It's January and you are thinking of taking a vacation now that the year-end
holidays are over. That sounds so funny, but I am serious. The holidays can
be strenuous, and with four loving heavenly bodies - last week's new moon,
Sun, Pluto, and Mercury - acting like little friends who want you to enjoy a
new setting, consider flying away to a mountainous spot that will give you
the change you crave.
If you can, it would be a great time to go. You were able to get into the
spirit of the season, and you are not about to simmer down into work mode if
you can help it. There's nothing wrong with squeezing a few more joyous
days into January, especially in the first part, before the pace picks up.
Mars is still moving through your house of romance, so you would find this
to be the perfect time to enjoy your partner, or if you don't have one, to
meet someone new. Travel and love will be linked this month, another reason
to look quickly into travel packages.
The new moon that arrived in the divine-for-Taurus sign of Capricorn on
December 24 (2 degrees) urged you to spread your wings, so perhaps you
already were at the airport last week. If not, the universe is rolling out
the red carpet leading to the tarmac. Later, on January 12, Mars and the Sun
will be in ideal sync too, another signal that spending any time away would
refresh you in a way that would allow you to return with fresh ideas and a
new perspective.
Not everyone can pick up and go, so if that describes you, the same house of
the horoscope rules the generation and study of ideas and intellectual
concepts, as well as the shaping of attitudes and opinions, so you may want
to go to a lecture, book signing, or even a thought-provoking movie that you
can discuss afterward with a good friend or sweetheart. Find museum
exhibits, book signing events, concerts, or a new Broadway show you've
promised yourself that you'd check out. Your mind will be especially active
and craving intellectual stimulation. Perhaps you are returning to college,
either as a matriculating or continuing education student, or are busy
writing or defending your thesis. The ninth house, where the new moon
appeared, also encourages deep thinking, especially about philosophical
topics and the mysteries of life, or social and political concepts.
A very practical way to use this new moon would be to apply for a passport,
green card, or visa. Government activities are covered by this area of your
chart that is so brilliantly lit, so even if you have no plans to travel, it
's always wise to have a current passport ready.ÿAlternatively, the
ninth house rules the courts. You may be called for jury duty this month,
and you may actually enjoy being in a courtroom and seeing democracy in
action. If you are bringing a case to the courts, you have the right aspects
to help you, as Jupiter, ruling justice and fairness, is in a place that
can be very helpful to you, so it's a good time to file a case, or try one.
If your birthday falls on or within five days of April 22, that new moon of
December 24 will continue to be helpful to you.
If you simply can't go on an overseas or distant trip, then consider a short
little overnight one, perhaps in a snowy countryside, say, in an elegant
estate bedroom that offers a roaring fireplace. Travel over the weekend of
January 7-8 and be back by the full moon, January 9. This new moon will be
perfectly angled to Mars, so it should turn out to be an incredibly romantic
trip.ÿ
Taurus born on May 7 will find the January 9 full moon very beneficial.
Think about contracts and agreements at the full moon too, and if you have
any on your desk, it's a good time to sign. Remarkably, in the first three
weeks of January, every one of the planets will be moving direct speed, with
none retrograde. Soon that will change, with Mars going retrograde January
23 until April 13, and Saturn about to move backward February 7 to June 25.
If you have a choice about when to sign, you always want your planets moving
direct if possible, because they can be more helpful to you. Now, while the
planets are strong and supportive in early January, go right ahead and sign
those papers.
For choosing a day to sign papers, I like Friday, January 6 the best,
because Mercury, the planet that rules agreements, will be in conversation
with Saturn (longevity) and Jupiter (profits). If Friday does not work for
you, it will be fine to do so Monday, January 9, too, at the full moon, as
these aspects will still be close enough to help you.
Your biggest moment of the month may occur on or after January 23, when your
career may become vibrant and filled with opportunity. This is simply one
of the most important points of the year for you to aim for a top new
position and to profile in your industry. A new moon always opens
opportunity, so you may get an offer. Keep in mind that you only need to
begin talks to make this new moon work for you, not actually nab your prize.
It may take time - months - of interviews, but what matters is that you
take those first steps after January 23.
This new moon is extraordinary, because it falls in Aquarius, and the
tightest aspect it makes is to signal Uranus, its ruler. That makes it super
-powerful, so if you want to find the perfect top level job for you, keep
your eyes open at this new moon, and even go a step farther: Ask friends for
positions that are so new and hot, they'll never make it to the listing.
With Uranus so friendly AND active, you are likely to hear things suddenly
and even in a weird way. Perhaps as a matter of chance, you'll find yourself
at precisely the right place at the right time. Something about this will
be a little strange or random!
