Horoscope for the week beginning Jan. 16
Tip of the week
The fourth and last of the series of 0-degree New Moons in a row occurs on January 20 at 5:14 a.m. PST at 0 Aquarius 09.
The first of the four occurred on October 23, coinciding with the Solar Eclipse in Scorpio. All other factors aside, this sequence of energy where 0 degrees is symbolic of new beginnings, the alpha to the omega, represents a powerful foreshadow for our times. It will not take a lot of convincing that 2015 is lined up to be a big year.
By way of synchronicity, it is during this span of time that we have and continue to observe with awe and wonder, and a mix of glee and dread as the price of oil plummets. Whether you define the cause as economic and political warfare or otherwise, it is a clear indication of newly emerging realities as the balance of power all over the world is shifted and shaken.
The upcoming Astrological events will satisfy the omega end where the circle meets and shifts to the next rung in the eternal spiral of cycles. On the heels of this slow and deep four-beat bass drum rhythm of 0-degree Moons, we will experience two higher beats and quicker succession, with the second of the two harder, sharper and deeper yet.
The New Moon on February 18 in the very last “seconds” of Aquarius 29 degrees, 59 minutes and 54 seconds; in other words six seconds prior to entering Pisces! Then on March 20, about 12 hours prior to Spring Equinox, otherwise the last hours of winter, there will be a Solar Eclipse New Moon in Pisces at 29 degrees 27 minutes.
Altogether, these constitute very powerful signposts; opportunities for positive change. On a personal level, these events will strike chords for us all activating our personal lives. By way of a personal Reading I can assist you to decipher how destiny is moving through your life. Stay tuned!
