DECEMBER 2008 OUTLOOK
Happy Birthday SAGITTARIUS and
CAPRICORN Natives!! :-) HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!! A rare astrological event
occurs during the holiday season as six planets visit Capricorn, with five if
them - Sun, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Pluto - there all at once at the time
of the December New Moon on the 27th!! Tiny but powerful Pluto signals a turn
toward major change in society. Capricorn is associated with authority,
discipline, the established order and institutions such as government and big
business. Transformative Pluto's visit begins a process of altering the
significant structures that support our culture. The good news is that events
of this magnitude do not occur over night. On a personal level, we are all at
the beginning of a process in which we will seek a more purposeful life.
Venus also spends time in Capricorn but leaves on the 7th. With so much
energy concentrated in Capricorn we should all have a memorable month. When
planets are in Capricorn they express their energies in a controlled,
careful, efficient way. If you use these energies wisely, you can make good
practical moves and decisions. Luckily, no planets are retrograde until late
on the 31st, which means you can move forward with confidence. If you are
feeling tied down, try a trip to the unconventional side of your thinking by
stepping outside your comfort zone. Surprises await! :-)
When December begins, the Sun,
Mercury and Mars are in Sagittarius, the sign of carefree expansion.
Relationships thrive; everyone is in a happy, generous mood and you will
begin to get your Christmas plans organized early. Make a list, enjoy
business rewards, and shop!! When Mercury moves into Sagittarius on the 12th,
good ideas and clear communications may be rewarded thanks to the Full Moon
in Gemini on that date. Serious plans and decisions take hold, especially
traditional or professional ones. Mindsets are intense as we realize there is
work to be done before you can enjoy the holiday fun. But, remember that hard
work brings precious rewards. Favors get noticed!! When the Full Moon shines
on the 12th at 11:37am at 21°02' Venus will be pulled into the picture. Home
will be a peaceful haven as you take some time out to adjust your attitude.
If you want to make a point in a discussion, use a subtle approach and be
polite if you come up against an authority figure who disagrees with you. You
can influence people by being reliable and professional. Let those you love
know it! The New Moon on the 27th at 7:22am at 6°7' Capricorn sets the social
scene as you go to parties or concerts. This New Moon day is also a good one
to plan your next career or business move as you can comfortably deal with
superiors and others in positions of authority.
NOVEMBER 2008 OUTLOOK
Happy Birthday SCORPIO and
SAGITTARIUS Natives!!You will have a variety of issues on your mind as
Mercury visits three signs. Self-reliance, resourcefulness and determination
are strong as Mars is in Scorpio. Mars enters Sagittarius on the 16th and you
feel the urge to travel, read and spend time with people from other
backgrounds. Tremendous shifts in conscious begin this month and your best
bet is to go with the flow rather than attempt to resist it. It all begins on
the 1st with Neptune turning direct after almost six months of retrograde
motion. When Neptune changes direction it usually stirs up confusion. In this
particular case, however, a heightened awareness of what is occurring and
what we next want to create in our lives will begin to dawn, and our ability
to see things clearly will begin to sharpen. As this 'opening' begins, things
can be a little confusing as we suddenly become aware of what is going on
outside of us rather than in our own subjective world. Accept this confusion.
Confusion is good because it is an indicator of growth and it serves as a
message that you do not have all the information as of yet to make a
decision. Be patient and know that what is happening to you is also happening
to everyone.
Uranus turns direct in Pisces on
the 27th (staying direct until July 1, 2009). Uranus going direct frees our
energies so that we can once again more actively pursue our vision. Toward
the end of the month, we will definitely feel an inner stirring that encourages
us to begin implementing creative new ideas that have been occurring to us
over the last three months. The doors open to go forward and to simply be
willing to share news that can add happy excitement to our lives and the
lives of those around us. Pluto enters Capricorn on the 26th and remains in
this sign until 2024. Because Pluto's job is to transform outworn systems,
the next few years will be focused on clearing out what is no longer of use.
