January Forecast 2007
|
ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING, January 2008 starts out with a ba=
ng
as MARS RETROGRADE DYNAMICALLY OPPOSES PLUTO ON JAN 2, polarizing aggression against extremism. This
aspect will be felt for weeks as Mars at 29 degrees of Gemini opposes
Pluto at 29 degrees of Sagittarius. Astrology is the language of en=
ergy
and Mars-Pluto is explosive or super charged with intense will power.&nbs=
p;
We may observe an aspect pattern manifest on a number of levels....an
explosive temper tantrum, increased warfare, &nb=
sp;a
rush of energy channeled into competitive sports, a fire, an actual
explosion or a powerful survival instinct that defies all odds. &nbs=
p; MARS WILL STATION DIRECT ON JAN 30 AT 24 DEGREES OF GEMINI,
FURTHER INTENSIFYING MARS RELATED ANGST AND ASSERTIVENESS. Positively, those individuals who have felt the shar=
pest
impact (cardinal and mutable signs....especially Cancer and Gemini
individuals) will feel a readiness to move forward after a
lengthy period of learning to handle obstacles
and frustrations patiently and constructively. PLUTO WILL ENTER CAPRICORN ON JAN 28
AFTER TRAVELING THROUGH SAGITTARIUS SINCE THE FALL OF 1995. During the Pluto in Sagittarius era, we
witnessed intense breakdown and change in Sagittarius ruled are=
as
such as travel, religion, foreign policies and education.
Terrorism and the exposure of corruption in the Catholic
church are two powerful examples of this time period. &nbs=
p;
Pluto will briefly retrograde back into late degrees
of Sagittarius in mid June 2008 and re-enter Capricorn in the f=
all
where it will remain until the year 2024. A new era is upon us
as Pluto has not transited Capricorn since 1762! The previous =
two
entries of Pluto into Capricorn took place in t=
he
years 1517 and 1762. The ingress into Capricorn triggered powerful =
and
irrevocable changes.....the Protestant Reformation and the age of the
Democratic Revolt following the Seven Years Wars in 1762. Cap=

ure,
control, big business, politics and government. It symbolizes the
state, the establishment, civil authority, discipline and the enforcement=
of
law. It has dominion over administrators, officials, farmers, =
land
owners and the aged population. Capricorn seeks to enforce
discipline and impose order. Its highest achievement is achieving
worldly achievement with the utmost integrity. The shadow side of t=
his
duo is fearfulness, pessimism and bigotry. Pluto is symbolic of death and
rebirth, drastic change and complete transmutation. It is raw power,
which may be channeled for the highest good of all concerned when underst=
ood
and worked with intentionally. There is no doubt whatsoever that our
material world as we know it will be confronted with intense challenges
demanding reform, as we face growing limitations on our planets natural
resources. JUPITER WILL TRINE SATURN AT 7 DEGREES OF
CAPRICORN AND VIRGO ON JAN 21 (in effect until the end=
of
the month), offering increased opportunities to those individuals with
planets at these degrees in earth and water signs (Virgo, Capricorn, Taur=
us,
Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio). Jupiter-Saturn trines in ear=

diligence is applied with confidence. IN LATE JANUARY, IRONICALLY, AS
MARS STATIONS DIRECT SIGNIFYING FORWARD MOMENTUM, MERCURY STATIONS RETROG=
RADE
ON JAN 28 FOR A 3 WEEK PERIOD OF RETROSPECTION AND REVIEW. In regard to all communication and contractual matte=

"Slow down and think about it for while!".<=
