Cosmic Weather Forecast — January 18, 2010
The Moon moves into emotional Pisces on Monday. After the eclipse in heavy Capricorn and then the Moon moving through social Aquarius, the Pisces Moon will bring us into a more emotional state as we move through the day. For those that get an extra day off work, the Pisces Moon could be used to relax, connect with our higher source, or enjoy some creative activities. Since Pisces is a “collective” sign rather than personal, we can use this energy to be charitable or humanitarian to those who may be less privileged or in need.
Although we have minimal planetary activity this week, both of the benefic planets (Jupiter and Venus) change signs. In astrology, planets are like actors they express a particular energy and have motivations of their own. Signs, on the other hand, are like wardrobe, they are the clothes that the actors where. In essence, when a planet changes signs it resembles an actor changing clothes in the middle of the movie for something more fitting to the script. In this case, Jupiter will put on Pisces clothes and Venus will put on Aquarian clothes.
Jupiter in sublime Pisces should bring a bit of optimism to the future. Let’s face it, the last year for many has been very rough for many financially and there appears to be little hope in sight as we continue to go through a world recession. There have been many studies done that show that when circumstances in our lives become challenging, we tend to move towards areas of belief, religion, our connection to God/Goddess or source, and a need to find a sense of unity with others and a spiritual sense of purpose. For many, finding the spiritual purpose behind something allows the banal frustrations of ordinary life to be a bit easier. Jupiter in Pisces increases our interest in the spiritual and spiritual modalities! However, Pisces can be a rather deceptive sign, so I urge everyone to be careful of what they put their blind trust in.
On a more social note, Venus moves out of Capricorn and into social Aquarius. During this 3-week period, the urge for us all to become a bit more social will bring out the friendliness of even the most passive introverted individuals. We all want to connect in a broader capacity when Venus is in Aquarius, because the ability to express our opinions and ideas with others is vastly important. However, Aquarius is not known for its emotional intensity or even deep intimacy, therefore those of us that are more feeling oriented could find ourselves a bit distanced in relationships over the next few weeks. This is a great time to expand our social networks, and to go out and spend time with like minded individuals.
Enjoy Your Week!
