Capricorn
Transiting Jupiter is throwing a strong,
beneficial, optimistic aspect to the Sun as we begin 2014. This
aspect will continue until January 14 when the Sun moves into Capricorn and
loses Jupiter’s aspect. Recall that
Capricorn is a practical sign. However, enjoy the Jupiter/Sun aspect
that conveys optimism, the desire to expand, grow and believe that things will
ultimately work out for the best while it lasts. This
is a great way to start the new year.
Unfortunately it isn't with us for very long.
The Sun will strongly influenced by Saturn
after January 14 while it transits Capricorn (Saturn’s sign). The Sun energy
will become much more pragmatic, serious, focused on productivity and getting
things done. All of the expansive optimism that a new year brings, along
with the Jupiter/Sun aspect will quickly disappear and it will be time to get
back to work. This looks like it sets
the tone for the rest of the year. The
card, hold reality of Saturn will take hold so remember that results speak
louder than actions, and that actions speak louder than words.
Mercury enters Capricorn on January 8th and
then moves into Aquarius on January 26.
These transits bring focus again on the practical nature of this
month. You should notice that your mind is
more logical, pragmatic and focused. It’s a good time for studies,
communications of all types, and getting mechanical issues resolved or
improving technical equipment during this month. Mercury turns retrograde
on February 6th in
Aquarius so get organized now and get your projects underway before that date. This is especially true if your projects involve
communication, analysis and calculations.
Venus is retrograde from early Capricorn back to
Sagittarius for the entire month of January. It then then turns direct on February 1st in Purva
Ashadha nakshatra. For most of January, Venus will also receive the
malefic aspects of Saturn and Mars, rendering Venus weak. This is not a
favorable time for relationship matters, artistic, and financial affairs, all
governed by Venus. In addition this is not an auspicious time to begin a
relationship, get married, begin a major house renovation or purchase real
estate, for example. On the other hand, this is a good time to resolve
these matters, whether they are marriage difficulties, decorating mistakes, or
financial weaknesses. Take time this
month to review past errors in these areas so that you can learn from past
decisions and mistakes.
I expect that we will see water-related
problems this month because of the affliction to Venus in Purva Ashadha
nakshatra, ruled by Apas (deified waters). Expect a tendency for excessive
widespread snowfall, rains and flooding throughout the month and even plumbing
problems.
Venus rules teeth, the eyes (vision), sugar
(diabetes), urinary system, kidneys and the sex organs. Health problems
involving these domains are more prone to act up and reveal themselves during
this month if you have already had problems in any of these areas in the past. Dental problems may be more prevalent the
first half of the month while Venus is in Uttara Ashadha (it exits on January
13). Be aware of health issues this month and take care of yourself.
