Aries & Aries Rising
Opening up with a revealing conversation about your professional pursuits and ending with an explicit exploration of your boundaries with friends, groups, and the organizations you are a part of, this week calls on your best communication skills to come forth.
Right now you are extra sensitive to the professional power dynamics that you would typically push aside, but this isn’t a bad thing. The subterranean themes that are up for examination demand a reassessment of how you think about the problems that you face, and possible solutions that you are in need of.
When an issue arises that pushes your buttons, give it more attention, reflection, and consideration than you normally would. Even when the excavation process feels a little gruesome, the transformation that it brings will be gorgeous.
With Mars finally leaving Aries, for the first time in over 6 months, this week also brings the closing of a chapter in your life. Whatever it is that you are beginning now feels like a fresh start. In Taurus, Mars teaches you much about your resources, finances, and assets. A bit of a bumpy ride, the next 2 months will make clear the changes that need to take place regarding spending, saving, and rearranging your budget.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
The beginning of the week offers you a couple of existential questions to ponder. The choices that you make about the next leg of your journey feel weighty, the spiritual practices that you are engaging in are especially transformative, and the subjects you’ve been studying take you on deep dives of self-inquiry.
You are primed to have your worldview shift just enough to open up a whole kaleidoscope of new ways of witnessing the world. This new perspective comes because of the reflection you are willing to do, a challenging conversation that comes about, or a truth you are willing to witness. It’s not necessarily a pretty process, but it’s a revealing and enriching one.
With Mars in Taurus from January 6th – March 3rd, your new year gets off to a heated start. Feeling the need to move, though at a slow and steady pace, you may notice that much of the work that you’ve been doing for the past 6 months, work done behind the scenes or deep within, is now ready to be put to use in a more active and extroverted way. It’s a challenge that you are ready to take on, and one that comes with a hefty obstacle to contend with and a livewire to learn how to make use of.
The professional hoops you have to consider jumping through, abstaining from altogether, or disrupting completely will be the most intense growth edge you face come the first few months of the year, and it begins now.
Be strategic, aware of the roadblocks along the paths you’ve chosen and willing to apply your stubbornness to a greater cause. Save your energy for the battles you know are worth winning, or at least worth engaging in. Refuse to be rushed or stressed when you know something isn’t worth the cortisol.

Gemini & Gemini Rising
This week, make sure not to shy away from the conversations that demand your honesty and integrity when it comes to shared resources, finances, and responsibilities. There are some details that need exposing, truths that need surfacing, and rare glimpses of what goes on under the surface of your interactions that you need to witness. It’s most likely information that you already know, but might not take as seriously as is necessary—and there is a consequential tone to the opening of January.
As the week gets underway important decisions regarding your routes forward also come to the fore. There are limits to acknowledge, facts to face, and numbers crunch. Whatever red flags fly, whatever stop signs you see in the distance, take note. These signs are here to help, even if they at first hinder your ideas about where to go next and how to get there.
As Mars settles into Taurus and your 12th house, you get much more comfortable retreating into the incubators of your life to understand what healing needs to happen and what breakthroughs abound when you give more of your energy to the parts of your life that usually goes unchecked, unattended to, or left unconscious.

Cancer & Cancer Rising
This week, Mercury takes you on a trip that helps you understand your boundaries and how you’ve learned to break them. Know that it’s ok if you have to cycle through the same issues over and over again; it’s really the only way that healing them ever happens.
The trick is to go deeper with each rotation.
Knowing how and when you tend to betray yourself and how ingrained denouncing your own needs is, can and will liberate you from the ruts of your own self-denial. Feeling the impact of all the ways in which consent is given and broken is perhaps one of the deepest spiritual practices you can partake in right now.
Instead of ruminating on any missteps you’ve recently made, focus instead on dissecting the patterns so you can get to the root cause of the issue. Allow what surfaces to be your turning point to greater self-awareness and an invitation to greater self-care.
As Mars moves into your 11th house of friends, staying there for the next 2 months, the issues that have recently surfaced with others aren’t necessarily going anywhere. A helpful way to use this time period is to brush up on any teachings about group dynamics that you find helpful. Even though we are all far apart right now, none of us are free from the miscommunications and misunderstandings that always accompany community.
In fact, greater distance makes for greater projections. You’ll most likely be called upon to address and confront one or two in the coming weeks so stock up on your group processing skills and self-reflection techniques. The more you can own your side of things, the clearer everyone else’s is