A shift in consciousness will occur in all of us and a new phase of your life
will unfold that will affect all areas of your life. A new attempt to
stabilize the world economy and bring back a sense of security prevails. The
Full Moon occurs on the 13th at 1:19am at 21°15' Taurus. The New Moon occurs
when the Moon and the Sun are in the same sign at the same degree - usually
once a month. It is a time of concentrated energies and new beginnings. This
month the New Moon occurs on the 27th at 11:55am at 5°45' minutes of
Sagittarius. Your New Moon wishes should include freedom, adventure and trust
in positive outcomes.
OCTOBER 2008 OUTLOOK
Happy Birthday LIBRA and SCORPIO
Natives!! This can be a time of great innovation as you find new ways to do
all those old familiar things, and teach others how to do the same. Saturn
and Uranus are about to oppose each other, which happens every 40 years.
There is no doubt that the world as a whole is currently experiencing a time
of tension. One of the biggest astrological players in this scenario is
Saturn, the planet of great consequences and of karma. Saturn is currently in
Virgo, an Earth sign that is harmonious with energy. Saturn entered Virgo on
September 2, 2007 and stays until October 29, 2009. The lessons of Saturn,
the Teacher, are forcing us to see things as they really are, not as we want
them to be. You may worry too much, or second-guess yourself more than you
should, but your self-knowledge is your greatest asset. Uranus, the planet of
sudden change and surprise brings a new vision or a private dream into
manifestation. It is moving retrograde in Pisces all month and suggests that
we may be feeling a real sense of start/stop in many areas of our lives,
especially in projects that involve work-related activities. Things become
rather intense as Mars, the warrior, travels through Scorpio (a Fixed Water
sign) from October 3 until November 16. Scorpio is associated with strong
emotions, deep needs, and secret desires. It provokes passion and a deepening
of our level of commitment. You have the urge to assert yourself and act
decisively to achieve your desires. Mercury is still backpedaling in Libra.
The indecisiveness of Libra may be more pronounced until Mercury kicks into
forward gear on October 15, the day after the Full Moon. The mood lightens
when Venus enters outgoing Sagittarius on October 18 stirring attractions to
faraway places.
Full Moons are power times. As the
Moon approaches its monthly opposition to the Sun, we are able to see more
clearly where we are coming from and where we need to go. With the Sun at
21°51' Libra and the Moon at 21°51 Aries, this Full Aries Moon encourages
expressions of compassion and courage. Energetic doorways appear, revealing
pathways previous invisible or inaccessible. The New Moon occurs when the
Moon and the Sun are in the same sign at the same degree - usually once a
month. This month's New Moon occurs when both the Sun and Moon are at 5°54'of
Scorpio on October 28 at 6:13pm. It is a time of new beginnings and
concentrated energies; a spiritual crossroad where the consequences of our
choices are particularly momentous. Will you cling to the old or turn toward
the new? The New Moon always shows us that we are entering a time of great
change. Where it falls in your personal chart shows where this change will
occur.
SEPTEMBER 2008 OUTLOOK
Happy Birthday VIRGO and LIBRA
Natives!! As September begins with Labor Day Monday, we awake to unexpected
events. Stay in touch with others as relationships of every nature are in the
spotlight this month. Four planets - Mercury, Venus, Mars, and eventually the
Sun - spend time in Libra, the sign associated with marriage and one-on-one
connections. With all these planets in Libra you can bring harmony and
balance into your life though there are several important planetary shifts
empowering us to embark in new directions. Jupiter (the planet of good luck
and known as the 'greater benefic'), which has been moving in retrograde
motion since May 9, 2008, is turning direct in Capricorn on the 7th. Suddenly
you will begin to feel a sense of release as your goals come within reach. It
is now a time to go forward and implement new ideas for professional
advancement. All of your hard work over the last four months will begin to
pay off. Pluto follows in Jupiter's footsteps by going direct in Sagittarius
on the 8th.
These are the final days of
Pluto's transit of Sagittarius, a transit that won't occur again for another
267 years. During these final days of Pluto transiting through Sagittarius,
where it's been since October 1995, you may experience a final urge to
indulge in excess at the same time face some of the repercussions=2
0resulting from our overzealous behavior of the last few years. Once Pluto
takes residence in Capricorn in November, it will be time to transform the
way we take responsibility for our lives so that more security can be
created. :-) Remember: the words for Pluto are: transform, metamorphosis,
rebirth and new beginnings. Look for signs of these emerging energies during
the next several months as Pluto begins to open up all areas of your life.
