Mars goes direct tomorrow, after its’ long weeks of retrograde. Heading back towards the third and final opposition to Pluto, at the beginning of March. Pluto dipping its’ toes in Capricorn for the first time in 250 years on the 26th. It will move in and out of that sign, until finally it is well and truly ensconced, by years end, and will remain until 2024. Are you set for the long haul? The rebuilding, is about to begin, after an initial burst of destruction. Remember always, the old must crumble to make way for the new. Moving forward is the only option and resistance is futile. Uranus, as it moves into Aries, in 2011, will be working closely with Pluto, although because of the square aspect, will create a necessary havoc. All set to remodel and reshape our society as we move forward, in an evolution, that takes us more into the Heart, and away from our dominating, controlling natures. Neptune moving into Pisces at the same time, marks 2011/2012 as a very pivotal point on the Planet. The stage was set, for this current drama during the mid sixties, when Uranus and Pluto were conjunct in Virgo. A striving for enlightenment, and strong protesting of the senseless wars, generated by the greed machine, reminiscent of our current scenario. Perhaps now, we have the tools and the self-discipline to work towards the perfection, that was sought then. Pisces brings a sense of true spirituality and deep empathy and the recognition of oneness. It’s time to give peace a chance.
NEW MOON 17 Aquarius 44 February 07, 2008 11:46 a.m.
ARIES : The easing of the Mar’s retrograde, brings a sense of relief for you. Things begin, to move forward once more and projects which have been on hold for so long, finally start rolling again. You are however, still in the midst of the transformational process which is seeing a great many changes taking place, within and possibly without. Getting ready to move house, location and lifestyle for many, is high on the list of happenings this fortnight. Remember to discard, that which no longer serves you. Pass it on, to others who could make good use, of what’s sitting in your closet.
TAURUS : Venus has just connected to Pluto and moved along into Capricorn, for a stint of serious and no-nonsense relating. Perhaps it is time to make some commitment in your life. What do you need to do, to bring a little more self-discipline into your daily expression? Is it in the area of relationship, work, exercise, diet or some other arena, that requires more determination and effort, for more positive results?
Getting started or altering your course, is the biggest challenge, which once embarked upon, eases tremendously.
GEMINI : Mercury is retrograde for the next couple of weeks, bringing with it, as always, a fair amount of confusion and mixed messages. Do your best to keep yours clear and as unambiguous as possible. In the sign of Aquarius, it is a wonderful time to introduce some new ideas into your life, and broaden your perspective on a number of topics. Experimentation, is another key exercise, which could see you trying out some innovative new modes of operation. Technology is also under this umbrella. In a nutshell, get up to date and educated.
CANCER : It is an eclipse month, and with that, you will be feeling deeply and precisely. The Solar in Aquarius and the Lunar in Virgo. Both extremely mental signs, hankering for more information, more service, more community and basically more practical technology. This is the month to re-invent yourself, your life, and to get started on those projects which will benefit everyone. Not just your own purse or pocket. A great time to extend your nurturing capacity to include a larger circle of family.
LEO : The Sun is giving you the chance to illuminate your shadow side, while it hangs out in Aquarius. Let the ego take a back seat, or conversely use it to gather the necessary tools, to be about your life’s purpose. Allow yourself to be receptive, for the divinely inspired guidance, on the nature of it, and then boldly step forward and begin. However small the step, make one in the direction of your dreams. This is the time to promote yourself and your natural talents. Life is a canvas, upon which, you get to create your dreams.
VIRGO : The next great opportunity, could be the one where you get to reconnect to your true nature. Far from the distraction of the outside world of achievements, deep within your own being is the one who needs of nothing. Have you met? When the boundaries of our human existence are extended to include the Universe, every day things, become extremely insignificant. As you are removed from the mundane, and temporarily lifted into being, extend yourself beyond your normal bounds and binds. The experience will remain with you, forever.
LIBRA : You could expect some controversy within your closest relationship, this fortnight. How you deal with it, is the mark of maturity. Striking out in a retaliatory fashion will only serve to promote arguments and debate. It could be, that you are being inspired to take your relating to a higher level now. Transformation and change is a bumpy ride, more often than not. The energy that you contribute now, is a great investment for the coming trials. Put in the necessary groundwork, and you will breeze through, when others appear to struggle.
SCORPIO : Finding the balance between the masculine and feminine, seems like a huge task and one which when embarked upon, takes us through many travails. You carry patterns and beliefs, which inhibit you from having a rewarding experience with the opposite sex and this drama, plays itself out within your own psyche. Once you unearth these old inconsistencies, and reprogram, you will feel love, perhaps for the first time, in its’ purity and beauty. This then, makes it an undertaking well worth the effort.
SAGITTARIUS : If you are experiencing a little drudgery in your life, we can attribute it to your planetary ruler being in the sign of Capricorn. Definitely, not about fun and good times; but rather more like work, work and more work. On a more positive note, Pluto leaving your sign, will lighten other areas of your life enormously. The work then, becomes more for reward, and less for transformation. Not such a bad thing. A great time, to create some new boundaries in your life, and to determine the self-expression, which best suits the new you.
CAPRICORN : You are feeling pretty confident, and optimistic at this point and why not. Finally, the rest of the World is coming into alignment with the orientation of goal setting, hard-work and self-discipline. If it is your job to be a way shower, then no holding back with your talents and abilities. Remember though, that some of these ethics are new, to others and they may need a little gentle discipline. The school of hard knocks, has taught you valuable lessons, which will help you and those you come in contact with, through the harder times.
AQUARIUS : When it comes to the art of inventing, you are way ahead of the field. What is your current expression of the inventor? Is this something you could be networking and sharing? Way ahead of the field, with your visionary abilities, you are probably somewhere in the future, needing to drop back into current time, to touch base with the rest of us. Through this, you will discover the sense of camaraderie, that has been alluding you up until now. Somewhere within the unification of thoughts, there is a place of commonality, which is very familiar.
PISCES : Neptune and the Sun, will be dancing together, at the end of the fortnight. This will shed some light, on your new direction. The rumblings which have been occurring, over these past weeks, will finally reveal a new mission for you. Get yourself ready, as you invent yourself anew. Be willing to discard the old, and move boldly, without looking back, into this new phase of your life. Being of service to yourself and the planet, is your lifelong dream, and this is a giant stride in that direction. Pay close attention to all synchronous events.
