COSMIC WEATHER:
Once again, the devilish Universe is serving up a mixed bag of offerings. First, we have the “drama queen” Leo Moon opposing “hallucinatory” Neptune in “Please befriend me” Aquarius (1:59 pm EST). This has the net affect of making us harbor “delusions of grandeur.” Or, simply “delusions.” Particularly within the framework of a group setting (Aquarius).
Then the Moon, scurrying around to keep on track with its frenetic daily schedule, departs Leo “the lion-hearted” for tidy Virgo “the virgin” (6:11 pm EST), a time when vacuuming with passion assumes utmost importance in our lives. While vacuuming, our thoughts, of course, quickly turn to love and romance, especially for those of us who prefer to vacuum “au naturale” in the dark.
Fueling the flame of “connection fantasy” is love goddess Venus and her separate, tantalizing 72-degree hook-up with “I’ll take one lover on a pedestal please. But, hold the lettuce and pickle” Neptune. With Venus-Neptune, we have our glittery “veils on,” and only wish to see pureness and innocence in the object of our desires. We prefer not to gaze upon or take note of any of our lover’s shortcomings, or flaws. If by chance, the nitpicky Virgo Moon forgets this, and chimes in with a recitation of their imperfections, we only vacuum that much more intensely to drown out the harsh Virgo drill. 🙂
Actually, the Venus-Neptune linkup isn’t really that bad today for relationships. It’s a quintile aspect, and that can be very creative and imaginative. Also, great for art work, or any project that requires a flair for beauty and design. Too, a good day for shopping for objects of beauty and decorative accessories. Also, jewelry! Give your lover a piece of jewelry and watch their little heart melt! Ooh la la!

“Just as energy is the basis of life itself, and ideas the source of innovation, so is innovation the vital spark of all human change, improvement and progress.” Ted Levitt
COSMIC WEATHER:
The Sun, our fab “power source” and indicator of our “conscious will” and “ego,” departs traditional Capricorn for unorthodox Aquarius (5:19 am EST), where it will reside until February 18th. The Sun is joining energy dynamo Mars already stationed here. With both the Sun and Mars in innovative Aquarius, a far-sighted sign whose natives include Thomas Edison and Abraham Lincoln, we are presented with vast opportunity to “change things up,” incorporate new approaches, don new strategies. All we have to do is have the courage to venture outside of our normal boundaries.
Aquarius also symbolizes “immersion into group activities.” So it’s good time to network and mingle with others. To join or become members of groups in which we can share common goals and ideals. Aquarius as a level of experience signifies causes that benefit the collective.
Additionally, the nurturing Moon is journeying through colorful, creative Leo today and well-aspected to both love goddess Venus (4:18 pm EST) and stabilizing Saturn (9:26 pm EST). Romance and affectionate expression get the green light. Some could even agree to commitment, or at least some kind of positive collaboration (Saturn). With the fun Leo Moon, too, we will want to be fitting in some entertainment, if not starring in our own dramatic stage productions. The Leo Moon loves to bask in the spotlight! Let the sunshine in!

COSMIC WEATHER:
There’s a Full Moon today (4:22 pm EST) in maternal Cancer at 29 degrees. Full Moons bring us awareness. They are also a time for release. This one in emotional Cancer can make us aware of how we nurture and take care of ourselves and others. This is a terrific time to give ourselves “extra mothering,” “extra pampering,” to do something nice for ourselves that will have the effect of making us feel more secure, more contented. It is also a time to ponder our emotional needs, to go inward. To take the temperature of our feelings.
Also, we want to be warmly reaching out to others now. Perhaps we could invite a friend or neighbor over for a home-cooked meal. Additionally, we may want to connect with special persons from our past, as Cancer deals with our roots, and purposely reminds us of where we’ve been.
Because the Full Moon in domestic Cancer opposes the Sun in Capricorn, which governs our professional life, we could also gain new insights now on how to best juggle our home life vs. our professional life. It could be, too, that we can prune away or purge elements from both of these areas to make ourselves feel more empowered. Personally, I am in the middle of a big purge project on the homefront, and am going to use at least part of this day for getting rid of more of the clutter around me that has been psychologically weighing me down, and interfering with what I want to accomplish in the outer world.
