Mercury is RETROGRADE from January 28th until February 18th. It’s effects can be felt for up to 3 weeks before and 3 weeks after in what I call the “shadow” period. If you’re a Virgo or Gemini, ruled by Mercury, this may be an exceptionally challenging time.
There are also two Eclipses this month. A Solar Eclipse on February 6th (New Moon) begins a 1 1/2 year cycle in Aquarius/Leo ushering in major change for those signs and Taurus’s and Scorpios. A Lunar Eclipse (Full Moon) on the 20th will be the last in the Virgo/Pisces cycle. Those 2 signs and Sagittarians and Geminis can finally complete their major change cycle within the next few months. Because Eclipse cycles and their effects last for months, I did not stress the energy on the specific days but instead tried to highlight what area of life each sign will be experiencing the most change.

Peace and Prosperity, Love and Light,

AQUARIUS
Happy Birthday to the sign that is progressive, enlightened, innovative and inspired! While some Aquarians are the classic ‘free spirits’, others are the complete opposite, sharing more in common with their neighbor Capricorn. Whether you’re unconventional or more traditional you all share an above average intelligence and love to be in what I call your “comfort zone”. Typically all Aquarians have a difficult time with change. You are one of the 4 fixed signs ~ Leo, Taurus and Scorpio being the others. These signs like to be in total control and can be extremely stubborn. The danger is not to get stuck in your own energy ~ staying too long in relationships, and out grown careers etc.
The afore mentioned Eclipse cycle has been tickling you since about November. It is time to shake things up a little or a LOT! If you don’t take it upon yourself to diversify, the Universe will do it for you. It will be a lot more pleasant for you to make (and control) the change yourself than to have it done to you, even though you’re the one sign most connected to the cosmos! Expect to move or alter your residence in the next year and a half. In addition you can expect major changes around relationships ~ it’s make or break time!
Destiny is working in your favor. This cycle affords you the opportunity to follow your dreams and goals and make them into reality. As you grow and expand, you may attract people who seek your guidance. Relationships can become difficult as others are working out their karma while you are excelling. As you raise your own vibration you will raise the vibration of those around you but only if they are open to it. You can not change people who don’t want to change themselves. Then we get back to the issue ofletting go ……
Your psyche and unconscious are beginning a major purging. Deep secrets are being dredged up over the next 15 years and your subconscious may feel over powered. Be aware of strong hidden enemies and self destructive tendencies. It’s an excellent time to invest in psycho therapy or a past life regression. You’ll be feeling so intense that your physical health can be impacted so take care of YOU!
For years, you or a male close to you, may have experienced physical or mental health issues. You have also dealt with deception or self delusion, disappointment or just plain dissolving of something important. While this influence is still in affect for a few more years, it’s also an opportunity to reach your highest spiritual potential. Your innate intuition is taking on a more sensitive side. Your perception may not be so clear but your sensitivity is high so pay attention to how you FEEL. It’s also a good time to abstain from alcohol and drugs, including prescriptions. You’re very prone to addiction now as a form of escapism.
This is an excellent year to explore mind travel, metaphysics, and tap into your higher conscious! After the 18th, communication and mental clarity will seem clearer and you’ll be feeling very optimistic.
The focus shifts to finances at this time which continue to remain unpredictable. Use your insight and innovation when making purchases. It’s not a good time for investments until after July. Partners could be suffering financially at this time resulting in a lack of passion. Take the next 6 months to go over joint affairs.
Romance, children and creativity are finally regenerated now making you want to go out and play!
