January 2007 Forecast

Key Events:  

Full Moon 1/3/2007

New Moon 1/18/2007

Along similar lines, your Solar Opposition will occur this month on roughly the same day as your date of your birth.  This is also an annual event and usually has an impact of some sort, sometimes good and sometimes not so good.  It usually will also bring attention to you in some way though in some cases you may be prone to be a bit distracted and prone to mishaps and accidents, so don't get too wrapped up in what's going on and lose track of where you are and what you're doing.  Stick to your routine as much as possible, get some extra rest if possible and don't get too lost in your emotions or overreact to insignificant events.

The New Moon is on the 18th and occurs in Capricorn, your Natural 7th House of relationships, which includes both the personal kind and business partnerships.  This lunation will have a noticeable effect on those whose birthdays fall between July 15-26 with those born on July 20 feeling it the strongest.  This is likely to start a new phase of some sort, which was probably initiated by that stellium that started out the month there, i.e. the Sun, Mercury and Venus.  The Sun will draw attention to this area of your life, Mercury will assist in any conversations or other communications relative to it, and we all know that Venus is the Goddess of Love and will likely leave a few good vibes in her wake as well.  Bottom line, things look very favorable for you in this area this month, so all that emotion being stirred up by the Moon is likely to find a positive outlet.  Be aware, however, that Mars enters this same neighborhood on the day before the New Moon, which could conceivably cause an argument or disagreement of some sort.  Venus will be long-gone by then, but hopefully any discord will be short-lived.

The second half of the month that stellium moves into Aquarius, which is your Natural 8th House which governs intimate relationships, death & regeneration and shared resources.  The could result in further deepening of a romantic relationship or introduce a new issue such as an inheritance or investment opportunity.  You may have to justify your position on something in this area or compromise in some way, but it should ultimately have good results.

Saturn is still retrograde in your Natural 2nd house which covers your possessions and pleasurable pursuits.  Saturn retrograde normally causes significant ruminations on the subconscious level relative to some element related to its house placement.  If you're trying to buy something major, such as a car or house, this will possibly slow it down.  If you find that you have these unexplainable reservations, it will be Saturn grinding away at something just below your radar.  This will continue for quite a while, probably until around April 20 at which time you'll finally figure out what it is.  After that you'll be able to move forward and have your plan together if not implemented sometime just after your birthday.

Your work situation is likely to be expanding in some way.  Perhaps your responsibilities are increasing or your usual workload has increased significantly.  If this is the case, you can blame it on Jupiter, who will be affecting this area of your life for quite a while, but not necessarily in a bad way.  Jupiter is usually what's considered a benefic or even downright lucky planet.  On the darker side, however, and in this same neighborhood, Pluto has been lurking in the shadows for a long time now.  Pluto transits are usually about as pleasant as a root canal.  If you just can't seem to get comfortable with your job, or perhaps you're struggling with health and fitness, then you can blame that on the god of the Underworld.  Pluto is the astrological Lord of the Sith so if you have a boss whom you've long suspected was Darth Vader incarnate, then this is why.  Pluto exhumes all sorts of things, but on the positive side it cleans out old wounds, gets them into the light of day and ultimately helps them to heal.  If you have work-related issues, this will help to sort it out and when all is said and done you should be on the way toward more satisfying work.  Just pay attention to what it's telling you and have the courage to do what's necessary to get on the right track.

This should be an interesting and most likely significant month for you as you launch into a new year.  The main thing you need to do is keep a grip on those strong, Cancerian emotions.  Enjoy the good, trust the future and move forward with confidence.
