“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”                                                                        – The U.S. Declaration of Independence, 1776

 “Government of the people, for the people and by the people.”
                                                                     – Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, 1863

“Relief, recovery and reform.”                 
                                        – F. D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, 1933

These are keywords for Aquarius and touchstones for our current times. Aquarius is the sign of the rebel and the revolutionary, the humanitarian and the innovator. It is also the evolutionary energy of collective consciousness and group effort. It is where we come together as friends and associates for the common good, think out of the box and actually change the world. Today’s social, political and economic conditions and challenges constellate the essence of our emerging new age – it’s all about globalization – and we simply cannot turn the tide. We are all in this together; white, black, red, yellow, Serbian, Russian, Israeli, Chinese, Australian, Native American, French, Egyptian, Indian, Chilean, man, woman and child. Whatever. And it’s the responsibility for each of us, individually, to identify the ways and means that we can be integral, contributing factors to the betterment and enlightenment of humankind, respect Mother Nature and support healthy, sustainable life on this planet.
     On Feb. 9th, at 7:50 a.m. MST, the Sun, Moon and Earth line up in the celestial aspect of a Full Moon lunar eclipse in the Aquarius/Leo polarity. This is where and when the individual heart aligns with the collective heart and we can feel the strong, electromagnetic charge of universal, cosmic love. May we join hands and hearts as friends and lovers of the earth and follow the light.
                                          “With liberty and justice for all” – Happy lunar eclipse!

Aries (Mar. 21-Apr.19)
This is the week of a lunar eclipse, and one that promises to be full of excitement, change and insight. Look for revelations in the areas of friendship and romance. Freedom and truth are themes. Stay intimately in touch with your heart and follow its wisdom. Give yourself plenty of space, move at a rapid pace and cultivate grace in your relationships.

Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)
An abundance of planetary activity in your career sector opens doors and heals wounds regarding professional history and identity. You may be asked to take on a leadership role in the family or on the job. Be a benevolent ruler as you utilize the proverbial iron hand in a velvet glove. Open your fist and assist those who need help. Be a friend to the world.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)
All men – and women – are created equal, and are endowed with certain inalienable rights. Among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Thus states the U.S. Declaration of Independence, and this week, expect to see this paradigm at work and play. Friendly get-togethers, idealistic thinking and overall freedom are themes. Have fun.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)
As the sun, moon and earth align precisely in the year’s first lunar eclipse, electromagnetic energies increase. As a child of the Moon, expect this week to be rather intense. You or your partners may require more freedom and space. Detach emotionally and let universal, cosmic forces take charge. It’s all about evolution, and it’s time to evolve.

Leo (July 23-Aug.22)
This week’s lunar ‘eclipse of the heart’ fuels inner fires and sparks the spirit when it comes to relationships. You may crave intensity and gravitate toward dramatic displays of affection and attention. Be cool and collected amidst the flames of passion. In other words, enjoy the heat, but don’t burn down the house. Express love and share the wealth.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep.22)
Chiron, asteroid ruler of Virgo, exactly conjuncts the Sun and opposes the moon shortly following this week’s lunar eclipse. This translates as an extremely fortuitous time to heal wounds of alienation, being different, weird or ahead of our time. Question the status quo and reclaim your power with humility, compassion and grace. Cultivate courage and do it right.

Libra (Sep. 23-Oct.22)
Full moons always highlight relationships, which is Libra’s life focus and forte. This week, expect that focus to be highly charged with excitement, love and light. Electric, eclectic people and spiritually fueled themes of collective freedom, inner divinity and co-creation run rampant. It’s time to think different, come together and give birth to a new, Aquarian world.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) It may be challenging to leave the casa, cave or closet and join force with the collective weird, but world causes beckon and inner voices shout out themes of brotherhood. You have talent to share and dreams to manifest. Sounds corny, but as consciousness opens, expands and evolves, join the party and shine the light on themes of liberty, joy and justice for all.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 20) This particular lunation is one of two “party” full moons of the year, and it promises to be an unusually vibrant and festive one. There is no separation between the body and spirit or mind and body. Emotions and feelings fuel action and reaction. Be as spiritually magnanimous and enlightened as possible. Rebel and reform, innovate and invent. Be you!

Capricorn (Dec. 21-Jan. 19)
As the Year of the Ox waxes its way through Aquarius, remember your roots and cultivate themes of patience and perseverance. Things will not always go the way you think is best, but it’s imperative that you realize you simply are not the one in control. Cosmic, universal forces trump selfish agendas and ego-based desires. Surrender, let go and let God.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Happy birthdays continue as the sun and moon align in your sign for 2009’s first lunar eclipse. Celebrate life with gusto and goodness. Cultivate themes of health, happiness and sobriety. It’s time to honor your ancient planetary ruler, Saturn, and your new age radical, Uranus. Combine self-discipline with invention. Remember, perseverance furthers.

Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)
“Government of the people, by the people and for the people” are Lincoln’s now famous words, spoken at Gettysburg in 1863. Today, we invoke this principle and remind ourselves that we cannot separate ourselves from our brothers and sisters. We are each individual contributing pieces of the whole. Accept responsibility and do your best.
