Cancer: (Jun. 22-Jul. 23): 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 1st, when the planet has its first pass, the 2nd when the planet retrogrades and the 3rd when the planet goes direct again, for a third pass. How the 2nd and 3rd 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 3rd house of thinking and communications not finding the right words or making mistakes in spelling and grammar that others are quick to notice can be an obstacle you need t work on. The more severe challenges like contracts, agreements and just putting your foot in your mouth will be the long range challenges that you get to work on.
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 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.
Mercury ruler of your 12th house which suggests that you shouldn't tell others your ideas or you risk having them taken, enters Aquarius your solar 8th house of sharing so deciding what's yours, what's ours, and what belongs to someone else could be an issue. A trip could come up that just might include a secret lover! Venus the planet of love ruler of your 4th house of emotions enters your solar Pisces 9th house of new experiences suggesting further that you could travel for love, money or both! Contracts and agreements over property could come up too.
Jupiter the planet of luck and expansion enters the unique and exciting sign of Aquarius your solar 8th house of joint assets, love affairs, intimacy, sharing, healing and purging yourself of old outworn ideas and people who are more stuck on you than you them! You could benefit from other's money this year!
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. A real healing and release can take place this year for your Sun sign. The Full Moon at 21* Cancer occurs in your solar 1st house of self assertion and a build up of emotions could cause an outburst in public! Too much of the wrong kind of attention could have you feeling hemmed in.
Mercury goes retrograde at 7* Aquarius until January 31st when it resumes direct motion at 21* Capricorn, where it was last on December 26th, 2008, in your solar 8th and 7th houses suggesting relationships and decision about who stays and who has to go. Further this suggests to be very careful with agreements as disputes are likely. Typically Mercury retrogrades aren't a good time to start new ventures, relationships, sign contracts and make commitments. The Sun enters Aquarius just in time for the US Presidential Inauguration of Barack Obama. The Sun will transit your solar 8th house of inheritances, other people's money and your mate of partner's financial condition. 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! This occurs in your solar 8th house of your partnership assets this going to be a new direction for you. The possibility of joining forces with someone and collaborate!
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 7th house of relationships and marriage serious discussions over business, marriage or partnerships could take days to unwind. As the month ends Mercury goes direct in Capricorn.
