HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!

 

ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING,

 

2010 is going to be a "rockin" year astrologically!  We begin the year with Mercury retrograde in pragmatic and realistic Capricorn and Mars retrograde in creative and dramatic Leo.  Both retrograde cycles suggest that we are in a serious review and revise mood impacting both our ability to communicate efficiently and effectively, as well as our ability to express our energy and drive with clear focus and clear motivation.  

 

Some upcoming highlights this year are Jupiter entering Pisces this month.   Jupiter will enter Aries in early June and then re-enter Pisces in early September.   URANUS WILL ENTER BOLD AND INDEPENDNET ARIES ON MAY 27 (will re-enter Pisces in August before it's long transit through Aries), and Jupiter and Uranus will be aligning together in early June and mid September. Jupiter will also oppose Saturn and square Pluto in May and July, respectively.   The Saturn-Pluto square will be in effect through August 2010.  Saturn will oppose Uranus (status quo versus liberating change) once again in April and July, and Uranus will form a non-exact square to Pluto in July (explosive and inevitable change).   Uranus is symbolic of revolutionary change, and it's entry into bold, impulsive and courageous Aries is sure to bring major and dramatic changes on the world stage.  With Jupiter, the planet of luck and opportunity joining Uranus, we can expect some exciting and inventive developments in areas of technology, science, medicine, metaphysics and more.  We can expect world wide developments that are brilliant and bold, as well as chaotic and disruptive.  It's all part of an inevitable and grand cosmic plan to initiate us into a future where enterprising hopes and dreams can become a reality.  There are sure to be growing pains along the way.   What are your hopes and dreams for 2010?   This is the year to use our imaginations and be rewarded for both our creative ideas and our intuition with Jupiter entering mystical Pisces.

 

Mercury, the planet which rules over all communication and transport matters, continues its retrograde (review) cycle through January 15, when it will station direct in Capricorn.  During the first two weeks of January, it is wise to reconsider or review any ideas, plans or concerns of a Capricorn nature such as business management, employment, real estate, finances, achievement potential, dealings with authority figures and traditional or established methods of operation.  Capricorn symbolizes boundaries, perseverance, realism, pragmatism, patience and ambition.  As an earth sign, Capricorn is grounded, reliable and goal oriented at its best.  We must ask ourselves, "Where in our lives are we ready to mature or revise our plans to maximize our wise, inner sage?"   "What practical steps can we take to turn a dream into a concrete reality (Capricorn)?"  "Are our mind sets (Mercury) aligned with thoughts of success or thoughts of lack?" 

 

Transiting Sun and Mercury retrograde in Capricorn will conjoin Venus during the first week of January, aligning and highlighting our collective life force with established values, ambition, love and money.  Many of us will be reuniting, reviewing or reconsidering ideas, concepts and/or relationships with a persistent or practical approach. 

 

Saturn in Libra stations retrograde on January 13, 2010 through May 30, 2010.  Saturn represents discipline and exacting responsibility and Libra represents relationship, relating, mediation, diplomacy, fairness and tact.  A retrograde cycle suggests it's time to internally adjust our priorities, make needed sacrifices and tackle unfinished or unresolved problems or concerns around relationships...Whether it's the relationship we have with ourselves, our families, our friends or the world at large.

 

A NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE OCCURS ON JANUARY 15 AT 2:12 AM (EST) AT 25 DEGREES OF CAPRICORN.

 

Solar Eclipses are extremely potent New Moons, when a cosmic portal opens up and floods the collective with energies facilitating either major new beginnings or sudden, rapid endings.   Capricorn is the archetype of the father, mentor, authority figure and wise, old master of wisdom or sage.  This New Moon Eclipse closely conjoins the love and attraction planet Venus, aligning auspicious new beginnings with desire, creativity and attraction.   Capricorn asks us to be impeccable with our word and deed.  Venus blesses us with beauty and peace.   

