The Stars This Week - 01/01/07 - 01/07/07
This week provides a mixture of the practical and the innovative with the Sun's sextile to eccentric Uranus on January 2 and Mercury making the same aspect on January 4. When relationship planet Venus heads into independent Aquarius on January 3, you'll be ready to leave some of your work behind and invest in your social life. Mercury and the Sun come together in a conjunction on January 7, and everything you've been thinking about begins to come together into a solid plan.
January 2: Sun sextile Uranus
Take the hardworking energy of the Capricorn Sun and add the inspired originality of Uranus in Pisces and your world can't help but open up. People help you create opportunities, and you'll want to make changes that enhance your life. It's time to think outside the box. So whether you seek a promotion at work, feel like heading off to a spiritual retreat or want to sign up for a computer class -- do it! Let's face it: You're ready for a change.
January 3: Venus enters Aquarius
Looking for a kindred spirit? The person who opens your heart and can actually carry on a conversation with you is perfectly represented by Venus, the planet of love and relationship, entering Aquarius, the premiere sign of friendship. This is a great time to place yourself in environments where you will meet people who share your interests. So, attend a book signing if you love to read, get a museum membership if you love art, or take a ballroom dancing class if you love to dance. There's a saying: The stars impel but don't compel. Loosely translated: You've got to get out there and help yourself!
January 4: Mercury sextile Uranus
Mercury symbolizes the personal thinking process. Electric Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury, representing the universal or group mind. When Mercury entered Capricorn in December, your mind zeroed in on the practical, material aspects of your life, and you examined your life goals in terms of what you want to achieve. With Uranus now in the mix, your thinking process speeds up. You may need to write down everything you're thinking so you don't forget it. New ideas, conversations, agreements and plans provide exciting opportunities you'll want to make the most of.
January 7: Sun conjunct Mercury
You should be feeling quite pragmatic with this conjunction in serious Capricorn, as wild speculations and impulsiveness settle into a much more thoughtful attitude. This is a perfect time to review your plans and ideas as you contemplate which ones make the most sense. You can now reap the benefits of many of the conversations, agreements and ideas that occurred over the last couple of months. Your opinions and ideas have the power to move you forward. This is also marks a beginning -- as all conjunctions do -- and a time to make new plans with fresh ideas.
