CRANKY COSMOS | Weekly Horoscope | January 13th- January 19th 2025

This post was originally published on Astrology Hub

There’s a lot of disaffection going on in the heavens this week with retrograde Mars in Cancer forming an opposition to the Sun in Capricorn on January 15th and Venus passing under the rays of Saturn in Pisces on January 18th. It’s clearly not the time to make a pitch, ask someone what they really think of you, or poke the bear because you won’t like the reception you get. However, not all the planets are in an ornery mood. A Sun/Uranus trine on Monday, followed by a sextile to Neptune on Friday, shows the benefits of switching focus to those concerns that lie outside your day-to-day life—things like farfetched ideas, impossible dreams, and hopeless causes. This would be an excellent time to take them down off the shelf, blow away the cobwebs, and give them a closer look. You may discover that they still have something to say. This could result in taking up an old passion, or it might lead to something more transcendent given the positive bent of Uranus and Neptune. A lot of good has come from not getting what we want when we wanted it. Frustration can darken our mood, but it can also lift our sights too.
