Business Horoscope January 16 to January 22

Aries

Thanks to the Moon’s visit to your work sector last week you’re able to move into the new week with your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground, with an intuitive read on when to push and when to pull back. This gives you an edge during what is an important week on the work and career fronts, with Mars spending his last week in direct motion in your work sector and the Sun leaving your career sector on Saturday. On the work front there is a call to hold back, especially with a U turn fast approaching, while on the career front it’s all about getting a sense of your objectives for the coming year. The Moon’s return to your career sector on Saturday, just hours after the Sun leaves will see your professional instincts kick in, with a chance to consider your options over the weekend.

Taurus

As you move into the new week the year itself is just 2 weeks old and your new professional year is already turning into a page turner. It was Venus’ departure from your career sector over the weekend that left you with some clear professional desires and expectations, that you’re able to develop during the course of the week. It’s the Sun’s return to your career sector on Saturday, a New Moon next Monday and Mercury’s return at the end of next week that will shift the focus from one of defining your professional expectations, to walking the talk and to making Neptune’s final weeks count. You also move into the week with the Moon in your work sector, with his alignment with Saturn on Tuesday giving you an intuitive read on where you need to take responsibility or make a stand.

Gemini

Venus’ first full week in your career sector, after returning over the weekend, may see things off to a rocky start, but in reality is the start of a major comeback. On Monday and Tuesday Venus will align with Chiron, planet of healing, which may push some old buttons and reveal where old ghosts still have the power to sabotage you. Yet you can’t change what you can’t see, giving you a chance to resolve the past before moving on. With the Sun, Mercury and Neptune all returning to your career sector next month, get any issues out of the way early in the week, with your confidence increasing as the week progresses. Helping in that process is the Moon’s return to your work sector from Tuesday to Thursday; with his first visit for the year giving you a chance to get your bearings.

Cancer

While you began the year with a lot of professional focus, with Mercury in your work sector and the Moon and Uranus in your career sector, things have scaled back since then. With Mercury gone from your work sector and the Moon long since moved on from your career sector, this was more about giving you a glimpse of what’s possible and something to work towards. At a time when you’re looking at where to channel your time and energy before Venus returns to your career sector early next month, the Moon’s visit to your work sector from Thursday to Saturday will help on that score. As the Moon’s first visit for the year and since Mercury left your work sector, with your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground you’ll find it easy to prioritise and channel your time effectively.

Leo

With Jupiter still coming up to speed after turning direct in your career sector on Boxing Day and with things not really taking off until early March, time is on your side when it comes to establishing your career objectives for 2012. On the work front things are more urgent, with the Sun leaving your work sector on Saturday and Mercury just a week later. Until the Sun leaves continue to keep your eyes open and your head out of the sand, establishing exactly where things stand and what you’re dealing with. The Moon’s return to your work sector on Saturday, just hours after the Sun leaves, will make his first visit for the year one of the most important. Working with Mercury the Moon will return to help you tie up loose ends, getting things on the track you want them to continue on.

Virgo

Venus’ departure from your work sector over the weekend has left you with a lot of desires and a clear sense of where your heart stands, but when it comes to walking the talk or taking things to the next level, don’t be alarmed or surprised if you can’t find the motivation and don’t know where to start. With Mars spending his last full week in direct motion in your sign, the planet that gives you your energy and drive is on strike, making it hard to become motivated or to push things forward, which is why you shouldn’t try. With the Sun not returning to your work sector until Saturday and a New Moon designed to get things moving not falling until next Monday, it’s then that you’ll find your second wind. Until then this is a week for stepping back and refining what you actually want.

Libra

Venus’ return to your work sector over the weekend and her first full week here is likely to be giving a false impression about just what a game changer this has created. To start with you may find that you’re dealing with old doubts or ghosts, as Venus aligns with Chiron on Monday and Tuesday. If there are any roadblocks or anything that could potentially trip you up later down the track, then this alignment will be working to flush them out, giving you a chance to deal with them early in the game. With Neptune returning to your work sector on the 4th February and not leaving until 2026 you’re on the brink of moving into a powerful new chapter, making it important to listen to your heart. Sometimes the path to establishing what you want begins with establishing what you don’t want.

Scorpio

You have a chance to work behind the scenes this week, slowly getting your bearings and working through what is already on the table. For even though, as you move into the new week, 2012 is just over 2 weeks old the Moon has already visited both your work and career sectors, sharpening your instincts on both fronts and leaving you with some valuable clues and hunches to process. With Venus not returning to your work sector until the 8th February, but then kicking off a very active 3 months on the work front, it’s important to hold onto the clues and information already on the table and clarify things in your own mind first. While you already have a real jump on your new professional year, you have time to consider your next moves, with little or no urgency or pressure.

Sagittarius

As much as your head may be telling you to engage your new professional year at full speed and with everything you’ve got, the rest of you is unlikely to be at all convinced. Yet while you may be facing a perceived lack of motivation, what you’re really facing is planetary forces that while having the potential and all the tools to make this a very powerful year, are in no hurry. While Jupiter has been in direct motion in your work sector since Boxing Day, he’s still moving extremely slowly and won’t come up to full speed until early March. At the same time Mars, due to turn retrograde in your career sector next Tuesday, is slowing down to a crawl. As the two planets directing things on the professional front, they have lowered the speed limit considerably, for now anyway.

Capricorn

The Moon is not only making his first visit to your career sector for the year this week, but is already here as you move into the new week. Having returned to your career sector on Sunday, but due to leave on Tuesday this gives you an edge from the get go, allowing you to move into the new week with your professional instincts engaged, your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground. It’s the Moon’s alignment with Saturn that will give you an intuitive read on where you need to make a commitment and where a sense of resolve is coming from. But as the Moon’s last visit before Saturn turns retrograde in your career sector early next month this will also give you an intuitive sense of timing, with your instincts telling you where you need to push forward and where you need to pull back.

Aquarius

With no planetary activity in either of your professional houses the Moon’s monthly visits to both are extremely important. This was especially so for the Moon’s first visit to your work sector for the year, which resulted in last Monday’s Full Moon. Having given things on the work front the right nudge and the tools in order to get things on the right track, the Moon is doing the same on the career front this week, though in a less spectacular way. Without the clout and the strong emotions evoked by a Full Moon, the Moon’s return to your career sector from Tuesday to Thursday will simply sharpen your professional instincts and provide some timely clues. This will make it easy to under appreciate the importance of the messages being delivered and of paying attention.

Pisces

When Mercury left your career sector on the 8th January he not only left you with no planetary activity there, but in either of your professional houses. While you have the North Node in your career sector until August, keeping things on track, this makes the Moon’s monthly visits even more important, for this is what will keep you on track. After visiting your work sector last week the Moon visits your career sector this week, with his visit from Thursday to Saturday not only his first for the year but his first since Mercury left. As well as sharpening your professional instincts this will provide the clues and hunches that will help you to tie up loose ends and sweep up any residual Mercury energy, putting your professional year on the track you want it to continue on. – Freepsychicnetwork