You will begin to see you can accomplish your goals if you put the right
degree of effort into them. Mercury retrogrades in Libra on the 24th (lasting
until October 15). Throughout Mercury's retrograde we will feeling a pull
inward to reevaluate the important relationships in our lives. Are
relationships really progressing in the way that is fair for all concerned,
for us as well as the other person? Can we reach a new level of agreement? Is
there a way to make the path ahead smoother and more harmonious for all
involved?
This month's Full Moon occurs on
the 15th at 4:14pm at 22°54' Pisces. This is a time to focus on who you are
and what you truly want and to be true to those things. This month's New Moon
occurs in Libra on the 29th at 3:13am. A New Moon occurs when the Moon and
the Sun are in the same sign at the same degree. This is a time for
concentrated energies and new beginnings. The New Moon in Libra is a time to
create more balance, peace and harmony within you and with you r friends and
family!
AUGUST 2008 OUTLOOK
Happy Birthday LEO and VIRGO
Natives!! This month's Leo Sun is certainly dramatic right from the first day
of August. August 1 gives us a New Moon Solar Eclipse at 9º32' of Leo!! This
is the beginning of an exciting, sometimes challenging, year. While some
areas of your life are likely to stay very much the same, you will have to
deal with a rollercoaster ride if you are starting your own business or
waiting to collect money that is due you. Wherever 9º32' Leo falls in your
chart is the area of your life where you will focus for the next six months.
The Solar Eclipse in Leo brings with it the 'lesson of learning to give more
of ourselves in a generous way'. Over the next six months, we will all be
learning lessons that have to do with developing ego in more healthy ways.
(Leo is ego.) And, the path that we will be creating will be true to our
desires in a way that is not opposed by others.
Several other atmospheric shifts
will occur this month adding to the power of the Solar Eclipse. A Lunar
Eclipse occurs on the 16th at 24º21' Aquarius. Matters begun the week prior
to any eclipse generally do not work out as planned. This is because we
usually get information following the eclipse that we did not have during the
week prior to its occurrence. The lessons of learning detachment will be at
the forefront of our vision for the next six months. Your key to success lies
in a willingness to adjust your creative plans so that they fit in with the
bigger picture of what is going on as situations unfold. Mars in Virgo
opposing Uranus makes you feel a little impatient but it does give you the
energy to tackle tough tasks. Use this energy to make your goals more
practical and real. The push to take the initiative and act on making your
dreams come true is in full swing But, if you meet any resistance to your
actions, the best bet is to step back and see how what you want to create may
be at odds with others. On the 23rd, Mercury and Venus oppose Uranus. Social
dates and appointments are subject to sudden change. Be prepared to alter
your schedule. A bit of humor in your communications will get more laughs
than usual. Be innovative in presentations. From the 27th-29th Venus and
Pluto join the mix and communications, love and social matters can have
unexpected outcomes. There could possibly be manipulation and jealousy around
you. Be Aware!!
A New Moon occurs when the Moon
and the Sun are in the same sign at the same degree. This is a time for
concentrated energies and new beginnings. This month's first New Moon occurs
in the sign of LEO on August 1 at 10:14am. The New Moon in Leo is a time to
pause and improve your meditative insights. The Full Moon on the 16th is a Lunar
Eclipse. The Full Moon occurs at 9:11pm at 24 21 Aquarius. Both are exactly
opposite from each other. Slow down as thoughts don't coincide with aims
today. Appointments will change suddenly and communication disruptions are
likely. This month has two New Moons and the second New Moon is on the 30th
at 7º48' Virgo. Venus will be moving into fair-minded Libra on the 31st and
your view of the world will come into balance. The materials you needed to
move forward earlier in the month are there to help you build a secure
future. Go with Confidence!!
