It is still January, and I wish you a Happy New Year! As you
celebrate the Full Moon in Leo on January 26th, think about the
challenges you face and the dreams you are projecting for 2013. Astrology teaches us that humanity is
involved in a struggle to transform our fundamental paradigms: Uranus and Pluto
are in an important square formation throughout the year and into 2014 and 2015. This is an evolutionary birthing. We are trying to open our eyes and see
life anew. We are trying to listen
to subtle messages blowing in the wind.
Maybe there really is enough for everyone here on planet Earth! Maybe it is time to re-examine Social
Darwinism! Each of us has a role
to play in this evolutionary process.
We are all challenged to release our fears and get on with expressing
our unique talents. Here are some
tips for each Zodiac sign for 2013. Read your Sun sign and if you know your Rising Sign
(Ascendant) read that entry as well. May we all have a healthy, prosperous and
loving year. With planet Jupiter
transiting the sign of Gemini until late June, we have the gift of laughter to
keep our spirits light.
CAPRICORN
The New Year kicked off with a plateful of planetary energy
in your sign. The Sun, Moon,
Mercury, Pluto and Venus all clustered in Capricorn at the new moon giving
Capricorns a confident take off for 2013.
Pluto is still transiting Capricorn (currently at 10 degrees of the
sign). Capricorns born in late
December through January 1st are strongly impacted by Pluto throughout the
year. Pluto means something is
dying and something else is being born.
Some Capricorns are finishing up a chapter of their lives and going
through the labor pains of giving birth to an entire new life. This might involve a change of
residence (local or far away).
Solid Saturn rules Capricorn, so change is not your favorite thing. During the full moon period around
January 26, try to relax. Venus in Capricorn promises to help you survive the
changes that are ahead of you. Nothing will destroy your true values but you
must open up and let life lead you to your next adventure. Pretend you are just rebuilding your house. You are also rebuilding your inner
world.
AQUARIUS
Mars has been transiting Aquarius since the first of
January. Mars is assertive energy
so you, Aquarius, were the first out of the gate for 2013. Mars in Aquarius is not overly physical
or aggressive. It is more intellectual since Aquarius is an air sign. When the
Sun and Moon come together for the full moon on January 26, Aquarius natives
are primed to move forward with their lives. As Mars gets close to Neptune at the very end of January,
Aquarius folks can tune in to spiritual interests. This could be volunteer work or a meditation class. The Pluto/Uranus “biggie” is operating
behind the scenes all year. Pluto
in the natural 12th house for Aquarius means that breakdown and breakthrough
can occur in the unconscious, can
be facilitated through dreams, or can best be accessed from behind the
curtain. As much as you love
community, dear Aquarius, please take time throughout this year to meditate
alone and then speak up and share what you receive from the higher planes.
PISCES
Neptune is transiting your sign, Pisces. If your birthday
falls between February 17 and 22, you are strongly influenced by Neptune
throughout 2013. All Pisces are under
the spell of Neptune this year. Neptune tends to dissolve what it touches. The Sun represents your ego identity as
well as your solar energy that pumps life through your being. A Neptune transit means you may feel
less energetic than you used to feel. You will be strong again, but first Neptune
wants you to forget who you were so a new you can swim out of the sea. Neptune sitting on your Sun may also
indicate that you will be asked to sacrifice some of yourself. Another person or persons may need your
time and energy. You may decide to
get involved in animal rights. You may become a big sister or big brother for a
youngster. You might get more
involved in a spiritual organization or in esoteric studies. Neptune will help you soften and become
more sensitive to suffering and/or Neptune will draw you in to some kind
artistic expression. During the
early part of February when Mars connects with Neptune, please give extra
attention to your immune system and physical health. Furthermore, Neptune rules addictions. If addiction has been your nemesis,
it’s time for healing.
ARIES
The Pluto/Uranus square affected you Aries folks in 2012 and
continues to grab your attention in 2013.
Aries natives born March 27 through April 1st are
particularly affected this year.
