Astrological Winds for Week of 1-14-2013


Monday has an early Mercury/Jupiter sesiquadrate perhaps greeting us upon awakening with a sense of much to do and the realization it’s not going to all happen because there are only so many hours in the day. Our minds will be thinking Big Picture and will likely underestimate the size of the task, but realize there are many hurdles along the way and it can be quite mentally frustrating. We can be stuck/married-too-hard to some philosophical position too that has a way of tripping us up now. Venus sextile Chiron can bring up people’s gentler side that wants to help others out – it’s also an opportunity to heal or learn through relationships in positive ways. Venus is also quincunx Jupiter, which can help continue the Mercury/Jupiter energy above by bringing it into our interactions with others and forcing some type of adjustment to avoid awkward situations. It can also make us overly passive/lazy. Pluto conjuncts Juno: this can bring an intense level of energy into partnerships – some type of change may be required to move forward. Power struggles may ensue that can go down some dark roads with those who are imbalanced in their viewpoints on close relationships. Jupiter square Chiron can have us questioning our own beliefs/values both personally and societal. There is much to learn and things are quite scattered right now – the ability to learn things on deeper levels seems to be escaping most now when that is what is needed to help heal the world and society. Different groups with different values continue to openly clash and wound each other and anyone else in the way. There are 5 pretty nice lunar aspects this day to at least aid the emotional side through an otherwise odd ride.

 

Tuesday is actually a pretty calm day with very little astrological activity.

 

Wednesday Venus perfects her conjunction to Pluto (with Juno still there too!). This is a highly sensitive weak for close relationships – inevitable change can come to any that are imbalanced. Any that are weak/on shaky ground may fail/fall. Others may reach new deep levels of emotional intensity that are revealing to both. Issues of jealousy/obsession/possessiveness/power/life & death/love & hate may come up in

relationships. Saturn sextile Juno could help to build some solid foundation/ground to start from…

 

…followed by Venus sextile Saturn Thursday. This is a relationship stabilizing aspect. We can get some good advice/support/help from others. People are willing to support one and other. This can also be helpful in business relationships or bring new career opportunities.

 

Sun conjunct Mercury can really get our ego/will tied up in our communications – this can come across as narcisstic/self-absorbed/manical-egotistical. Otherwise, it can be a very busy day and quite mentally stimulating. You may have much on your to do list in local area. This is also considered a good time to launch new business ideas, travel, making plans, and organizing. A First Quarter Square of Moon in Aries to Sun in Capricorn may have your restless spirits/emotions rebel against the proper way your self tries to live each day, and asks “Is there some other way? What do I have to overthrow in my life to make it some greater adventure?” Mercury than ingresses into Aquarius late Friday night where the Winged Messenger will remain until February 5th.  This can get people very stubborn with their intellectual outlook/principles. Those with different viewpoints may clash/have disputes with one and other. People are very clear on what they believe and will not back down/alter their views. This is helpful to the technological/scientific/mathematical side of the intellect and is great for coming up with new inventions/ideas/theories/solutions. This can be the scientific mind trying to achieve objectivity, so to speak. Sharing stimulating ideas is likely with like-minded others/groups.

 

Saturday, the Sun follows Mercury into Aquarius – the time of mid-winter in the Northern Hemisphere. This is a time when we want to use our uniqueness to create something that is our signature work. However, we may upset others along the way with our stubborn attitude or rebellious actions. We could bring some new knowledge/inspiration to the world, yet be too arrogant in doing so. We must learn to be open to others’ ideas also and not be so stuck in our position that we end up hurting ourselves. We could rally around others with similar views to take on the world, so to speak.

 

Sunday there is some Mars activity – besides a Moon/Mars square in morning that can really get us going, but also have us angry with others, Mars semi-squares Uranus, which can bring a great deal of restlessness and irritation at possibly not even knowing at exactly what!  There’s a desire to do something different and our actions can be accident prone/hasty/self-defeating. Mars trine Ceres should help a bit – you may be able to use some of this energy you have to help nurture or defend others somehow.

 

Next week is led by a Full Moon in Leo on Saturday. Stay tuned!
