Aquarius Weekly Horoscope

Your weekly horoscope, continued 

On Friday, January 9, Venus in Capricorn forms a potent opposition to Jupiter in Cancer, activating tensions between your inner world and the demands of work, service or health routines. You may feel torn between compassion and self-preservation, especially if you’ve been carrying other people’s needs on your shoulders. Jupiter can blur boundaries, making it tricky to tell whether you’re being generous or overextending. Before you rush to fix, help or accommodate, pause and check in with yourself. Are you acting from genuine care—or obligation? This transit isn’t about hardening your heart, but rather strengthening your sense of self-authorization. You don’t need to justify your limits or explain every choice. The real lesson may be learning that your value doesn’t depend on how useful, available or agreeable you are.
 
What’s been keeping you awake at night, Aquarius? Can you identify the issue, in the name of slaying the dragon? You’ll have cosmic support for that this Saturday, January 10, when the Sun and activating Mars in your subconscious zone face off with philosophical Jupiter in your house of service, systems and analytical thinking. Although jovial Jupiter is currently retrograde, it still packs quite a punch in aspect to other planets, and in this dust-up with motivated Mars, it can guide you to wisdom and “right action.” If the fraught situation is temporary, it shouldn’t be too involved. But if you recognize some familiar old demons, you might benefit from working with a therapist or regressionist to get to the root of the issue—and clear it for once and for all!