JULY 2008 OUTLOOK
Happy Birthday CANCER and LEO
Natives!! Four of the five outermost planets are retrograde this month. We
will now be reevaluating on a very deep level the true purpose fo our lives. Questions
of values will emerge as we redefine what is important to us and where we
next want to put our creative life energy. Jupiter is Retrograde in
Capricorn; Uranus is Retrograde in Pisces; Neptune is Retrograde in Aquarius,
and Pluto is Retrograde in Sagittarius. If any projects or relationships
become stalled, you can use this time to review, make revisions, refresh your
perspective or rethink your position.
Also, an important Mars transit begins July 1 when the red planet enters the
contellation of Virgo where Saturn already resides. Mars represents speed,
action, impulsiveness and dynamic energy. Saturn represents caution,
self-discipline and restraint. All of this means that we will have plenty of
discipline to work on our future plans, but we can also experience
frustration if we don't use this energy in specific, task-oriented ways. If
you are going in a direction that others oppose, this would be the time to
pull back, look at the big picture, and devise an approach that will not meet
with resistance or opposition. Venus and Mercury join the Sun in moving
through Cancer and oppose Jupiter in Capricorn at various times during the
month. As a result you'll want to spend time at home with family, while at
the same time go out into the world, expand your horizons and advance in your
profession.
Uranus began it's once-a-year
retrograde period on June 26th and will stay that wai until November 27th.
Uranus transits can bring about disruptions and instability as part of a
larger part of change and delivers new experiences and unusual events. It
also brings out an individual's need to express himself freely and experiment
in order to make positive changes in the world. You may experience a
rebellious need to replace things (or people) in your life that no longer fit
your view of the world. You'll feel the need to reexamine the changes that
have occurred as you look for reasons why certain things that seemed just
fine yesterday do not seem quite right today. You will become aware of new
ways of seeing and thinking about the world as images seem to bubble up from
your subconscious. Try to avoid breaking off relations with partners, both
business and personal. To make the most of this period, you want to bring
about life changes that will lead to personal growth and evolution as you
reassess your values, reflect on your intuition and explore your
inventiveness and creativity. Learn to recognize what is working in your life
and take steps to redefine your dreams, ambitions and aspirations.
A New Moon occurs when the Moon
and the Sun are in the same sign at the same degree - usually once a month.
It is a time of concentrated energies and new beginnings. This month's New
Moon is on July 2 at 7:19pm at 11°32' Cancer. The New Moon's message is to look
within for inspiration and plant the seeds now for what you want to happen in
your life. The Full Moon will bring what you ask for at the New Moon. The
Full Moon is on July 18 at 26 °24' Capricorn at 3:59am. The earthy Capricorn
Full Moon creates practical, disciplined energy in order for you to get
things done. :-) To find out how this month's planetary activity affects you
personally
JUNE 2008 OUTLOOK
The entire month of June is full
with the energy of confusion and illumination as our focus shifts from our
outer to our inner worlds. Mercury continues in retrograde motion until the
19th. Jupiter is moving in retrograde motion until Sept 7, 2008. Neptune is
retrograde until Nov 1, and Pluto is retrograde until Sept 8. The best way to
handle this uncertainty is to be willing to adapt to events as they unfold.
The beginning of a change such as this might well be learning to express
yourself in a better way. As the way we approach others slowly changes, the
results we experience shift accordingly, and ultimately become more
satisfying.
With four (4!) planets moving
retrograde this month, let's discuss what all this means. Retrograde periods
occur when planets appear to be moving backward in the sky as seen from
Earth, even though in reality they're moving forward in their regular orbital
patterns around the Sun When a planet is retrograde circumstances, events and
issues in your life can be difficult at times, because you're forced to go
back over matters that have already been covered. However, during this period
you may begin to discern information from a different viewpoint, perceiving
new patterns of thought and reality and processing them at first
unconsciously, then consciously. Thus, you begin to understand that
established issues and matters can be viewed in many ways, and you begin to
feel it necessary to make decisions about what is best for you in the here
and now. What emerges from this reassessment is an altered and more creative
perception of your world as you fix what is broken and get in touch with your
inner self. Mercury in Gemini adds lightness to the atmosphere and makes
friendships happier and secure.
Neptune is one of the planets
going Retrograde. It remains in each sign about 14 years and is retrograde
5-6 months each year. Neptune symbolizes idealism, mysticism and inspiration.
