This New Moon
in Aquarius marks the start of the ancient Chinese calendar. Today we begin the
Year of the Wooden Horse. The horse represents the traits of energetic, bright,
warm-hearted, intelligent and able individuals. The element of wood brings a
level of stability for most of the animal signs of Chinese Astrology.
The sign of Aquarius,
the water bearer urges us to broaden our horizons and nourish our minds with innovative
new ideas. Aquarius idealism frees our grips and restrains thus allowing us to
think from a more unified perspective. Ride the waves of inspiration and do something
in the name of humanity today. Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius is sextile to this
lunation further encouraging a unified and idealistic sense of community.
January 31,
Venus turns station direct in staunch Capricorn after a relatively bumpy retrograde
period. Any damage that has taken place within relationships must be rebuilt
one brick at a time in the weeks and months to come. This requires a great deal
of patience. Little by little decisions and the path forward become clearer. In
addition today, Mercury floats into the misty territory of Pisces. This creates
a fuzzy effect on expression and energizes our imaginations. Cerebral Mercury's
move into poetic Pisces blurs words with feelings, sensitizes conversations and
fuels imagination. It's a good time to read between the lines and notice
nuances of tone and body language to understand subtle messages. Compassion
softens discussions with tenderness to dissolve barriers, however, staying
focused on facts can be challenging, especially when Mercury is retrograde on
February 6-28. Also occurring today is the second of a series of Jupiter-Pluto squares.
The first occurred August 7, 2013. Many things are slipping away as Pluto
always demands the release of that which does not serve the highest good. Mark your
calendar for April 20, 2014; as this is the third and final of this series.
Mercury begins
his first retrograde cycle of the year February 6 in the sign of Pisces. This back-peddling
of the communication planet, is an opportunity to retreat into creative
meditation. Take care to not slip into paranoid despair. I am here for council
and guidance, so be sure to contact me for an appointment.
On February
12, midway through the reversal, Mercury revisits Aquarius. This is the perfect
time to present new ideas to groups and organizations. After this point, wait
patiently until the 28th to place the idea into action.
The Full Moon
February 14, in outgoing Leo inspires a flourish of expressive ideas to explode
into existence. The only things possibly holding you back is a steady square by
strict Saturn in Scorpio. This can easily cause self-loathing and dampen your
desire to mingle. It is best to stay in and keep a low profile.
The Sun drifts
into Pisces February 18, beckoning
us to take a month-long sojourn into our inner complexities. This introspective
time is perfect to begin a meditation practice or deepen an existing one. Come
to me for guidance and instruction. This infuses our ability to see into the
psychic realm as well.
Mercury turns
direct in Aquarius, February 28. His slow motion forward begins to unravel the
recent muddled mess made of communications within groups and the function of electronics.
As he picks up speed in the weeks to come, all of these begin to magically move
back into place.
I invite you
to read on for my predictions for the 12 signs.
Aries March
19/20 to April 20/21
Your career
is about to take a bold step forward. Watch as new opportunities bubble to the
surface like rainbow colored soap bubbles. These colorful choices are carried
to you through friends and groups. This feeds unpredictable behavior and fans
the flames of excitement. A cloud of confusion follows close on the tail of
this enthusiasm as old issues resurface with the visit of a former lover,
spouse or old friend. By night strange dreams speak to you from your depths of consciousness.
Refrain from all travel as it is better to stay home and sort through all of
this bit by bit. Use your energy to refocus on your work and watch as you gain
the support you deserve.
Taurus April
20/21 to May 21/22
Take extra
care with all of your work related communications. Keep a close watch on your
calendar and commitments. The possibility you are about to make a grave mistake
is at large. Stand in front of a mirror and gaze into your own eyes as you give
yourself a good talking to. Keep yourself out of trouble. I suggest enrolling
in a course or seminar to focus the mind. If your plans involve leaving your
homeland on a journey, there is a good chance love is about to knock at the
door of your heart. If work is your current passion, you are about to create
you next great pitch. The timing is perfect to instill a steady health and
exercise regime. Be sure you have extra free time toward the end of the month,
your family needs you.
Gemini May 21/22 to June 21/22
Your recent career strategies are slipping and sloshing
around in confusion. Do not; under any circumstance begin anything new at this
time. You need every drop of energy to focus on the current tasks. Be sure to create
better backups of your current work and ideas. Do all you can to remain
positive and know that anything appearing jumbled is soon to straighten out. If
in a traditional job, a much deserved bonus or raise is sure to come through.
Accept all good things with gratitude and humble appreciation. Any legal or
binding agreement at hand is coming through in your favor. All of this affirmative
energy floods into your personal life as well. Give thanks.
