Astrology Forecast Jan 5 - 11th 2014

Please note that these aspects may be affecting people 2-3 days before & after aspect perfects on dates below.


Sunday, Jan 5 2014 Sun Opp Jupiter
15°Cp27' D 15°Cn27' R
The urge to grow in ways or areas that may present problems. Efforts to do too much. The urge to travel. Growth-stress. Overconfidence. Overoptimism. Overload. Awareness of moral or legal issues. Awareness of differences in opinion.


The week starts off with moral, political and/or legal issues dominating the scene.  Leaders and other authority figures may exaggerate things or issues concerning them may become huge.  There is a tendency to  try to do too much and this may become an issue. Also overspending and overindulging may cause problems.  Being mindful of not making mountains out of mole hills while also trying to avoid being overly optimistic in one's endeavors today is advised.  Now is not the time to make any long term plans as they may not be realistic enough.  However, this is a good time for researching options with education, publishing, foreign affairs and traveling while waiting until later to make any final decisions.  This can be a lazy time in general and a good time to relax and take it easy.




Monday, Jan 6 2014 Mercury Sxt Saturn
20°Cp49' D 20°Sc49' D
Rational and logical thinking. Concentration and focus. Organization. Serious communication. Agreeable solitude.

Monday is an excellent day to comb over facts and figures.  Thinking is clear-headed and logical.  This is an excellent time to research finances and/or hidden matters.  Organizing and choosing the best options.  A good time for making business decisions and career opportunities.  This is an auspicious time for creating new resumes or other documents related to career or public standing.  Writing, communications, document and agreements made now will be long-lasting and possibly permanent.


Tuesday, Jan 7 2014 Mercury Cnj Venus
23°Cp22' D 23°Cp22' R
Flowing social conversation. Spirit of compromise and agreement. Harmonious interaction. Clarity. Appreciation of beauty.

This is a good time for meetings, for either personal or business reasons (especially if you are returning to past business or personal relationships with Venus retrograde.)  Any negotiations should run more smoothly today as communications are more amicable than usual.  Mercury and Venus in the business sign of Capricorn favors communications centering around business and money.   Mercury separating from Saturn before conjoining Venus indicates that both parties would have done their research before approaching each other to make some sort of deal.   This is a good time for creative writers, beauty consultants, finances, and diplomatic overtures.



Wednesday, Jan 8 2014 Mars Sqr Jupiter & Mercury at Critical Degree
15°Li02' D 15°Cn02' R
A fighting spirit for a moral or ethical cause. Overexcitement. Overconfidence. Lack of moderation. Inclinations to hasty actions and opinions. Competitive reactions. Muscular action. Clash of philosophy or principles. Lawsuits.

This is not a good time for starting or engaging in debates or quarrels as it may quickly escalate into more problems.  Mars in Libra is in detriment which does not make it weak, it makes Mars act inappropriately.  This means that legal issues, divorces, and other differences between people could cause some to become irascible and waste massive amounts of energy in unproductive ways. While Jupiter can help to keep the anger from becoming violent or dangerous, the expansiveness of Jupiter's nature may cause small issues to become larger ones.  This may mean, for example, that a small news story or online argument spreads quickly around the world and becomes exaggerated or overemphasized.  Now is a good time for using that extra energy towards higher learning, traveling or exercise while keeping in mind not to overdo things.  Gathering information and engaging in physical activities could give more results than usual.

Mercury will be at 29 degrees of Capricorn on Friday & Saturday.  This unstable time when a planet is just about to change signs can cause some new crisis in the news or for some story to become viral.  Traveling and communicating may become a hot topic in the news as well as any government or other political policies.  This is not a good time to initiate negotiations, legal agreements, or other communications as things may spiral out of control.

The weeks ends with four aspects on Saturday, Jan 11 2014:

1. Venus Sxt Saturn  21°Cp14' R 21°Sc14' D
2. Sun Cnj Venus 21°Cp11' D 21°Cp11' R
3. Sun Sxt Sat 21°Cp15' D 21°Sc15' D
4. Mercury Entering Aquarius
   

Mercury will be at the critical 29th degree until late afternoon EST.  During this time both Venus and Sun will form a weak positive aspect of opportunity with Saturn.  This could result in come building up of creative, financial or artistic ventures.  This may also indicate improvements in diplomatic or legal negotiations.  This is an auspicious time for any projects that concern the elderly, real estate, prisons, farmers, miners, construction workers, morticians or the disadvantaged.  Saturday would be a positive day to initiate or work in these areas.  Mercury being at a critical degree indicates that there may be  some viral news or stories making a splash.  It is not an auspicious time to sign any contracts, hold meetings or introduce new policies.