It represents your capacity to envision the future. Illusions are swept away
and replaced by new. This can bring about some confusion and temporarily
decrease your ability to make good judgments. However, this is a good time to
turn to expressions of artistic creativity, to pursue opportunities to help
others, to explore spiritual matters without judgment or criticism.
The Full Moon occurs on the 18th
at 10:30am at 27°50'Sagittarius. This Full Moon occurs in the midst of some
unusual atmosphere as it gives us an opportunity to align more closely with
our personal navitation system. The New Moon occurs on the 3rd at 12:23pm at
13°34' Gemini. A New Moon begins a whole new cycle for you and will affect
the area of your life where this New Moon energy lands in your personal
chart. (One little sidenote: Uranus begins to move retrograde on June
27-November 27. Stick with the tried and true through June.
MAY 2008 OUTLOOK
Happy Birthday Taurus and
Gemini natives!! The big news this month is that Mercury travels
through Gemini, the sign of the twins, from May 2 to July 10, 2008.
Creativity and expression of your true self reigns!! You’ll feel an
irrepressible urge to express your feelings, observations, and opinions
through speaking, teaching others, and learning from them. You’ll be in the
mood to be more sociable and seek new opportunities for diversion, and you’ll
feel a greater need than usual for mental stimulation. Mercury turns
retrograde from May 26 to June 19 in the sign that it rules (Gemini).
(Remember, the planet doesn’t actually GO backward, it just slows its’ motion
and Earth moves faster than Mercury so it looks like it’s moving in
reverse!!). You’ll probably experience the typical events that occur with the
planet of communication traveling in reverse motion. These include
misunderstandings among you and others; checks and packages being delivered
late or to the wrong address; appointments being missed because of
misinformation or car trouble; and, computer foul-ups or breakdowns. On the
plus side, if you attempt to do anything at which you’ve failed previously,
you now have a greater chance of success, as the second or third time is the
charm. You could find yourself bumping into someone you haven’t seen in a
while, or finding things you thought were lost.
While we are talking about
retrograde planets, Saturn is moving retrograde in Virgo and Pluto is
retrograde in Capricorn. Saturn starts moving direct on May 3rd while Pluto
continues it’s retrograde motion all month. Jupiter begins to go retrograde
on the 9th of May and Neptune goes retrograde on the 26th. Whew! Sounds like
a busy month, doesn’t it!!??!! Well, many events in your life will evolve very
slowly. Use this time to review work you have done, rethink your position on
certain beliefs, refine your attitude about certain issues, and think about
the image you project to the world and fine-tune your approach in dealings
with others. :-) This is the time to RE-DO YOU!! A helpful aspect linking
Jupiter and Uranus improves your life as you see opportunities to use your
talents by the 21st. You will feel drawn to people or ideas that challenge
you to improve. Fortunately, you will be able to easily understand them. If
you become impatient with the restrictions under which you live, look for
openings you can use to your advantage.
The New Moon occurs on the 5th at
7:19am at 15° 22’ Taurus and indicates real estate issues are on your mind or
you may want to open a savings account. The Full Moon occurs on the 19th at
9:12pm at 29° 27’ Scorpio. You find that your needs clash with the needs of
others as you discover you are stronger than you realize.
APRIL 2008 OUTLOOK
The big news this month happens on
April 2nd with Pluto, the planet of extremes, turning retrograde at 1°
Capricorn. Pluto stays retrograde until September 9, 2008. Pluto signifies
our perspective on the world our conscious and subconscious. Since so many of
Pluto’s qualities are centered on the deeper mysteries of life, the house
position of Pluto in your own personal chart, and aspects to it, can show you
how to attain a deeper understanding of the importance of your spiritual
life. On another level, you can experience a ‘death’ of your old self when
you realize the deeper significance of your life. This is the time to get rid
of anything that is preventing you from becoming your best self. In the
process will find yourself cleaning out closets, getting rid of old shoes, old
clothes, pictures and things that were once an important part of you . You
may even be ‘cleaning out’ your friendship closet. You may realize that
certain people who were once a very important part of your life have suddenly
disappeared, or that you have nothing in common with them. This process is
very necessary as you create an emptiness and a void. Keep in mind as you are
throwing out all that old ‘stuff’ that the Universe does NOT like a void, so
you will quickly fill it with something new. Thus, the New You begins to come
into being!! This is a very exciting time for all of us!!
