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.
