Astrology

Astrology works on the concept that what is in the sky above us, sets the scene for the energy available for us to work with, in both our psychological development and the physical realities we manifest into our daily lives - "As above, so below"............

This coming week:

The Solar Eclipse on January 26 occurs in fusion with Jupiter, at an extremely close orb to the Nodal Axis, giving it additional potential for karmic spiritual growth.

The focus for this will vary according to your sun sign:

Aries - Groups, values & spiritual direction
Taurus - Career & status
Gemini - Travel, adventure & philosophical growth
Cancer - Sex life & income from partners or employers
Leo - Key relationships
Virgo - Life balance & health
Libra - Creativity & children
Scorpio - Home environment
Sagittarius - Mental processes & formal learning
Capricorn - Finances & possessions
Aquarius - Self-worth & development
Pisces - Life purpose & secrets

Every eclipse has a special symbol and message dependant on the degree following its position in the sky.    For this eclipse this is 70 Aquarius
"A child is being born out of an egg"
The emergence of new mutations according to the greater rhythms of the cosmos
A fresh projection of the creative spirit that emanates from the cosmic whole, free from the inertia of mankind's past.   The emergence of Global Man, to lead the New Age.

How prophetic that this comes 6 days after the inauguration of Barac Obama as US President .   And could this really be the coming of the "Age of Aquarius", which Barac has as his Ascendant!!!

Many astrologers predict doom and gloom for his inauguration due to the influence of Saturn on his Mars.   It does look a trifle sticky on the 90 0 dial, but Saturn was actually at a closer orb several days ago and retrograded before becoming exact.  It looks more dangerous once it goes direct again, making a direct hit on August 28.   My guides tell me that the Universe will protect him however, because the world desperately needs transformation right now, but we should help by sending him as much white light as possible.   Let's hope he is also getting good astrological advice!

There are plenty of good portents for his chart at the inauguration ceremony using the full 3600 wheel, we see the harmonious trine between Mars and his natal Mars, gifting him the ability to achieve a lot through effective self-assertion.   It is excellent energy for leading and initiating new projects with the insight and drive to follow them through to successful completion.   The Moon is in the anorectic degree right on his Midheaven, in testament to the powerful emotions, both positive and negative that his inauguration will produce across the world.   Hopefully positive hopes and dream will overcome the negativity!  It bodes extremely well for his inauguration address, making a presentation to groups (what bigger group will hear any message?), where he is able to empathically feel  and meet the needs of the world.
Another interesting and powerful aspect conducive to intense passions is the opposition of Pluto and Black Moon Lillith (almost partile in conjunction) to his natal Venus.   Its possible that his election has put intense pressure on his marriage that has not yet come to light.  This energy could even support the emergence of a passionate love at first sight affair, no doubt all will be revealed in time!

So lets all work with out guides to create as much white light as we can for the occasion and say our affirmations for World Peace and a return to the values so dear to us all.