Cancer June 22/23 to July 22/23
You are experiencing heightened intuition and increased
imagination. This encourages you to take up your favorite creative tools. In
turn you are able to watch as you produce your next great masterpiece. New
contracts are imminent and encourage you to run at optimum. Take good care of
your health to maintain the necessary energy level needed. Spread out and express
yourself in all outlets including: written word, visual art and music. Capture
all of the communication coming in from your muse. Be sure to keep excellent
records of all of these new conceptions. This also supercharges your personal relationships
which are strengthening at every level. Take advantage of this at work and
home. You are on a much deserved upswing.
Leo July 22/23 to August 23/24
The environment at work continues to become much more
conductive. New ways of organizing and presenting your unique goods and
services come to you in times of quiet contemplation so be sure to remove
yourself and create space. This helps to lift the constraints of recent
struggle. Though others come to you for guidance and solutions it is important
to stay focused on your own primary needs. Be sure to finalize all current
deals and wait until next month to take on any new financial commitments. This
is due to the continuation of your current challenges. The lesson here is to
learn about the effect of your words and thoughts on your life. Pull yourself
together and make permanent changes. An irresistible physical encounter eases
the stress level temporarily. When the fog clears away it is time to clean up yourself
and your act.
Virgo August 23/24 to September 23/24
Time to completely revamp your financial system; this is
due to your judgment being on point at this time. You are now able to set up a
long-range and long-lasting plan that takes you far into the future. Your
recent desire to thin out your worldly possessions is a great way to lighten up
and this is necessary pruning in turns allows abundant growth in the near
future. Those of you seeking new jobs are in luck and bound to land a perfect
choice after sorting through the many promising prospects. If spiritual
progression is your desire, a great teacher is coming to you. Be sure to catch
the signs and follow. Enjoy the way everything is progressing smooth as silk.
Libra September 23/24 to October 23/24
Your health is steadily improving. It is important to
keep your focus on your new positive habits. All matters of the heart are
stabilizing. Opportunities are seeking you out in the relationship sector. It
is your choice as to whether you want to follow them. The work you are doing to
create financial security requires steady attention. Likewise family
connections and commitments ask for equal devotion. As everything begins to
lighten up and your finances begin to find their way back into the black, you
may need to create an extra boost with some side work. Take advantage of this
and get busy. It is important in order for you to get back on track.
Scorpio October 23/24 to November 22/23
The unconscious mind is working overtime in preparation for
the incredible year ahead. The best way to support this proprietary process is
to practice stillness and even better yet go on a retreat. This rejuvenatory
respite helps you to store up the necessary energy needed for the great
creative output and romance just ahead. You continue to mature in your ideas
and communications. Trust all new associates and in turn become a great leader.
Continue forward with patience while keeping focused on your work. All of this
is all greatly paying off and very soon you are going to reap the fruits of
your efforts.
Sagittarius November 22/23 to December
21/22
Do all you can to visualize your propensity
for earning. This gives forth abundant prosperity. Overspending and added stressors
are detrimental to your health. Curb your appetites as you cannot push beyond
your means at this time. Take care not to identify with what you believe are
lesser wages but rather find gratitude in all plusses. Exercise patience and
take care to save and conserve when encountering windfalls. Loved ones misinterpret
your expressions and reactions. This complicates communication and puts added
strain on you. Rather than fretting in paranoia, invest your energy in learning
opportunities and low-key inexpensive travel.
Capricorn December 21/22 to January
20/21
All new projects move in a positive
direction including infatuation and new love. You experience a great influx of
awareness regarding your spiritual connection. This helps those of you making
career moves and gives a much needed boost. The key to making wise choices is
to be sure that they feel as good as they seem on paper. Though this may sound
odd, it is a way to step out of the way of your mind so as to not sabotage this
potential good fortune. Take extra care with your wardrobe and appearance as
both integrally contribute to the future of your success.
Aquarius January 20/21 to February
18/19
Happiness and prosperity abound and
lead you to a new peak of potential bliss. This good vibration is here to stay
for several months, so be sure to take full advantage of it. Keep a vigilant watch
on your health and make impeccable choices. The flames of your new-felt inspiration
push you harder than what you have been experiencing recently. This quite possibly
is more than you can handle at this time. Therefore, be sure to heed all early
warning signs and symptoms. Take rest and retreat when needed.
Pisces February 18/19 to March 19/20
Dive into your creative cave and into
the depths of your psyche. There is no use trying to push against time. Give
into your desire to create and dream. Allow your new ideas and inspirations to
mellow and mature. Now is a great time to manifest your new rules and
boundaries and to set new standards. A great breakthrough is just around the
corner. Those of you seeking change or new employment must allow it to find
you. When it does, this is the start of a positive and very long lasting situation.
