This Week

Picture
Sunday Jan. 17: Today is one of the weightiest days of the year as Jupiter is square to Uranus. Things may get blown out of proportion, but it’s a day that rushes along like the wind. January 17th is a great day  for a birthday. Jim Carrey is 59.  Betty White is 99. And Mohammad Ali was born on this day in 1942.

Monday Jan. 18: At 2:07 in the middle of the night, the Moon moves into Aries. Things become a bit defiant. Fortunately, that is tempered by friendly aspects from both Jupiter and Saturn. Mark Messier celebrates birthday #60 today. He is the only player in any sport to have captained two different teams to league championships.

Tuesday Jan. 19: It’s the first day of Aquarius as the Sun moves from earthy Capricorn into airy Aquarius at 3:39 this afternoon. This brings a total of four planets in Aquarius: Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter and now the Sun. Soon to be followed  by Venus in February. It’s time for change! One of the World’s most gifted entertainers and dedicated philanthropists, Dolly Parton celebrates her 76th birthday today.

Wednesday Jan. 20: It’s a challenge, as First Quarter Moon days routinely are. This one is extra challenged as Mars and Uranus make a conjunction in Taurus, a conjunction whose effects may roll into tomorrow. Today, stand-up comedian and satirist, host of Real Time with Bill Maher , yes, it’s his birthday. Bill Maher is 65.
Thursday Jan. 21: Today, Mars is conjunct Uranus at 6° Taurus. Mars conjunct Uranus in Taurus is a very important transit because it is the first Mars-Uranus conjunction in Taurus since 1942 - so this is a completely new Martian energy very few of us have ever witnessed or recall. With Mars conjunct Uranus in Taurus, you’ll ‘probably’ get to see the angry and explosive side of Taurus. Think of a bull fighting a matador. The muleta with the red cloth hanging is Mars. Mars and Uranus are further triggered by a square to Jupiter and a conjunction with the Moon. This is NOT an energy to be messed with. Mars’ anger can turn into rage and Uranus can easily blow things out of proportion. The desire to act from your deepest values is so powerful, that you will go beyond common sense or what’s socially acceptable. Mars will give you the drive, and Uranus will inspire you, and as a result you can achieve things that you otherwise never thought were possible. And it was Jan. 21, 1978 that the Bee Gees ‘Saturday Night Fever’ album reached No. 1. It would stay there for 24 weeks!

Friday Jan. 22: The Moon in Taurus trines both Venus and Pluto (both in Capricorn), making for a charming and practical end to the week. Willpower and charm are arm in arm. It was one year ago today that China locked down the entire City of Wuhan in an attempt to corral the corona virus which had already taken the lives of 17 and over 500 infections.

Saturday Jan. 23: Today, the Sun is conjunct Saturn at 4° Aquarius. We have one Sun-Saturn conjunction each year, and that’s our yearly opportunity to birth a new Saturn project. Saturn is the planet of hard work, determination, commitment, and mastery. In what type of project would you like to attract this type of energy? No great thing has ever been built without Saturn. So, if you want to build something great, you want to tap into Saturn’s energy today. Today is the seventieth birthday of Chesley ‘Sully’ Sullenberger. After landing a plane full of passengers on the Hudson River in Manhattan due to birds clogging the engines, he was fired for not following protocol. He later won a court case and Clint Eastwood made a film about it with Tom Hanks in the starring role.

And that is AonA for this week. Next time we have Jupiter Square Saturn and the Sun in Aquarius.
So, until then, shine on!