Certain types of positions will be especially favored for you now, and most
fall in the electronic / scientific and high tech area (such as television,
Internet, digital media, software development, telecommunications), social
work, not for profit, and humanitarian, charitable, or political causes.&#
255;With Saturn in your sixth house, it seems likely you do not have enough
assistance and team members to get the job out, and so much is falling on
your shoulders to do. This situation is not forever, but it will keep up
until the end of September. Saturn will finally leave the place it is now,
Libra. If you are interviewing for a new position, you may want to ask about
the kind of support staff you will have at your disposal. Saturn may also
cause you to have problems finding babysitters, housekeepers, gardeners, and
other helpers at home too.
If you are interviewing for a job, I feel this may be important to ask about
, because you would not want to have all the responsibility but none of the
authority to hire more helpers, so that you can get the work done on time.
You have dealt with this type of situation since October 2009, so it's
nothing new, but I was thinking about you and seeing how hard you've been
working. I thought I would mention this thought, in case you find it helpful
. If you are self-employed, it may be that you simply can't afford to hire
anyone new, or if you can, you may be finding it hard to enlist workers with
the experience or skills you need. Again, this situation will improve later
this year, so hold on to that thought!
Do you work in a creative field? With Mars in the part of your chart
associated with artistic expression for a very long time - until July - you
may be working on a massive project that has a lot of bits and pieces. Now
that Mars is about to retrograde from January 23 to April 13, you may need
to backtrack to refine some parts of the work you already did. In every part
of the creative process we always have to redo things, so that the end
product is as beautiful and perfect as we could possibly make it. Be
cheerful when this happens - later, you will be glad you did. (Say, when you
are up for that Oscar, and thanking the Academy for all their faith in you.)
In the first two weeks of January, from January 1 to 13, Venus will light
your tenth house of professional success. The buzz about you will be very
positive, and you'll be able to create an admirable amount of praise for
your past work. During the first half of January you will find that VIPs
will be quite willing to help you, and later, when the new moon appears in
your career sector on January 23, you may see evidence of just how much they
value your expertise.
Your social season will kick into high gear when Venus moves into Pisces, a
water sign that blends elegantly with your earth sign element, on January 14
and remains in Pisces until February 8. That period will be your best for
enjoying love and for improving your looks. In the latter case, if you were
thinking of doing something special for your looks, such as to change your
hairstyle or color, or to buy new clothes, you will get lots of compliments
with all you do while Venus is watching out for you. I suggest you plan your
actions for January 12 or 13 - two days that changes you make will be ones
you really like. Also consider scheduling a treatment Monday, January 30,
when a pampering treatment or stylist's advice turns out to be just right.
Earlier we spoke about Mars going retrograde and that it may cause you to
reconsider or redo parts of a creative project. Mars in retrograde mode from
January 23 to April 13 may have a similar effect on your love life, to coax
you to look back and think about your closest relationship. Are the two of
you out of sync? Do the two of you hold similar expectations and timetables
for goals you hold? If you are newly dating, do you feel you've moved the
relationship forward too quickly? Because Mars is in your fifth house of
love, you can use the coming three months to adjust things to precisely the
way you want them to be.
There is one glamorous evening coming up that I feel is simply out of this
world lovely, January 13, when Venus will dance with Neptune and create a
magical memory. The moon will be in Virgo, a perfect placement for you. I
give this day three gold stars - be sure to plan something!
Then, the next day, January 14, brings another one of your best days of the
month, worthy of four gold stars. Your ruling planet, Venus, will reach out
to Jupiter, giver of gifts and luck, and bring you an exciting, tender, and
highly romantic opportunity. Actually, when your ruler, Venus is involved in
any positive configuration, you would also get to enjoy so much more than
romance - you'll feel lucky in all areas: money, career, work, and so forth.
Jupiter is now moving forward in Taurus at strong speed, so you will start
to see soon that the world is your oyster, and you can achieve anything you
put your mind to this year. Last year you may have read that Jupiter, planet
of good fortune, was in Taurus for the first time in twelve years, but
oddly, the last four months weren't all that wonderful, so you may have
wondered why. The reason things were a bit lackluster was because Jupiter's
been retrograde since August 30, and only recently, on December 25, turned
on his full power. This was good news for everyone, but especially YOU
because Jupiter is still in Taurus.
From this very moment, until June 11, you will have Jupiter all to yourself.
You are the celestial favorite, dear Taurus, so focus your efforts on the
projects and opportunities that are most vital to you, and be careful not to
spread yourself too thin. Chances to scale great heights in your career
will be exceptional. The eclipses have been working on your sources of
income, and there is a likelihood of change. If you lost a source of income,
later you will see the eclipses did you a favor, for I see a raise coming
by late May or June.