Today’s Full Moon also harmoniously trines expansive Jupiter and awakening Uranus at the end of inward-seeking Pisces, suggesting a special fortuitous aspect to this lunar event, especially in terms of emotional breakthroughs. Also, with the Capricorn Sun sextile to lucky Jupiter this may be a favorable time to make gains professionally or in business. Jupiter’s benevolent ray tends to positively grow the world around us.

Moon continues in, “I always have food on my mind” Cancer. A cosmic cue to keep our little fannies scurrying around the kitchen. Keep in mind, too, that we have a Full Moon in emotional Cancer tomorrow. If we’re already feeling a little “teary-eyed,” it’s because of this factor.
Additionally, we have the third and final conjunction of intellectual Mercury with, “Let me take you down, way down” Pluto in “professionally-attired” Capricorn. (The earlier two Mercury-Pluto meet-ups occurred in December 2010.)
With Mercury conjunct perceptive Pluto we journey deep within our interior corridors, looking for answers to our troubled or shady past. Pluto is the guardian of our mysterious subconscious, and aligned with curious Mercury, some of our submerged or hidden contents may suddenly rise to the surface for a thorough and final inspection. This is an excellent time for arriving at mental breakthroughs pertaining to our past. We’re capable of “piercing insights” when we dig deep now. Our communications can also be more riveting and intense.
We’re also probing externally for the possibility of finding any hastily discarded lottery tickets that could be winners. Some of us, too, may be grappling with thoughts of disrobing, while we’re probing, since Mercury-Pluto can also be a little kinky. Of course, with the Moon in foodaholic Cancer, there’s a chance that the kitchen table may also be used for purposes other than setting our plates. 🙂
Last, but not least: We may want to go online and check out the current job openings at WikiLeaks. Mercury-Pluto is associated with spying, and covert operations, and with this conjunction falling in professionally-minded Capricorn, it may be a good time to submit our resume there for maximum impact. We may also want to underscore in it, the fact, that we have big connections at Kohl’s, in the coat department, which affords us generous discounts on all the latest trench coat fashions. A compelling reality that may sway Julian Assange to bring us aboard. Furthermore, we are even privy to Hillary Clinton‘s coat size, a matter that is closely-guarded by American embassies everywhere.

“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” Charles Darwin
COSMIC WEATHER:
Many of us do not like change. This is often because change usually requires that we learn terrifying new skill sets. Or ambiguous new behaviors. It is normally easier for us to simply “coast along in our sameness,” as the beautiful people that we are already, minus the pressure of hideous modification. Plus, we may feel that if we subject ourselves to the onerous forces of change, we may wipe out, or put at risk, the tiny smattering of security that has taken all of our lives to accumulate. And, too, this could happen.
Of course, the great fallacy here with this type of rigid thinking: Life is always changing! It is never static, as much as we may like to “cling” to that fanciful concept. A static situation is a cessation of activity. That occurs only when we are dead. Or dating the wrong kind of men. Which could be even worse. While we are alive, we have got to learn to “roll with those proverbial punches, baby” and adapt.
My little banter here is a prelude to today’s complex cosmic set-up: Moon vacates, “Please, just let me have my 19th nervous breakdown and be done with it” Gemini for, “All I want to do is preheat the oven and bake my life away” Cancer. The ambitious Capricorn Sun also sextiles “You’re talking change? I’ll show you change, by golly!” Uranus.
What this means in plain English is: The day starts out on the jumbled side (Gemini Moon), but the pace becomes more relaxed and familiar with the Moon’s entrance into homebody Cancer, and the oven now dutifully set at 325 (at 2:30 pm EST). The Sun’s link-up with unpredictable Uranus, however, suddenly gives us quirky ideas about venturing outside of the kitchen to go in the backyard to build a wacky space station (4:56 pm EST). The Cancer Moon part of us will have none of that crap and rebels. So what to do? That’s something for each of us to decide in his or her own way. Do we want to stick with the tried-and-true Pillsbury doughboy today? Or, do we want to change things up and try to contact space aliens? Keep in mind, too, that pioneering Mars has just moved into Uranus-ruled Aquarius. Also, Jupiter is still conjoined Uranus. It could be that we’re suppose to “make that Uranian change” and venture into the backyard to tinker, and ideally see if we can also convince the motherly Cancer Moon to do some grilling outside, with the doughboy flipping the burgers. 🙂

“The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom on which you will always find forgiveness.” Honore de Balzac
Full Moons offer us a chance for full awareness, or full illumination. We tend to see things “more clearly” with Full Moons. The Full Moon that we have on January 19th occurs at 29 degrees of Cancer (4:22 pm EST), which is the very last degree of the sign. Moon-ruled Cancer is the sign of motherly love. Home and family. It governs nurturing and self-protection. The Cancer experience provides us with a heightened sense of our own continuation, an awareness of our roots.
