Date Posted: 20:28:04 01/20/10 Wed ** 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): You, Aquarius, are one of a kind. Every single Water Bearer is absolutely unique in every possible way -- and there's a very real reason for that. These folks work hard to ensure that they're completely and 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 radical and rebellious, are also somehow completely, totally and 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 -- 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 all-important 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 -- and 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 efforts! 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 19 to February 18 January 18: Sun enters Aquarius January 24: Sun trines Saturn Aquarius is often mistaken for a water sign since its symbol is the Water Bearer. But this sign is actually a member of the air element, and as such is involved in the world of ideas. If you've ever known an Aquarian, you already know that there is something different about them. They may be unconventional or rebellious. Their ideas may be cutting-edge, or downright eccentric! Every year as the Sun transits Aquarius, you have the opportunity be less conservative and a bit more unconventional. It's time to break out of ruts and open your soul to new possibilities and pathways. The Sun's trine to Saturn shows that people in positions of authority are willing to help you. Take advantage of this supportive environment! January 29: Sun opposite Mars Midway into the Mars retrograde cycle, the Sun and Mars form an opposition, which means that while the Sun is on one side of the earth and 180 degrees away, Mars is on the other side. Whenever you think of Mars, think of something heating up. It's a warrior planet that also represents one of the most powerful advocates you could ever have. Nothing is moving quickly right now, so don't push -- and don't allow events or people to get you off-track. But do keep an eagle-eye out for anyone on a slow simmer who uses hate as their fuel. January 29: Full Moon in Leo The Sun and Moon are always opposite each other during a full Moon. This time, because retrograde Mars is currently opposite the Sun, the moon sits next to Mars, which heats up the emotional atmosphere quite a bit! Leadership, respect for yourself and others, and creativity are leading themes of Leo -- so be sure to lead and create, while conducting yourself in an admirable way. Take into account that the current Saturn/Pluto square is also highlighted now, which means that it's time to let go of whatever isn't working. January 31: Saturn squares Pluto Last November 15, Saturn squared Pluto. Now, with Saturn retrograde, this serious planet squares intense Pluto yet again, emphasizing themes that have been in place since last fall. Pay attention to whatever is a central topic in your life right now, because once Saturn is direct in August, we will see a repeat of this game-changing square. This aspect represents a conflict, a clash of world views, and the need to rehabilitate outmoded systems. Release your old vision about the way the world is and the ways things should work. Since the world is changing, you will help yourself by changing right along with it! February 5: Jupiter quincunx Saturn These two planets represent expansion (Jupiter) and contraction (Saturn). Astrologers call them the social planets. Together, they represent your lifestyle. The quincunx aspect is an angle of adjustment, making this the perfect time to curtail overspending and make a sensible plan that creates an unshakable foundation for ongoing stability. Your ability to be flexible in the face of changing circumstances will help you navigate this period and make beneficial decisions. February 6: Jupiter sextile Pluto How successful can you be? As much as your enthusiasm and your faith allows! The planets of expansion and power form an opportunity aspect, bringing prestigious and influential people into your life who can help you make the most of your goals. Use the resourcefulness of this combination and you will take your life to new heights! Believe in yourself and others will, too. February 7: Venus conjunct Neptune Are you ready to fall in love? When Venus, the planet of personal love, joins up with Neptune, the planet of spiritual love, you can't help but open your heart. Idealism is high and you are likely to see beauty in the least expected places. Just make sure you don't have rose-colored glasses on! Make the most of this energy by spending special time with your favorite mortal, messy, fabulous person -? even if that person is you! February 10: Mercury enters Aquarius Mercury's recent retrograde in pragmatic Capricorn reminded you to be sensible. Now, Mercury's entrance into free-spirited Aquarius brings a fresh point of view. You benefit the most by getting the word out about all those original creative ideas of yours. Leave old concepts and ways of thinking behind; instead, look to the future, be inventive and think outside the box. If you know which house in your chart Mercury is traveling through, apply those ideas to that area of your life. February 10: Mars quincunx Jupiter February 12: Mars quincunx Pluto Mars, now retrograde, forms a major aspect, called a yod, with a quincunx to Jupiter and also to Pluto. Because Jupiter just recently entered Pisces, this is the first contact while in Leo with this big planet. The quincunx to Pluto occurred last October when Mars was direct. While Jupiter and Pluto are forming a sextile -? a very beneficial aspect -? Mars is getting schooled by both of them. Now is the time to make a big adjustment in the way you are going about your activities and formulating your plans. Look for a situation or individual who can shape the course of your life or change your current trajectory. In general, this aspect describes a course correction. Is that good or bad? It depends -- mostly on how you decide to think about it and handle it. February 11: Venus enters Pisces Do you have a soul mate? Once each year when Venus transits through spiritual Pisces, your heart seeks a love connection. Whether you are married, in a committed relationship or single, this is a perfect time to strengthen the spiritual bonds with those you care about ?- including yourself! Can you leave the busy thinking world behind for the time being? Arrange for a spiritual retreat, listen to inspiring music, commune with nature and turn off your noisy mind. There are times when love and appreciation need no words. They just need to be felt. February 13: New Moon in Aquarius The Aquarius motto is: I've got to be me! This Moon not only highlights the desire to be independent, unique and free, but also activates our desire to be part of something bigger. Whether you invest in a cause close to your heart or spend more time with friends, teamwork will move you forward and help you become successful. Neptune's conjunction to this new Moon can bring a desire to develop your spiritual life. If you try to be excessively logical about anything at this time, you may end up more confused in the long run! For now, just open up to the possibilities of a larger, more inclusive sensibility. The new Moon is always a time of new beginnings, so start something -- a dream goal, an idea, plan or project. The Moon increases in light between its new and full phases, while the power of the new Moon phase remains in effect until the full Moon. February 15: Mars sextile Saturn Even as Mars is in strategic retreat mode due to its retrograde in Leo, this sextile to responsible Saturn (also retrograde) in diplomatic Libra brings opportunities to solidify some of your projects and plans. Making smart choices now will lay a solid foundation for success, from which you will benefit once Mars turns direct on March 10. Look for people who appreciate all your hard work. They just may help you take the next step! Enjoy the Sun's transit through Aquarius! ** Astrolesson: Venus, the Planet of Love Since Valentine's Day is celebrated during this solar period, we thought you'd appreciate a little astrological love education! Venus is the planet that symbolizes love and other things we value most. For example, if your Venus is in Aries, the warrior sign, you enjoy a little feistiness in a person, and are less likely to fall in love with someone who's extremely laid-back. If your Venus is in Gemini, a sign of communication, then you won't be content with a partner you have to play twenty questions with to just find out how their day went! The house position of Venus shows a likely place for love to be found. If your Venus is in your sixth house, keep your eyes open in your workplace. If Venus is in the natal eleventh house, your friends are likely to be the ones to introduce you to your potential mate. Clearly, the sign placement of Venus in your birth chart describes your preferences in relationship. So when you find yourself interested in someone, check out their Venus sign to see if the two of you are a good match for one another!