More exciting news comes to us
with the discovery and acknowledgement of a new planet - ERIS! Even though
termed a "dwarf planet" along with Pluto, Eris was discovered in
2005 from plates going back to 2003, and originally nicknamed Xena. Eris is
the only planet-type object that was temporarily named for a television drama
heroine. This planet, well beyond Pluto, has a period of 556 years and was
discovered as it traveled through the constellation of Aries. Eris’ discovery
increases the size of the solar system to double the original diameter. It is
too early to make a definitive statement regarding all the meanings of this
new planet but some preliminary qualities attributed to Eris are those that
represent her mythological character. She is one who struggles against
injustice and oppression. She has her war-like and even blood-thirsty side,
with the higher manifestation of defending the weak and standing up for oneself.
Her placement and aspects to other planets correlate to the underdog warrior,
speaking truth to power, and with also a willingness to resort to whatever
means necessary to achieve her goals. It will be interesting to see how this
new planet will show herself to us earthlings. Only time and research will
tell. :-) This month’s Full Moon takes place on the 20th at 6:25am EST and
occurs at 0 °43’ Scorpio. The New moon occurs on the 5th at 16 °44’ Aries at
11:56pm. The New Moon starts a whole new cycle for you and will affect the
area of your life where this New Moon energy lands in your personal
Astrological Chart.
MARCH 2008 OUTLOOK
Happy Birthday PISCES and ARIES Natives!!
They say March comes in like a
lion and out like a lamb. How can that be true? After all, surprising Uranus
electrifies lucky Jupiter through the month. Expect a series of growingly
good opportunities throughout the month. March forth!! After Mars enters
Cancer on the 4th of March, it will remain there until the 9th of May. During
this time you will have the tenacity, intuition, and sense of timing to
successfully make the most cherished dreams into exciting realities. You’ll
be inclined to examine your roots and traditions, a process which will help
you discover more about your life direction. Please listen to your intuition
as Mars in Cancer gives you the tools you will need to protect yourself from
situations that you find uncomfortable. Energy and decisiveness are enhanced,
but at the same time you may be hindered by moodiness, vulnerability and
fears. The best way to avoid problems is to be sensitive to the needs and
feelings of people around you. You may have trouble sleeping at mid-month as
you become disillusioned by someone else’s actions. This is a time to be good
to your body. Treat yourself to a relaxing massage or herbal bath. Eventually
you will have the urge to get things done and move forward. By the end of the
month you will have the clarity you need to make decisions and take action.
Enjoy!! :-)
Be on the lookout for opportunities
to improve yourself all month. Jupiter and Uranus are in a nice aspect to
each other, indicating an opportunity to effect positive changes, but only if
you make an effort. Friends are your biggest boosters. So don’t sit at home
and wait for the phone to ring. Go through your personal date book and start
to connect and reconnect. Get involved in group efforts. Not only will you
rise to the top, you will go further in your personal goals than you ever
imagined. If you make an effort, you may get something you’ve been wanting.
Mercury, Venus and Neptune begin
the month in Aquarius. Venus arrives in Pisces on the 12th and Mercury joins
Venus in Pisces on the 14th. Our thoughts and choices will be influenced by
imagination, sympathy and intuitions. You may be able to strengthen family
ties and influence people by being a caring listener. A sudden insight helps
you understand a complicated person or situation!!
The New Moon occurs on the 7th at
12:15pm at 17°31 Pisces. A New Moon occurs when the Moon and the Sun are in
the same sign at the same degree. It is a time of concentrated energies and
new beginnings. The Full Moon occurs on the 21st at 1:40pm at 1°31 Libra.
Whatever issues are on your mind, this Full Moon will give you the
opportunity to air your thoughts and resolve matters in a reasonable way.
FEBRUARY 2008 OUTLOOK
Happy Birthday AQUARIUS and PISCES Natives!!
