Visible Planets: Morning: Saturn
Evening: Venus

Prepare yourselves for the year's first total solar eclipse – not visible in the Rocky Mountain West – which takes place on Jan. 26th @ 12:55 a.m. MST in the early degrees of revolutionary Aquarius. For all, this translates as a time of great awakening and New Age awareness. We are all starting fresh, whether we realize it consciously or not. Look around and see the changes happening in and all around you. Get together with people you respect and admire. Recognize the power of friendship and collective effort. Think about service to humanity and what you have to give. Also take note of Chinese New Year 4704, Year of the Ox, which begins at sunset following the Aquarius New Moon. Good luck and may the evolutionary force of knowledge and the persevering power of the ox be with you.

Aries (Mar. 21-Apr.19)

Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
An overload of planets in Aquarius certifies and guarantees your personal involvement and interconnectedness with the world this week. You are an integral part of what happens locally and globally. Accept the significant effect of your thoughts, words and deeds upon the planet. Be and do your best.

Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)
Solar eclipses funnel electromagnetic energy from the Sun to Earth and charge the noosphere with cosmically enlightened consciousness. Not all humans have the ability to translate this highly evolved information, but the Fish swim in the numinous waters of spirit. We are one and you are the teacher. Lead by example.