If you didn't see anything develop in regard to money (positive or not so
positive) last month near the eclipse December 10, or later, then watch the
time near January 9, for I have found that often an eclipse will deliver its
news one month to the day later, plus or minus five days. Keep your antenna
up, dear Taurus. If you DID see something happen, you would NOT see another
piece of news in January - you already heard. However, if you lost a source
, you may find a pipeline of money this month near January 9, so keep
looking.ÿ
I am asking readers to tell me on Twitter how the eclipse affects them. I
find that sharing information is so helpful and supportive to the whole
community. It makes me a better astrologer, too. If you want to join the
conversation, tell me briefly what happened, and end the sentence with your
sign and rising sign in parentheses. Just go to www.twitter.com/
astrologyzone and join in. (My handle is @astrolgyzone) - I think you might
find joining in (or just reading the posts) fun and enlightening, as I do.
Now, back to your forecast for January!
Among the people you meet in the coming weeks, several will have a big
impact on your future course, and one in particular may also turn into a
romantic interest. I have found that in those rare instances that Jupiter
tours our Sun sign (or rising sign), we have the best chance at meeting our
one true love. You may only get eight of these yearlong visits of Jupiter to
Taurus in a lifetime (the last one was in the year 2000.) However, some of
those visits from Jupiter happen when you were very little, and then again,
when you are in your nineties, so as you see, on the two extremes of the
spectrum, you have a limited way of using Jupiter's golden luck. You have it
now, so find a way to put it to good use.
Once you get to June 2012 and Jupiter leaves, you will enter a rewarding
financial period. Here is a key point: The money you earn then will be
directly linked to the seeds that you planted while Jupiter was in Taurus.
You will have five and a half months of Jupiter, but later, in mid-May and
June, Venus, your ruler, will be retrograde. In other words, act sooner than
later.
Make your list of priorities and think about where you will be in one year.
What one thing would you most like to achieve by the time you get to January
of next year? Iron gates are about to fling open for you. All conditions
are right for you to forge ahead and finally grasp the prize you've had your
eye on for so long - Jupiter's golden energy is in your hands. How will you
spend it?
Summary
If you didn't get away for the holidays, you'll have a chance to sneak out
of town for a short trip, perhaps over the weekend of January 7-8 or January
14-15. Go soon, for as January progresses, you'll be too busy. Career
opportunities will be bursting open and projects will stack up on your desk.
As it is, for months you have had many projects to oversee, and with Saturn
in your workaday sector, you likely had too few co-workers to help you.
Carrying so much responsibility on your shoulders is difficult, but you
found a way to adjust.
All the work you've been doing over the past year has come to the attention
of influential VIPs, and unbeknownst to you, they have drawn up a short list
of candidates to consider for a top job. Your opportunity to interview for
this spot will come up in the days that follow the new moon, January 23.
Uranus will be in ideal angle to the moon, indicating that any offer that
comes up will come out of the blue in an exciting way. Have your resume and
CV up to date on your desktop at home.ÿ
In love, you still have Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, at your side
in Taurus for the first time in a decade, a yearlong advantage that started
last June. Jupiter will remain in Taurus until mid-June 2012. This is the
single best place for any planet to be to help you find true love. The
presence of Jupiter in your sign behooves you to mix and mingle - all you
need to do is have that first fateful meeting.
Also due to be a big help is Mars in compatible Virgo, now touring your
fifth house of new love, making it easier than ever for you to get warm
attention from someone new and intriguing. Venus in Pisces will help you get
more invitations from friends, from January 14 until February 8. This same
period marks a good time to check in with your stylist for an updated,
refreshed look.
If you have been dating someone awhile, the turn of Mars retrograde may give
you pause, and you may either change your mind about your romantic partner
or decide to slow the tempo of the relationship, perhaps allowing it to
proceed at a more leisurely pace. If you are married, you may be talking
about having a baby soon, but you seem to be unsure of when you'll be ready
to start your family. By spring you'll be feeling more confident - your last
minute jitters are only temporary.
Dates to Note for Taurus
Travel in early January - it will be fun and you'll have time to do so.
More travel is likely over January 7-8 or in the week of January 9-13, due
to the full moon, January 9.
Your career is about to take off like a rocket after the new moon January 23.
Mars in Virgo all month is a boon for your love life, but now that Mars is
turning retrograde on (also) January 23, you may change your mind about a
person you are dating or slow the relationship down.
If attached, you may change the timetable for a pregnancy earlier or later,
after other conditions enter the picture in late January.
January 14 should be outstanding socially - Venus will be in perfect angle
to Jupiter! Venus is your ruler (a ruler you share with Libra).
All news is good news for you on January 8!
Career news is good news January 20-22.
With Venus in lovely angle to Jupiter on January 14, your love life will
sizzle.
Most romantic dates and will be generally favorable for other purposes too:
January 3, 4, 7, 8, 12, 14, 20, 21, 25, 26, 28, and 30. |