Uranus is the awakener. Aries people are waking up and realizing what
needs to be overhauled in their lives.
They are stepping up and becoming leaders in all kinds of
industries. They are waking
up and realizing that they are very smart and have much to offer their
communities. Take your
place, Aries, and help the world re-structure and re-make what is broken. Not everything needs to be thrown out
but there is plenty that needs fixing.
Aries natives are part of the emergency crew destined to revitalize worn
out systems. The Neptune
planet is transiting your natural 12th house so be sure to get lots
of rest and take time out to listen to your inner guidance. You can be a channel for good with
Uranus transiting your sign and Neptune stimulating your higher self. Neptune can also take us down the path
of illusion so watch the addictions if you have that inclination.
TAURUS
Saturn is transiting Scorpio and opposing your Sun sign
during 2013. Partnerships are
highlighted for you. Saturn going
through your natural 7th house means your significant other is
affecting your life more than usual.
Your partner/mate needs you and the relationship will deepen. For some Taurus people a relationship may need a big
overhaul. Don’t hesitate to seek
out the right counseling or healing support. Throughout the year, Uranus sits in your 12th house
where it helps you gain intuitive insight and spiritual awakening. Pluto
squares Uranus from your 9th house of “the higher mind.” You are re-doing your entire belief
system (or at least a big chunk of is).
How you thought it was going to be is dying and you are downloading an
entire new program from Uranus in your 12th. Don’t fight it,
Taurus. You are more comfortable
when you feel safe in sameness and routine. Now you get to practice feeling good even when life is a
roller coaster taking you on a wild ride.
GEMINI
Jupiter continues its transit through your sign, Gemini,
until late June. Jupiter often
brings opportunity. Hopefully 2013
started with financial opportunity.
Your house of money was stimulated. Hopefully that meant money coming in, not going out! Since the middle of 2012 you have
needed to put yourself out in the world in order to be seen and heard. Meanwhile, with Neptune affecting your
career department, you are aligning with your vocational dreams. If it is time for new energy,
look to friendship, organizations, and community involvement to help jump-start
your life battery. Early February
gives you a chance to connect with your life purpose and dreams. Jupiter helps
you stay optimistic while you express yourself with grace and wit. Saturn makes your everyday work life
tedious and stressful. Pay attention to your health. Days of hard work need to
be balanced with exercise and rest.
CANCER
Pluto opposes your sign, Cancer. Like Capricorn, you are shaken up by the Plutonian forces of
destruction and re-birth. Pluto
doesn’t just demolish; it cleans the ground for a new structure. The New Year began with a concentration
of planets in your relationship sector.
There is bound to be some rebuilding in your closest relationships. The Full Moon late in January puts the
spotlight on joint assets and how to establish shared goals. When Pluto opposes the Sun (as it is
doing now), a person is guided to re-build the ego structure and the manner of
outer expression. At the same
time, Uranus is stirring up your career area. Some Cancerians have innovative methods to share with the
world. Jupiter is behind the
scenes but getting ready to pump you up in late June (when Jupiter enters the
sign of Cancer). This is a busy
and exciting year. What do you
want to build? Cancer is a creative sign so let yourself imagine the most
creative outpouring of your soul.
LEO
The year started with Mars opposing your Leo Sun. If you had problems with other people
or an institution, perhaps things will resolve by the time of the Full Moon on
January 26. At least you started
the year with a feeling of strength, but don’t let disagreements or problems set
the tone for the year. Let go. A
more important focus for you is your everyday health and self-care
routines. Pluto is affecting your
natural 6th house (the place of health, work and service). If you are not happy with your
body weight or your physical abilities, it is time to re-do how you approach
your health and self care. A
change of diet, a new exercise program, and new attitudes toward how you work
are possibilities. Renewal of your
energy and overall health is the ticket to feeling good about you. Jupiter in Gemini helps give you a happy
attitude as well as new friends.
