Forget about hibernation! In January, two lunar eclipses and many plot twists for the planets made us wary.
January begins with a quick whip and a bang. As we watch 2018 go, there are two occurrences this month – not a single eclipse – which catalyzes our desire for "something new, different, and nothing else". Eclipse is the driving force behind the changes in the universe that prompts us to act, sometimes with elaborate drama or accidents.
The planets will have some twists and turns, as they will present us with the eclipse (new moon) that took place in the goal-driven constellation of Capricorn on January 6 and the total lunar eclipse (full moon) that took place in Leo on January 21.
The first eclipse may re-enact New Year's resolutions, so don't worry if you haven't written them yet. The cautious Capricorn atmosphere, combined with a hopeful new moon, will help us set goals intact — those we are likely to succeed in. Of course, you'll want some fancy decorations. From January 1st to February 14th, restless Mars is in the constellation of Aries in its guardianship, and now until December, optimistic Jupiter is in its guardian Sagittarius. As said in the company's marketing, we need some "high standards" that allow us to keep fighting in the fierce fire sign team.
But what about the bang we mentioned earlier? It was the sound of Saturn, the grumpy old man and interstellar inspector in the universe, pouring cold water on our dreamy parade. Saturn will approach the Sun in the first week of January and rendezvous with the Sun on January 2. This annual alliance is often accompanied by harsh reality checks, which can be a blessing, if discouraged, because it prevents us from going off course altogether. Saturn will hover around the eclipse, shattering some dreams, or at least, putting them back on the stove and drafting a solid budget, timeline, and plan.
But Mr. Saturn, good luck and long-term peace and stability! On January 7, the rebellious Uranus, the mutant and innovative planet, woke up from five months of retrograde and completed its last two-month cycle in the constellation of Aries. From March 2011 to May 2018, Uranus made a huge impact on the world in Aries, a period of great progress in self-centeredness and social justice. Uranus dominates technology, and in Aries, which comes first, it brings us everything from smartphones and selfies to YouTube and streaming videos. Anger has also been unleashed in a wave of social movements, from the Tea Party movement, which is launched by some factions of the Republican Party in the United States and Trump rallies, to women's marches, and "black people are important."
On November 7, 2018, Uranus re-entered Aries for its final revelry. On March 6, Uranus will enter Taurus for 8 years before returning to Aries again in the 22nd century. Use these last two months to leave your personal imprint on the things that make the world a better place, even if it's just that corner of your life. Find your voice and speak out for a worthy cause. Mars is fanning the flames, and the urgency of demanding change is even greater, but it also needs to be aware of some fluctuations, because this combination can provoke the anger of justice and the anger of blindness.
In mid-January, Jupiter and Neptune — the two most optimistic but also the most deceitful planets — formed the first of three conflicting quarters (at a 90-degree angle) of the year, bringing with it another strange feeling. Both planets are in their respective temple positions, and both are fickle "changing" constellations, so indecisive and ambiguous information may prevail. Trying to get a direct answer to anything can be futile. But it's really an important moment to open up our minds and explore other options — perhaps even to put our doubts aside for the time being.
Mysterious Neptune in the spiritual Pisces, philosophical Jupiter in metaphysical Sagittarius, who knows what "reality" is? At the world level, global Jupiter and deceptive Neptune could lead to more political doubts and turmoil in international relations. We will encounter the remaining two Wooden Sea Fours again in June and September.
But when it comes to world politics, the Leo lunar eclipse of January 21 is an important turning point. In the two years since February 11, 2017, we have faced a major leadership crisis under the influence of the Leo/Aquarius series of eclipses, which have brought about from Leo's "ruling class" atmosphere to Aquarius's "people's power" (who would have thought that parades and rallies would have made such a comeback?) Everything. Now is the finale of the show, and there will be no eclipse on this axis until 2026.
On the same day that this lunar eclipse occurred, Mars and Saturn collided violently. We demand that the administrators of this so-called free country seek more benefits for the people they represent, which could spark some real protests. These upcoming lunar eclipses also prompt all of us to look for a leader within ourselves, rather than expecting some symbolic paternalistic figure to emerge and make everything better. (Speaking of parental issues, the next year and a half eclipses are on the Cancer/Capricorn axis – throwing away the baggage of mom and dad!)
In January, we will have some soothing areas, such as the graceful trichotomy (120-degree harmony angle) between the love-related planets of January 19, Venus and Mars. Both are in the sign of fire, and the universe encourages us to open our hearts. When you can confess your feelings and desires a month in advance, why wait for Cupid on Valentine's Day?
Venus and Jupiter, known as "auspicious stars" for their positive and beneficial effects, will form an annual conjunction in the adventurous sign of Sagittarius on January 22, sowing some love after the blazing Leo lunar eclipse.
Jupiter will also be hot with Mars on January 26, forming a harmonious trichotomy in the sign of fire. It could be a very inspiring day, and everything seems possible. Still depressed about your New Year's resolutions? Designate this day to add some exciting elements and projects to your 2019 plans. When these two real, non-nonsense planets clap, the month will end in a much-needed sincere conversation. Speak from the heart, but you must also respect the right of others to tell the truth.
