Your Weekly Horoscopes: January 16 to 22, 2022

The full moon in Cancer on the 17th brings some home or family matters that you’ve been avoiding into full, unavoidable focus. Chasing your dreams is great and all, but what’s the use of being a success if you’re not grounded in anything? Reach out to a close friend, not for advice but for a shoulder to cry on. It’s OK to sit in silence and wait before you share anything new. Try keeping your big plans secret for once.

This week’s mantra: If I can’t go farther, I can go deeper.

The full moon in Cancer on the 17th lights up the part of your chart that’s all about what’s familiar: your daily walks, your group chat and your beloved weekly coffee date with your sister. Everything that you keep close gets closer this week, and though in some ways it’s lovely, in other ways it’s suffocating. We’re not meant to be constantly processing so much information. Work on releasing your need to check every notification.

This week’s mantra: I fill my days with intention.

The full moon in Cancer on the 17th lights up your money sector and whether you’re getting a raise, settling an inheritance or finally upgrading your bedroom furniture, your net worth and your self-esteem is on the rise. But remember: That raise comes with more responsibility; that inheritance comes with family power dynamics; and that bedroom furniture requires maintenance. Everything you value requires care.

This week’s mantra: I value what’s mine.

This week’s full moon on the 17th is in your sign, and it’s the cosmic glow up you’ve been waiting for!

Though you’re of course happy to receive positive feedback from others, this lunation is especially about being kinder to yourself. Take yourself out for a celebratory drink and keep going.

This week’s mantra: I go where I glow.

As the full moon on the 17th hits your unconscious sector, you’re feeling low-energy and perfectly content with hibernating on the couch. Cozy up with a good book and your phone on Do Not Disturb. You’re not missing anything by choosing to spend time with yourself. Once Aquarius season begins on the 19th, partnerships of all kinds take center stage so try to soak up any available alone time while you still can!

This week’s mantra: Alone isn’t the same as lonely.

The full moon on the 17th highlights the part of your chart that’s all about community and alliances, calling your attention to those who support your wildest ambitions.

Once Aquarius season begins on the 19th, you’re excited to get back to work and focused on the steps you must take to achieve what you desire.

This week’s mantra: My support system is everything I need.

The full moon in Cancer on the 17th lights up the part of your chart that’s all about your career, public image and relationship to success.

Receiving a sweet note from a former student or inspiring testimonial from a recent client gives you confidence that your impact will resonate far into the future.

This week’s mantra: I reach who needs to hear my voice.

Back in July 2020, a tiny spark of an idea took hold of you.

Even if it’s only in your imagination, where do you want to go?

This week’s mantra: I’m aligned with what’s meant for me.

All of your bills are due at the full moon on the 17th. This lunation comes as a harsh reality check about debts, taxes and all kinds of shared resources. Maybe your partner has to take a pay cut or your kids’ school tuition has skyrocketed. Now’s the time to consider how you can cut back without giving up the things that bring you joy. As Aquarius season begins on the 19th, a chat with a friend helps you sort out your priorities.

This week’s mantra: I control my money. My money doesn’t control me.

The full moon on the 17th falls in your relationship sector and whether you’re taking your partnership to the next level or breaking up for good, this is a time when you have to be very delicate around someone else’s needs.

Your season begins on the 19th which puts your focus on both your image and your health. You deserve to glow!

This week’s mantra: I’m on the path to better health.

This week’s mantra: “I get what I want.”
