Money, money, money…makes the world go round. Certainly in the first half of January, it’s what keeps your world spinning. Mars, your co-ruler, is exalted in the 3rd house of communication, negotiation and business deals and remains there until 26th. You’ll really have the drive to ask for what you want as well as the tenacity to not take no for an answer. Often, this transit is also connected to short-distance travels and maybe you have the desire to get away for the weekend and catch some winter sun. However, in your case, I have a feeling it’s a little different this time round. Your 2nd house of earned income is chock-a-block with planetary energies. The Sun, Mercury, Pluto and from the 5th January, also Venus all gather in this house. You do have the power to attract a very handsome sum of money but it is also likely that your attitude towards your finances continues to change. You do have the opportunity at the moment to get the salary you have been working towards or increase your clients base, especially in February and onwards, but somehow I also feel that maybe it’s more to do with you attitude towards cash that is transforming. The reason I say that is because you are finishing up a long cycle over the next 2 – 3 years with Saturn in your 12th house. This is the house of letting go of the old and before you can let in the new. Neptune is in your solar 4th house of the past and your emotions. It kind of dissolves whatever it touches so you maybe a little unsure of who you are at the moment and you may idealise some of the memories you hold of your past. However, this is a non-materialistic planet to have in this house and although it may be confusing, it can also contribute to you changing how you feel about the outer world with all its materialistic demands.
The North node / Rahu changes signs on 15th January 2013, moving into the sign of Libra where it will remain for the next 18 months. During this time, 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 Sag, this shift takes place in your 12th house of behind the scenes activities and letting go. Along with the new Moon a few days earlier, on 11th January in the same house, it really is a time when get rid of what you don’t need anymore. Scorpio is a fixed water sign, so letting go of unwanted or outdated or unhealthy emotions is not always easy for you so do use this opportunity to become more aware of what this may concern. Over the next couple of years, you’ll then be confronted with events and situations that eventually make you shed those layers you don’t need anymore.
The full Moon on 27th January then falls into your solar in your 3rd house of siblings, communication, neighbours and short-distance travels. 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. The January 2013 full Moon is in a nice sextile to supportive Jupiter, a trine with innovative Uranus but also in a square to sobering Saturn. In your 9th house of higher education, long-distance travel, religion and spirituality and your personal beliefs may come under scrutiny. On a more mundane level, you may just be talking a lot about your beliefs or you’re planning a trip abroad. If you are travelling over this time, it will really help you expand your horizons.
The month then ends with Jupiter going direct on 31st January in your 7th house of partnerships. This is great news for couples who want to deepen their bond or for business partnerships to get back on the straight and narrow.
If you are single, then Uranus in your 5th house of love and romance which will remain there for a number of years, ensure that romances that have served their purpose are discarded more quickly than usual and the partners you choose are quite unusual or even eccentric. Alternatively, you may suddenly have a completely different idea of what self-expression means to you and how you go about it….you see, it all goes hand in hand with the changes you are experiences when it comes to your emotions and your past. Your future certainly looks very different and all you can do, is enjoy the ride!
