The Stars This Week: "Time to Rebuild" - January 21 - January 27, 2008

Time to Rebuild

01/21/07 - 01/27/07 (sic)

As Jupiter in Capricorn forms a beneficial trine to hard-working Saturn in Virgo on January 21, you're ready to improve your social and economic circumstances. The full Moon in Leo on January 22 helps you to be bold. Then, relationship planet Venus enters commitment-focused Capricorn on January 24. But the big news is Pluto's entrance into Capricorn on January 25, when a major overhaul begins.

January 21: Jupiter trine Saturn

This is an exceptionally harmonious aspect, with the two social planets of expansion (Jupiter) and contraction (Saturn) in the signs of the worker (Virgo) and the builder (Capricorn). This bodes well for social and economic investment not only for counties and towns but also for individuals. In your own life, you can improve your lifestyle significantly. Make sure you take advantage by setting goals and seizing opportunities that are all around you. In general this is an aspect that favors long-range planning.

January 22: Full Moon in Leo

The full Moon in Leo is always a time of culmination, so make sure you put your heart and soul into whatever you do. Full Moons -- always an emotional time anyways -- are intensified by Leo's bravado. Respecting yourself and others is important, so pay attention to how you treat those around you. But most of all ... have fun! Go out to the movies, throw a party or grab the kids and head to an amusement park. Work needs to be balanced with play.

January 24: Venus enters Capricorn

Enough exploration! As Venus enters earthy let's-build-something Capricorn, your relationship focus turns to commitment. You only want to invest your time and energy into relationships that have a future. Capricorn loves being constructive, so now is the time to build a solid relationship that brings you happiness.

January 25: Pluto enters Capricorn

On January 25, Pluto ends its 13-year transit through belief-driven Sagittarius, and enters achievement-oriented Capricorn. This is arguably the most important planetary event of the year, shifting the focus on ethics, religion and travel to a focus on building and accomplishment. Whenever Pluto changes signs, people's obsessions change as well. Responsibility and self-reliance become major themes in the years ahead, making this a time to improve outmoded, bankrupt systems.

Especially the Pluto information. I've had the feeling we need to develop close knit communities and rely upon ourselves and our neighbors for more and more of our things. In a way, it is a contraction of our world--but a good one, where each can stand, tall and independent, rather than relying upon (and exploiting) others.