With this Full Moon occurring at the very end of sensitive Cancer, there symbolically seems to be more of an urgency to it. When planets are at the last degrees, we are wrapping things up. Too, this Full Moon forms a harmonious trine to both “opportunity” Jupiter, at 29 degrees of surrendering Pisces, and to “awakening” Uranus at 27 degrees of Pisces. This suggests the possibility of an emotional breakthrough.
Individually, we will want to look at our personal horoscopes to see what house in our chart this Full Moon is falling in, as to where this breakthrough or full awareness may be occurring. It is likely that we will also see an uptick in general activity or movement in those affairs designated by the house containing the Full Moon.
Full Moons are a time of release. This Full Moon in “clinging to the familiar” Cancer may be an ideal time for us to symbolically release old hurts and wounds from our past, especially from our familial past. By emptying ourselves of this emotionally depleting arsenal, we make it possible for our more tender, nurturing impulses to again reign.

“It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.”W. Edwards Deming
COSMIC WEATHER:
Energy planet Mars, symbolically depicting the urge for self-assertion, takes the big plunge and officially sky-rockets into hi-tech, futuristic Aquarius, the opinionated, scientific home of wacky astronomers waxing delusional and very bitterly about 13 zodiacal signs. (See link below) Mars will stay in this sign until February 22nd.
With Mars in Aquarius, a sign which represents cultural diversity and “changing things up,” we are eager to venture off into unchartered waters, as long as we are able to cart along, of course, our smart phones and other technological gadgetry. Aquarius rules innovation and invention, especially more of a scientific or technological nature.
Theoretically we “progress” now by embracing or cultivating change, and utilizing new approaches or strategies in our daily endeavors. As part of this orientation we may want to collaborate with more original-type thinkers, or more non-comforming types, to get a fresh take on things. We may want also to expand our networking efforts now and get involved more with group causes, or group ventures (Aquarius rules groups and friends). Mars in Aquarius = energy for groups.
The Moon also enters curious, loquacious Gemini today. In Gemini, the Moon provides us with more of a penchant and willingness for flexibility. In other words, more of an ability to go with the flow. We’re not as rigid now, and we’re also wanting to physically move around. We have more of a capacity to see the humor in any situation, too, as this Moon tends to be more light-hearted and likes to laugh. Humor is a positive trait that often gets overlooked, but it’s something that can come in handy for coping with the mighty stresses and woes of living in Madonna’s material world, but, unfortunately, without Madonna’s nifty checkbook to tote around.
Questions to entertain with Mars deposited in Aquarius:
How are we about embracing change? Do we welcome new strategies, or prefer to stick with the tried-and-true?
Can we recall a time when we tried a new approach with something and it saved the day for us?
Is there any one area in our life now that could perhaps benefit by employing new methods? What about changing aspects of our sex life? Mars does rule sex. Hmmmm. Sex life??? Can’t quite recall what that’s all about? ::scratches head::
If we could change one thing about ourselves, what would it be? Our nose? Our brain? The pattern of our fingerprints?
How are we at interfacing with groups of people? Comfortable? Uncomfortable?
Are we more of a leader, or a follower?
Are there any social or humanitarian causes that we could maybe get involved with now? Aquarius pertains to immersion in matters that benefit the collective.
What is the most off-the-wall thing we have done in the past year? Have we even done anything off-the-wall, lately? If not, why not? Could it be that we are packaged too tightly, and that we should give ourselves permission to roam around a little, or a lot? Especially when we are trying to locate the ever-elusive George Clooney.
“They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.” Confucius
With Mars in Aquarius, this is the time to take bold, decisive action to get out of our ruts. Out of our stagnation. We should never allow ourselves to think that change is not possible for us. It is, and now is the time to seek out that change! This is also an excellent time for putting new systems or procedures into place. In other words, erecting new infrastructure.
