Week of January 20-27, 2013

This week starts under the aegis of the newly transited SUN into the sign of Aquarius, seconded by Mercury, a fun and exciting, energizing duo to witness!
As if in a playful race, mischievous Mercury zips ahead of the Sun in Aquarius during the next several days, almost like it's driven to win. First, Mercury aligns itself in a few fun-filled transits (what astrologers call a Full Mercury); then, three days later, the Sun follows suit. But the best news here is that you're the one who really wins!

The sequence of alignments continues on January 22 with an alignment between Mercury and Uranus (ruler of Aquarius), so prepare yourself for a fountain of witty comments, vibrant conversations, and inventive ideas. A footloose and fancy-free mood will rule the day!

The next day, January 23, signals Jupiter's turn to convene with Mercury, and you'll boldly go where you may have never gone before: Right into a potential line of fire to share your views on a matter of importance. But guess what? Your opinion will be well-received -- and you may even help boost morale!

Then, on January 25 and 26, the Sun comes along to meet those same planets in that same order, delivering even more adventure and good news. You'll feel tensions ease up, especially if you take advantage of this opportunity to pull yourself out of a rut and step into the unknown -- even if it's just a small step. New doors of opportunity will open before you!

Finally, Mercury squares Saturn on January 25, providing a few moments of frustration. Conversational sparks will fly...for good or bad, so keep this energy moving but under control at all times. It won't be long before you're back to focusing on the excitement of the moment!

With this much good fortune coming your way, you won't want to let any mental blocks slow you down!


THE event of the week is the Full Moon in Leo on the 26th! Brace yourself and see how things will unfold:)


If you are Leo Ascendant like me, this Leo Fool Moon will give you the drama you like, event hough there is no sure way to anticipate in which direction it will go.
The full Moon in Leo, opposes the Sun and Mercury in Aquarius. That’s the unpredictable part.  But what will make this period potentially explosive is that Saturn in Scorpio squares the Sun, Moon and Mercury.
Saturn pressures whatever it touches.  Aquarius is a rebel. Leo is royal and creative and does not like peasants telling them to tone it down. You can see how problems may arise, but wonderful things may be born of this as well. Remember the culprits involved: you can dig deep (Saturn in Scorpio) for a creative (Leo) spark (Aquarius) of an idea (Mercury).  Its also a good time to change your mind.
These elements create a strong square, but with Venus ruledTaurus on the other side of the square, things will be easier to manage and fuses will not get shortened. The other good news is that the square between Uranus and Pluto is not as inflammable at this time, and while Mars is in Aquarius (sudden violence), he is not really badly aspected.

This makes me believe that while some may see their egos crushed, and people may call each other narcissists (or worse!) back and forth, the potential negative energy will be contained. 
This Full Moon falls on a Saturday night, so forget about the planetary mayhem and schedule a date or plan watching an interesting, suspence movie thriller a la Hitchcock.


That is it for this weekly prediction.
