Welcome to the final Air sign in the zodiac, AQUARIUS. It is ruled by Uranus as well as Saturn. This gives these unusual souls the ability to be structured as well as completely inventive and carefree. It is the final communicative sign that feels the need to tell it all to everyone. This sign also rules the ankles giving them the ability for fast movement and they can change direction in a flash.

These fast-moving people are often seen as radical as they see change through a lens that is ahead of the times we live in. They view communication as the ultimate mode of getting their ideas across to the public. They do this through movies, television, print media, computers and all other forms of communication. They like to do things in a group endeavor rather than a lone effort. It rules the eleventh house in the horoscope which identifies itself with large groups and organizations, as well as friends. Aquarians are noted for the friendships that they cultivate. They often have trouble with one on one relationship so they often stay single longer than most of us.

Aquarius is also a fixed sign that gives them the ability to finish the tasks that they start. They can be so hypersensitive to the group energy, and feel the need to be accepted so they respond to what they think is the correct response rather than go inside to respond to their own feelings. They prefer to think rather than feel. These naturally outgoing souls are the Peace Corp volunteers and the Food Bank organizers. They can be very good at running organizations as they have their pulse on the heartbeat of life.

Their humanitarian nature can captivate others as they deliver what they say that they will do. Their comfortable nature allows them to see the difficult side of life and decide what they can do about their discomfort. They are easily acceptable as they do not pose a threat to others as they discover what is needed in any situation. The Aquarian is usually very kind and realizes that not everyone is as interested in the details of how one got to where they are, as they are.

Jennifer Aniston, Justin Timberlake, Ashton Kutcher, Mischa Barton, Paul Newman, Minnie Driver, Christina Ricci, Jerry O’Connell, John Travolta, Paris Hilton, Wilmer Valderrama, Geena Davis, Oprah, Sheryl Crow, Shakira, Heather Graham, Matt Dillon, Mena Suvari, Seth Green, Tiffani Thiessen, Skeet Ulrich, Axl Rose, Burt Reynolds, Denise Richards, Garth Brooks, Diane Lane, Chris Rock, Ziyi Zhang, and our own Pat, Tisha, and Kelly (16) McGovern and Mary Koon.

What the Planets are Doing...

The Sun moves into Aquarius on January 20th. Our sense of freedom is called into action. Thinking becomes mandatory during this time.

There is a Full Moon on January 22nd. Time to let go of those unnecessary habits that we all need to release.

January 24th Venus moves into Capricorn. Money can become very important as well as status in our little world. Venus is not necessarily happy in this very structured sign. She likes to float free and does not like to be told what to do as Capricorn would prefer.

Pluto enters Capricorn on January 25th. It retrogrades back into Sagittarius for about six months in 2008 and then in November of 2008 it stays in Capricorn for about 16 years. Capricorn rules the government and big business. Guess what will be altered during this time of transformation. Get a grip all you Capricorn’s as change will become mandatory.

Mercury begins its retrograde cycle on January 28th and will end on February 18th. It really ends the cycle on March 10th. Do not buy a computer or a car or any electronic equipment. Communication can become a bit muddled, so try and make yourselves clear. It may actually work.

On February 6th, there is a Solar Eclipse. This event happens about two times a year and places the focus on where ever Aquarius falls in your personal chart.

On February 17th, Venus enters Aquarius. The romance of our humanitarian spirit can begin to unfold. Flirtation is the new order for this time.
