Report for the week of January 21 - 28, 2012.

The Sun is now in the sign of group awareness and friendship, Aquarius and travels through this sign until Feb 19. Until Feb 3rd Neptune is taking it last breaths of Aquarius air and creating a whirlwind of weather across the US. Also the illusive quality of Neptune inserts a limp washout effect in the background of most activities. The huge capsized ocean liner is a perfect example of people joined on this floating hotel which sadly plunges its guests (Aquarius) into the sea (Neptune). Our prayers are sent to those still lost. On the political front there is a comic display of those wishing to appear presidential. Neptune takes its dive into the waters of Pisces on Feb 3rd until the year of 2025. As for the tangled mess of Mars to be turning retrograde on Monday, at all times, at the New Moon. The serious voice of authority is the tone of Saturn who seems to be thumping his heavy gravel to regain order. If this period seem like a wait and see time for you then your thinking should be encouraged to make the best of all situations. Ask yourself if there is something you can do to ease current conditions. It will be too long a period to wait out the Mars retrograde and the message of cooperation and support to others is a strong one. The cleansing process begins with the New Moon in Aquarius on Monday on the same day when Mars begins its retrograde cycle. Mars tends to cleanse with fire and burn off excesses.

Capricorn Moon will square Saturn as its final event before leaving the sign on Sunday night at 9:53 PM. This Capricorn Moon must answer to Saturn via a 90°. Conducting business, government or family goals are more difficult. This is not a green light period instead manage with the intention of keeping up appearances and satisfying prior commitments. .

Saturday Jan 21. The Capricorn Moon is not suitable for conducting business although you might have obligations in regard to the company. The Sun brings a nice opportunity when 60° from Uranus. This aspect may bring the release of cutting edge methods as well as inventions and scientific strides. Legislatures may approve controversial studies. Radical thinking and rebelliousness may enlightenment or awaken a dormant seed. This brings a very high energy output that is willing to change stagnant and outworn conditions. Beware of electrical and strong currents that spark fires. Ingenious methods lift sagging situations. You might want to meet with a group of likeminded people to promote progress in the areas of your interest. Influencing Saturday night but not exact until Sunday morning is the Sun and Jupiter square. This is an aspect which brings its fill of political rhetoric. Egocentric noise expresses an over inflated opinion of one's self. Over-enthusiastic notions may need to be tempered with the current pulse of activity. On the other hand a once silent voice may assume confidence. A general overload may be experienced, especially with work. An abundance of high principals are voiced. Necessity takes one into a variety of corners where new information leads to open doors. Strong need to spread out and experience space and freedom. A day for photography and consider purchasing camera equipment - however wait for a better day to exchange money. Journalism and publishing.

Sunday Jan 22. The Capricorn Moon remains obliged to Saturn in a disgruntled seat. Perhaps there is good reason for the sour faces. There actions of some bring down effect the appearance of many in the same group. There are indications that large investments are not well researched. In such cases you will spend far too much and be tied to its boat load of expense for years on end. By midmorning we enter the dark of the Moon phase. Venus and Saturn align for the long haul. Those tied by obligation appear bonded. At 8:38 PM the Moon is 90^ from Saturn to start a void of course Moon period that will last until 9:52 PM. At 9:52 PM the Moon enters Aquarius until Wednesday morning.

Monday Jan 23. Mars turns retrograde at 7:53 PM until April 13, 2012. A New Moon in Aquarius occurs at 2° 41 and at 2:39 AM. This is a highly active New Moon chart with the Sun and Moon linked closely to Saturn, Uranus and Jupiter. These three planets represent three generations: Uranus the grandfather and co parent of the earth who fathered Saturn who was the father of Jupiter. This combination speaks to the epics of the ages. It may bring events that have nearly a biblical list of events seeded at this New Moon. There are many other players; the strongest being Mars in an easy 120^ aspect to Mercury the trickster.
Mercury sends messages to Mars and Jupiter appears to answer the call to rescue the contents of the floating real-estate Vesta. People seek a sign of relief but Mercury is scouting for better advice to handle a delicate situation. Mars is more likely to chop its way through a tight spot when it is officially retrograde at 7:53 PM. Conditions improve slightly and you have better vision in the evening of Jan 23. In general this is treacherous day for any venture. Navigation is compromised by poor vision and a lack of knowledge. People who hire others should be checked for motives. Efforts to do the right thing are pulled to the side by another’s agenda. Mechanical equipment is likely to fail. Do not purchase a thing on this day. You are in the dark of the Moon until Tuesday morning. As for Mars' agenda while in Virgo until July is to reclaim the lost workforce and begin a stringent cleaning process often by fire or caustic methods. We can expect events to be staged by workers. The cooperation of others is needed or there may be an uprising of the average person to those that hold all the wealth.

