Due to last week’s intense Cancer full moon, chaos reigned. Three fortunate zodiac signs will enjoy the best week. January 9 to 15, proving that good things *can* happen.

Don’t worry if you’ve been dealing with delays, writer’s block and/or petty misunderstandings, because you are most definitely not alone.
The week begins on a light-hearted note, as Venus will dance with Mars—her divine counterpart—while moving through through cutting-edge Aquarius. When transiting this fixed air sign, Venus—the planet of love, beauty, money and relationships—prioritizes freedom, independence social collaboration and electric foresight. Aquarius is visionary and this Venusian transit is likely to be more romantic than platonic. There is still the possibility for experimentation and goal setting as well as camaraderie. Mars is still retrograde in curious Gemini but the trine of Venus with Venus makes it more likely to have an unplanned and unexpected encounter with the past. You might be able to reunite with old friends or find ex-coworkers with work opportunities. This can prove to be very fruitful, as long as you are discerning.
The Moon will be in Virgo meticulously on January 10. Then, meet freedom-loving Uranus and have an informative trine.

First, thing’s first, Gemini: if this Mars retrograde transit felt like an eternity, you’re in luck this week! Although Mercury is still your celestial ruler and continues to spin through the eighth house for joint ventures and mergers, this planet of energy will end its retrograde tour through your sign. January 12. That in itself gives you so much to look forward to this week, but it doesn’t end there.
Despite having the messenger planet reviewing and reassessing things, you have the upperhand in the sense that you’re gaining clarity, and reading between the lines. Mercury retrograde is a slowing down of Mercury, which can be helpful for personal or contractual matters. Also, while sashaying through Aquarius—your adventurous ninth house of expansion—Venus will dance with Mars in your sign this week, and present you with glimmering hope for the future.
