Lunations and Long-term Aspects

The New Moon on January 4 is also a Solar Eclipse, which gives it significantly more energy.  It occurs in Capricorn, your 11th House of friends, groups, organizations, goals, hopes and wishes where it is being escorted by Mars, Pluto and the North Lunar Node which imply taking action on something which may required resolving something from your past before something new can manifest.  This eclipse is a member of the 13 North family of the Saros Series which generically relates to major group projects which require a separation or break from an existing tie prior to completion; the meaning is similar for individuals in that a break or separation can lead to a successful group endeavor.  This all ties in very well with the fact it occurs in your 11th House of groups.  If your birthday is within a day of March 4 this will bring an opportunity your way so be on the lookout for it.  This may be easier said than done, however, which a lot of effort or major change in your personal outlook required before you can make any headway.  If your beliefs and expectations have been delusional or not based on reality, challenges will arise.  Significant personal change, however, which relates to your beliefs or possibly even a relocation, will have a beneficial outcome.

The first three and a half weeks of this month all of the planets are moving forward, making it a very favorable time to get something done while all their respective energies are being expressed in a direct manner rather than being internalized.  On January 26 when Saturn goes retrograde your ability to move forward unencumbered will be greatly compromised with delays, bureaucratic hassles, or other obstacles.  With Saturn transiting your 8th House of transformations, sex, death and regeneration, debt and shared resources, it is very possible that you need to pay attention to something in this part of your life which requires attention. 

When Saturn goes retrograde he stirs up your subconscious with regard to something that needs to be restructured.  During this time, depending on the seriousness of the issue, you may experience a tired, heavy or gloomy feeling without knowing why.  When Saturn goes direct in June you will figure out what it is and then set forth to rectify or rebuild whatever needs to be done, which should be completed by the time Saturn arrives at the degree where he went retrograde.  If you ignore it and don't take action, then the Universe will continue to nag you until you do.  Some transits can be quite grueling when you have something you need to work on whereas if everything in that part of your life is in order, then it may be barely noticeable, as if you have immunity because you've already learned that particular lesson.  Bear in mind that such things are usually holding us back in some way and are well worth rectifying.

The Full Moon on January 19th is in fellow Water Sign, Cancer, your 5th House of creative expression, ego, children, romance, entertainment and speculation, implying an ending or culmination with regard to something in this part of your life.  Of course an ending also implies a new beginning as a new cycle gets underway.  Some unexpected but beneficial events are likely, though a change of course may be required before you can do so, especially if you've been undermining yourself in any way.  Also be on the lookout for any hidden enemies who could also be causing you to stumble.  This entire month and into the next are favorable for presenting yourself in public where you'll be well-received and viewed in a favorable light.  Put that to good use anyway you can.
