Classtrology Weekly Horoscopes 12/31-1/7
Your horoscope for the 1st week of the new year, written by me. Read for your rising! Times are in EST
…with the need for a fresh start, but the reflective full moon on the night of the 1st we realize we haven’t yet left all our baggage in 2017. The moon returns home to Cancer at 3:11 AM January 1st. Later that evening at 9:24 PM, the full moon in Cancer opposes the sun in Capricorn. The Cancer-Capricorn axis focuses on the balance between the home and nurturance in Cancer and reputation and accountability in Capricorn. We feel a push and pull between our home lives and our careers, and favoring either side will not end up well for us. Expect what you’ve been neglecting to show itself under the spotlight of the new moon. On January 2nd, rebellious Uranus goes direct in Aries. If you have any planets are 24*-28* of a cardinal sign (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), you will feel this shift in energy most strongly. Uranus is bringing change to a theater near you… or at least whatever house you have Aries in. At 12:39 PM on January 3rd, a favorable aspect between Venus, the planet of love, and Neptune gives us a spark of creativity and romance. On the 6th, energetic Mars joins up with expansive Jupiter giving us a boost of confidence and initiative. Jupiter wants us to take chances, but Jupiter also likes to overindulge. You have to know when you’re starting to push your luck. If your New Year’s resolution was to get active, this is a great time to do so. What a week to start off the new year! Take advantage of this energy and set your intentions for a great year. Make 2018 your year!
ARIES: For someone who never stops moving, this New Year’s Day is the perfect time to unwind and relax. The full moon in homebody Cancer shines a light on your 4th house, the house that represents the home. Organization and beautifying the home aren’t typical Aries things, but use this New Year energy to make your home something you enjoy coming home to. And organization can make your days more efficient and less time consuming. Mending relationships at home may also be on your list of things to do in the New Year. Uranus, the planet of change, has been shaking up your life since 2011, and it is now in its final months in Aries. This retrograde period turned that energy inwards, and you’ve perhaps been mulling over some changes you need to make. When Uranus goes direct on the 2nd, it’s time to put these changes into action. Reassess your goals and make sure you’re on the right path. The sextile between Venus and Neptune activates your 10th and 12th houses. You’re keeping people at an observable distance, and your intuition is heightened. You’re bored of chasing immaturity and may find your focuses shifting to more stable partners. This transit brings opportunity to find a mentor in your chosen field as well. The conjunction of Jupiter and Mars, your ruler, happens in your 8th house. Out with the old, in with the new. This transit could bring death to an old idea or way of doing things, bringing a whole new meaning to new year, new me. Emotions run high, as the past is dragged up by this transit. Recognize your fears, anger, or jealousy and use that as a tool to get what you really want.
New year Aries mantra: “new year, new space”
TAURUS: On any given night, you don’t mind staying home. You may even prefer it! But this New Year celebration is calling you to get out there. Your 3rd house of community is under the spotlight of the full moon. Bring all your favorite people together and ring in the year with a bang. Maybe you’re in a town away from friends and family this holiday season. Go out there and explore the area you’re in. Maybe you’ll realize that where you are isn’t where you truly want to be, in which case, use these next few months to find where that happiness is. Uranus has been spending its time in your 12th house. Forgiveness is going to allow you to release negative people in your life, keeping them in 2017. You may feel a deep desire to figure out what your life purpose is. Owning your spirituality may help you on the path to enlightenment. The Venus sextile Neptune transit may see some people leave your social circle as well. With Venus in the 9th, you’re interested in people who are very different from you. You crave new experiences and want to become a freer spirit. Neptune in the 11th says we’re giving too much of ourselves in our friendships, so taking the time to remove the leeches from your life is going to put you in a better place in 2018. The Mars-Jupiter conjunction takes place in your 7th house of relationships. This is a moment that can make or break current relationships. Things will be taken to the next level or something will prompt the straw that broke the camel’s back and the relationship will be left in 2017. If you’re single, don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and make the first move. This Mars-Jupiter conjunction makes us more daring, but Jupiter can give us too much of a good thing, making us look desperate. Both in business and in love, it’s time to make the move you’ve been putting off out of fear.
New year Taurus mantra: “new year, new squad”
GEMINI: Get ready to reap the rewards of your hard work these past few months! The full moon in Cancer electrifies your 2nd house of money and possessions. You could be presented with new money making opportunities or you could be receiving the raise or promotion at work that you’ve been waiting for. But don’t stop now! Carry that momentum with you into the new year. What new ventures or projects could you become involved in that would bring you more rewards? Go out there and network; the increased confidence of getting recognized for a job well done will have you putting your best foot forward. Make this the year you finally get your finances in order, as the 2nd house also rules over how we spend our money. Uranus has been transiting your 11th house. During its retrograde period you may have felt victim to others’ missteps and indecisiveness. When Uranus goes back direct, expect an interruption in your social circles and business relationships. Collaborative efforts will prove useful again and your circles can leave all the drama in 2017. The sextile between Venus and Neptune heightens your sexual desire. You’re looking for deeper connections, or at the very least more interesting people. If you are in a relationship, you may notice a deeper connection with your partner. The Mars-Jupiter conjunction happens in your 6th house of daily routine and health. Any health-centered New Year’s resolutions will be able to be put into action under the energizing conjunction. It’s a good time to form those habits under this energy so that you can carry it with you the rest of the year. This can also be a time for organizing your life, to get rid of all the physical clutter from 2017.
New year Gemini mantra: “new year, new goals”
CANCER: This is your time to shine, Cancer! The full moon takes place in your sign, and you’re getting the attention you deserve. Typically more shy, you are finding yourself thrown onto center stage and you know just what to do to get the crowd excited. Put your best foot forward, because all eyes are on you with the new moon illuminating your 1st house. Start the New Year by making sure your appearance, physical or otherwise, is top notch. Get that hair cut you’ve been putting off and refresh your social media profiles. The Uranus retrograde has been looming over your 10th house of career. It’s been an uphill battle, but things are finally starting to level off. Don’t back down now, Uranus stationing direct gives you that final push you need to conquer the hill. And if when you get to the top, things aren’t as magical as you imagined, it’s time for a different path. Disruptive Uranus could bring a sudden change to your career, but whether that change is positive or negative in the short run, it will be worth it in the long run. Take time to think about whether or not you’re on the path you want to be on.
New year Cancer mantra: “new year, new me”
LEO: You have a somber start to the new year, as the full moon in Cancer ignites your 12th house. There is something you’ve been dwelling on that you need to let go of and the first step of that is forgiveness. Maybe you even need to forgive yourself. You’re bringing a whole new meaning to New Year’s resolutions. Your resolution is to resolve the past and to move forward. You’ll be able to find closure so that you can enter the new year with a clean slate. Forgiveness does not require we forget. Take the opportunity to cleanse your life of all the negativity keeping you in 2017. It’s all up from here! Your personal growth has been put on the back burner while Uranus went retrograde in your 9th house of adventure and beliefs. Plan that vacation and take a much needed break! Or take time to yourself to discover new interests or spiritual pursuits. Disruptive Uranus is going to bring some change to your life. Everything you thought you knew about the world will be put to the test. This is also a good time to learn something new. The sextile of Venus and Neptune can help you connect with your spiritual side. Be careful of people in your life who are here just to take from you. You’ve been burned in the past, so with the transiting Venus in your 6th house you are pickier about who you let in. There could be a boost in creative energy in your day to day routine. What habits are working for you and which ones aren’t? Time to use you time to the fullest and ditch things (and people) who aren’t working for you in 2017. The Neptune-Mars conjunction illuminates your 4th house of home, giving you more of a boost you need to change up your living situation. There could be changes in who you live with, or you may need to make some space for a workout area or new furry friend. Something at the home is going to change to suit you better. Take some time to yourself this week to reflect on where you’ve been and where you plan on going.
New year Leo mantra: “new year, new dreams”
VIRGO: It’s time to come out from that winter hibernation, Virgo. The full moon in cancer illuminates your 11th house of the social realm, giving it a boost under this new moon. So go to that party you’ve been contemplating; you never know who you’ll meet! Not only is the 11th house the house of friendship, but it also rules over out professional relationships as well. The opportunity for advancing your career may come up in the next few months, so get out there and sell yourself. Update your resume or LinkedIn profile. Uranus shifting to direct motion causes you to be more honest. Are you in the relationship for you? If you’re single, are you finding the right people? Uranus shakes things up and brings change. The Venus sextile Neptune aspect on the 3rd is a favorable day for romance for you. The transiting Venus lies in your 5th sextiling the transiting Neptune in the 7th.

