Madame Miranda’s posts are written by M. Davis-McAfee and are based on the motivations behind each zodiac sign, as described on astrology.com, and the position of the celestial bodies mapped by theplanetstoday.com. While we appreciate the self-reflection that astrology can inspire, our horoscopes are for entertainment purposes only.
This week, the introspective nature of the new moon is enhanced by its passage through four astrological houses that directly affect our sense of security and self, relationships with family, connection to home, and our pursuit of pleasure. . This powerful lunar energy calls us to sit with our most vulnerable emotions to fully process them: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Our reflective efforts will come to a head at the end of the week when the dark Moon unites with the Sun, the ruler of our ego. This week is for internal transformations, redirections and prioritization.
How will your sign do in the second week of the new year?
As tempting as it may be to go into the second full week of the new year with guns blazing, the stars suggest you take a softer approach. Don’t underestimate the power of taking breaks between periods of productivity. Despite what it may seem like to your usually assertive and energetic self, you can accomplish the same thing if you know when to No Act.
This will be especially relevant midweek, when your ruling planet, Mars, conjoins a new moon in the Fourth House of Home and Family. Take a moment to sit with your emotions, rather than acting on them. The decisions we make in haste are often the most careless. You’ll know when you’re really ready to move forward.
There is a big difference between acknowledging past hurts so you can learn from your mistakes and holding on to grudges, regrets, and other negative feelings out of fear. These emotions can seem like armor from a limited, ego-driven perspective. But in reality, they are more like anchors that keep you on this frustrating plateau of your personal growth.
You must believe in yourself enough to know that you can make the right decisions without keeping your past at the forefront of your mind. No matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to change what has already happened. Fortunately, you have the opportunity to influence what comes next. The stars urge you to focus on what’s coming, Taurus. Leave the past where it belongs.
Be careful not to focus so much on your external environment that you neglect your internal environment, Gemini. His desire to keep others happy is admirable, but it proves unproductive when you repeatedly make these efforts to the detriment of his well-being. Over time, this will cause exhaustion to where you cannot offer others. either yourself the support that a situation requires.
Therefore, it is essential that you protect your resources carefully. It is easy to respect the finite nature of financial and physical resources. It’s much easier to forget that our emotional and mental resources are just as limited (sometimes even more so). Don’t be afraid to reject the expectations of those who don’t have your best interests in mind.
Sitting in the middle of interpersonal conflicts is certainly uncomfortable. But you can’t always make a problem go away (or someone else’s mind come up with a solution) when it’s convenient for you. Unfortunately, you will have to see this difficult lesson of the universe through to its completion. Now is the time to practice patience, grace, and empathy.
Consider a time when you were on the other side of a disagreement. Would the other party’s insistence convince him to make a decision more quickly, or would he dig in his heels and take even longer to make a decision? As disturbing as it may seem, those around you deserve the same space you would expect if you were the one with hurt feelings.
Is your dignity worth being loved for? Your ego, ruled by the Sun, has been inching toward a tense confrontation with Eris, a dwarf planet that rules our rebellious sides. As this planet returns to its direct motion, the stars offer clarity on how we have been deceiving ourselves of our true passions, goals, and identity in order to earn the approval of others.
The stars urge you to remember that the most important approval you can obtain is your own. Later in the week there will be an opportunity to reflect on the ways in which your inner self and outer actions have gone astray along your life path. Some deflection is to be expected, and at the same time, so is redirection.
There is a fine line between healthy skepticism and chronic overanalysis. The universe doesn’t work in black and white, Virgo. The longer you keep your perspective trapped in this highly outlined format, the harder it will be to deal with life’s ups and downs as they come. In fact, pursuing perfection is, at best, an exhausting and futile endeavor.
The stars urge you to approach the world (and your inner self) with a more forgiving heart this week. How might you react to your current circumstances if you gave up your magnificently high standards of behavior? Great prosperity can be found outside the confines of your comfort zone. A flexible mindset is like anything else in life. Practice makes perfect.
Not all problems, obstacles, or injustices are yours to solve, Libra. Your heart is bigger than most, but this is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you have an immense capacity to support, love, and empower those around you. But on the other hand, you find it difficult to do the same for yourself after spending all your energy on others.
This week, the stars urge you to extend that same radical compassion you so willingly extend to yourself. Considering your own needs and helping others don’t always have to be mutually exclusive. There are ways to achieve both if you take the time to try. Stay tuned early in the week for a chance to put yourself first. You deserve it.
The reality that you have made the best decisions you could with the information you had at the time. and the reality that those decisions are no longer best for you may be true at the same time. Changing your mind is an inevitability of life. It is not a sign of failure from your former self, nor is it a sign of being picky or wayward in your current state.
Rather, it is a gentle nudge toward a more enlightened perspective. Over time, the revelations you make today will soon become outdated notions that you leave behind in the future. It’s all part of the process. Use the emotions you are currently feeling as a guide. Decisions you made one, two, or even ten years ago don’t have the same navigational power.
As much as you want to drag everyone along with you on your life’s path, the world doesn’t work that way. Holding others to your standards of ambition, work ethic, and perseverance is a recipe for disappointment. Serve as an example if necessary. But don’t let your ego fool you into thinking you have any significant influence over another person’s motivations.
At the end of the day, we all act in what we believe is our best interest. As such, it would be best if you focused your energy on progressing on your own. If your friends, family or colleagues want to join you, great! But holding your breath while waiting for them to do so is a waste of everyone’s time.
When we’re immersed in the monotony of daily life, it can be difficult to see the big picture. As a result, we feel trapped in quicksand that is actually more like a rain puddle; It’s an inconvenience when stepped on, sure, but it’s certainly not something difficult to overcome. Consider how different the problems you faced five years ago feel now, in retrospect.
In fact, your current situation will one day seem much more manageable as time goes by. But fortunately, you don’t have to wait for years to adopt this perspective. Don’t focus on making grandiose changes or gestures toward improvement. Instead, try to adopt small, significant changes that will compound over time.
Change is rarely a painless process, Aquarius. Don’t let this temporary discomfort convince you that you’ve made the wrong decision. As difficult as it may seem to contemplate the unknown, consider this: the sooner you enter this uncharted territory, the sooner you can begin to familiarize yourself with it. In fact, the only thing standing in your way is you.
As your ruling planet, Uranus, continues its retrograde motion, the cosmos urges you to reflect on the ways you have alienated or discredited yourself from achieving true happiness. A harmonious trine between this planet and an introspective new moon offers much-needed clarity in this regard. Keep an open mind as information comes in.
Identifying the ways we have been holding ourselves back can be a daunting process. But avoiding this exercise will not prevent this type of self-sabotage from occurring. On the contrary, it will probably aggravate the problem. Instead of focusing on what could have been, the stars urge you to take a different perspective: what could have been? be?
The hard truth of realizing this is that you will not be able to make up for lost time. However, your identification of the problem has now saved your future self from regressing further, regardless of whether you want to or not. Rejoice in this effort to be better with yourself and with others. The important thing is not the mistakes, but how you learn from them.
