WEEKLY STELLAR SCOPES by Daija
Sunday Jan 11th thru Saturday Jan 17th


Aries
This week you'll be preparing for future communications with old friends, ex partners, and perhaps a new friend or two made on the way. Be aware that your plans can go awry and that most of the time there will be delays. Make it your business this week to give yourself extra time, and if you think you need to check on something or check up on someone, do so! Check in with those whom you made arrangements with to ensure that everyone is on the same page, whether in terms of the time, venue and date. You will find that particular friendships are more important and hold a higher priority than others, and you will make time for those most important to you. Reconnecting with Friends and Family is important now. And what ever is going on, especially in your romantic life, takes root.

Taurus
It can seem that someone is attempting to block you or your efforts. Don't be dismayed by this sudden attempt, you will meet your opposition at the door. There is no time like now to renew your gym membership and make sure you're in tiptop shape, physically and mentally. Due to Mercury retrograde beginning today, Jan 11th, this time now could be particularly exhausting or annoying because you really have been taken advantage of by someone whom you love. Refrain from signing any documents or at least read & reread the fine print. Meetings and interviews can also be delayed. If you're waiting on the mail, or even an email, it's likely to be lost or undeliverable. A new love pops onto the scene and you're feeling rather 'randy' and ever so romantic this week. A genuine 'sweet' week.

Gemini
If you're traveling my dear winged friends, it's time to clip your wings, at least for this week. Mercury, your ruling planet begins retrograde today, the 11th, and this brings about casual and most often minor challenges with gadgets, time delays, and international wire communications. If you must travel, then prepare for long delays, and keep abreast of travel & news reports. Although I never recommend signing legal documents during a Merc retro, this week is ultra fabulous for business, and you will find yourself in the negotiation seat, with just about everyone agreeing with you. Your talents are in demand now, and you're on top of your game. You are praised and or recognized, likely rewarded in some very special or specific way. Your input is welcome, and your romantic life blesses you. 

Cancer
Are you looking for romance? Love? A new friend? Caution!! Where you are currently in relationship, and the person whom you're with, is the right one, for you.
Romance, love and relationship isn't about taking it easy or taking things for granted. You give what you get, and right now, you are tuned into giving more love to the one you love, and this all comes back to you '100 fold'. You are considering and reconsidering your options, and where you're going and how you're going to arrive. If you're about commitment, then let that special person in your life know that s/he is 'the one' and you'll suddenly be blessed with a most incredible loving experience second to nothing you've ever experienced in your life. Remember the path of true love never runs completely smoothly. Think positively.

Leo
Shhhhush... it's time to be quiet and still. You do your best thinking, dreaming and 'hibernating' when you are spiritually tuned in. Using your quick wit and a special recipe and blend of positive reinforcement, determination, and your extra sweet charismatic charm is your greatest weapon when it's time to 'ask for what you want'. People around you this week just want to see you happy, see you smile and see you 'feel good when they are around you'. Due to Mercury retrograde there is likely to be miscommunications with those in your close proximity, so careful what you are saying out loud or to others, lest you hurt someone feelings unnecessarily. Simply take your time, slow everything down this week to a crawl, and you'll get thru. In fact, you are likely to sneak up on something lost or forgotten.

Virgo
Mercury, your ruling planet can be rather mischievous this week, creating havoc in all your communications. Whether you are on the net, phone, or live, there are likely to be communication glitches that will not be avoided or ignored. You are attempting to get something finished or complete a project deadline, and you may need to ask for an extension. There are many issues and ideas in your career area that you will be addressing over the next week. Be cautious when making monetary or contract decisions. If you attempt to help someone or preform a good deed or two, your efforts may be thwarted by elements that are out of your control. If those around you need time, attention, praise, or feedback, give it but make sure that you are looking at their needs vs. your own. Be alert & aware!

Libra
Thinking of making a large new purchase, or perhaps buying a new home? Think again and again before you solidify any major deal this week, or for the next three weeks to be exact. Any plans or projects begun now are likely to take a long time, so simply bide your time now, by thinking about things you'd like to do regarding your new or existing home or business, and negotiate, plan and create. You are about to feel the effects of Merc retro in areas where you have solid plans and deadlines. So better to give yourself some extra room for delays and people who could be undermining your efforts. Be still and allow life to take shape for you, while you go on about daily business, keeping things status quo. Doors of opportunity open for you this week, and suddenly you are sure about your goals.

Scorpio
With the Sun's (power) fantastic angle to Uranus (surprise) it's sure to assist you in a broader thinking ability, fantasy driven speculations that turn out to be your reality, and you add to your gains with better profit margins in all your investments. Due to your keen ability to gather data, you are able to shake things up a bit in a way that will increase your daily generated revenues and monthly returns. You are rather enlightened this week and quite proud of how you are able to handle those in authority as well as your peer pressure. You are better able this week to let go of your security and fly, or go and try something you've never done. This is a power week for you and one of the next three that will take you on a wild ride of interesting communications with those around you, and in the workplace, especially.

Sagittarius
Never say never, or you may just eat your words! Your new plans for the New Year may be delayed until the first of Feb due to the Mercury retrograde. But don't let this stop your planning or negotiating for something new and better for your life and lifestyle. You are about to embark on a new idea that may stir the pot at work, or open a door for you in a new place, whether a new geographic location, or a new department at your current employ, chances are your long term stability is something of the past. And this is by choice, not by force. You are well on your way to something new and better paying, money just flows your way. Your partner or lover is about to ask you for something important. Their circumstances have changed and they feel you are ignoring them. Give them a word of praise.

Capricorn
Have you ever felt that life was passing you by? This week marks a time of recreating things and experiences in your life that will make you a happier and more emotionally available person. In fact, you can be quite the solution finder at work, your boss praises you and together you work out a grand plan that brings about a raise and recognition. You may feel slightly out of sorts this week in your communications, as though you need a hearing aid or at least someone to repeat themselves, and several times----you can't believe your ears! Just make sure that you actually did 'hear' what you heard. Careful not to repeat things that you do hear this week, as you could find yourself apologizing forever. Restructure your exercise plans, and reconsider a new gym or perhaps consider martial arts or yoga.

Aquarius
Ready set "GO"... yes, it's full steam ahead for you this week, or is it? Your thoughts are expansive now that Jupiter entered your sign and has given you huge optimism. Yet, as Mercury retrogrades, you may feel as though you are taking one foot forward and one foot back. This week is not quite the program that you planned. You are privy to secret information that only people generally pay for, so careful not to open up to those with big mouths. You are not at liberty to share this new gained knowledge, but feel so intrigued by having it that you may just be salivating to share it with someone. Gossip doesn't serve well right now, so keep things under your hat, at least for the moment. Due to those involved, confidential issues need clarity before you can openly talk. Bide your time, let things relax & simmer.


Pisces
So you feel hooked on your idea only to learn that someone else decided 'already' that their plan is better and better suited for the team's agenda, plans may go awry, or at least be delayed. This week proves to be a bit frustrating, yet, you rarely run from challenges. You're all about feeling the need for acceptance. Chances are, your plan is best. And in the end, your plan or project will be the 'one' used. By the time this occurs, you will have gotten over your need to be right, or basically just washed your hands in the ideas of any preconceived plans. New romance is yours, if you desire it. A new friend wants your attention, yet you're unsure of yourself and of their intent. Think twice before making new purchases or signing contracts, if you can rid yourself of clutter, this is the time for clearing a path.
