When I looked at your chart for the month, the one thing that stood out was that all planets apart from Jupiter in your solar 8th house, occupy the houses 1-6 in your solar chart. When so many planets occupy what is called the Northern Hemisphere, we tend to be a little bit more private and focused on the development of our own personalities and identities. During this time, you may put more emphasis on keeping things private or at least not feeling the need to share too much. Your outlook is more subjective than it may be at other times which of course can lead to a great sense of ‘I get it’!
This trend of self-realisation continues for you for the coming two years. The entry of the North node / Rahu on 15th January 2013 into your sign only puts even more of an emphasis on this. Generally speaking, for the next 18 months while Rahu is in Libra, many of us are seeking and even craving the best in one-on-one relationships and more balance in the house ruled by Libra in your chart. Our task is now to learn to share with others and get to know the other’s likes, dislikes, quirks, habits, routines, hopes, wishes and fears. Ultimately, lasting companionship based on true reciprocity is the goal over the next 1 ½ years, especially with Saturn in the same sign. It’s a time when we can achieve inner balance necessary for us to achieve our goals through partnerships cooperation with others. In Indian astrology, this placement is considered to magnify a passion for beauty, design, harmonious relationships, and social order. Rahu is insatiable and enlarges everything it touches, so some of us may take ‘risks’ and become a bit obsessive in wanting to achieve beautifully balanced, equitable social arrangements. Due to the insatiable nature of the Rahu, balancing multiple relationships, and keeping up a flawless public appearance becomes crucial. For you Libra, this shift takes place in your 1st house of self! You may at times feel like an outsider, especially with Saturn in the same sign but this is ok – who you are and how others see you is changing and coming to terms with the new you takes time. Now, Saturn in 1st solar house has settled there for the first time in 29 – 30 years. It’s the beginning of a new cycle and if you are old enough to remember when it came the last time round, think about what happened then. You may be faced with similar issues or circumstances but in a different way. This is your chance to digest what you have been carrying with you since that time and to let it go. Everything that is happening for you at the moments pushes you into a new direction so don’t let unnecessary thoughts, feeling and responsibilities hinder you. It’s a heavy transit and you may can be a bit more critical when it comes to yourself and others so be careful not to put up barriers around you that are too high for others to cross and connect with you. Saturn requires a lot of effort but you will see the results over time - slowly but surely. Talking about responsibility, there may be more responsibility for you in the years to come but this is simply a consequence of you outgrowing your past.
For
you, Saturn also rules your solar 4th house and in transit through
the 1st house, this can mean that you identify more with the
teaching or a parenting role – does this ring any bells?
As we progress into the month, your solar 3rd house energy is packed with planets. The 3rd house belongs to Gemini so there may be some more Mercurial qualities about the way you talk, you communicate in general, your phone may not stop ringing for the first half of January 2013. This is also one of the houses of deals and business (and busy-ness!) so you may be here, there and everywhere due to your job or maybe your children have a lot more going on than usual which sees you chauffeuring them around more than usual. This is an active time, you may be more curious and perhaps you find yourself not being able to concentrate on one subject for too long. You’re a bit like a sponge this month soaking up new experiences. Short-term travel is also on the cards....
The new Moon on 11th January at 27 degrees of Sagittarius in your 3rd house is an opportunity for you to start afresh and falls in the nakshatra (in Indian astrology, the chart is divided into 27 sections, each is one nakshatra) of Uttarashadha and quite simply symbolises victory. It’s also a competitive nakshatra that pushes us to achievements – but always in partnership with others. On the other hand, a new Moon in this nakshatra also means that if we can’t win or reach our goals very easily, we’ll find another path that allows us to achieve these dreams. In this context and in your 3rd house this can primarily relate to business deals – towards the end of the month, issues with loans and other people’s money should ease and progress so for me, the two things seem connected. Responsible for a boost in one of your money houses is Jupiter, who is moving forward again at the end of January and who rules your solar 3rd house.
Mars meanwhile is in your house of emotional wellbeing and consequently of happiness. We’re only happy when our emotions are in the right place and when you feel secure. Mars here can make you a bit restless and also quite quick off the mark when it comes to reacting to others’ comments or behaviour, so watch that tendency to overreact. On a different level, this energy also extends to everything going on around the place where you live. Maybe you’re moving home or are thinking about it. You’ll have the energy to do whatever you need to get things done around the home now. The last week in January and certainly February 2013 will be huge for your home environment anyway so maybe if you are planning a move or planning to buy a property that really will be a focus then.
The full Moon on 27th January then also falls into your solar in the area of your chart that rules the home and property. Full Moons are often turning points but as opposed to the new Moons, it’s a turning point that we’ve seen coming for some time or suddenly all the information we need is available to us and we’re ready to make a decision. This full Moon receives planetary support from Jupiter and Uranus so a lot of positive movement can be expected – again, this is amongst other things connected to other people’s resources (i.e. the Bank, if you’re applying for a mortgage!).
The last week of the month and in February is also a time when the focus is on romance and true love. Mars moves into your 5th house of fun and creativity putting you into a flirtatious mood. This of course means that attracting new partners seem a lot easier – the air around you is certainly changing. In any case, during this time, you will benefit a lot more from partnerships, both financially and emotionally. Be open and ready to commit yourself!
