LUNATIONS
NEW MOON occurs on January 8, 2008 at 06:37 AM EST
This New Moon, the Lights are kissing in Capricorn and in sextile to Uranus in Pisces. This can make for excellent snow skiing and creative ice sculpture! Jupiter is now in Capricorn and trine to Saturn, the ruler of that sign. Progress can be made with changes in our daily lives by resetting our priorities. “Everything in moderation”, makes sense now. Roles with family and friends are enriched now as we acknowledge our growth as well as that of others. Old traditions can be met with renewed excitement now. Knowledge can be pleasure as well as power.
FULL MOON occurs on January 22, 2008 at 08:35 AM EST
This Full Moon in Leo opposing the Aquarian Sun is rather quiet. The big shakes in this lunation chart focus on Mercury, Neptune and the North Node in trine to retrograde Mars, now in Gemini! The creative impulses and imaginative expression is outstanding! Venus kisses Pluto in opposition to Mars complimenting exchanges with both sexes and diversified cultures. A mutable opposition of this nature makes for interesting meetings and conversations - but with Mars retrograde, conclusions will be evasive. Write in pencil; think twice!
Mercury Retrograde Alert!
Mercury retrogrades in Aquarius on January 28, 2008 at 09:31 AM EST until February 18, 2008 at 03:58 PM EST! This retrograde will impact most electronic and mechanical venues. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, a higher octave of Mercury, and impacts progress in many areas of our life. Be sure to back up all data and be hesitant to invest in new technologies during this period. The plus side of this retrograde is that it can encourage an interest in technologies and innovations of the past as well as cultural solutions that have repeated themselves throughout history. Friends easily reconnect at this time and we revisit how we perceived the future we are in now the last time Mercury was retrograde in Aquarius which was January of 2002!!!
Mars in Cancer Retrograde Alert!
On November 15th at 03:24 AM, Mars stations retrograde in Cancer - easing back into Gemini until January 31st, 2008. Mars will continue in its shadow until April 5, 2008! This seems like a long term for Mars, the planet of action and decision to be on hold! Expect delays and a lack of focus to pervade this cycle. Frustration and passive/aggressive behavior will be all around you! One great blessing of this cycle is to reclaim relationship with family and close friends. Old disputes lose their bite now. Acceptance of those things you cannot change is an imperative!
Saturn in Virgo Retrograde Alert!
On December 19th at 9:11 Am, Saturn retrogrades in the sign of Virgo until May 4, 2008 and remains in its shadow until August 8th! This cycle offers us the opportunity to re-evaluate systems and organization and re-determine solutions that will stand the test of time. Issues regarding government, reputation and integrity will be under close inspection by the public at large. Think tanks and drawing boards are seen abundantly! On a personal level, we will be learning to work with our resources more effectively by testing alternatives. Saturn offers form to our thoughts that can readily manifest as it moves out of its retrograde status.
