DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE

 “But, said Alice, the world has absolutely no sense, who's stopping us from inventing one?”

Lewis Carrol, "Alice in Wonderland"

Welcome to 2013; we lived through the end of the Mayan Calendar, Storms and endless upsets. 2012 showed us the madness that lives behind the kindest of eyes, and the hero that resides in the everyday person.  There have been moments where we all shocked ourselves, good and bad. We are all reeling, and wondering when things are going to settle down and get back to “normal”.

Sorry folks. That is just not going to happen. We all know too much, and cannot go back to bliss that ignorance provides. We are aware of so much more than we were this time last year.  However, the Universe always offers us a gift.

The year ahead is going to be very water based, with Jupiter entering Cancer at the end of June, Saturn in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces. This brings us many blessed Grand Trines in Water signs. This year we will see women rise to prominence, as well an over all purification of our selves, society and our bodies. The Eclipse series between Scorpio and Taurus this year compounds that message.

Things will still clash and burn with the ongoing Uranus/Pluto squares in Aries and Capricorn; the individual consciousness duking it out with the status quo. You may be shocked when you realize which side of the debate you are on.

However, never fear; the universe is going to grant us a Grand Sextile as well as the Grand Trine; so many planets, even the ones that are fighting; will work together to bring healing and peace to Planet Earth and us.

It starts with January 2013. The month and the year opens up with a beautiful, blessed trine between Mars and Jupiter; this kind of aspect gives us all a sense of hope, faith, peace, and the feeling we can get through anything. However, once Mercury and Venus enter Capricorn followed by the New Moon In Capricorn on January 6 and 11, everything slows down to a grinding halt. The theme is productivity. Things may feel delayed, and goals may seem unreachable. Do not worry, this is just the universe asking you to rest, and make sure all your projects are up to par.

On January 19, the Sun and Mercury enters Aquarius, and things pick up speed. After this, we have the Moon and Mars being cranky with Pluto, a showy Full Moon in Leo and some nice Jupiter aspects; the rest of January will be a grab bag, often having you wishing for the quiet of the early days of 2013. The month ends with Venus joining the Sun in Aquarius, Mars swimming into Pisces as well as Jupiter moving out of Retrograde. These movements herald a wave of optimism and playfulness. After the end of January, things heat up for us all.

Enjoy the quiet, and the wild of January.
