Love Horoscope for the Week of January 9

The week starts off with a fabulous Full Moon in family-oriented Cancer on Monday. Think family is comprised solely of blood relatives and/or intimate friends? Think again. Once this Full Moon pops like a beautiful balloon in the sky, it connects to Saturn, that planet that binds us together in relationship-oriented Libra.

Everyone’s your family, from the grocer to the gardener, from the builder to the banker. You don’t need an astrologer to tell you that it can be hard enough to love your own relatives, never mind the guy at work who drives you nuts everyday (and not in a sexy way). Still, that’s what you’re called to do. And if that’s just not do-able, then you can at least love what you’re doing, whatever it is.

Still, there are human limitations, right? Time feels condensed, and obligations overwhelm. You can’t be in two places at once—well not on this planet yet, anyway. When you’ve got multiple commitments and only one chunk o’ time and one body, how to choose where to be and what to do? Actually, that’s the fun part: you focus on what your heart’s pointing to in the minute.

Sound a little too simplistic? Follow the thread then: Keeper of Time—Saturn—sits in Venus’ domain of Libra. Venus is all about the heart, yes? I wonder if much-maligned Saturn ever gets ticked when we don’t master the art of doing what we love and being with whom we love. What do you think?
