Jupiter in Aries, Saturn Retrogrades
Jan. 20 to Feb. 18
The news that astrology has changed is a hoax! It’s another diversion from reality.

Sun enters Aquarius, Thursday (Mayahma, the Buddhist New Year). We leave the mountaintop of Capricorn and enter Aquarius, sign of serving humanity, to serve & in Pisces, to save. Saturday Jupiter enters Aries, an important shift, preparing us for Uranus’ entrance into Aries, March 11th. Aries is “all things new”, Jupiter expands, Uranus revolutionizes. Together they create “new ideas that become ideals” that bring forth the new culture & civilization. Helping us assess this is Saturn, Dweller on the Threshold, demanding discipline & attention to structure, retrograding (review before the new arrives) in Libra (creating Right Relations, new, sustainable, practical economic model). Saturn retros at 17.14 degrees (till June 12th, Pentecost, Holy Spirit as tongues of fire, new information, new minds, virtues & gifts to create the new world). It’s an exciting time.
ARIES: What’s happening in your home, with family and loved ones? Something from the past needs tending, a new structure perhaps, new disciplines. Created with love, of course. How is your biological family influencing your life now? Each of us, within our families, has the spiritual task of healing generational family wounds.
TAURUS: You’re the focus, speaker, leader, facilitator of the community/village you live within. You have patience with individual emotional vicissitudes, understand behavior patterns and different ray structures. You have the capacity to see the whole picture containing the many smaller ones. Your abilities bring individuals together, help them identify as a group.
GEMINI: The impulse, the message, the impressions being placed upon you to travel to a community (not anyone, a specific one) is becoming greater and greater. What is needed by you to follow this impress? Many of us are being “impressed” these days, by greater intelligences who, observing us, know what we need, know what others need, know who can fulfill those needs.
CANCER: You are participating in something with family, something personal? You continue to return to a place that either needs you or you need it. Perhaps, and most likely, it is both. You feel serious about a family situation, make plans to bring more discipline. The next six months you will consider the needed changes to be made.
LEO: Have you found your thoughts more serious, more concerned with rules and regulations? Are you feeling restricted by a certain relationship? Do you feel the need to run away, far away? Is someone or something waiting for you there? Is work more serious and is change needed there?
VIRGO: Take seriously the idea that you are of deep value. Also, be aware how your money and resources are used need reviewing. Is there enough to continue with your present/past lifestyle? If not, what needs to be changed, restrained, revitalized, added? And how can these be accomplished?
LIBRA: Soon you’ll feel a shift deeply inward, lasting for about six months where you assess responsibilities, review self-identity and self-image, and participate in the total transformation of the beliefs that have held you for so long. Your future is in the roots of the plants that you grow. So, as I wrote last week, begin your garden with herbs, medicinals, flowers (edible) and vegetables.
SCORPIO: It’s a good time, as the new world appears, to ask yourself Scorpio’s most potent questions. Always you seek the truth and your truth creates your philosophy, which constantly changes. Searching within, realigning beliefs and values, ask yourself what goals and dreams you hold. Do you have any left? Sometimes disappointment destroys them. You want reality.
SAGITTARIUS: Is your mind racing, full of future ideas and possibilities? Is there a bit of recriminatory thinking, of things you failed to do in the recent past? Shafts of both darkness and light flit through your life. These are the elements you are made of. We all are. I read a line of poetry by John Donne the other day that reminded me of you. “I am cunningly made, a universe of elements.”
CAPRICORN: As you continue to transform internally, your sense of self and communication transform, too. It’s important to be aware that Mercury is in your sign. Mercury in Cap can sound harsh to others. Astrologers know it’s not harshness, but practicality. Most of humanity isn’t astrology-wise or practical (yet). You may turn this upon yourself.
AQUARIUS: You’re in the community, sensing, feeling, discovering values and resources, assessing their usefulness in terms of your daily life and needs. There’s a quiet transformation taking place. You’re asking deep questions, the answers of which will alter the patterns of daily life. There are special friends around you trust and care for.
PISCES: A spiritual presence is making itself known, perhaps through your acts of kindness and care, sacrifice and love. It’s good to tell others about your spiritual tasks. That before you die (and that could be years from now), you are to have Right Relations with everyone and with all kingdoms.
