Date Posted: 13:53:24 01/23/11 Sun All About Aquarius Let's start by telling the Aquarians out there exactly what they want to hear ... which, fortunately, also happens to be the whole truth about this sign: These individuals are truly one of a kind! Every single Water Bearer is unique in every possible way, and there's a very real reason for that. Aquarians work hard to ensure they're noticeably different from the crowd. And just in case others don't pick up on it from the way they dress or the jewelry they wear, Aquarians get their point across the moment they voice their opinions. But those opinions, while often radical, are also inarguably logical. In short, those born under this month's sign are the ultimate observers of humankind, which makes them able to not just understand, but also empathize with any and all points of view -- indeed, no easy task! When it comes to relationships, the influence of Aquarius's ruling planet -- unpredictable, freedom-loving Uranus -- is obvious. If you're a Water Bearer yourself, you know you've got a taste for what might gently be called 'the unusual.' (In other words, anyone who's liable to startle your friends and family when you bring them home for Sunday dinner will do just fine.) But before you issue that crucial invitation, there's a very specific list of qualities you run over in your mind. For starters, if they're completely different from anyone you've ever known, that's a plus. And if they honestly don't know how to be prejudiced against anyone, in any way, you may well be in love, for you've certainly found a potential match. Of course, persuading an Aquarius to give up their precious freedom is a tall order ... but the rewards are well worth the effort! In short, holding on with an open hand is absolutely the only way to keep things going when you're flirting with unconventionality. But once Aquarius has found The One, they'll make of their partner not just a lover and a spouse, but also a lifelong best friend. Your Starcast for January 20 - February 17 January 20: The Sun enters Aquarius Aquarius is sometimes mistaken for a Water sign, since its symbol is the Water Bearer. But this sign is in the Air element and, therefore, involved in the world of ideas. Many Aquarians are known for being forward-thinking, unconventional and even rebellious. Every year as the Sun transits this maverick sign, you have an opportunity to be less conservative and add something totally different, innovative and exciting to your life. Here's a inspiring quote from motivational author Kobi Yamada: "Embrace your uniqueness. Time is much too short to be living someone else's life." An Aquarian couldn't have said it better! January 22: Jupiter enters Aries Jupiter entered Aries last June for the first time in 12 years, at which point you may have set your sights on an ambitious project. Then last July, the big planet turned retrograde before heading back into Pisces in September, a transit that gave you a chance to tie up a few loose ends. Finally, after turning direct in November, Jupiter now re-enters bold Aries, allowing you to take your revamped ideas forward with confidence! January 25: Saturn turns retrograde Saturn turns retrograde once a year, giving us time to review our lives and make sure that what we're aiming for is still what we want. Take advantage of this cycle (which will last until June 13) to ensure that whatever you're working on has a strong foundation. Retrograde periods are always about going over territory you've already been through. Saturn represents our responsibilities, our rules for living, how we construct our lives and where we need to place our boundaries. There are areas of your life now where it will be important to step back, review and see how you can support yourself more effectively. Facing barriers and ending old ways of living may be a part of this time. January 26: Mercury squares Saturn This particular aspect is made more powerful by Saturn turning retrograde the day before. Simply put, when Mercury squares rule-maker Saturn, you're challenged to communicate your ideas more clearly -- any rambling explanations will be cut short. This is a time when it's important to know what you are talking about! Do your homework and don't worry about challenges to your ideas as long as you feel secure in what you know. Not everybody has to agree, right? February 3: New Moon in Aquarius The first Aquarius new Moon of the year ushers in the Chinese New Year -- the Year of the Rabbit! In western astrology, this new Moon emphasizes teamwork. Whether investing in a cause close to your heart or spending more time with friends, group involvement will move you forward and help you feel more content. The new Moon is always a time of new beginnings, and when in this Air sign, social activities are favored. Keep in mind that Mars conjuncts the new Moon. On one hand, this gives you an abundance of energy to accomplish your goals; on the other, watch out for the impulse in you (or others) to pick a fight. Whenever this warrior planet sits next to the Moon, people tend to react emotionally in ways they later regret. February 3: Mercury enters Aquarius There are times when it's important to approach everything with a great deal of practicality. But when Mercury, the planet of communication, travels through free-spirited Aquarius, it's time to break free from old ways of thinking! You have truly original ideas, and now is the time to stay with them, develop them and speak about them. This transit brings a fresh point of view, interesting conversations and inspiring ideas, so leave those old concepts behind -- it's time to be future-oriented and inventive, and to think differently. If you know house in your chart Mercury is traveling through, apply these ideas to that area of your life. February 3: Venus enters Capricorn Enough exploration! As Venus enters earthy Capricorn, your attention shifts from free-wheeling Sagittarius to practical Capricorn. During this transit, you just won't feel like investing your time and energy in relationships that don't have a future; instead, you are cautious and practical. If you are single and want a partner, take that important step to meet someone: attend a lecture among like-minded people, or perhaps a cooking class. If you are already in a relationship, do something thoughtful for your partner. Capricorn is the sign of the builder, and now is the time to build the relationship that brings you happiness. February 9: Venus conjuncts Pluto Sometimes relating at a deep, profound level can overload your system and make you want to run away from romantic entanglements. But this week, you'll feel like you want to experience the full depths of love. Those who like to swim in shallow waters won't interest you. Those who can't make a full passionate commitment won't keep your attention. All conjunctions mark a new beginning. Open your heart to those who have lots of love to give. Enjoy the Sun's transit through Aquarius! AstroLesson: Eclipses From ancient times to today's modern world, eclipses have traditionally been known for their association with dramatic events in human and earthly affairs. If you've ever been fortunate to witness an eclipse, you know they're quite spectacular! When an eclipse occurs, you can always plan on something grabbing your attention; still, what you think is going to happen often doesn't. In fact, we usually use the word 'eclipse' to describe how one event overshadows another. Solar eclipses occur at a new Moon, while lunar eclipses take place at a full Moon. With last month's lunar eclipse at 29 degrees of Gemini, and this month's solar eclipse at 13 degrees of Capricorn, this is an ideal time to discuss the impact of eclipses and how you can use them to your benefit! If you use astrology -- and especially if you know where in your own chart eclipses occur -- you'll probably know the area of your life that will be in the spotlight; this knowledge can help you act accordingly. Your first step is to check the houses in your birth chart to see where they occur: Sign and house locations, as well as natal planets near the eclipse degree, offer plenty of helpful information. With our current eclipse pattern, if you have a planet in your chart at 29 degrees Gemini or 13 degrees Capricorn, the area of your personality or life represented by that planet will receive a lot of attention. If your natal Sun is contacted, you can anticipate finding yourself in the spotlight, so make sure you showcase your best traits! If action planet Mars is activated, set a new course or do something bold. If Mercury is contacted by the eclipse, expect interesting news! Just be sure to choose your words carefully, since what you say will be broadcast. If you don't have planets contacted, simply use your knowledge of the houses to help you make beneficial decisions. Good luck! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
