Aries
Horoscopes for week beginning 11 January 2021
There is change in the air this week and not just because the week begins with three planets in different parts of your chart than they were at the start of last week. For much of 2020, there were a larger than normal number of planets in retrograde motion, due to the fact that Venus and Mars, who only turn retrograde every other year, both turned retrograde last year. Every other planet in the solar system turns retrograde once a year and Mercury three times a year. The last time there were no planets in retrograde motion and with the brakes on was in April 2020 but that changes this week as well. It begins with the dwarf planet Eris' direct turn in Aries on Monday but the biggest impact will come from Uranus' direct turn in your income sector on Thursday. As the last planet in retrograde motion, Uranus' direct turn will release the final brake holding things back. The pace of life in general is set to accelerate but especially on the income and career fronts.

Taurus
Horoscopes for week beginning 11 January 2021
Life is likely to feel different this week and that includes from the start but even more so by the end of the week and there are four reasons for that. The first is Mars' return to Taurus last Thursday and both the drive and motivation this brings as you finally move into your new Mars cycle. The second reason is Venus' return to an adventurous part of your chart over the weekend and the friendly aspect she has already formed to Mars, helping to fuel a new passion for adventure. The third reason is that while Mars has returned to begin your new Mars cycle, the full effect won't be felt until Uranus turns direct in Taurus on Thursday. As if waiting for Mars to return, Uranus has been sitting on the pause button. The fourth reason why things are likely to feel different by the end of the week is that by Thursday you will have a better read on the professional momentum that is making 2021 a very different year to 2020.

Gemini
Horoscopes for week beginning 11 January 2021
Held back by a retrograde phase, Mars should have returned to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, to begin the six week wind down to your current Mars cycle, five months ago but only returned last week. Had Mars returned on time he would not only have returned to Gemini but would have been and gone and your new Mars cycle would have launched during one of the most challenging years on record. Mars couldn't offer a do over but he could offer the next best thing, which was to push the pause button and delay his return. While Mars won't return to Gemini until early March, his first full week in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart allows you to finally get on with the job of bringing this current Mars cycle home. This is a time of completion, closure and the closer you get to his return to your sign, a chance to recharge your batteries. At the same time, a growing mix of wanderlust, curiosity and adventure is taking away a lot of last year's urgency.

Cancer
Horoscopes for week beginning 11 January 2021
A combination of a drop in urgency on both the job and career fronts, without taking away from the momentum gained and a growing focus on personal and professional networking, friendship and relationship building, shifts the dynamics fairly dramatically this week. When Mars finally left your career sector and returned to your friendship sector last Thursday and Venus finally left your work sector and returned to your relationship sector over the weekend, they were both overdue. Both were held back by retrograde phases last year and never spent any time in your friendship or relationship sectors in 2020 so are ready to make up for lost time. They have already aligned over the weekend and a New Moon on Wednesday will give this new era for friendship and relationship building a further boost. It is a day later that the Moon will be giving you an intuitive read on money matters and on the planets that are set to make 2021 the year for taking your financial power back.

Leo
Horoscopes for week beginning 11 January 2021
The pace of life is set to increase fairly dramatically this week and especially on the job front and professionally. However, this includes anything that keeps you busy or occupies your time and also when it comes to your personal or professional goals and ambitions. The same energy that will be opening new doors and creating new momentum on the job front will also be finding other ways to keep you busy. At the same time, the same energy that is firing things up on the career front will also see your competitive spirit looking for any outlet. It is a combination of Mars' return to your career sector, the most professionally charged and competitive part of your chart last Thursday and Venus' return to your busy work sector over the weekend but also the conditions this week. Both were held back by retrograde phases so never made it back in 2020 so are ready to make up for lost time. However, a New Moon and Uranus' direct turn will give this even more fuel.

Virgo
Horoscopes for week beginning 11 January 2021
As much as this week will give you your first read on the planets that are set to make 2021 a busy year, whether for job growth or anything that keeps you busy or occupies your time, life is unlikely to become all work and no play. Or at least not yet and especially not if Venus, Mars and their enablers have anything to say about it. On its own, Mars' return to an adventurous part of your chart last Thursday and Venus' return to a playful part two days later is reason enough to make a week that is all work and no play out of the question. However, held back by retrograde phases both were unable to return in 2020 and having already formed a friendly aspect over the weekend are ready to make up for lost time. This will be further energised by a New Moon in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart on Wednesday and Uranus' direct turn in an adventurous part on Thursday.

