Aspects

I have been picking up for some time that this January will be very important historically, especially for the United Kingdom, and of course that also goes for you personally.  A sign of that comes in the early hours of the first day of the year, when Mars enters Aries.  So for January 1st, we have an influx of energy, which may register more strongly given it is the first day of the year (it may set the tone, at least for the month).  Seize the day, month and year by setting your New Year’s Resolutions, Affirmations, Intentions and Creative Visualizations when you first arise.  If necessary, prepare them the night before, unless you are involved in lively New Year’s Eve festivities.

The very next day (Wednesday 2nd) we have a counteracting aspect, in the form of a conjunction between the Sun and Saturn in Capricorn.  Whereas we may feel we can forge ahead on 1st, our unconscious blocks may come up the next day, in the form of negative thoughts or actual obstacles on our path which may reflect our doubts.  The Sun conjunct Saturn in Capricorn encourages us to take responsibility and think things through more thoroughly, whether we are planning an exit, a Brexit, or any other kind of radical move.  It is one thing to experience the total vision, but there are the details to sort and the implications, the effects on others, etc. to consider.  Once you have thought things through as much as you can, you can relax and ask your subconscious to work on the plan, and higher guidance to offer insight.

Friday (4th), early in the day, brings us a helpful trine between Mercury and Uranus, especially suitable for upgrading technological appliances.  We may receive new ideas about our path for 2019, embellishing our hopes and wishes from the first day of the year.  Lightbulb moments are possible.

In the evening, the Sun sextiles Neptune, making this the best day of the week.  Spiritual inspiration is available, whether through walking in nature, or listening to music, or engaging in creativity.  Something which touches you that day may inspire you to paint, or write a poem.

On the morning of Saturday (5th) Mercury enters Capricorn, from its sojourn in Sagittarius.  Cosy rosy thoughts and feelings from the Sagittarian mindset need to give way to practicalities, and what seems to be possible from the perspective of here and now.  This may mean modifying some of your original vision for the year, or tweaking it further.  Official documentation may need to be worked on, forms to fill, authorities to interview, etc.  Think methodically and systematically.

Happy New Year to All, and may the aspects serve you well!

The week in bullet points:

  • Tuesday – fresh energy!
  • Wednesday – stop and think
  • Friday – best day of the week
  • Saturday – apply your mind
