January 2015 horoscope - Aquarius

I follow the sidereal calendar; this is the January 2015 horoscope for birthdays from 13^th February to 14^th March or Aquarius Ascendants and Moons

The New Year begins with you with your ruler, Saturn, the taskmaster, no firmly positioned at the top of your chart, in the area to do with your vocation, profession and career – but essentially your whole life. It’s breakthrough time – eventually – but not just yet. Although you’re in an outgoing mood to start with, socialising, having some fun, making plans and spending time with friends, you soon begin to turn inwards and prepare for what’s to come. Part of this can be some sort of transformative healing process, perhaps a holiday where you can recharge the batteries and, importantly, gather your thoughts. The coming years will see you change focus, career and / or life path and attitudes towards a lot of things, now it’s your turn to start thinking about what that may be and how you think you want to tackle the next few months. You’ve developed a more sensitive and creative side in the past years and your naturally humanitarian nature has become more pronounced – this is being challenged now and where you have not seen through illusion or false ambitions, you’ll now have to take off the rose-tinted glasses. But equally, if you have been feeling like the victim or are actually being victimised, again, this attitude is being challenged and if it doesn’t come from you then, someone else will point it out to you. It may be an uncomfortable situation but it will kick-start a healing process for you.

As the planets move on in January and into your sign, you’ll certainly feel the attention being placed upon you but also a certain amount of pressure on yourself and between your public and your private life. Perhaps you are focusing too much on work and status at the moment that your home life or what you actually feel about certain things has to take a backseat. This is ok for a while but if you don’t allow yourself to face your true feelings, it turns into something else.

The full Moon on 5^th January in Gemini is a time for you to have a little bit of fun again, a contra-balance to what’s happening in your public life.  Although children and lovers may not necessarily be the source of that happiness at the moment, your creativity may be the substitute. This full Moon is in the nakshatra of Purnavasu, ruled by Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion. This is the nakshatra of the excellent, the good and the ‘blessed’ and the bright one. With Jupiter being the ruler of this nakshatra, it indicates wealth, goods, riches and property; it is ruled by the god of capital wealth or the god of life. It gives the ability to ‘create’ - in form and in structure – hinting at success in everything they undertaken now. This is the nakshatra of the natural educator with a love for world travel and a pronounced interest in religious belief systems, ritual traditions and despite everything, with a love for children. For you, this means that instead of focusing on what’s annoying you, take some time out to write, meditate, sing and do what brings you joy and feels relaxing.

With Mercury in the sign of Capricorn, you’ll also have a clearer idea and ability to order your thoughts – although not an overly emotional placement, at least, you’ll be able to reason rationally. But again, this is a great placement if you needed to concentrate on ‘being creative’. If you are working on a novel or some other writing project that takes a certain level of organisation and focus, this is your moment...at least until 21^st January. Mercury then goes retrograde from this day and until 12^th February 2015. The consequences or hiccups of this retrograde period can be felt until 4^th March 2015 – after this time, things to do with children, creativity, other people’s money, inheritance and shared resources becomes more straight forward again.

The new Moon on 20^th January in Capricorn is time to withdraw one the one hand and on the other, it’s time to focus on your health and the solution to certain issues and conflicts that have or are still underneath the surface – whether that’s with your partner or generally other people, depends on your individual situation.  But in any case, the end of the month sees you busy with work matters, career opportunities and perhaps even a promotion – after some negotiation and you having out in the hard work. Have a great month, Aquarius!