Tuesday Jan 24. The Aquarius Moon is appears to be organizing a mega plan for action. It is a Green Light Day to move forward with your goals. The Sun and Pluto are tightly bonded to find the big money but there are so many layers of obligation and requirements before collecting a dime. Uranus and Ceres are shaking a rattle for children and requiring the distribution of fair-play and food for basic survival. Use this day to push forward with an eye on options. What moves the fastest are the projects which require great detail. More simply, focus on cleaning up the small things and create order. Throw things out and create clean surfaces for a new workspace. Use this time also to improve your body. Eat well and enter gradually into a new physical regime.

Wednesday Jan 25. The Aquarius Moon is v/c at 3:33 AM until 4:11 AM Friday around 1:30 PM.
Wednesday after 4:11 AM. The Moon enters Pisces at 4:11 AM until Friday at 1:27 PM. No Go. Consider dropping something or use a wait and see principle. Avoid commitments until February 8th. As for this Pisces Moon sign period there might be some rough waves especially for the first half of Friday. It appears that Mercury while at the end of Capricorn is the culprit. It heads for the door leaving a mess of contracts, paperwork and mixed messages to be sorted out by someone else. This Moon sign period gets a no go low rating. Your interests are only slightly better served by the Aries Moon sign period which begins on Friday afternoon through very early Monday January 30th.
The Pisces Moon is heavily compromised by Mercury the trickster. As if retrograde Mars needs any help with its wacky backing up. For Wednesday there are a couple of aspects and one has a sad quality; Venus 135^ Saturn at 10:02 PM. There is a need to comfort others. People may come together out of necessity. With Jupiter and Ceres in a 30^ aspect some help is available for those needing assistance. Have all of your papers in order for any application that need to be filed.

Thursday Jan 26. There are no planetary aspects for the Pisces Moon today. This is not a good day to forward your goals unless you wish to drop something. You could use this day to quit a bad habit but choose a different day to begin a new exercise program. Ongoing projects with no changes are best. People might be whinny and self absorbed for good reason. Friday Jan 27. The Pisces Moon brings several Mercury events; Mercury square Saturn at 4:19 AM; Mercury 60^ Juno at 5:50 AM; Mercury 30^ Neptune 9:21 AM; finally Mercury leaves serious minded Capricorn for to join with likeminded friends in Aquarius at 1:11 PM. First of all the Mercury- Saturn square cranks up the worry meter and often brings tough news. You may be over thinking the day ahead. It does improve and the landscape may change in your favor. A compassionate companion has very good suggestions that help your day to run more smoothly. By 9:30 in the morning you might gain some direction but go ahead with the knowledge that your plans are likely to change when more is revealed midday. Keep track of your schedule and travel papers & plans. Delays are likely and some connections may be canceled altogether.

Friday after 1:27 PM. The entirety of the Aries Moon is influenced by a 60^ sextile to Neptune at end of sign. This good influence gives this a Green Light Day. This is a good day if you have a vision with strong ethics. Tending to obligations and responsibility is key to success and all is not a sure bet as much depends on the judgment call from higher authorities. Whereas Saturn resides in the opposite sign of Libra, the Aries Moon must slow down for roadblocks. The final aspect to Neptune is only moments later which invite the vision for clearer motives.
Friday's summary for this Mars ruled Moon sign shares its piece with Venus. Venus is actively joined with Ceres in a long-term project that will benefit others. Perhaps some will want to open a restaurant and others will want to indulge some with comfort services. Aries is the sign of the entrapainur and Mars while in Virgo offers services. There is money available for one time only. Saturday Jan 28. The Moon is in Aries. Venus and Vesta are joined at 17° Pisces. There is something which sooths the investors taste. The Sun addresses Mars for the first time since it turned retrograde January 23rd. The noise can be associated with an attempt to celebrate however there could be a mishap that turns the attention to a cleanup. Venus and Jupiter at 45^ chuckle behind the scenes. Neptune in Aquarius and Juno at the final degree of Scorpio are perfectly squared off. This dissolves the marriage and leaves one of the partners with a very small or disappearing purse. Soon they will both move on for greener pastures. At 1:25 PM Mercury finds plenty to chat about; new discoveries and ingenious methods for growth. Mars and Ceres align which burns off a previous promise note. The Sun heads out to scout for new funding when 30^ past Pluto. Mercury (quick) and Vesta (investment, the stove or hearth) send a message that should be heeded immediately in the later evening hours. Mercury and Jupiter square off at 11:07 PM increasing gossip about the losses. Check you facts before moving forward but do respond quickly where necessary. Your partner's contribution as you know will soon end. You will have a fresh breath into a stagnant pool of contenders however they may lack the commitment you need.
