If ya' try sometime, ya' get what you need

by James Jarvis, M.A.

With Venus moving into the sign of Aquarius just after the New Year, followed by Mercury and the Sun, it’s time to re-think core values. Capricorn, the sign representing traditional values, gives way to Aquarius, representing present moment awareness. Ask yourself: What values no longer serve me? How can I let go of the past so I can be more fully in the present?”

The full Moon at 12 degrees Cancer 1/3 (8:58am) helps you discover your needs for nurturing and comfort. Most of us are better at nurturing other people than ourselves. This month the focus is on “nurturing the nurturer.” What is it that you need for yourself?

Venus in Aquarius 1/3-28, helps you envision a new paradigm of relationship that is based on interdependence and freedom rather than co-dependence. Let Venus in Aquarius help open your heart to greater intimacy and authenticity in all of your relationships.

Mars in Sagittarius trines Saturn in Leo 1/7-9 and conjoins Pluto in Sagittarius 1/11-14 concentrating your willpower into projects that inspire and serve others. On the other hand, these combinations can indicate that your tolerance for others is at a breaking point. Find a cause you believe in and take action. This will help shift the energy from frustration to empowerment.

With Mercury in Aquarius 1/15-2/2, the emphasis is on liberating (Aquarius) the mind (Mercury). Use Mercury in Aquarius to help open your mind to new possibilities and insights. Be willing to act on any “illuminations” or intuitive insights you might receive during this period.

Mars in Capricorn 1/16-2/26, gives you the ability to concentrate your will so you can manifest your goals. To manifest you must be willing to set up such a strong intention that the universe knows you are serious!

With the new moon at 28 degrees Capricorn 1/18 (11:02pm), the challenge this month is to approach life with a pragmatic and realistic focus. The new moon in Capricorn asks you to tune into your natural self-reliance and take the necessary steps to create inner and outer security.

The Sun moving into Aquarius on 1/20 (6:01am) helps heal any wounds around alienation or not fitting in. It’s an opportune time to serve the collective by sharing your insights and visions of how the world can be transformed through positive and progressive change.

Venus traveling through the sign of Pisces 1/27-2/21 brings awareness of how you can be more accepting of yourself. No matter what you have done — or failed to do — you are always loved in the eyes of Spirit. Let the unconditional acceptance of Venus in Pisces permeate every cell of your being.

For Sun, Moon and Rising Signs
Aries 3/21-4/20 You can accomplish a lot this month if your efforts are dedicated to a “higher” cause. Will power and drive alone won’t achieve the best results. Surrendering your attachments to the final outcome will.

Taurus 4/21-5/21 Deeper understanding of your core values is at hand. Perhaps you’re feeling more compassionate and open-hearted. Personal healing occurs as you discover ways of serving those who are less fortunate.

Gemini 5/22-6/20 Make sure you have a way to capture all the new ideas flooding in. Downloading this information will help clear your mind. With a clear mind you will be able to communicate ideas more effectively.

Cancer 6/21-7/20 The full moon in Cancer on 1/3 brings calming energy to your emotions. You may be feeling over-whelmed, over-stimulated and way too busy. Try to minimize input and maximize nurturing self-care.

Leo 7/21-8/22 Feeling impatient with others or bored with your daily routine? If so, it’s time for a change. Finding a physical outlet for pent-up energy or starting new activities that are intellectually stimulating will help.

Virgo 8/23-9/22 You’re being asked to develop greater faith and trust in relationships. Not everyone needs things figured out in advance the way you do. Learn to go with the flow and trust that everything is unfolding perfectly.

Libra 9/23-10/22 The inherent love of beauty is so key to who you are. This month it wants to be expressed through your inner or outer home. If you’ve wanted to bring serenity and beauty to either realm, now is the time.

Scorpio 10/23-11/21 You have enough ambition and drive for several people now. The challenge is to remember you don’t need do it all yourself. Even though very capable, you’re part of a larger plan that’s coming through you.

Sagittarius 11/ 22-12/20 Feeling pulled between the quest for more knowledge and true wisdom? Maybe it’s time to stop studying and just start being the wisdom you are. With Jupiter in Sagittarius, this is your year to share your truth.

Capricorn 12/21-1/20 You may be feeling a bit discouraged if your vision and reality aren’t meeting eye-to-eye. By not judging current circumstances, you will be able to discover new ways of bringing your vision into reality.

Aquarius 1/ 21-2/18 You already have a progressive spirit but this month your intuitive sense of what’s next is accelerated. Pay attention to ideas that speak to collective needs or future trends. And make sure to write them down!

Pisces 2/19-3/20 If you’ve been feeling drained emotionally, it’s probably time for an “energy drain” audit. Do you have people around or circumstances that suck your energy? Resolve these issues and your energy will return.
