Your Weekly Horoscope By Element - Week of January 11-17, 2010

The Air Signs
Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

You love peace, harmony, and serenity, thanks to your Zodiac Signs of Air. Procrastination is your watchword this week. Your desire to put your tasks off will accelerate on Wednesday, as Saturn turns retrograde. You'll want to postpone your duties and head off to a sunny climate for a long holiday. Remember that your real life will be waiting for you the moment you step back on home ground. You'll become extremely mellow and lackadaisical. Make sure you don't become too lazy or overindulge your appetites. Your relationship with a family member takes a new turn on Friday as the New Moon Solar Eclipse takes place in your sector of home and family. Your relative may surprise you by apologizing for his or her past behavior. Remember that it's up to you whether you want to forgive and forget and allow this person back into your life. On Saturday you'll be very feisty as the Moon in rebellious Aquarius opposes militant Mars retrograde in Leo. You'll be unwilling to back down when you tangle with an associate on an issue that's important to you.

Your Love Week—Air Signs:

Venus, still a key player, meets the Sun in the sanctuary of your four walls on January 11th and your relationship sizzles. Honesty is always the best policy. One of the planets in that place of behind-the-scenes action is suspicious Pluto, and there may be some quiet seething that you aren't aware of but soon will be. The Solar Eclipse on January 15th could bring an unexpected confession to stir up the cosmic stew. On the very same day, Mercury moves into direct motion and compromise puts you both back on the path to hot love. Often with a retrograde Mars (and especially in the house of the partner), there could be more touchiness than Air Signs is used to handling. It could be that the footloose Air Signs get possessive on January 17th. Don't let a good fantasy fizzle and ask one question too many. You do have the protection of a Solar Eclipse. With all your airy charm, you can possibly rub two thoughts together and start a new fire under your relationship.

The Fire Signs
Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Your playful ability is one of your best qualities! Your sunny disposition is a real tonic for those around you. You'll be in high spirits on Monday as the Moon trines Mars retrograde in Leo. You may decide to slack off from your responsibilities and just enjoy yourself. You Fire Signs are very forthright and you believe in telling the truth. However, on Tuesday, as the Moon in blunt Sagittarius squares explosive Uranus, you'll need to find the right words when you speak your truth to an associate. It's a challenge for you to be tactful, so remind yourself that you can do anything you set out to accomplish! You'll embark on a voyage of self-discovery on Sunday as Jupiter starts a yearlong visit in mystical Pisces. You'll become more introspective during the next several months. An opportunity to move to a new location may open up for you on Sunday as beneficial Jupiter enters Pisces. You'll discover that you have good fortune in your domestic environment during the months ahead.

Your Love Week—Fire Signs:

January 13th finds Saturn, the planet with the icy rings, cooling off a relationship unless you use your eloquent style to warm up the atmosphere. The good news is that a Solar Eclipse in Capricorn on January 15th sheds light on the situation. Mercury moves into direct motion on that very same day, and there could be a confession of feelings on the table (your feelings, that is). Mars, the action-hero planet, is still retrograde. Whenever a planet is retrograde, we gravitate toward tweaking our relationships, and that's what you'll attempt. The Solar Eclipse solidifies a close relationship. Mercury moves into direct motion on that very same day and you find it easy to express yourself and win any mock disputes or sexy debating. Visionary Jupiter enters Pisces on January 17th and you can expect closed-door romance to be at the top of your list.

The Water Signs
Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Water Signs, new friends will enter your life this week and your life is going to change quite a bit. Your social life will get busier than it has been. On Friday the New Moon Solar Eclipse brings new people for you to meet via your membership in a worthy cause. On Sunday the Universe sends you a lovely present as Jupiter, the planet of blessings and good fortune, enters the Water Sign of the Fish for a yearlong stay. You'll be inundated with positive energy! Your intuition and creativity will increase, and that's saying a lot. As a perceptive Water Sign, you already have a keen sixth sense and a very artistic nature. Your artistic side will kick in as well. You have a lot of deep emotions and need to be able to channel your feelings into creative venues. Now you'll have a lot of inspiration to guide you. You'll discover that you have unknown talents and abilities.

Your Love Week—Water Signs:

There could be mixed messages early in the week, as you try to use physical rather than verbal skill to express your love feelings. It isn't until a Solar Eclipse attached to loving Venus on January 15th and Mercury turning direct on the same day that what you're trying to express becomes clear to your partner. At week’s end, the ever-romantic Water Signs are flying high. Neptune is engaged in a dance with loving Venus, and you're fantasizing about the ultimate happy ending. As Mercury moves into direct motion you have the confidence to verbalize what you've been thinking for the past two weeks. On this very same day, a Solar Eclipse shines its light in Capricorn, and it seems that you are your love are skipping along a yellow brick road to happiness. The ultra-generous Jupiter moves into the sign of Pisces on January 17th and adds to the enchantment you experience. You begin to feel a rise in the temperature around your relationship.

The Earth Signs
Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn

You're a busy soul, Earth Signs, thanks to your efficient and organized personality. However, you usually don't have time to actually enjoy the roses in your backyard—the ones you labored to plant! Your life kicks up a notch this week as your desire for excitement takes you to new places and encourages you to become more adventurous! On Wednesday the Sun in Capricorn sextiles bold Uranus and you'll venture out of the safety and security of your backyard to explore the world. Also on Wednesday Saturn, the taskmaster planet, turns retrograde and you may consider giving yourself some leeway so you can enjoy a leisurely walk once in a while. Your life will percolate along at a smoother tempo on Friday as mischievous Mercury, your ruling planet, turns direct. Now your concentration will be back on track and your cell phone will work properly. Your urge to leave your comfort zone will accelerate as the New Moon Solar Eclipse takes place in Capricorn. You'll discover that you're ready to make major alterations in your lifestyle. Your ability to communicate with others will ease up considerably on Sunday.

Your Love Week—Earth Signs:

This week is all about romantic fun and games and L-O-V-E in capital letters. On January 15th a Solar Eclipse (new beginning or deepening of feelings) in Capricorn strengthens the bond that has already been established. If you're an unattached Earth Sign, this Solar Eclipse can bring a person of substance into your life. Mercury also moves into direct motion on this day, and your articulation skills are at their most powerful.

Jupiter and Neptune occupy the same space all month and the climate around your relationship is hot. When Friday rolls around, the Solar Eclipse ignites the Capricorn planets and the heat could turn into an inferno. The planet of communication, Mercury, moves into direct motion on that same day, and the often emotionless Earth Signs show a sentimental side that melts the heart of your sweetie. The planet of expansion and exaggeration, Jupiter, moves into the sign of Pisces on January 17th and you continue to regale your sweetie with words of love. This planet will most likely help you to expand your feelings and brings a new infusion of deeper emotions.