The Uranus/Pluto arrangement in your chart might tempt you to travel
somewhere for your health, like a spa or a sacred healing spot. If you can afford some unusual travel
destination, go for it!
VIRGO
The New Year gave you the promise of tangible results for
last year’s work. The big
collection of earthy Capricorn planets affected your earthy Virgo in a helpful
way. January is full of work
but you are goal oriented and expecting some important feedback for your efforts.
Furthermore Jupiter is touching down in your natural 10th house of
career. You keep expanding and
finding opportunity on every corner.
The Pluto/Uranus overhaul for you seems to stir up your house of
children. If you are young and
single, you might want to be careful.
This year continues the danger of unexpected parenthood. If you are older and already have
children, this energy might affect a child or how you relate to a child. Something about your parenting or
something about the child needs to change. This area of the horoscope is also
about love. You are learning to
love in a profound way. Neptune is
hanging around your “significant other department.” Neptune can bring more refined, loving energy into your
life. However, if you find yourself
drawn to mysterious addictive types, please step back and give yourself space
to breathe and re-group.
LIBRA
Dear sweet Libras, you want nothing more than a nice,
peaceful life. Alas, in 2013,
Pluto is affecting you like a volcano.
Libras born in late September and the first few days of October are
seriously impacted by Pluto’s current residence in the roots of the
horoscope. All Libras may have
started the New Year by vowing to overcome past problems. You may have
uncovered family secrets. You may be in the process of moving your
residence. More than
anything, Pluto is tearing your
security into rags. Who you thought
you were and where you thought you came from is shifting, shaking and
reforming. Your inner world is
anything but peaceful this year.
Planet Uranus is visiting your relationship department. The combination of Pluto and Uranus in
your horoscope suggests surprises and upheavals. This is hard for Libras who are genuinely relational and who
want harmony above all else. My
sympathies. Jupiter expands your
thinking. Your beliefs are being amended.
Your entire life history is up for review. Come summertime Jupiter moves
to your career arena. You will
feel more confident as the year progresses.
SCORPIO
Planet Saturn is the big news for Scorpio in 2013. Saturn stepped into Scorpio in October
2012. Scorpios born from October
31 to November 12th are in Saturn’s classroom. The good news is if you take the class
seriously, you will get a good grade.
Sometimes a Saturn transit brings a happy culmination of years of
work. Scorpios have Saturn’s
support! The January Full Moon in
Leo shines brightly in the career sector of the horoscope. Let this Full Moon set the stage for
your public performance for 2013.
When summer comes we will have a big grand trine in the water
element: Saturn in Scorpio,
Jupiter in Cancer, Neptune in Pisces.
It might get easy to bring your dreams and aspirations into concrete
reality by the end of the year.
The Saturn/Jupiter/Neptune trio supports Scorpio’s intuitive abilities
and healing gifts. The
Pluto/Uranus heavy duo stirs up your need to re-do how you work. It might be time to add teaching to
your skill set. You will need
freedom in your workday and you will need a flexible attitude. Scorpio is a fixed sign. Google “flexible” and give it a try.
SAGITTARIUS
The collection of Capricorn planets at the beginning of 2013
affected your financial department, Sagittarius. The Uranus/Pluto rumble influences finances, speculation and
risk taking. Perhaps you are
trying to re-do how you make money.
You are driven to experience your self-worth and self-esteem in tangible
ways. Neptune is beginning to
confuse your sense of identity.
Your way of understanding yourself is changing slowly but surely. When Neptune puts a fog around you,
it’s a good idea to ask your higher self to guide you along your journey. Your earthly ego may crater and a new
ego will emerge, but your core being can remain intact. Jupiter is a blessing for you in
2013. It is traveling through your
relationship sector bringing support and opportunity from other people. Be grateful. You are entering a beneficial cycle. If you have something valuable to
offer, this is the time to ask for opportunity and recognition. There are no “overnight sensations”
however. Saturn sits behind the scenes quietly requiring serious work before
your receive any prizes. If you
can muster enough focus for your projects, this can be a very successful year.
