January 2009

Aries (Mar 21-April 20):  As January begins Saturn the karmic task master is retrograde in the sign of Virgo.  Retrogrades bring opportunities for review.  The reality is, we get 3 chances at the big karmic lessons that Saturn teaches.  The 1^st, when the planet has it's first pass, the 2^nd when the planet retrogrades and the 3^rd when the planet goes direct again, for a third pass. How the 2^nd and 3^rd affect you is dependent on how much you resist the energy.  Typically a retrograde asks us to release or let go of an action, habit, idea or behavior.  The more unwilling we are to submit, the more difficult the transit will be. In your solar 6^th house of health, diet, cleanliness, and fastidiousness at times you could be so nit picky that it drives everyone around you crazy.  Saturn's lesson is to learn to organize and prioritize.  Figure out what's most important to you and figure out how to get it all done in a day that seems to be getting shorter and shorter! 

Since the newly elected president Barack Obama was elected when Saturn was at 19* Virgo, he's going to have to try to do the impossible and keep his promises, when a million other things try to take up his attention or he will come under severe criticism when Saturn resumes direct motion. Since the Israeli war with the Palestinians began just before Saturn's retrograde this suggests it will continue through January and then again when Saturn approaches 21* Virgo again near the eclipses in August 

The planets Mars, Mercury and Venus have all changed signs and now the challenges begin. This month calls for hard work, yes harder than you were working before!  Mercury ruler of your 3^rd house of communications and comings and goings enters Aquarius your solar 11^th house you'll be asked to do the impossible in the time given, so you may find yourself burning the midnight oil!

Venus the planet of love ruler of your 7^th house of relationships and marriage enters Pisces your solar 12^th house of secret sorrows and giving and doing too much, by months end if you give too much you'll end up feeling used. So again you have to think to yourself what's most important and make a list.

Jupiter the planet of luck and expansion enters the unique and exciting sign of Aquarius your solar 11^th house of friends, in-laws, mentors, profits from your career or business, suggests there could be lots of added benefits to your career and that your reputation is reaching more people than ever, you are starting to make a name for yourself.  Still pining after that ex, he/she could come back to you!  Your social life will take off too! Jupiter will join Chiron and Neptune already in the sign of Aquarius, on a personal and romantic level we will rebel against anyone using evasive behavior where you have to read between the lines and innuendos which keep you longing for the possibility of and hope of something down the line.  Subtle hints, innuendos, implied promises and clandestine messages play on that part of your brain we are not used to using, causing a reaction of the nuclear type, when continual disappointment results.

The Full Moon at 21* Cancer occurs in your solar 4^th house of property, family self reliance, beginnings and endings.  If you are feeling overwhelmed from work, and home responsibilities this Full Moon could bring out the beast in you, especially if someone keeps promising to help and doesn't.   Mercury goes retrograde at 7* Aquarius until January 31^st when it resumes direct motion at 21* Capricorn, where it was last on December 26^th, 2008. Typically Mercury retrogrades aren't a good time to start new ventures, relationships or sign contracts and make commitments.  In your solar 11^th and 10^th houses, it's back to the drawing table when you though you had something all tied up and packaged!

The Sun enters Aquarius just in time for the US Presidential Inauguration of Barack Obama, ushering a fast paced time of change with hopefulness and hopefully no disappointments. The Sun will transit your solar 11^th house of helpful people and friends making this a great time for involvement and socializing as you could meet people who could be important to your future.

 There's a New Moon eclipse at 6* Aquarius a Solar Eclipse PT and the Chinese will celebrate The Chinese New Year, "Year of the OX". Hard work leading to success is the theme of the Year of the OX!  The New Moon eclipse occurs in your solar 11^th house of hopes and wishes, giving you the fortitude to see things though even when there are small delays.  Mercury retrograde conjoins Mars in Capricorn, and these two planets have been transiting side by side like little soldiers for about the last year!  Their influence is felt in tele-communications, weather and electrical mishaps or outages. This could infer that a 3-4 day outage in one of these areas is possible.  In your solar 10^th house of career you are on pins and needles waiting for a decision!  As the month ends Mercury goes direct in Capricorn.
