LUNATIONS


FULL MOON occurs on January 10th, 2009 at 10:26:47 PM EST
This Full Moon in Cancer forms a beautiful trine to Uranus in Pisces as it opposes the Capricorn Sun! Dedicate yourself to being spontaneous and sincere in all that you embrace. Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, is retrograde in Virgo and in trine to the Capricorn Sun. Flexibility and renovations to plans prove fruitful only if you do not take your eye off the goal. Conservative intellect meets imagination on the road to progress. We look at prototypes and make necessary adjustments now.


NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE occurs on January 26th, 2009 at 02:55:18 AM EST
This Solar Eclipse in Aquarius conjoins Jupiter as it lines up with the Dragon in the Heavens! We see a rebirthing of Higher Mind over self serving desires in this cycle. What is best for ALL will take center stage in planning and execution. Retrograde Mercury approaches Mars in Capricorn in trine to Saturn in Virgo * also retrograde! We look to the past for wisdom as we envision a recovery in our World. Many familiar faces embrace new roles in the future of mankind.
 

PLANETARY ALERTS


Mercury Retrograde Alert - Mercury retrogrades in Aquarius on January 11th at 01:03 PM until February 1st at 02:12 AM! Our desire for change and more liberal thinking is drawn back toward convention in this cycle. Not all new ideas are good ideas! As with all Mercury retrogrades, it is not a good time to enter into partnerships or contracts as misunderstanding and lack of clarity is notorious in documentation when this planet appears to be moving backwards in the Heavens!

Saturn Retrograde Alert - Saturn stationed retrograde the last evening of 2008 at 06:09 PM and will remain so until May 17th, 2009 at 02:08 AM! Reworking plans and modifying existing structures will prove to be quite an ambitious task in this cycle. Progress can only be made once the foundation to build upon is firmly in place. Renovations, re-assignments of persons to new tasks and renewals of licenses can go well once the Mercury retrograde (See above!) is past. Returning to complete a course of study or to achieve specialization in an existing career is also well featured.