Leo & Leo Rising
The challenges your work life, routines, and committed partnerships pose this week aren’t the cutest moments on the calendar, but they do want to bring you deep into their lair of lessons for a reason.
This is no lighthearted journey, but it is a rewarding one.
At the intersection of what you have to get done and who you have to get it done with (or for), lies an important conversation, investigation, or unveiling. The unearthing that this week brings helps you to understand a power dynamic that is at play in your most important relationships. Unpacking them promises to be a transformative process that reminds you of your agency and impact; your seemingly insignificant choices make great grooves into your life when done routinely.
Every little bit of awareness about your habitual ways of relaying information can add up to a remarkable beginning of the year makeover.
With Mars entering Taurus, you are moving into one of the more defining professional moments of your 2021. Ensuring that you spend the next 2 months deepening your relationship to the kind of leader you want to be, Mars makes you more aware of the actions that you’re proud of, and the actions that further separate you from your goals. Use this time to realign.

Virgo & Virgo Rising
This week helps you unearth a truth about your drive, desires, and creative potency. Currently, pursuits of pleasure aren’t really that fun unless they are helping you access, transform, and transmute stagnant emotional energy into a fuel that you can use. The process demands that you confront some sentiments that you might not be proud of, but within the pockets of regret, shame, or fixation that you stumble upon are also reserves of great wealth and emotional riches.
Whether it’s a creative project, love affair, or longing that initiates this process, by the end of the week you’ve got a much clearer understanding of how to channel your potency.
With Mars moving into your 9th house of learning, you’re about to embark on a 2 month investigation of how you handle the hot topics in your life. With a defining conversation that comes up regarding a work project at the end of the week, your communication skills are put to the test. Class is still very much in session though, and whatever comes up now in regards to clashing worldviews, perspectives, or personal life goals and professional responsibilities is bound to be repeated over the next few weeks. Take notes, you’ll need them later.

