Weekly Horoscope: January 9–15, 2023

If you feel like things haven’t been going your way lately, there’s a lot of cosmic evidence that your luck will turn around this week. Starting with Monday’s charismatic, friendly, and determined Leo moon (representing our emotional support structure) that can magically open doors that were once completely shut to you. People might get jealous or resentful of you now, but don’t let that stop you from becoming the star you were meant to be.

The biggest planetary news comes on Thursday when power player Mars (our planetary motivator) turns direct while partnered with adaptable, witty air sign Gemini. This move allows you to take your finger off the Pause button and move forward with a lot of things that have been stagnant since way back in October of last year.

Friday’s sextile between the dazzling sun (representing our identity) and imaginative Neptune (the cosmic dreamer) lights up your creativity zone and increases your intuition. Blocking out distractions and tapping into your subconscious re-connects you with your inner thoughts/spiritual self and helps you use them to increase your self-awareness in miraculous ways.

Saturday and Sunday’s very different lunar square-offs with the shining sun and dark Pluto can mess with your mood, but you don’t have to end the week on a low note. Turn that frown upside down with the decision to control your own destiny. Reacting to problems with a positive attitude makes all the difference in finding a desirable outcome.