One project that I personally intend to do now is get rid of the ancient computer PC in my home-office. I never use it. All it does it sit on the computer table taking up space. This scenario has been going on for over a year now, ever since I got my new laptop, because I have been terrified at the thought of having to deal with all the plugs and cords, etc. plugged into the computer. Plus, I don’t know how to clean the hard drive. I have decided now, though, that with Mars in hi-tech Aquarius I am going to somehow figure out how to proceed here and get rid of the frickin’ thing. Free up the chi energy around me. In fact, I am resolving to go through every room in my house and purge. I want the environment “different” around me now. I want to tap into the newness and freshness of Mars in Aquarius.

“My problem lies with reconciling my gross habits with my net income.”Errol Flynn
Cosmic Weather:
Moon continues in acquisition-minded Taurus, which governs money, possessions, and what we esteem or value. Our values, too, can often be decoded by what we spend our money on. We may want to focus now on practical ways to build up our precious nest egg, while simultaneously luxuriating around the house in our silk pajamas eating bon-bons. The Venus-ruled Taurus Moon is all about seeking out decadent pleasure, creature comforts, indulging the physical senses, in addition to having to grapple with the often “weightier issue” of procuring material security, a matter which can often feel like having a big “noose around our neck,” especially in today’s challenging economic climate.
Things to think about today:Are we satisfied with our present financial situation? Do we have enough money coming into our household to meet our daily needs, and to also lead the lifestyle that we desire? Too, are we grateful for the things that we already have in our life? Are we managing our resources diligently, or do we squander our money? Are there any steps that we can maybe take now to make our lives more materially-secure?
Also, in our quest for material abundance, should we try, perhaps, to get on the Oprah Show, before she goes off the air, in hopes that she will be characteristically playing Santa again in the near future? Maybe we should also go so far as to suggest to Oprah, maybe through an email to her website, oprah.com, that she make every future Oprah show, this 2011 season, a yuletide-spirited “favorite things show,” since this is, sadly, her last go round (aside, of course, from OWN), and that lucky Jupiter is still technically and philanthropically aligned with Oprah’s ruling planet, Uranus, which also rules broadcasting (Oprah is an Aquarian). Point out to her that it is “clearly written in the stars” for her to keep playing a generous Santa-type role now, since Jupiter rules Santa Claus, and she is in Uranian-ruled broadcasting, and these two planets are together now.
Also, make her existentially aware of the fact that this same “Jupiter-Uranus configuration” is the very “believe in miracles” thing that she is always alluding to in her insightful, consciousness-raising dialogue with us. Don’t anyone say, either, that this is “too much of a stretch” here, about the possible Oprah involvement or rescue in our lives. We have all simply got to believe this, in order to achieve it! Jupiter-Uranus in visionary Pisces is about dreaming, and hope for a bright future, especially one with Hugh Jackman in Australia. We can’t help it if lovely, dear Oprah, just happens to be part of the equation. Simultaneously, we are very glad and thankful that she is. 🙂
It’s very cool, too, that when the magical Jupiter-Uranus aspect was exact to the minute last week, “St. Nick” Oprah publicly discussed making “Ted Williams,” an ex-radio announcer, the official voice of the OWN network. Not sure if this is going to happen, but we have got to love Ted’s timing! Surfacing when he did, thanks to that fortuitous, caring newspaper guy at the Columbus Dispatch, originally spotting him, and later going to bat for him by posting his encounter with Ted via a Pisces-ruled video on the Uranian-ruled internet. Uranus also rules radio announcers, with the Jupiter-Uranus aspect here, helping to miraculously sweeten Ted’s lot. So glad for all the success and love swirling around Ted Williams.
(Since originally writing the above on Monday, Ted has reportedly entered rehab for his alleged addiction problems. Apparently, with prompting from television’s Dr. Phil. Jupiter’s intrinsic nature can be protective, and aligned with Uranus, there can be a sudden “awakening” and swift movement in our affairs. Pisces also happens to govern rehabilitation and rehab centers. Neptune, Pisces’ ruler, is associated with addiction and dependencies. Hopefully, Ted will now be able to acquire the care that his spirit maybe needs, so that he can continue positively on his path. To go from homelessness, to overnight celebrity on a world-stage, I believe, would be very stressful for most of us.
Another thing that I think has been enlightening about this Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Pisces now, on more of a collective basis, is that by hearing about Ted’s story, hearing about his struggles over the years, and his battle with his addictions, we are becoming keenly reminded again about the matter of addictions, a Pisces-related subject. (Too, of course, there has been the ongoing, high-profile story of Lindsey Lohan and her alleged addiction problems.)