Libra
Horoscopes for week beginning 11 January 2021
Starting the week with the Moon in your communication sector is a chance to ensure the communication lines are open from the get go and the timing couldn't be better. When the Moon returned over the weekend it was less than 24 hours after Venus left, with a chance to extend her mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice by a few days. This couldn't be more important, for after Mars left your relationship sector last week and with the dwarf planet Eris turning direct here on Monday, this was always going to be a week for regrouping. Meanwhile, while Mars has turned his attention onto money matters and Venus onto home and family matters they are still working as a team. This is good news for home and money matters but especially where they come together. It is from Thursday that playful lunar vibes will reveal some serious support for matters of the heart and for all things fun, playful, romantic and creative.

Scorpio
Horoscopes for week beginning 11 January 2021
Mars' return to your relationship sector last Thursday got off to a bumpy start thanks to the Moon's return to Scorpio and clash just hours later. While at the time it might have felt like bad timing, in reality, the timing couldn't be better. The Moon was only passing through and during its first visit to Scorpio for the year, which only ran its course over the weekend, this was a chance to check in and get your own bearings. However, this also exposed any balance issues between your personal and relationship needs upfront, giving Mars something to fight for. However, what has already turned things around was not the Moon's departure from Scorpio over the weekend but Venus, the planet of love's return to your communication sector. Venus has returned to give your heart and your relationships a voice and finds something to work with from the get go. A New Moon in your communication sector on Wednesday will give this a boost, while Uranus' direct turn in your relationship sector on Thursday will make it easier to let the past go.

Sagittarius
Horoscopes for week beginning 11 January 2021
Starting the week with the Moon in Sagittarius is always an advantage, giving you an intuitive edge from the get go and a read on the different influences in play. There is definitely a lot of change and excitement in the air this week, especially on the income, job and communication fronts but this visit is especially important. When the Moon returned over the weekend it had come full circle from a New Moon that during your birthday month gave you a chance to commit to your new solar year, the future and the journey ahead. The problem was, by the time the Moon left Venus had yet to return to give your heart a voice. Venus left Sagittarius over the weekend and while she left less than 24 hours before the Moon returned so their paths didn't cross, the desires and expectations she left you with were still fresh. On Monday in particular, the Moon gives you a chance to push the 'reset' button on the intentions and resolutions made during your birthday month.

Capricorn
Horoscopes for week beginning 11 January 2021
There is a whole new focus on things close to your heart this week, as Venus and Mars make a spectacular return. It was last Thursday that Mars finally returned to a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart and just two days later that Venus, the planet of love finally returned to Capricorn over the weekend. I say finally because retrograde phases have held them both back and while both should have returned in 2020, they didn't. Venus and Mars have already formed a friendly aspect over the weekend, joining forces to make up for lost time. This comes just as Wednesday's New Moon gives you a chance to commit to your new solar year, the future and the journey ahead, just as you move into the final seven days of your birthday month. Venus has returned in time to give your heart a voice and this is something that Mars and his romantic and creative passions are amplifying.

Aquarius
Horoscopes for week beginning 11 January 2021
There were three planetary shifts between last Thursday and Saturday but in the process, no areas of your chart were left empty and no area is now occupied where it wasn't before. The themes have stayed the same but the players and therefore the dynamics have changed. Mars' return to your home and family sector brings the drive and motivation to make things happen and get things done and especially once Uranus turns direct here on Thursday. Meanwhile, Venus has joined the Sun in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart during the final week of the month long wind down of your old solar year, to take your heart on a nostalgic trip down memory lane. It was Mercury's return to Aquarius that has brought a chance to get your head in the game ahead of the Sun's return next week but also your first chance to get a read on the impact from Saturn and Jupiter's return just before Christmas.

Pisces
Horoscopes for week beginning 11 January 2021
While there have been some significant changes towards the end of last week and there are even more developments this week, the biggest impact has come from Mars' departure from your work sector last week. This is not just the area of your chart that is focused on work and job matters but on anything that keeps you busy and occupies your time. The six weeks that Mars spends here, every other year, can be the busiest of that year and it can leave you feeling spent once he is gone. Except when Mars left last Thursday it was not to bring a six week visit to a close but a nearly seven month visit, his longest in 32 years. While this will have ongoing implications across the income and job fronts now, there is a chance to ease back and spend a little more time in life's slow lane. While there are areas of your life that are accelerating this is mainly on the communication, personal and professional networking fronts.
