Tip of the Week

The New Moon in Aquarius happens on January 27 at 12:37 a.m. PST. This exact moment also marks the official moment of Chinese New Year, although the celebrations generally occur the day following, so everyone in the world is on the same day. The Fire Rooster, a.k.a. the Phoenix is an apt symbol of synchronicity for our times. That we must first enter the fire is the daunting side of this theme. The T-Square between Jupiter, Uranus, and Pluto at the apex point that has been active these past several weeks has definitely been a spike in the punch. Mercury will actually occupy the exact apex point and pull in the energies of Pluto this coming week, peaking between February 1 and 3. The outcry for rights and freedoms will escalate measurably.

Jan. 27 – Feb. 2

Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): A fresh activation of energies is again split in two directions: personal and professional. As well, striking the balance will remain your main interest. Yet, the emphasis probably leans to the professional side. Yet logic may have to yield to emotion as a healing crisis churns in your subconscious.

Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20): A bright light is illuminating your public life. Whether it is your profession and simply that you are getting extra recognition in general, this is your cue to be noticed. It is yet another feature of the changing stage of your life. While having faith in the process is featured, you may have to make your own luck.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): An adventurous cycle has begun. How you embark upon it is up to you. You could literally and suddenly decide to get away for a while. You could take a flight of imagination with a good book. Philosophical exchanges in the social setting could satisfy. However you do it, tally-ho!

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Close encounters of the strange kind are slated over the coming weeks. This will likely gain social recognition. As well, they could activate changes in your professional life. One way or another, you want to go big. With your confidences on a steady rise, the timing looks good.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Your social horizons are expanding. You have entered an important window of opportunity. Success is significantly determined by your willingness to reach out. Keep your communications practical and to the point for best results. Focus to open fronts that will have a domino effect.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22): Many new realizations are beginning to pour in. These range from metaphysical and spirituality to the finances and investments. In both respects, you are beginning to see certain things much more clearly. Inspiration is leading but necessity is catching up quickly.

Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 22): Sometimes a party is a riot, but a riot can also be a serious event. Both possibilities are indicated now. Things could swing from one extreme to the other over the coming weeks. Health concerns may be an issue these days. The consequences of bad habits can rear their head suddenly.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your unpredictable factor is running high; as if suddenly, you want to do good things. This window could linger for a few months even. Given the good karma factor, you have added reason to act on this impulse. The secret is to have faith in the returns is to eliminate any expectations altogether.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your social agenda is getting busier. While fun and games are featured, you are still in a sober and serious mood. You want to get things done and would like to see results and returns too. Rights, freedoms, and equality remain high regarding social activities.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are in an inventive mood. This can manifest as a unique twist in your style. At least some of your attention will be directed towards refining your skills and talents. All the while, you are thirsty for knowledge. You want answers and the facts to support their worth.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The time has come to take a new set of leads and initiatives. This theme has already been underway for the past several weeks. Making good of momentum and earned rewards is featured. Meanwhile, strict observation of principles and ethics has you all fired up.

Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): The push to go out must contend with the pull to stay in. It is precisely this paradoxical theme that characterizes some of your mystery. You may be as confused by it as anyone else. Keeping it simple, where others would stay home you are in the mood to go out. Anyway, business opportunities beckon.
