The Stars This Week: "A New Day, A New Way" - January 19 - January 25, 2009

[I Have A Dream]

A New Day, A New Way

01/19/2009 - 01/25/2009


If it weren't for retrograde Mercury's backtrack into Capricorn on January 21 when review and reassessment are important, this entire week would be about the future. The Sun enters humanitarian Aquarius on January 19, followed by the Sun's conjunction to expansive Jupiter on January 23. You get a wake-up call with a solar eclipse on January 25. Don't hit the snooze! It's time to get involved!

January 19: Sun enters Aquarius

The Sun's transit into Aquarius this year receives a boost from Jupiter's recent entrance into this humanitarian sign that is so group-oriented. Aquarius is a sign interested in seeking knowledge and breaking through into new territory and ideas. This is a time to break out of the box and delve into concepts that are interesting, unconventional, surprising or way ahead of the times. When you think about it, don't you feel like it is time to do something totally different, innovative or exciting? Yep! It is time to march to the beat of your own drum rather than follow the rhythm laid down by others.

January 21: Mercury re-enters Capricorn

As Mercury retrogrades from airy Aquarius back into earthy Capricorn, it is time to return to ideas and conversations that were on the front burner at the end of 2008. The goals you had and some of those ideas about what you want to achieve this year are worth a second look. Capricorn is quite practical and getting a firm grasp on what will work and what won't, can be helpful now.

January 23: Sun conjuncts Jupiter

Jupiter is like a magnifying glass. Whenever this optimistic planet forms a conjunction, it makes the sign qualities and the body it touches a bigger theme than it would be otherwise. This is a whole lot of Aquarius, which is about 'we' consciousness. Whether it is the group, the community or your friends, the message is this: Let's all come together, join hands and sing 'Kumbaya'!

January 25: Solar eclipse in Aquarius

If you haven't already been thinking about Aquarian ideals with the Sun, north node and Jupiter in this group-oriented sign, you will now! The Moon joins the Sun forming a new Moon and a solar eclipse. Eclipses are visually spectacular and, in astrology, they herald dramatic events. This is no time to isolate! Teamwork is the motto now. Group involvement -- whether investing in a cause close to your heart or spending more time with friends -- will move you forward and help you be successful. Jupiter's conjunction to this eclipse stimulates excitement and enthusiasm.
