What is Happening in the Stars for the Week of January 12-18, 2020?
A note for all of you who are kind enough to read my blog.
It takes nearly a full work day to do a weekly reading. I'm moving full readings over to Jeanne Alkire, Astrologer on the subscription site Patreon. For as little as $5 a month you can still access full weekly commentary. I am positing a little of this week's writing, so you can consider if it's worth it to you to join my fans. All the best.

Hang on to your hats kids! This week begins with a bang! The chart below is the exact conjunction of Saturn and Pluto, which happens at high noon over Washington, DC. Restructuring is afoot: whether we like it or not. It's time to lay a firm foundation as what no longer serves us is falling away like a karmic rug being pulled out from under us individually and collectively. This is a power combination, the like of which has not been seen since the Rennaissance. The week starts with the powerful point of connection, but the themes will be active throughout most of 2020. 
We are being challenged to envision and create a new future: one more simple, more aligned with common values, and taking a rather revolutionary approach to the care of the natural world. What do we love? What gives us joy? What are our deepest dreams and visions? How can we be of service and find healing? Think on this, and you will be in harmony with the times.
Aries
As the week begins, you'll enjoy a certain amount of emotional and social harmony. Sunday and Monday are an ideal time for a romantic date.  A combination of internal frustration and lurking potential transformation in the face of offers and challenges to "get real" require you to muster more than your usual patience. This will be a year long challenge. 
Taurus
There can be issues Sunday and Monday over not feeling appreciated at home. This settles down midweek, Tuesday and Wednesday bring a helpful energy around children, romance, and creative projects. As an earth sign, you have the potential to be incredibly effective in these transformative times. 

Gemini
It's likely you will experience some pressure in the area of shared resources and finding ways to adopt the more practical approaches others may be forcing on you. In some ways, you can enjoy a ring side seat from the sidelines of the battle for transformation that is happening on your doorstep. Patience. 
Cancer
Your sensitive side is likely to feel harsh reality is pushing against you from all directions. The times demand courage, and a clear head. A certain amount of sardonic humor would not be out of line. Don't despair! When everything seems to be dog-piling against you, it's important to remember you are up to the challenges you face. 
Leo
You are likely to be feeling especially emotional as the week begins. With so much transformative energy in the mix, people can be unpredictable. Those born in July are likely to challenge others or be challenged by events that break up your usual routines. This is not negative, but can be disturbing, especially on Friday, so as much as possible remain calm and pick your battles.
Virgo
As an earth sign, Virgo is in a unique, and quite arguably the most positive position to ride the crest of the first wave of Capricorn energy that is now breaking across the planet. It fits well with your natural desire to be of service and improve existing conditions.
Libra
You stand at a crossroads, where your default desires to make nice or include all options may not be the most effective strategy. While it's possible to feel quite discouraged, what you, or circumstances, cut back at this time will ultimately be for the best. This week, your challenge is to make a realistic analysis of what is working and what is better left behind. 
Scorpio
This week, you are in a unique position to finally make some practical and lasting adjustments in situations close to home that have not been to your liking. The more you communicate your needs and intentions, the better progress you will make. 
Sagittarius
Venus is in your sign right now, most particularly impacting those born November 28-December 2. Enjoy! This is an ideal week for a romantic date. Give yourself permission to be more vulnerable, rather than telling your sweetheart what is what. For all, it's an ideal time for getting out socially and sharing anything you consider fun. 
Capricorn
This is a lucky week for those born near the last days of December and first days of January. People will think highly of you and opportunities abound for you to make progress in any area of interest or concern. For all of you born this week, not only is the world and it's governing structures changing, you too are experiencing a powerful period where things are being restructured, ready or not. It's important not to see any limitations or power struggles you encounter as negative. 
Aquarius
Just so you know, the energies this year are going to become more and more positive when Jupiter enters your sign at the end of March. For now, if things continue to be a challenge, just remember there are brighter days just ahead. While you may not be particularly inclined to focus on practical things, right now you can make some serious and lasting changes in the way your life and relationships are structured. 
Pisces
This may be a time when you are imagining ambitious new directions for your life. You can create networks of people and identify practical ideas that support your long term success. Friends who share your interests will be especially helpful in pointing you in new directions. You can be an effective manager or team leader.
