HOROSCOPES: A daring career move and a romantic proposal. The week ahead according to your star sign.

Natasha Weber is an astrology genius and has predicted our horoscopes for the week beginning January 15. For more from Natasha, follow her on Instagram and Facebook.

Delaying a daring career move? Mercury ditches its cosmic rewind on Thursday, green lighting professional progress. For some, that means leaving their current employment in favour of more fulfilling work. Stay-at-home mums or dads put a big plan or ambition into action by week’s end. But Mercury needs some time to pick up speed, so be patient. That said, every move your make after Thursday is a valuable step towards smashing your final objective.

POWER DAY Saturday.

Some Bulls receive a romantic proposal this weekend. Congrats! If you’re nervous about asking your soon-to-be ex-boss for a reference, don’t be. Mercury abandons its retrograde, allowing you to ask for a glowing recommendation. And thanks to the Sun illuminating the zenith of your chart, people are singing your praises, Taurus. After Thursday, use this radiant energy to ask for what you want.

POWER DAY Sunday.

Watch: Horoscopes in the bedroom. Story continues after video. 

Your planetary ruler finishes up its retrograde this week (cue sigh of relief!) Money has been on your mind, as Mercury has been messing around in your financial sector. But the good news is that from Thursday, you can loosen your purse strings - a little. Mercury’s economic influence is still warming up, so proceed with optimistic caution. A great idea about how to grow your money tree pops into your head. But hold off until week’s end.

POWER DAY Thursday.

Your relationship zone is buzzing with planetary activity. To start with, Mercury halts its backwards spin, supporting coupled-up Crabs to move forward with an ambitious project. Maybe you’ll renovate, successfully conquer a communication roadblock or are thinking about moving in together? Wait until after Thursday to call your builder, find your perfect pad or have that heart-to-heart chat. Single? A love bonanza is on the cards this weekend. 

POWER DAY Thursday.

Some Lionesses won’t be able to keep their hands off their date or partner - and the feeling is mutual. The cosmos superfies romance, so use this energy to boost an existing bond or dig deeper into a new relationship. If you’re single, you could cover a lot of ground with someone new, progressing further than you typically would. By this weekend, the Sun puts squabbling love birds on the same page.

POWER DAY Friday.

Virgos committed to singledom have a change of heart, thanks to Mercury. Your home planet encourages you to put yourself out there, loud and proud. It’s time to update your Tinder, Hinge or Bumble profile, darling. It doesn’t matter which online dating app you prefer, just make the first move and leave the rest to the cosmos. Couples recapture the romance after a casual date night. Wait until after Thursday, though. 

POWER DAY Thursday.

Mercury finds its groove after rewinding through your home zone. So, if family tension has disturbed your zen, reconciliation is on the cards. Perhaps you’ve ruffled a relative’s feathers, or they’ve made an insensitive remark. Wait until after Thursday to say sorry or expect an apology. Others are busy preparing to head back to work or school. Sort out your sleep routine before you do. 

POWER DAY Sunday.

An insecure friend dishes up a serving of cold truth, but in a way, that’s a tad rude. Tell her that while you respect her honesty, being insensitive to your opinion is not okay. She’s been bitten by the green-eyed monster, so her perspective is a bit warped. But if your wicked sarcasm doesn’t put her in her place, your death gaze will. Try to be understanding, though, Scorpio. There s no malice in her lack of judgment - just envy. 

POWER DAY Saturday.

Mercury’s forward flow is excellent news for budgeting and banking. And after Thursday, the cosmos gives financial changes or investment rejigging the go-ahead. Your earning capacity is also rising, so consider asking for an appropriate salary increase. But again, plan your pitch wisely and wait until Friday. This week sees you plugging a cash leak with a brilliant new scheme or idea.

POWER DAY Friday.

Mercury’s rewind through your sign roused a personal upgrade. Maybe you pledged to be a better bestie or your fittest and most fabulous self in 2023. Or perhaps you decided to no longer settle for less than you deserve, especially in your relationships. The good news is that you’ll make headway in any area you’re determined to improve. The not-so-good news is that you’ll have to wait until after Thursday to see any progress.

POWER DAY Thursday.

Happy solar return, Aquarius! On Friday, the Sun begins a fresh twelve-month cycle through your chart, marking your astrological new year. This is your golden opportunity to rewrite your narrative. In the two weeks before your birthday, create a vision board using images and quotes that inspire you to become the best version of yourself. And think carefully about the quality of people and experiences you wish to attract in this next phase of your life.

POWER DAY Friday.

Some Fish are drawn into solitude this week, which is perfectly fine. You don’t have to force a smile if you’re not feeling your usual sparkly self, Pisces. Politely decline invitations and settle into your sofa with takeout and a makeup-free face instead. After Thursday, Mercury ditches its backwards spin, easing tension with a coworker or close friend. Be open to a compromise. 

POWER DAY Saturday.
