Reverberations of our Starman's electric, eccentric ethereal genius are felt everywhere this week. Leave it to Bowie to connect the collective in a way that's alive and filled with the kind of inspiration and deep feeling that's been direly missing in a stream of boring and hellish social media feeds! With his Aquarius rising and packed 12th house planets in Capricorn ( His Sun, Mars and Mercury were all in Capricorn in the 12th, squared by Neptune in Libra in the 8th) this man was clearly from another dimension and strove to live his life in superhuman capacity. As he said in one interview, he never wanted to settle for being " a puny human". His Moon opposite his ascendant conjunct with Pluto and Saturn all in Leo made him one incredible artist and collaborator!

David Bowie is totally bringing back all of the glam and inspiration and reminding us to wake up and kick it up about a thousand notches with LIFE, LOVE, and ART! Time is fleeting, time is precious! Don the turquoise eyeshadow, die your hair bright orange, put on a sparkly spacesuits, be a lightning bolt! #Aquariusrising

The momentum is totally building and the sluggish yuck of last week is giving way to a brand new energy. Career efforts could still feel dragging, but don’t let the delays get you down. The First Quarter lunar phase starts on Saturday in your very own stars, Aries. You’re totally in your element this weekend and will feel like those 2016 resolutions are finally catching fire.

You’ve got your eye on a very big prize. This weekend’s First Quarter Moon brings fiery inspiration and new creative ideas to get you into action. The powerful energy of 2016 is just starting to kick in, now that the Moon is waxing and will hit your stars by Sunday.

Gemini:

Your personal drive is off the charts this week, Gemini. You can tap into the energy during the first part of the week to expand your vision and embellish current creative projects with a bit of glam. It’s also an excellent time to go back to old projects that have unfinished pieces or loose ends in honour of the ongoing Mercury Retrograde. Your social world takes precedence after Thursday, so be ready for nonstop running around with your mates. Friday’s First Quarter Moon is the perfect impetus to jumpstart your dreams and long-term plans for 2016. Don’t be afraid to pick the brains of your genius friends for new sources of insight and inspiration.

Cancer:

You are sorting out the delicate balance between your work and home life this week, Cancer. This is no easy task, but if anyone can master the impossible, it’s you. You’re the bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan kind of gal. You are the never-ending source of nurturing and tender, loving care for so many in your world but also a mega-mogul when it comes to your other goals. This week you must replenish the well before continuing to feed everyone. You know where you need more balance. The Moon will bring career goodness this weekend starting late Thursday. Immediate action removes the fear.

Leo:

The week begins with a hyper-focus on your relationship zone and thus others dominate your world. You could feel obsessed with staying connected to the point of forgetting to take time for yourself. Alone time is necessary by the middle of the week, so try to keep your social schedule lighter between Wednesday and Friday. You’ll feel totally revived and re-inspired by the weekend. Expansiveness plus the long-distance travel bug bites you near the First Quarter Moon phase this Friday. You’ve got a Full Moon building up in your stars for next week, so the feelings start now.

Virgo:

Some neurotic, manic energy kicks in as you work desperately to carve out the perfect daily schedule. You cannot stand having anything left half-finished on your agenda. Give yourself a break from the action midweek to get back in touch with your girly, romantic side. The love buzz should replace the stress cortisol immediately. You can’t be all work and too little play and expect to feel good (let alone balanced). Friday’s First Quarter Moon lights up your house of transformation and deep change. What would you like to relinquish once and for all in order to be the best you that you know you can be?

Libra:

You’re forever striving for balance and yet it continues to be the elusive chase of your life. This week the obsession with finding some kind of working equilibrium reaches new heights. You can’t stand feeling out of whack in so many areas of your life at once. You’re not alone, Libra. So much is just in need of recalibration as the planets start new phases and throw everyone into a spin. The good news is that the stars bring the romance and creativity this week. You’ll be working your tail off midweek but then it’s back to love by the weekend. The First Quarter Moon lights up your relationship zone to show you what you want in the dating, mating, relating realm.

Scorpio:

Romance and productivity are in fabulously abundant supply this week, Scorpio. You’re grounded and determined to tackle as many tasks as possible. You could feel like hiding at home during the first part of the week, but by Wednesday, you’re ready for love. You’re also finally getting back into some serious discipline. It may feel long overdue, but alls well that ends well. The stopping and starting fits of 2015 are over. You have Mars on your side now bringing the mojo. This weekend brings a fiery First Quarter Moon in your house of work and health. You’re determined to blast through deadlines in record time.

Sagittarius:

There’s some sassy creative sparks at your service this week, Sadge. You are lighting up several worlds at once (as per usual). The early part of the week has you glued to your devices in a way that might throw you into altered states (read: distraction central). The current Mercury Retrograde is full of unexpected plot twists just to keep you on your toes. Of course you’ll find the silver lining in the messed up plans. Give yourself ample opportunities to hunker down at home with your favourite books and animals during the middle section of the week. The First Quarter Moon on Friday brings the love and creativity in spades.

Capricorn:

All of the recent chaos is finally giving way to a long overdue homecoming. Sometimes it takes a major confluence of crazy events to get you to unplug and focus on number one for a bit. You cannot be everyone’s boss, parent and rule maker 24-7, darling. Let others learn to shoulder some of the responsibility and pull up the grown up pants for a change. This is your week to get your finances in order. Nothing makes you happier than getting your money area in tip-top shape. The ongoing Mercury Retrograde in your stars could be creating some backtracking.

Aquarius:

You’re getting off to a fabulous start this week Aquarius. The Moon is lighting up your stars and putting you in top form all around. Your social world is bright and your energy high. Use the middle of the week to get grounded financially. If you blew the bank over the holidays, now is the time to undo some of the damage. This weekend (Friday) brings a First Quarter Moon in your communication zone to help alleviate some of the recent Mercury Retrograde stress. Set your intentions for new courses of learning and ways of thinking and speaking. Does a rash tongue get you into hot water?

Pisces:

Give yourself to retreat during the first part of the week, Pisces. You’ll be feeling totally world weary and wanting to escape from stress and crowds. Guard your energy and time fiercely this week, so you don’t feel drained. The Moon will light up your own stars starting midweek getting you back to glamour galore. You'll require as much magic and pampering as possible. Friday’s First Quarter Moon lands in your money zone. This is an excellent phase to focus on getting your finances back in shape. Once you put your imagination on the case, you are fast cash manifesting machine, darling.
