What’s Shifting in the Stars This Week?
05 January, 2025
The second week of the year continues with strong Sagittarius energy, but the feeling is different now. Momentum has been set. The question is no longer where you are going, but why. With the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars still gathered in Sagittarius, belief systems, values and long term vision are under examination. What felt exciting last week now asks for alignment.
Jupiter remains retrograde in Gemini in Punarvasu, encouraging thoughtful reconsideration and mental refinement. Saturn is direct in Pisces, slowly stabilising emotional and spiritual foundations. Rahu holds firm in Aquarius in Shatabhisha, sharpening insight and truth seeking, while Ketu remains alone in Leo, keeping ego in check and expression understated.
This is a week to adjust your course, not abandon it.
