Notable Holidays – New Year’s Day<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thursday, January 1, 2015<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>00:00:01 am<\/strong> EST<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sun in Capricorn \u2013 10 degrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today is the day to make resolutions, right? And the most difficult thing is keeping your promises (to yourself). And as it happens, there is a Stellium of four Planets \u2013 the Sun, Pluto, Mercury and Venus in the 4th House of Hearth and Home. Where personality transforms with dedication and expression employs the talents you have already honed. You may question yourself whether you have mastered them enough or if you need to enhance them even further. Saturn might be able to help you with your self-disciplines\u2026 It has recently entered Sagittarius, so any changes you want will come because YOU want to make them and not for anybody else.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In simple terms, your decisions will be based on your personal quest to change. And you will make the right decision the first time, because you have made all considerations over the idea with conviction. Trust your instincts to make the right decision for those annual resolutions.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

T-Square of Three Classical Planets<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the same time the Old Year turns over a new leaf, three classical Planets have already aligned to create a T-Square within three Fixed Signs. Mars in Aquarius sits opposite Retrograde Jupiter in Leo causing a confrontation of attitudes that can be actively confusing with unwarranted generosity. Challenged by the emotional Moon in conservative Taurus, it could lead to heated discussions and turmoil. It\u2019s best to step away from any arguments, lest they burst into snorting allegations that are blown out of proportion.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jupiter still Retrograde in Leo \u2013 21 degrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thursday, January 1, 2015<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>12:01 am EST<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the grandiose Planet of blowing things out of proportion goes Retrograde, the ability to erupt ill feelings at home can still be potential, if you\u2019re not careful. Family matters most in life, so take care to enjoy the time you have. Find time and energy to have fun. Avoid the pessimism that can occur during Jupiter\u2019s Retrograde. Jupiter goes Direct on Tuesday, April 7, 2015 \u2013 8:08 am EDT<\/span>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Venus enters Aquarius<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, January 3, 2015<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>9:30 am EST<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Venus moves right into Aquarius today. Affections and devotions of Venus tend to be more allowing of certain actions and demeanors. Venus will enjoy a bout of independence, whether that\u2019s hedonistic charm or otherwise.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sun conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn \u2013 13 degrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, January 3, 2015<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>6:20 pm EST<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sun moves faster in the sky than Pluto does, so its effects aspect upon Pluto. The personality traits of the Sun can burden the transformational energies of Pluto. The ego can be stubborn when it comes to making adjustments and changes in one’s life. When we start looking at making resolutions for the coming New Year, we tend to fight the urge to make those changes for the better, but in fact it is our ego that stands in the way of progress. If you can step aside from the mundane and truly see what others see in you, you will be able to make the right changes in your life and transform into something that is beyond belief. The mystery of your life is within your mind alone. Harness the power of change and, behold, you will become enlightened.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Full Moon in Cancer \u2013 14 degrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunday, January 4, 2015<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>11:53 pm EST<\/strong><\/p>\n

Emotions can run high when the Moon is in its ruling House. Full Moon energies are just as devastating, too! So, here is a Full Moon in its ruling House of Cancer. Emotions will be running amok! It’s a Sunday – beginning of the week – folks will be ready for the new week to start. Kids start back to school for more edu-ma-cation. Time to buckle down and hit the books! But keep it safe…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Native Lore<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Algonquian’s Wolf Moon is a lone Moon. The Wolf tends to come out of its den and seek food for sustenance throughout the winter, but the Full Moon in January can show off a blanket of snow on the ground, making it rather difficult to find food. The lonely Wolf bays at the Full Moon to express his feelings for hunger and for the illuminating Moon on the snow. The Wolf Moon tends to have more howling wolves than any other.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Old Moon shows how dark and still the nights can be during the winter months. With nary a soul to share the blistering cold, the Moon shines above with a light that beckons, but folks and animals alike stay sheltered against the bitter cold. So, the Full Moon shines high above like an old man of the sky – like an Old Moon.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mercury enters Aquarius<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunday, January 4, 2015<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>7:56 pm EST<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mercury is quite compatible with this Air Sign as it becomes accidentally dignified in the 6th House. You may find yourself with original thoughts and abstract ideas, because they seem more profound at this time. Try to write down your ideas and go with the flow to be yourself. If you have been working on a project, you may find yourself on the verge of finishing it. It will be quite easy to break out of that mental block you had been in. While conjuring ideas of saving the Earth, have a cup of Earl Grey tea and enjoy a moment of peace and quiet. Maybe you will find more inspiration\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mars enters Pisces<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday, January 12, 2015<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>5:13 am EST<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Planet of Action enters a Sign that would rather take a backseat to any action. Thus, Mars is willing to except a moment of solitude and serenity. It\u2019s a time to be lax and take a brief break. While there is composure, there is mystery and mysticism. Don\u2019t be afraid to consider taking action later as Mars enters its ruling Sign, Aries, next month.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sun enters Aquarius – Happy Birthday, Aquarius!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday, January 20, 2015<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>4:32 am EST<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Are you ready to get past those mental blocks? The Sun will boost you past those issues and then some. You will find today to be one of those days where you will be able to conquer any mental block. Creativity and intellectual acuity and lucidity will abound! Personalities are honed when the Sun sits in Aquarius.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

New Moon in Aquarius \u2013 0 degrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday, January 20, 2015<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>8:13 am EST<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Aquarius is the most intellectual Sign of the Zodiac. When the Moon is new, it\u2019s time to re-evaluate your emotions and re-discover something new. Take an analytical approach to your emotions. Figure out why you react to certain situations and then re-organize your thoughts and emotions accordingly. This is a time of personal discovery.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mercury goes Retrograde in Aquarius \u2013 17 degrees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wednesday, January 21, 2015<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>3:11 pm EST<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Goes Direct Wednesday<\/span>, <\/strong>Feb 11, 2015<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>2:12 pm EST<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Be prepared for communications to go awry. Back up your computers, verify your writings and think about what you’re going to say before you utter a word. As a Planet of communications, Mercury’s role can elicit free-flowing words of wisdom. However, make it Retrograde and you might find that proverbial foot in your mouth more often than not. You might find computer glitches and down-time as commonplace during a Mercury Retrograde. At work, bring a book to read while you wait for the computer geeks to reboot the computer systems. As a minor Planet in health issues, it is best to watch your diet, drink plenty of water and wash your hands often. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure when Mercury slides across the face of the Sun.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Venus enters Pisces<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday, January 27, 2015<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>9:42 pm EST<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Planet of Love and Affection moves into the Sign of mysticism and secrets. Making advances on your partner should be fun, yet alluring. Remember that you have better chances of making connections with your partner from the heart that are quite spiritual and orgasmic. If this is a lifetime partnership, you will know during this period as Venus enters Pisces.<\/p>\n
