Happy New Year to all
The New Year has arrived and if January is a sample of what’s coming, hold on to your pants. Mercury will be turning retrograde on 1/11/2009 and will not go direct until 2/2/2009. In the process it re-enters Capricorn. Whenever Mercury changes signs during a retrograde, it brings with it a change in mind. Also on 1/11/2009 there is the Full Moon at 21 degrees of Cancer. We are heading into a New Moon Eclipse on 1/26/2009. You are more than likely starting to see the tension building in some area of your life. And now for the piece de resistance…There will be a Saturn Uranus opposition in the works from 1/30/2009 to 2/11/2009 and exact on 2/5/2009. Out with the old and in with the new. Try to keep this in mind as these period progresses. Whatever leaves needs to go; whatever new (even if uncomfortable) enters, hang on for the ride. This is happening with Uranus at 20 degrees direct in Pisces and Saturn at 20 degrees retrograde in Virgo. Where they land in your chart will be where the action is.
Venus will be entering Pisces and romance will fill the air. Mars is currently in Capricorn pushing for dominance in whatever house it is in. Jupiter makes its leap into Aquarius on 1/5/2009 changing the vibration to mental pursuits rather than activating plans. Pluto is now firmly entrenched in Capricorn challenging us to re-vamp any situation that has crumpled under scrutiny and building new structures from the bottom up. I’d say we are in for quite a month. If you have noticed, Mars conjunct Pluto produced a lot of anger, violence and war. Let’s hope the Mercury retrograde slows it up. As we move forward to 1/26/2009, there is a New Moon Eclipse at 6 degrees of Aquarius. New Moon Eclipses often come in with a challenge. This will be no different except there will be a transiting Jupiter conjunct this Eclipse. Jupiter so close to the Eclipse point takes a very active role in the delineation. Imagine that wherever the Eclipse falls in your chart what kind of effect would there be if you threw Jupiter in the mix? Look to the house that is ruled by Jupiter, which is Sagittarius. That house will be involved in this Eclipse as well as the idea of expansion. We will have more on this in the next installment.
Please read your rising sign as my forecasts will be more personal to you.
