complaining.
Gemini: While responsible Saturnian pressures have you taking care of more business than you wanted, the present starry scenario supports your successful progression towards this year's goals - and with enough inspired outrageousness to stop life getting boring and ordinary.
Cancer: Feel like barricading yourself in the Crab cave far from the madding crowd to regroup your resources and concentrate on future strategies? While that's not an unwise move, keep in mind that Capricorn time's the best for networking those upwardly mobile connections.
Leo: Saturnian influences can stimulate tendencies to be dismissive of the needs and/or feelings of others - who aren't here merely to fulfill your (admit it) demanding expectations... Which makes practising tolerance and generosity this week's most profitable Leonine exercises.
Virgo: Planetary placements are definitely Virgo-friendly at present so why squander them on fault-finding and criticising? Use them instead to implement creative ways of working with this week's determined energies to produce concrete and satisfyingly solid results.
Libra: If this week's downside drops you back to earth with a bit of a thud, don't in any way let that discourage you from using its organised, no-nonsense upside to get ready, steady and prepared for the unprecedently soul-expanding Libran year ahead.
Scorpio: As Mars continues delivering its massive attack of get up and go, try not to take every little thing really seriously, because soon it won't even be an issue. Lighten up - let those emotions that don't often see the light of day out to play...
Sagittarius: Social easer Venus is Joseph's-coating you this week with a glamorous dazzle where friendships, partnerships and groups are concerned - and how absolutely Wow! is that? Just make an effort not to expend all this fabulous energy on external activities alone...
Capricorn: Ambition torments my heart, Ambition keeps us apart... Don't be ruled or fooled by the curse of Capricorn - or let retro Mercury activate your curt and cranky, moody and humourless shadow side. Focus instead on the many benefits you already have.
Aquarius: Aquarians really admire smart ideas, so here's one: Take every advantage of this week's Capricornian vibes to get some solid structures in place for dealing with change before this year launches you on its inevitably wild and woolly rollercoaster ride.
Pisces: While you mightn't entirely feel like applying yourself this week, don't waste precious energy angsting over other people's failings because this is prime Piscean time for taking essential steps into the material world. And whatever you go for, you're almost certainly going to get...