So many of us privately suffer from addictions, whether to food, drugs, sex, etc. Also, ironically while writing/updating this right now, I just came across a news story that said that Oprah reportedly told Piers Morgan in an interview that she coped with depression, at one time, by eating “30 pounds of mac n’ cheese!” This overeating or binging by Oprah reportedly was a way of coping for her, in the face of her movie, “The Beloved,” flopping at the box office, sending her into a temporary, downward, emotional spiral. Also kind of weird here: Ted Williams just made those four Kraft Macaroni and Cheese commercials last week, as part of his newly-found fame. Could there be a possible Jupiter-Uranus connection to all this? The plot thickens! Or, would we be more technically correct here by saying, “the cheese melts?” 🙂 Hopefully, too, Oprah won’t be tempted again to fall off the wagon, with the mac n’ cheese, despite Ted’s inadvertently “rubbing her nose in it” by recording the commercials.
In addition to representing addictions, Pisces also denotes those persons who are disenfranchised or downtrodden. Or maybe confined, hidden away. Or people who are simply “down on their luck,” with their voices suppressed or muted, or problematic, for one reason or another. Perhaps some of these individuals lead more nomadic type lifestyles i.e. are homeless, like Ted Williams. Or, it could be that they are mentally or physically ill. Also, of course, there is the very tragic matter of that shooter in Tucson, allegedly suffering from serious mental illness, who has suddenly come on all our radar screens now in the worst possible way. The “Pisces” experience often symbolizes that part of life that we prefer not to think about, or psychologically visit. As it can show us our limitations, our afflictions. Our pain and desperation.
Pisces, as a level of experience, however, can also nobly point out to us the deep need, both individually and collectively, for having sympathy and extending compassion. Reminding us of the basic fact of life on the earth plane: That, in the end, we are all “our brother’s keeper.” That it is also not always a wise idea to prematurely “assign judgment or blame.” That we are all vulnerable, from time to time, in our lives. That we can also all thrive and benefit sometimes from an angelic, caring, helping hand. Sometimes even a simple smile, or a kind word, can give someone infinite hope and faith and help someone to rise above the ashes.)

“Opportunity is a bird that never perches.” Claude McDonald
COSMIC WEATHER:
Our enthusiasm knows no bounds as sexy, go-getter Mars sextiles fortuitous, expansive Jupiter, who is likely toting a large bag of goodies for us today. This is a super aspect! Great time to forge ahead with important projects, get things done, especially anything business-related, as Mars is still in ambitious Capricorn, which rules status, career, and reputation. Since Mars also rules sex there could possibly be big breakthroughs here as well, depending, of course, on the size and stature of the individual(s) we are involved with. Again, with Jupiter figuring prominently into the equation, bigger is definitely better, and very much preferred! 🙂
Also this is a more positive time for dealing with bankers, members of the military, politicians, journalists, writers, publishers, lawyers, teachers, travel agents, clergy, and athletes. Physical fitness and sports-related activities additionally get the green light. We’re loving competition now, as it gives us a golden chance to strut our hot stuff all over the place!
Our thoughts also become more pragmatic and success-oriented today with Mercury’s return to utilitarian Capricorn, where it will stay until February 3rd. We excel now by adopting a communication style that is more purposeful and strategizing. It is key now that we let others know exactly what it is that we are hoping to accomplish with respect to our major goals. A time to enlist the support of higher-ups four our noble causes.
Possible questions to ponder now:
What floats our boat or gets us excited?
If we could magically do anything today, what would we do? Change the lint filter in the dryer? Watch paint dry? Part our hair differently?
What is holding us back from doing those things that we secretly desire to do? Lack of money or resources? Lack of time? Lack of focus? Bad breath? Marital status?
What are our goals for 2011? What can we do this very day that will help to move us forward, closer to attaining those goals? Is there perhaps anyone we can bribe or pay-off to expedite our success? 🙂
Do we know anyone in high places that we can schmooze around with now, who can maybe open up a few doors for us? For instance, we may want to see if President Obama is available for perhaps lunch one day next week. Too, it will be our treat. No taxpayer expense involved. We don’t want to create a ruckus or encounter any backlash with the ongoing Pluto in governmental Capricorn purge mentality.

