Astrology and horoscopes offer an alternative insight into our individual experiences in an increasingly alternative world. Ancient civilizations believed in the power of the ‘spheres’ in the sky, with one such obvious example being the Sun and its special rays that drench the planet and nurture life on Earth, integral to our existence by influencing many unseen mechanisms in the body, from hormone production to sleep patterns. As the planet we call home is immersed in this very necessary solar energy every day, so are we, its inhabitants. Following your Sun sign in astrology, whether you’re an independent and pioneering Aries, a curious and inquisitive Sagittarius or a sensitive and sensual Pisces, can reveal hidden meanings and messages from the stars that ancient civilizations so confidently used.
Your Sun sign is based on your month of birth, you probably already know which sign you are. To really get the most out of astrology, try following your Sun sign horoscope for a few weeks to see how it connects.
The planetary patterns in any moment are usually full of retrograde, critical or high impact movements, requiring some kind of re-evaluation or patience from each and every one of us when handling this thing called life. But this week and beyond, we are in a temporarily retrograde free zone, making this the perfect time to push forward, get ahead and generally just initiate.
Between now and April it’s a clear path forward for all zodiac signs where work, money, relationships and general thinking processes go much more smoothly, yielding great results. Alongside the general theme of uninterrupted progress, Venus, the planet of fortune, food and money, moves into a new sign, Pisces, which is particularly great news for Cancer and Leo zodiac signs.
Cancer Astrological Sign
You’ve been bogged down in a situation or job that may have felt restrictive or beneath you. Anything out of alignment with your future goals has to go, and it has to go now! You may become hyper aware of anything holding you back or pushing you under this week.
It’s time to explore your options by actioning change where you may be feeling self pity. You’re drawn to new experiences like a different fitness class or a change of employment. Somewhere along that spectrum, something needs to change, and you know it.
If you’re planning travel in the first half of the year, you may be putting the details together for that very soon. Define the when, where and how.
Most of all, enjoy the changes happening and where possible, laugh at the comedy in life all around you.
Leo Astrological Sign
If you are a fiery Leo you are naturally drawn to the centerstage of life whether you take that position yourself or its handed to you, and this week it gets handed to you! An intensified, passionate, or even romantic situation in your orbit begins to amplify. At first you may feel vulnerable, making a big decision that impacts the life of someone else also can be daunting even for a usually confident Leo. It helps to remember you are stabilizing your desires.
Avoid overlooking your own needs whether through taking excessive care of others, or trying to please them out of necessity.
Side note: stay ahead of credit payments this week!!
