Astrology Tidbits & Tie-Ins

The actions of last week take us to a turbulent and emotional week ahead. With all the planets except one in water & earth signs we feel passionate about our point of view. But remember the best way to succeed is to put your feet into the shoes of others. This will give you a vantage point from which to base your decisions and they will be much more reliable.

The Sun is trine the Moon and both are in water signs, so expect to feel tenacious when it comes to getting your own way. Although, it may not be possible for everyone, you have the option to take those feelings and apply them to a constructive and fortunate scenario. Remember that the element of water tends to distort the truth. You don’t see things as they actually are. This is where rationalization comes into play and we can delude ourselves into thinking that we are on target when are not even close.

Mercury and Venus oppose Saturn and this will indicate that some interference and possibly some delay may be inevitable. Sometimes those in charge don’t always consider the most important facts. They look for the typical fit for a situation and bypass some other very beneficial resources based on their narrow vista.

Keep believing in yourself as this is one of the most valuable resources. What you think of yourself is more important than other peoples take on the situation. Only you can give to yourself and only you can take away from yourself.

There is going to be a lot of movement during the week with lots of planetary aspects and certainly with the Moon in Aries you will be taking action on many fronts. The Moon in Aries will add energy and vitality to the week. Events will bring you into the moment and require your focused attention to detail. Pluto opposes Mars and this brings about a transformation of ideas that requires you to stand behind your beliefs. You won’t be permitted to vacillate and if you do, you might get a rude awakening.

Mercury, Venus and Neptune are in close conjunction in the sign of Aquarius. This should add some mystery and imagination to this scientific and forward thinking trio of planets. Clarity will be extracted in due time. You will see exactly what the future holds and how you can best direct your energies so that you connect more effectively with others, especially friends.

With the Sun sextile Jupiter you will also feel lucky this week. You will feel invincible, as if you can do nothing wrong. This will give you a buoyant and happy feeling that should be enjoyed the whole week. Your words have an impact on others, so be sure to use them wisely. You are not the only influence, but use whatever influence you have in a positive and uplifting way.

There will be lots of exchanges between you and your friends during this week. Finally the ball gets rolling after what seems like an eternity of stagnation. The planets are propelling us into action. The Sun is sextile to the Moon so we can count on the fact that the left hand will know what the right hand is doing. There is a conjunction of 3 planets in the sign of Aquarius. This will result in poetic and intuitive thinking that will cause others to stop in there tracks. You seem to know things without knowing how you know them.

The planet of action, Mars will be moving into the sign of Cancer. So you will be tenacious in getting things accomplished. Don’t waste a lot of time dredging up the past and reviewing the things you “could of, should of done”. Move forward with emotional abandon. Keep as many balls in the air as possible until you are sure of what you want to make a commitment to.

Jupiter will sextile the planet Uranus. The sextile is a harmonious aspect ruled by the planet Venus. You can expect cooperation from this aspect. So with Jupiter and Uranus you will get an unexpected boost from someone who is a valuable resource to you. Pluto is just being introduced to the sign of Capricorn so brace your self for years of concentrated effort and work. Get ready to dig beneath the surface and delve into some healthy self examination.

Look for projects to come up against some unexpected delays during this week. It won’t be anything serious but with Saturn opposing the Sun you can expect that there are going to be complications that will need ironing out. The Moon in Libra indicates a congenial atmosphere during the week and one in which effective communication can advance your underlying purpose.

Mercury conjunct Venus in Aquarius shows a coalescing of influences that bring large groups of people together for a common cause. Aquarius is always looking toward the future and is interested in developing a plan that results in long term reverberations. Be careful of what you wish for,you may actually get it.

Health issues could be of concern under the current influences. The continued drag of circumstances on the psychology tends to wear people down. There are no planets during the week in a fire sign so it’s hard to get “fired up”. You’ll have to take things out of the thinking stage and move them into action. This will mitigate some of the anxiety that has been building up.

Caution is recommended when dealing with unpredictable people. Their control issues could affect you in a negative way. Don’t be confrontational but rather take your time in responding to their demands. When you integrate time it allows the situation to evolve in a more constructive way.

Welcome to another disjointed week with little harmony in the planetary influences. Everything seems all over the place. Solutions are coming but none of them substantial or indicative of anything permanent forthcoming. You are on your own. This is where it is valuable to have a good track record in work, finances or emotional stability. People will be developing their impressions of you based on what you have shown them over the years. Communicate your intent otherwise you’ll have to depend on some really unreliable mind reading.

Mercury will return to direct motion during the week so this will limit the many snafus that you have encountered in the last few weeks. Feel free to forge ahead with your plans and continue to work hard toward making changes that may have begun months ago. Basically, the planets aren’t speaking to each other this week. You’ll have to stir up your own action as you won’t be prompted by any strong influence.