“Remember, if you smoke after sex, you’re doing it too fast.”Woody Allen
COSMIC WEATHER: January 11th through the 16th
Mental Mercury (communication) and manic Mars (aggressive urge) are hogging most of the astrological press this week. That’s okay. We’ll respectfully give them their fifteen minutes.
Mercury wraps up its stay in visionary Sagittarius, dutifully heading for the ambitious, goat-studded hills of Saturn-ruled Capricorn (January 13th). Our thoughts become more practical, more focused.
Also, self-assertive Mars shifts out of conforming Capricorn for Aquarius’ more non-conforming terrain (January 15th), which is psychedelically-peppered, at this time, with aging hippies, awkwardly still trying to “do their own thing,” despite all the intense years of pot-smoking and skinny-dipping. Uranus-ruled Aquarius, a sign that likes to wickedly “bend the rules,” fully embraces diversity, even the die-hard, hippie kind. It’s probably a good thing, too, that the hippies at least have a place to go to, a sign to “call home.”
With Mars in Aquarius now, too, it’s possible that we could even temporarily befriend one or two of these tie-dyed beings. Maybe help them to find their way, or whatever it is that they still are looking for. Maybe another Woodstock? Could be they are sticking around to see the re-emergence of bell-bottoms as a major, hot fashion trend?
January 11th: Talker Mercury meets up with big hips Jupiter in blabbermouth Sagittarius. The end result: No one gets to have the last word on anything! Steady diet of redundant chatter permeates the air everywhere. Unless we have plenty of time on our hands, it’s best to refrain from asking anyone about their personal religious or political beliefs, or about anything controversial, for that matter, as we will likely be going at each other’s throat until the cows come home. Too, we tend to zealously over-estimate our humble abilities now, i.e. bite off more than we can chew, both literally and symbolically.
Also, we need to carefully, and systematically, scrutinize documents and contracts closely, before putting our ‘John or Mary Doe’ on them. With Mercury-Jupiter, we tend to “gloss over details,” as we’re thinking too much about the “big picture.” Mercury-Jupiter is all too often linked with misunderstandings because we tend to get sloppy or arrogant in our thinking and assume too much.
Moon in pioneering Aries still has us “blazing new trails,” although the opposition to taskmaster Saturn (8:48 pm EST) may temporarily put a roadblock in our path.
Questions to ask ourselves today: Do we tend to talk too much? Often put our foot in our mouth? What shuts us up quickly? What is our favorite topic to talk about?
January 12th: We are much more likely to feel comfortable taking unorthodox approaches with things, especially on the professional front, as we have enterprising Mars in industrious Capricorn sextile to innovative, freedom-seeking Uranus in creative Pisces. Job seekers may want to try new strategies today, particularly utilizing opportunities provided by social networking (Uranus rules the internet).
We all tend to shine more by inserting our clever originality into the picture, instead of mindlessly subscribing to the fuddy duddy status quo. The Universe is beckoning, actually clamoring for us today, to deviate from the norm. To venture outside of our cozy, designer-decorated boxes. Too, if we are up to serious mingling with others, we may get a chance to interface with highly progressive types, who can really move us forward, with their ingenious, if not wacky, off-the-wall ways of thinking.
For those of us who still maintain an active, or even a semi-active sex life (ruled by Mars), that intimate activity could possibly become more exciting now by trying out new, inventive “night moves” in the bedroom. Or, we may want to continue doing the same, sexy little things that we always do under the sheets, but with new lovers. Mars-Uranus likes to experiment, and also endows us with more of a scientific bent. Just pray that white laboratory mice don’t somehow enter into our nighttime equation.
The Moon also vacates accelerator Aries for lusty, self-indulgent Taurus (10:37 pm EST), which also may help our feverish, nocturnal meanderings. Chocolate, too, may be an especially heady aphrodisiac now. (Moon is in Taurus till the 15th.)
Probing questions to consider today: What is sex? Is it something we engaged in at one time with another person? Is there anything we can do now to hasten the return of it to our lives, now that we finally have this sexy Mars aspect beaming down upon us?
January 13th: Our enthusiasm knows no bounds as sexy, go-getter Mars sextiles fortuitous, expansive Jupiter, who is likely toting a large bag of goodies for us. This is a super aspect! Great time to forge ahead with important projects, get things done, especially anything business-related, as Mars is still in ambitious Capricorn, which rules status, career, and reputation. Also a more positive time for dealing with bankers, members of the military, politicians, journalists, writers, publishers, lawyers, teachers, travel agents, clergy, and athletes. Physical fitness and sports-related activities additionally get the green light. We’re loving competition now, as it gives us a golden chance to strut our hot stuff all over the place!
