Weekly horoscopes for the week of January 11 by the cup

On Tuesday night, a new moon will take place in a wise and cautious Capricorn, opening a door and providing the opportunity to set new intentions with consideration and care. Late Wednesday night, Uranus retrograde ends and the planet of progress, revolution and surprise begins to move forward again. On Sunday evening, the lucky planet Jupiter places Uranus, marking an unpredictable moment of opportunity. Right now there is so much possible – a new world is trying its best to see the light of day – but the road is always fraught with pitfalls and surprises, and you will need to act patiently, with care, with all wisdom. you have.

When it comes to listening to others, taking into account their desires and opinions, it can be difficult to find the right balance. Listening to others is a valuable skill that can bring great rewards, but it is not possible, or even desirable, to listen. everyone. There are so many people out there who have nothing to offer you, so many people spreading bad information, bad analysis, bad feelings. This week, being open to the world doesn’t mean you have to heed all the advice given to you. Be as insightful as possible with your attention.

Even though you have grown stronger over the past few months and years, it doesn’t necessarily feel like that. If anything, you may be more aware of your fatigue, of how lean and depleted your emotional reserves have become. But all the while you’ve been building new emotional muscles, practicing new types of movements. And now this week, roughly and imperfectly, you will begin to feel some of the power that you have slowly been building. This week, in spurts, you will be able to remind yourself that you are strong, worthy and justified to make demands on the world.

This week, you will benefit from a deep and clear reflection on your loyalty and your commitments, on the values ​​that matter most to you. It is very possible that these things have changed; if so, it is important that you can express – even to yourself – what matters to you now. This week, that clarity will be crucial. When you are clear about your deepest values, you can respond to any situation with integrity. When you know what matters most, you can find your way through any uncharted terrain.

It’s a week to seriously think about your desire and treat it for the awesome power that it really is. It’s far too easy to think of it as some sort of soft, vaporous mist, something melancholy, dreamy, light as air. But that’s not the only way desire can feel. Sometimes desire can propel you forward, can fill you with strength, can put surprising steel in your voice. You are not stuck forever longing for the world you want. Instead, you can go out and find it, go out and build it.

It can be so difficult right now to keep any perspective. It’s not your fault: everything around you is changing and reversing. What appeared to be major may turn out to be unimportant; what seemed unimportant can turn out to be life changing. It’s hard to know what matters and what can be ignored, and even harder to know what your own role should be. This week, don’t be convinced that your own life is trivial, or that your own skills and gifts are irrelevant. You need yourself more than ever; over time the world will show you how.

Reality does not progress on a gentle upward trajectory. You know it perfectly well, but it’s always so hard not to wish that everything moved on a linear path. It’s always unfair that your hard work and kind heart don’t lead directly to the rewards you deserve. But that doesn’t mean your efforts were wasted. All the while, you have created the foundation you need. During all this time, you have built networks of care. You might be surprised this week at how all of your love is coming back to you.

The weight of other people’s analyzes can be so heavy on your shoulders. There are so many opinions and so many angles, but no one knows nothing for sure – no one can see the future, and no one has figured out how to fix everything that’s wrong. This week, be careful not to interfere too much with other people’s ideas. It just keeps you from seeing all the possibilities that are available to you, all the opportunities to live in the best possible way.

It’s a week to avoid games and intrigue, a week to avoid all kinds of little maneuvers for power. There is simply too much unpredictability in the air, too much potential for wild and unexpected results. No matter how hard you try to plan everything, the world can always surprise you; this is especially true at this time. While it can make you painfully vulnerable to being overly open about your intentions this week, it’s best to simply plan, take each day as it comes.

It can be difficult to find the right balance between confidence and wisdom – letting your confidence fuel you without getting carried away, and letting your wisdom anchor you without weighing you down until you can move. This week, it will be especially important to pay attention to this balance. Right now, things are going to be top to bottom, messy, unclear. Right now, it’s so possible that even you haven’t dreamed of it yet. Confidence alone won’t get you through this, and neither will all the practical wisdom in the world – you’re going to need both.

Sometimes when the going is particularly tough or when you are feeling particularly tired, it can seem like a good idea to let go of your unrealized ambitions. It might seem like a good strategy, to somehow trick your brain into being happy with the things you already have. But this week, there’s no reason to pretend you don’t want what you’re really doing. This week, there is no reason not to long term sweet dreams. You don’t have to do all the work just now – you don’t even have to plan – don’t stop dreaming.

Resolve and clarity come naturally to you – you know who you are and you know what you value deep inside. The difficulty comes in carrying that clarity with you through a messy world. The difficulty comes from keeping this clarity without squeezing it too tightly. This week the world will surprise you. It will force you to bend over, adapt, and change your mind. Your job is to keep on living, to believe that your values ​​and integrity are strong enough to withstand a changing world, you – because they are.

Lately, the emotional ups and downs of everyday life have felt so intense, so exaggerated, that it’s hard to see past them. Lately each day has been so filled with drama and surprises that it has been difficult to have the energy for anything else. It’s not your fault; there are times when the simple act of survival is enough. But as much as you can, try to remember the long term as well. Try to remind yourself that this is not the end – that you still have a future, and you can go there with intention and courage.