Pluto has entered the sign of Capricorn and will be there for years to come. Expect the general public to take things more seriously. The infrastructure will be high on their agenda. You can’t run the world efficiently if you don’t have a sound foundation. Capricorn is a feminine sign and that shows that populations will react rather than act.

This week is going to seem like finding your way through a maze on a very foggy morning. A sense of panic takes hold and you suddenly aren’t sure of any of the material facts. What seemed perfectly clear last week is now a big question mark. This means that you will have to work harder to keep things in focus. You will have to rely on your instincts due to the lack of clarity of all that is taking place around you.

The nervous system is working overtime picking up on a variety of vibrations but nothing specific. It all seems confusing and disorienting. Stand behind what you believe in and this will reduce the anxiety that you feel and restore your peace of mind. Believe in yourself. This will be enough to regain your confidence.

New ideas will come later in the week that will open up possibilities for accomplishment. Disappointments will subside and you will be able to strengthen your core. Work in a creative and ingenious way and don’t be influenced by people who lack your originality and enthusiasm. If you feel sure about something then trust that feeling. Don’t let fear discourage you from acting on something that you have carefully thought out.

This week brings forth the unexpected. Powerful undercurrents come forth in an explosive and confounding drama. The Sun, Mercury & Neptune are conjunct in Aquarius and trine Mars in Gemini. This combination sets the scene for a very moving and unexpected turn of events. The Moon trine Saturn in Capricorn reinforces that we may not know ourselves as well as we think we do. Practical matters direct the outcome of events and circumstances are created consciously.

Communication is strong, however, somewhat unclear when we try to analyze it. It may take some time to understand the real matter at hand. Patience is a virtue. Don’t try to promote an issue by giving it too much spin. This is a strategy that backfires in a big way. Wait for clarity and move forward in a deliberate way. People trust other people when they are somewhat predictable.

Overall we may dwell on serious issues that have concerned us for some time. But we have been unable to give them the proper platform and delve deeply into the solution of problems that affect society as a whole. Look for people to kick back when they feel that they are being manipulated. It won’t be tolerated at this time.

This coming week facilitates a multitude of energies. There is a strong drive to accomplish things that have been in the works for many months. Harmonious influences aid in the delivery of deadlines and this impresses potential partners and/or business associates. With the Sun trine the Moon there is open communication between the conscious and unconscious. This is beneficial as important issues come to the surface where they can be dealt with constructively.

Pluto newly in the sign of Capricorn is conjunct Venus. This sheds light on underlying problems that have been looming. Ambitions become more directed and the process of unloading unnecessary baggage is imperative. The departing conjunction of Mercury with Neptune allows us to develop more clarity and to differentiate between illusion and reality. Get yourself into the moment. All things are experienced in the now.

Mars will go direct on February 2nd, so a move that you have probably been contemplating will have to wait due to the interference of Mercury going retrograde on January 29th. You can resume your plans sometime after the 19th of February. Try to tie up any loose ends so that when you do move forward it will be a smooth operation.
Any decisions that you make now will set up future circumstances and should be thought out completely. Follow your instincts.

With the week beginning with the Moon in Cancer, we find ourselves sensitive to our surroundings. The little things that make us furious cause our emotions to flare up. Don’t give in to these feelings of self pity as they will become more and more pervasive and they will take over and dampen your mood. Focus on your more secure and pleasant feelings and this will lead to a more happy go lucky approach. At least for now, this would be the way to go.

Mercury in Aquarius conjunct Neptune in Aquarius gives rise to some very creative thinking. Get ready to be hit by some really unusual thoughts and ideas. The answer is contained in the question. So listen attentively and strike with an ingenious plan that will finally put things into action. Mars is still retrograde until the beginning of February so prepare in the next couple of weeks to begin moving forward.

Fantasies abound at this time. Many unconscious stories are being played out during your sleeping hours. You may wake up knowing you have traveled long distances over perilous country. Unfortunately, you don’t feel as rested as you should no matter how many hours you spend sleeping. These dreams will reveal some essential truths that will put you on your way to a more rewarding future. Soon you will feel rested again.

This week it seems that everyone is crying for attention. Which mouth to feed first is the question foremost in the mind of the public. Everything seems placid on the surface but underneath there is a caldron of confluences begging to be heard. The Sun in Capricorn sextile the Moon in Pisces sets the scene for harmony between the ambitious super star and the sympathetic eccentric. With all that is going on in the world it is difficult to choose a course of action that serves the majority. Time is the best story teller of all.

We feel uneasy with influences swirling around us at record speed. It’s almost impossible to determine just where to begin, but begin it anyway. Doing is an activity that keeps us from falling into a passive and unhappy frame of mind. If you only think about something it creates anxiety. Just do it.

Also, get out and get some fresh air. Too much time spent at a desk or in front of a computer or television can be depressing. We need stimulus from living creatures, real people. Get yourself out and see what the rest of the human race is doing. You might be surprised.
