Skywatch for the Week of Jan. 10 – 17

403

By Flo Higgins
Anyone born this week is a combination of the planets Saturn and Uranus.
They are born on the cusp of Capricorn and Aquarius so they must learn to deal with the unpredictable and the totally responsible of the two signs.
This is a challenge from the get-go. Trying to combine Capricorn and Aquarius together is a man-size job that takes time and energy to accomplish.
To those born this week the gift of power and the talent of uniqueness is a treasure to anyone who knows them. They offer family and friends a unique way of looking at life. They are original in their outlook on life and offer each of us a new way of looking at our lives. They can be a pleasure to know and love.
People born this week: Rod Stewart, Jan. 10, 1945; Naomi Judd, Jan. 11, 1946; Kirstie Alley, Jan. 12, 1951; Liam Hemsworth, Jan. 13, 1990; Orlando Bloom, Jan. 13, 1968; Steven Soderbergh, Jan. 14, 1963; Martin Luther King, Jan. 15, 1929; Kate Moss, Jan. 16, 1974; and Maury Povich, Jan. 17, 1939.
 
The full moon in Cancer on Wednesday signals a week of high emotions and a time of swift decision making – but it would be wise to wait on really big decisions until after the full moon. Mars remains in Libra giving Libra, Capricorn, Aries and Cancer folks cause to think twice before making any quick, big-time moves. Best day for that would be Friday, Jan. 17.
Aries (March 21 to April 20) If you haven’t settled some of the situations that came to light in 2013, you might consider finishing some of them starting up right now. There are some matters that just won’t disappear without some real help from you. As soon as you finish, a new relationship will come into your life.
Taurus (April 21 to May 20) Your tendency to stay with projects – even when they are totally done –should be let go early this year. Also, once you have let go of one short-term relationship, you will feel a new energy and new talents will appear. You need to finish a few things and let the New Year happen. A new look at life is good.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20) The atmosphere around you is goading you into a new you. Don’t fight it. Be wise and relax and enjoy your new attitudes and start to develop a new lifestyle. A friend from the past could cross your path and be a really good omen for you. Don’t get mixed up in nonsense. For you it’s a waste of time.
Cancer (June 21 to July 20) If you are still looking at your life in a negative way, it is time to shift gears. You need to continue working on a cheerful outlook. It will pay off considering the changes you are now undergoing. Remember, your family is at the top of your priority list. Now is the time to remember that fact.
Leo (July 21 to Aug. 20) Life is starting to work according to your needs so keep doing the work you have been doing. The real success here is the fact you take so little personally. A new friend could develop into a lasting and strong friendship. Work at it and see how good you really feel.
Virgo (Aug. 21 to Sept. 20) You may have been tempted by situations lately, some not so good, but just slow down. Your organized mind needs more details for you to be happy. Go after them and reorganize your attitude. Plus, keep your eyes open to the new people coming into your life.
Libra (Sept. 21 to Oct. 20) You are going through a deep mental or physical change in direction. After all Mars, Uranus and Pluto are all making aspects to your Libra sun. You can’t avoid a new attitude. Relationships will take on a new color and that will be extremely good for you.
Scorpio (Oct. 21 to Nov. 20) As you start a new year, you are also starting a new personal outlook. There will be new people coming into your circle and they will offer you the drama you love. So it is time to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and get exactly what it is you want for yourself.
Sagittarius (Nov. 21 to Dec. 20) This is no time to settle for less than you want. So go slow and don’t get carried away with Neptune and its fancy daydreams. Be aware of your changing needs and know you are headed for a good time. After all, the good life is closing in on your territory.
Capricorn (Dec. 21 to Jan. 20) The potential for growth in your career actually depends on your attitude. The more you are able to see the bright side and welcome newcomers into your life, the better. It is time to realize that with wise planning you will be in a much better position within months. No more stalling.
Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 20) Spending the time and energy on a new project is well worth it. A new venture started after the full moon this week could certainly take off and make you proud. Look for some response to your latest proposals. They will pay off well. A new friend could really surprise you.
Pisces (Feb. 21 to March 20) With the vibes of Neptune surrounding you now, you can dream up some fancy projects. Don’t ignore the new ideas that pop into your mind. You are on the edge of a big journey into the creative world. An old friend could cheer up your life and make you smile. So keep looking around.