Our thoughts also become more pragmatic and serious today with Mercury’s return to utilitarian Capricorn, where it will stay until February 3rd. We excel now by adopting a communication style that is more purposeful and strategizing. It is also critical now that we let others know exactly what it is that we are hoping to accomplish with respect to our major goals. A time to enlist the support of higher-ups to our causes.
Possible questions to ponder now: What floats our boat? What gets us excited? If we could magically do anything today, what would we do? What are our goals for 2011? What can we do this very day that will help to move us forward, closer to attaining those goals?
January 14th: Moon continues in acquisition-minded Taurus. We may want to focus on ways to build up our nest egg, while simultaneously luxuriating around the house in our silk pajamas. The Taurus Moon is all about creature comforts. Also a good time to work with the earth, or for fashioning things from clay.
Things to think about today: Are we satisfied with our present financial situation? Do we have enough money coming in to meet our needs? Are there any steps that we can take now to make us feel more secure? In our quest for material security, should we try to perhaps get on the Oprah Show, before she goes off the air, in hopes that she will be characteristically playing Santa again in the near future? Maybe we should also go so far as to suggest to Oprah that she make every future Oprah show, this 2011 season, a “favorite things show,” since this is her last go round and lucky Jupiter is still technically aligned with Oprah’s ruling planet, Uranus, which also rules broadcasting (Oprah is an Aquarian). Point out to her that it is “clearly written in the stars” for her to keep playing Santa now, since Jupiter rules Santa Claus, and she is in Uranian-ruled broadcasting. Tell her that this Jupiter-Uranus configuration is the very “believe in miracles” aspect that she is always talking about.
It’s very cool, too, that with the Jupiter-Uranus aspect exact to the minute last week, “St. Nick” Oprah publicly discussed making “Ted Williams,” an ex-radio announcer, the official voice of the OWN network. Got to love Ted’s timing! Uranus rules radio announcers, with the Jupiter-Uranus here, helping to miraculously sweeten their lot in in life. Glad for all the success and love swirling around Ted Williams.
January 15th: Pioneering Mars takes the plunge and skyrockets into hi-tech, futuristic Aquarius. We are eager to venture off into unchartered waters. Progress is made by embracing change in our daily lives and collaborating with original thinkers, more non-comforming types. We may want to expand our networking efforts now and also get involved more with group causes, or group ventures. Form new friendships, make new acquaintances (all Aquarius ruled).
The Moon also enters curious, loquacious Gemini. A plus for the more impromptu, convention-defying Mars in intellectual Aquarius. The Gemini Moon provides us with flexibility and more of a willingness to go with the flow. Incorporating change is more doable with the Moon here. We’re not as rigid now. We also have more of a capacity to see the humor in any situation. A positive element that often gets downplayed, but can come in very handy for coping with the mighty stress and woes of living in a material world.
Questions to entertain today: How are we about embracing change? Do we welcome new strategies, or prefer to stick with the tried-and-true? Is there any one area in our life now that would perhaps benefit by employing new methods? What is the most off-the-wall thing we have done in the past year? Have we even done anything off-the-wall, lately? If not, why not? Could it be that we are wrapped too tight?
January 16th: Moon continues in cheerful, chatterbox Gemini. We’re more predisposed to reveling over gossip at the water cooler today, in our glorious quest to gather information. No matter whether or not there is a worthwhile component to the info. It’s the gathering process, the collecting of data, which is most important to the Gemini Moon. Reading, conversation, short trips can stimulate now. Great time for any sales or cold-calling activity, or for matters of self-promotion.
Later, an important bond or tie could also be formed with the Moon’s magical trine to stabilizing Saturn in partnership Libra (3:47 pm EST). A perfect time then to communicate our more serious intentions.
Questions to possibly grapple with today: Is there something, a subject matter, that we have been dying to talk about, for a while now, but have been hesitant to? What has been holding us back from having this conversation? What are some of our favorite words? If we had to describe ourselves in one word, what would that word be? Lovable? Toxic? Brilliant? Sensitive? Diabolical? I think for me, I would have to go with “light-hearted.”

Have a great week! Reach for the stars! Including here, of course, Hollywood stars, like George Clooney. Keep the dream alive! 🙂
