Week of Jan. 22, 2010
Written by: Michael O'Connor
Tip of the Week:
The Sun is now in Aquarius as of January 20th joining Venus, Neptune and Chiron. But the really big news is Jupiter in Pisces as of January 17. Uranus is the planet that rules Aquarius and it too is in Pisces. This mix of Aquarius and Pisces offers deep and beautiful expressions. Many of the world’s greatest artists in music, painting, dance, film, and photography have this combination in their charts. Astrology, astronomy, engineering and the sciences in general where intuitions weave with imaginations beyond reason and logic to invent and innovate also shares strong symbolic correspondences with these the 11th and 12th signs of the Zodiac. Jupiter in the mix increases the religious zeal and philosophical leaning. Jupiter is moving fast now and by early June will enter Aries less than a week after Uranus does. When these two actually meet at the first degree of Aries on June 8 important changes will be ignited. The first degree of Aries is powerful and symbolically corresponds to Spring Equinox and, more importantly, to sunrise and the beginning of a new day. Due to Jupiter and Uranus both turning retrograde in July they will again form two more conjunctions in the late degrees of Pisces, the first in September, the next in early 2011. The spiritual possibilities are significant with these important conjunctions now and in the future when the children born near these dates come of age. Amidst the many dramas of our times it is a blessing to witness such auspicious portents adorning the dawning Aquarian Age.