Libra & Libra Rising
What gets unearthed this week is as core of an issue as it gets for you. It’s not that what you come across is news to you, quite the contrary. What’s up for review is as old as your family secrets, as old as the foundations you come from—but the ways in which you are able to approach the topic isn’t.
You are learning to investigate your origin stories with a depth that only time can help you access. This is far from the first or last time you’ll touch down on this wound, cornerstone, or root, but each repetition brings with it a little more clarity and a lot more honesty. This week, give those insights room to breathe.
As Mars finally leaves Aries, it takes some of the heat off of your committed partnerships. It does, however, place the emphasis on your collaborations, exchanges, and shared responsibilities. The definitions that your creative life is undergoing become part of this process and as the weekend unfolds what becomes clear is a limitation, boundary, or set of rules that needs to be clarified. In order for a good time to be had, right now you also need to respond to the responsibilities that you’ve said yes to.
If you’ve agreed to it, getting it done has to be a priority, but if you haven’t, display your receipts accordingly.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
With Mars moving into Taurus, personal autonomy is high on your list of priorities. If your partnerships are in need of an update, the next 2 months will bring them. If you’ve been feeling you need to change things up, the next 2 months will be loud about how, where, when, why, and with whom you need to. If you are lucky, you’ll be able to understand the intersections of your past and your present relationship dynamics.
This week acts like a four-leaf clover in that recovery process.
On Monday, Mercury sets you out on an excavation that seems to last all week, priming you to discover something pivotal about your communication patterns. All roads lead you back to what happened long-ago, the meaning you made of it, and the ways in which you still tend to.
Thanks to the combination of Mercury and Mars, the issues become more obvious, as if a private conversation is accidentally played out over a loudspeaker. This most likely ends up as an inner dialogue that gets amplified to the volume that finally gets your attention—the point is, it’s time to listen when conflict arises and respect the information you are receiving. Especially when that information is inconvenient for your ego, or anyone else’s.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
The truths that get unearthed this week have something to do with your financial life, livelihood, resources and ways in which you’re learning to work with them. It’s about more than numbers at this point, but the equations, budgets, and balances you are studying help you understand the energetic net worth of what it is you are working with.
Whatever you have invested into yourself proves to be transformative in more ways than one. So much deeper than your pockets could ever be, these days are filled with the cathartic lessons that only come when you can be honest about what it is you want to do with what you have.
Having spent a solid 6 months on a creative pursuit or project, Mars changing signs makes it possible for you to graduate from the grunt work of getting all the moving parts to play in the ways you want them to. Now, more energy can be directed towards the revisions of work schedules and routines, especially those that promote your well-being.
With the next two months being devoted to this area of life, you are bound to come up against a couple of issues that require you to parse out what helps you feel a sense of accomplishment a little at a time and what keeps you successful on one level, but stagnant on all others. You’re bound to confront a couple of your own beliefs this week that help you pinpoint the difference. More will follow as the next couple months unfold.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
Only deep conversations will do. Only excavations of epic proportions will suffice. Only the truth is left after all the processing has passed. This week brings intellectual debates and the most necessary investigations to your attention.
If you are researching something, this is the week that will most likely unearth the secret treasures you seek. If you are diving head first into the power dynamics that plague you, this week will expose their ins and outs. Whatever you have the stamina to explore, you’ll have the ability to get to.
Just be careful not to poke at what’s better left alone; some issues need more rest than revealing and more time than intensity. Only with maturity can we tell the difference and this week lets you know what to go for and what to let be. Trust it.
As Mars finally leaves Aries, you get to finish up the deep work that you have been doing around family, home, and lineage. A fresh start is made with a creative project, pursuit, or passion. Because issues about which of your projects might be financially supportive also arise, or money issues in general make themselves known, do what you need to gain clarity about your material baselines, budgets and desires; that way you can negotiate backwards and still have room to breathe.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
Mars is on the move. Headed towards your 4th house of home, family, and origin stories, you are more likely than usual to be found investigating your past for buried treasures and heirlooms of insight.
This emphasis comes as a stark contrast to the ways in which you are coming into yourself, for yourself. In fact, there is a distinct difference that you’re taking note of right now, one that helps you to see just how far you’ve come and what it took to get you here.
Time is its own agent of change when we work with it. The wisdom of having lived through both the wreckage and the wonders of your life thus far can never be taken from you and this moment’s forward motion marks both a departure and a return.
May it be healing.
As you investigate the kind of work that needs to be done in your inner sanctuaries and abodes, the people who help support the internal and external structures of your life stand out. Track the communication issues that come up between you. This week might be especially revealing and the conversations you have with those closest to you exceptionally telling about certain trust issues and deeply embedded beliefs. As the weeks unfold, you are likely to circle back around to them. Each time you do, you get a better understanding of what is yours, what is theirs, and what you share.

Pisces & Pisces Rising
Just before Mercury dips into your 12th house of all things hidden, it makes way for some very intense conversations between you and your besties. Whether this happens online and in public, or in a more intimate communal group chat, the information you give and receive this week goes deep.
This is no time for texting with those that can’t process.
What you excavate comes with a trigger warning however; if you don’t actually want to know the answer, don’t ask. Others are more than usually in need of your empathetic shoulder and if you don’t have the energy to offer it, remember that someone else will. It isn’t your job to heal anyone, it’s only your job to be clear about what you can and can’t offer everyone at any given moment.
As Mars changes sign for the first time in half a year, you are able to witness just how far you’ve come given certain financial issues that you’ve been working through and with. Now, as Mars moves into your 3rd house of everyday rituals, your daily life gets an upgrade.
What keeps you focused should be top priority, what keeps you frayed and frantic needs to be low on your list or banned from your calendars for the next couple of months. A little detox of your days is a great way to begin the new year.
