There’s a minty freshness coming your way this week as Aquarius season brings the New Year mood that’s felt missing up until now. This is the week to greenlight all those things you were thinking about starting – or maybe quitting – for 2023.

With a nudge from the moon, Venus and Saturn, setting long-term goals that help you honour your individuality should take centre stage. Embracing – and enforcing – loving boundaries, finding the courage to step away from routine and backing yourself to stand your ground (even when it isn’t popular) could help you get to where you need to go. Being true to your values may not always be the easiest route but it’s often the most satisfying.

ARIES AND ARIES RISING

After months of stop/start, you’re finally starting to get a little momentum. Use your newfound mojo to do a little networking. Old friends could prove especially valuable to your long-term plans. Trust any seemingly out-of-the-blue pings on Tuesday/Wednesday and follow the breadcrumbs.

TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING

As Aquarius season pulls focus on your career, you’re tasked with the question: are you in this for the long haul? If the answer is no, seeking the counsel of an old boss could be especially fruitful. They may not have a job for you right this instant, but a chat plant the seeds for something serious down the track.

GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING

If you’re feeling a little world-weary from the past few months (totally warranted, btw), rest assured this week things are looking up. But if you’re not quite sure what to do with yourself now the dust has settled, seeking a second opinion is a good idea. A coffee with an old mentor or teacher earlier in the week could provide some much-needed perspective.

CANCER AND CANCER RISING

There’s a saying that doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result, is the definition of madness. So this year, what do you want to change and, just as importantly, what do you need to do differently to get a new result? Lean on confidantes and loved ones for support and guidance. This is a marathon not a sprint.

LEO AND LEO RISING

This is a solid week for some serious relationship chats. You may see plenty of room for improvement when it comes to your partner (or your potential partners), but what role do you have to play in the story? Consider the old adage, “the only person you can really change is yourself,” before you get too carried away with “feedback”.

VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING

Ready for a little wellness reboot? This week is glorious for getting serious – and inventive – when it comes to your health. Sign up for salsa dancing, or register for a crazy stair challenge with a friend. Get outside your comfort zone, and don’t be afraid to say yes to a long-term goal; you’ve got this.

LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING

If you’re still feeling silly from silly season, this could be your moment to hit refresh. With Saturn and Venus getting serious in your pleasure sector, thinking long-term about your Achilles heel – be it shopping, Soave or sugar – can only be a good thing this week. On the flipside if you’re keen to escalate a hook-up into something more serious, now’s your chance to have ‘the chat’.

SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING

There’s the chance to strengthen a familiar bond this week as Venus and Saturn encourage you to build a bridge. Whether it’s calling your grandmother or extending an olive branch to someone from your past, there’s a courageous quality to the mood. If you’re reconnecting after a period of silence, move slowly – these things take time.

SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING

Even the craziest ideas need to start somewhere. This week capitalise on the new moon afterglow and begin chipping away at a goal you’ve been thinking about tackling a long time. Launch the KickStarter, put pen to paper – or even the simple act of telling someone your plan. Sometimes talking about it is all you ever needed to do to make it real.

CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING

No one does a long-term goal like you and this week you’re getting a solid nudge to get serious about your money. As the sun shifts its focus to your finances, taking a little time to think about how you want to spend and save differently this year will be a brilliant use of energy. You don’t need all the answers (or savings), just start to devise a plan to help you pave a new financial path.

AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING

If you’ve been lashing out on quirky self-indulgences since the start of the year, this may be the week you finally feel the urge to rein it in. With Venus moving up on Saturn, you may find yourself thinking about the long-term impact all those little treats. If you do splash the cash, ask yourself whether what you’re buying is a true investment in, and reflection of, you.

PISCES AND PISCES RISING

You’re officially getting the greenlight to go to ground as the sky invites you to rest, restore and recharge. If time and cash allow, returning to a beloved far-flung place, preferably with no WIFI, should do the trick. Stepping out of reality may ruffle some feathers, but remember you can’t pour from an empty cup.
