Zodiac Gemstone Forecast: Jan 11 – Jan 17

Your astral or zodiac gemstone is based on ancient correspondences – unlike birthstones, which take into account popularity and cultural preferences. Find the stone that matches your zodiac sign to see what’s in store for you this week.

Aquarius, early in the week you may be tempted to follow the crowd right into chaos, but you’ll want to call on those powers of diplomacy to keep everyone working in harmony. Later this week you might be visited by the muse and find yourself craving a creative outlet – go with it! Consider shaking things up by trying something new this weekend.

Pisces, we know you love good party, but New Year’s is over! It’s time to channel your good-time energy into more productive ventures. Turn that hobby into a career or take on a little more responsibility at work. Speaking of getting serious, if you’ve been putting it off, now is also a good time to make things official with a special someone.

It’s time to get planning, Aries! It’s a new year, and now is the time to lay out your plans for a profitable 2016. Don’t know what to do? Revisit some old ideas – buried in all those notes and old files might just be the gold mine you’re looking for. This weekend turn off the phone, cancel your appointments and spend some time reflecting on what YOU want!

You may want to keep negotiations to a minimum the early this week, Taurus. You’ll be feeling an all or nothing attitude that won’t leave much room for compromise. Hold off for a few days before having any sensitive talks. After Wednesday, you’ll be feeling better and ready to play nice. In fact you might be in the mood to play really nice by Saturday…

Gemini, this is the week to take stock of what you want and be vocal about it. Bring those cloud dancing feet back to the Earth, and ask yourself what’s really important. Once you decide – it’s time to go for it. If you’ve been looking for a little more structure and clarity, now’s the time. You may want to consider stretching yourself socially – try something new!

Okay, Cancer, last call…party’s over. It’s time to get back to business, but that doesn’t have to mean the fun’s over. This week, you’ll want to buckle down and get productive – but do it with passion and you won’t even realize it’s work! Later this week, you’ll find yourself the bell of the ball with a full dance card. Enjoy it, but try not to be tempted by an old flame.

Leo this week you may be called on to be king (or queen) of the forest. Just make sure you have all the information before you lead the way in order to avoid getting everyone lost. If you’re in the market for something serious in the relationship department, keep your eyes peeled this week. You might just stumble into the path of Mr/Ms Right this weekend.

You might just find your emotions all over the place this week, Virgo. It may be difficult to find balance. Instead of seeking the advice of others, use all those emotions to follow your own instincts. Listen to your gut. You’ll get a boost of energy toward the end of the week, so it might be a good time to fire up that imagination and start a new project!

Libra, this is the week to get your house in order. Literally. Spend time reorganizing and deep cleaning. You’ll find the energy flowing in new ways. Think before you speak. Anything you say or write will have long reaching consequences for better or worse, so be sure. Starting this week consider turning a hobby into a money-maker.

This week, Scorpio, you’ll need to be the calm in the storm. Others will be looking to you to set the tone. Also, your natural eye for detail will be key to avoiding future problems. Don’t be afraid to speak up and be seen. You may need to release a grudge in order to move forward this week. Try taking a little ‘stay’cation this weekend.

Sagittarius, pay close attention to the purse strings this week.  We know you love the finer things in life, but if you can’t actually afford to buy them new, check out discount stores or consignment shops. Remind yourself this week that time with your friends is more valuable than belongings. Also, this weekend is the perfect time to start those fitness resolutions!

Sweet, sweet Capricorn. It’s wonderful how much you care about everyone around you – but don’t forget to take care of yourself. Spend some time in meditation figuring out what means the most to you. It’s a good time to set some boundaries with someone who’s pulling too much of your energy. Also, while you’re cleaning up don’t forget your diet!