 

MERCURY STATIONING DIRECT during this Solar Eclipse suggests a readiness to move forward with enhanced clarity and understanding.  As Mercury stations direct, it will conjoin Pluto and square Saturn- a serious, methodical approach may be engaged as we address any perceived limitations or obstacles to any emerging new plans.  Ultimately, we move forward with intent, focus and unwavering commitment.

 

JUPITER ENTERS PISCES ON JANUARY 17 - THROUGH JANUARY 22, 2011 (will enter Aries and re-enter Pisces later this year).  Personally speaking, I feel very comfortable discussing this combination as I was born with Jupiter in Pisces.  Jupiter represents luck, abundance, reward and opportunity.  It spends approximately one year in each sign as it travels through the 12 zodiac signs (12 year cycle).    Pisces symbolizes faith, trust, innocence, intuition, imagination, mysticism and compassion.  When prosperity aligns with faith and imagination, anything is possible!  We can succeed beyond our wildest dreams.  2010 is the year to fully engage our imaginations, dream our fondest dreams, and watch for signs and synchronicities confirming we are on the right path.  2010 is the year to find joy in areas such as art, creativity, selfless service, music and the intuitive, healing arts.  Pisces, this is your year for a sweet reward for keeping the faith in uncertain times!

 

Venus and the Sun enter Aquarius on January 18-19, which is a wonderful time for romance for many Aquarian individuals, especially those born in mid January as they will experience this aspect in their Solar Return birthday charts.  This is an influence that will be in effect for a full year.    Aquarius is ruled by inventive and wildly independent Uranus.  On a broader scope, with Venus and Sun traveling together in Aquarius, the collective is tuned into finding ingenious solutions to old problems.  Aquarius individuals are true humanitarians and not afraid to "rock the boat" and introduce concepts or ideas way ahead of their time. 

 

On January 26-29, the Venus and Sun will next oppose retrograde Mars, igniting some passionate outbursts, accidents or disagreements.  An opposition calls for a give and take approach to help balance two extreme polarities.  We may witness heightened expressions of love and passion or destabilizing, temperamental eruptions.  It is wise to handle conflicts with calm deliberation at this time and not make hasty movements or decisions which we may regret later.

 

Watch for the FULL MOON ON JANUARY 30 AT 1:19 AM (EST) AT 10 DEGRESS OF LEO.

 

This Full Moon conjoins warrior Mars in Leo, highlighting the opposition between Mars and Venus as discussed above.  Leo is romantic, playful and passionate at its best, however, can also be quite stubborn, arrogant or dominating when unhappy.  A Moon-Mars alignment suggests energized moods and a heightened need to take action as emotions are fueling willpower.    Full Moons facilitate illumination and awareness and are excellent times for release and healing work.  Due to the continued Mars retrograde cycle, our awareness may be pondering over issues from the past as we delve deeper into our subconscious motivations which have brought us to this important culmination point in our lives. 

 

Last, but far from least, SATURN IN LIBRA SQUARES PLUTO IN CAPRICORN ON JANUARY 31 (in effect all year- first square was in November 2009 and last square will be in August 2010).   This Saturn-Pluto cycle originated in 1982-83, reached an opposition aspect in 2001-02 and is now waning and forming a closing square in 2009-10.  This aspect is challenging many of us to confront and tackle limitations or obstacles head on.  If there are hardships or severe circumstances, we are being asked to evolve, grow and mature into wise beings that emerge from struggle with compassion, soulful understanding and grace.  We are challenged to rely on our inner strength, which is a limitless and eternal source of support which no tragedy, pain or struggle can take away. 

 

On the world stage, change is inevitable and timely this year.  As old patterns and beliefs fade away, we can choose to embrace hope and faith instead of fear and lack, no matter what is happening around us.

 

In 2010, live in the present moment with courage and love.

 

Wishing all abundant love, health, inner peace and prosperity in the New Year,
