It's freedom time again, and WELCOME TO AQUARIUS, one of the signs of freedom. Aquarians have the need to communicate and not to just one person at a time, but to a larger group of people. Or they can be very serious and dogmatic. Interesting that these people can become both, serious, while the other type needs to be out going

It is ruled by both Saturn and Uranus. Both very different energies and very conflicting energies. It is an Air sign and the symbol is a woman holding a vessel ready to pour waters of a new life. It is a fixed sign which allows them to be rather stubborn, when they think they are right, which is most o the time. Aquarian's are the sign of the individual as a cooperative person in a group setting.They are generous and value social relationships. They really value what a group can accomplish, and work towards that end with enthusiasm.

They generally concern themselves with the function of the good in people rather than their own need for good within themselves. The glyph for this unique sign is two horizontal wavy lines which sends a message that reminds us of fast moving energy. The water being poured from the vessel is highly charged and makes these souls ready for the changes that it brings. Innovative change is the mark of the liberal Aquarian.

These remarkable people either feel ahead or behind the time. The quality of communication runs rampant in the Aquarian, whether you have asked for information it or not.

Intertwined is usually the nature of the Aquarian, both traditional and futuristic. They love groups of people and work well in that environment. Television and the theatre work especially well for them as they can reach a larger audience, and they require team effort besides. The Aquarian is the best of all the fixed signs as they have a little of each of them within their personality. The kindness of Taurus, the courage of Leo, the scientific mind of Scorpio ... All rolled into one energetic persona. Aquarian's have the ability to transcend thought and put it into form.

Idealistic almost to a fault, Aquarian's have a very long attention span which allows them to integrate many ideas that they either accept or reject. If it appeals to their fine sense of awareness then they accept the idea, if not they discard it with no regret.

Aquarian's are easy spirits and responsible and capable at work and in family matters so they are usually very successful people, especially if they have an able spouses. They are super colorful and always interested in everything … this is despite their innate curiosity about life and people and the why things work this way. Aquarian's have an energy that draws people in … HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all you Aquarian's.

What the Planets are Doing...

THE SUN ENTERS AQUARIUS on Monday, January 19th, bringing us a taste of relief and the need to have more leeway in our lives. The day is shared with the celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King's day. The need to run free is especially profound during this time.

There is a Solar Eclipse on January 25th, which sets the trend for the next six months. Where ever Aquarius is in your chart is where you will feel this energy. If it hits a planet in your chart, then you will feel the effects deeply.

On February 4th Mars enters Aquarius and gives us Aquarians a boost in energy. We can become more directed in our aspirations.

It then makes a conjunction to Jupiter on February 17th which can offer us greater opportunity for growth and development. It can also allow us to want to start up a new project.

Mercury stations and goes direct on January 31st. What a breather and a grateful way to end the month.

On February 5th there is a Saturn/ Uranus conjunction opposition. This can have the effect of breaking old patterns. To get a better overview go to www.lunarplanner.com and see my friend Nick’s detailed description of the aspect and all the energies that surround this event. There many new small planets that comprise this event and give it a greater effect. This opposition is in another hard aspect to the Moon giving it an even greater impact. The Moon rules the public as well as the feminine energy in all of us. Power, power and more power.

There is Lunar Eclipse on February 9th very early in the morning at 6.49 am PST. This is a great time for letting go of unnecessary things, people etc. in our lives. You might also see what the previous eclipse has in store for you, but don't count
on it.

On Valentines Day, Mercury goes into Aquarius, where it will be very happy. It loves being in this very intellectual sign so it can expand its knowledge and go anywhere with it's mind.

There is a lot happening this month so hang on for the ride.