Don’t rush into anything at the last minute. Uranus has been transiting your 7th house of relationships, so expect Uranus to shake things up here when it goes direct. If you’re single, take this as an opportunity to change your approach when it comes to dating. Are you allowing yourself to meet the people you deserve?

It might be time for taking the next step, or you may just be more inspired to keep things fun in the relationship. Uranus also has the potential to break up any relationships that aren’t working for you. Venus sextile Neptune calls for a reorganizing or rearranging of your home.

Speaking of changes in the home, the Jupiter-Mars conjunction lies in your 2nd house of finances and personal possessions. It’s time to set some budgeting goals for 2018.

SCORPIO: If you get the chance to celebrate the new year on vacation, you’re off to a great start! The full moon is shining a light on your 9th house, making this a year of new places, new people and expanded horizons. Start planning, and saving, for that trip you’ve been wanting to take. Try new things! Embrace the differences in people and places. Even if you can’t travel across country or abroad, there are adventures right outside your hometown. Uranus has been transiting your 6th house of everyday life and health. You may have slipped into some bad habits during its retrograde, but Uranus going direct is the push you need to get back on track.

You could be getting some answers to any health problems you’ve been having recently. The Venus-Neptune sextile brings a burst of creativity and communication, but not everyone has good intentions.

The full moon can bring passionate hook ups, that may turn into something more with the moon in Cancer, a sign that enjoys comfortable partnerships. Be honest about your intentions with any new fling. Don’t be out here breaking hearts. Speaking of comfortable relationships, for those of you in relationships use this energy to reawaken the bedroom. Try something new (be sure to talk about it with your partner first). With Uranus going direct in your 5th house, expect a change in your romantic life. Your relationship may have been stuck in a rut these past few months, but be ready to embrace a much needed change of pace. This could make or break your relationships.

Whether positive or negative, the change that Uranus going direct brings is going to start a new chapter in your life. For single Sagittarians, you may find yourself gravitating towards people you were never drawn to before. You want to switch it up. The holidays may have been rough in your family life. You want to feel more secure and stable, and to do that you need to begin with yourself. With the transiting Neptune in your 4th house, family problems may have come up during the holidays. That Venus in the 2nd wants you to surround yourself with stable people. Embracing stability will bring money into your life, and perhaps you can share in the wealth once you’re in a better place.

AQUARIUS: It’s time to get to work! The full moon in Cancer illuminates your 6th house of health and daily routine.