There are several special events
taking place in our sky this month. First, this is a Leap Year so February
has 29 days!! Venus, Jupiter and Pluto are in Capricorn so you can polish
your image as you prepare the way to be more innovative than you have been in
the past. Mercury adds its’ communicative energies to your preparatory
endeavors as it continues its’ retrograde movement until the 18th when it
turns direct in Aquarius. Thus, use the first three weeks of the month to
research and review anything new and innovative. You may find you want to
spend more time alone or find your mind wandering as you review all aspects
of your life: your friendships, your family, your career, your communication
style, your goals. This is a process that makes you more aware of how you
present yourself to others. This is a time of renewal, hard work and activity.
Keep in mind that you will NOT be bored this month as your own mind will busy
enough to keep you entertained and far from bored !! :-)
This month’s New Moon occurs on the
6th at 10:44pm and is a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius at 17º44’. The Solar
Eclipse pinpoints an area of your life that needs attention. It may foretell
a special event (I got married close to an Eclipse in September 2005!), a
beginning or an ending. The Full Moon is on the 20th and is a Total Lunar
Eclipse in Virgo at 1º53’. This Lunar Eclipse is very powerful as it brings
forth emotional issues that have yet to be resolved. It will expose
weaknesses, vulnerability, and illness. Confusion, chaos, and uncertainty
will be prevalent as we all are forced to take stock of our current situation
and eliminate what is not good for us. The uncovering of what was hidden from
view, previously avoided, or overworked may lead to an enlightening reality
check. What is lost must be forgotten. The void that we create will make way
for the new!! Like all eclipses, these eclipses act as accelerators. Expect
all experiences you have this month to be highly charged and be prepared for
everything you do to be in fast-forward motion.
Keep in mind though that ventures
begun now may not yield returns to be as fast as you want, but opportunities
and final results will come for people who use this time to prepare and are
resourceful. The best way for you to succeed is to be patient and let things
develop slowly, because what lives on will be made better - much better as
your awareness is heightened and you make the most of every opening you can
find!! :-)
JANUARY 2008 OUTLOOK
Happy Birthday CAPRICORN and AQUARIUS Natives!!
Welcome to a whole new era!! On
January 25, 2008, Pluto, the planet of power and transformation, moves into
Capricorn for a sixteen-year visit. As Pluto travels through its eccentric
orbit, major changes can be expected to take place in society and the
individual, for better or worse. Pluto energy is one that cuts ties with the
past and urges us to move on to new endeavors. We begin to eliminate things
and people that are no longer useful or slowing our growth. A Pluto transit
often destroys a relationship, belief or some set of circumstances in order
to allow something better to take its place. Jupiter, the planet of expansion
and good luck, is also in Capricorn, ready to support any effort you make to
improve your life!! :-)
Mars is still going retrograde
until January 30th as it moves through the constellations of Cancer and then
back into Gemini. Mars moving retrograde gives us the opportunity to
reconsider what we want in our lives. It is best to turn inward to see where
you really want to invest your energy. This period is useful for planning so
wait before you start a new job, buy a new car or get married. When Mars
turns direct on January 30th you will then better prepared to move forward
with a clearer head and answers to some of your most pressing concerns.
Mercury begins to go retrograde on January 28th as it travels through
Aquarius. You begin this three week period expressing your feelings to a
friend or a partner and receiving positive support and feedback. You cook up
lively ways to enjoy companionship by inviting those who are close to you to
spend some cold winter nights by the fire, make some warm comfort food, have
a pajama party and talk, talk, talk!!!
The New Moon occurs on the 8th at
6:37am at 17°33 Capricorn. Each New Moon day is a Power Day when atmospheric
energies will magically boost your plans to bring your wishes to fulfillment
- usually by the Full Moon. Plant the seeds now for future professional
growth. Ambitions, goals, and public agendas benefit from organization and
focus. The Full Moon is on the 22nd at 8:36am at 1°54 Leo. This Full Moon is
a blend of Leo (moon)/ Aquarius(sun) energy and gives us the need to
understand our social roles better. There is an emphasis on improving
communications and a search for natural harmony amongst friends and family.
Any stress is due to complex conditions beyond your understanding so just
relax and keep physical activities simple.
