Bonne Jour ! L Newman from Wake Up Call With Your
Astrological Forecast For the Week of January 17th
Aries: Question ? How many times can I say “ patience lesson” before you totally run out of patience with me ? Not much longer ?Sure you are ruled by Mars and He wants everything yesterday if not sooner, but he is also doing a retrograde Samba for a while. Yep it’s only fair to inform you that he will be vexing you for the rest of January, all of February and a fat bit of March. Somewhere, some day, probably soon, you will find yourself questioning just how darn important it is to get certain things done. When that moment hits the fan you will totally reprioritize your Agenda. Think of the freedom of delegating projects that are no longer challenging and making room for new opportunities. Your success is assured !
Taurus: This Capricorn Eclipse pattern can only be good for you. There are no slacker Taureans. Sure, once the work is done, you can couch potato better than most, that’s why the symbol for Taurus looks a wee bit like a baked potato. However it is your ability to stick with a project, until the really really finished phase that makes you a hero/heroine. When others flee because they run out of bottled water and cell phone minutes, you can be counted on to bring the job home. AND speaking of home, your down time will take on a new creative flair.
When others think you are puttering, you will be beginning a cycle of inventiveness and self expression. Enjoy it !
Gemini: Honestly now, you can feel it can’tcha ? There is a new sense of change in the winds. The funnest part is that you are so at one with the whole creative chaos thing, that your morphing process began a long while ago. All Air babies know that change is the only guarantee in life. You have always been able to reinvent yourself on a regular basis, the opportunities that find you now, you have been preparing for since 2007. Sure you will be able to look amazed and say thank you when opportunity knocks, but we both know how Veddy ready you are for massive change. Take the grey out of your wardrobe and update your shoes.
Many Kodak moments are on the way, why not be ready for them?
Cancer: In all healthy relationships, there are comfy patterns that give us a sense of normalcy and reliability. Every little once in a while we are blessed with such good friends that words are barely necessary. These are great times for just such shared sacred space. Once you have made somebody’s favourite pie, and poured the coffee, all you really need is a smile and yummy noises. The heartsong and common experiences that you share with your scared family
can be conveyed with a wink and a glance over the bridge of your glasses.
So there you will be sharing coffee and good company and nobody will need to speak about their concerns, just being together in that nosh and nuture environment is all everyone needs. Bonne Appetite !
Leo: Remember the story of Androclese and the Lion ? Well Andy, pulled a thorn out of the big cat’s paw and made a buddy for life. This week someone will pull a thorn out of your life, or maybe your paw. It will most likely be someone you don’t know. That’s called a consequential stranger. Folks who do good for it’s own sake are a true Karmic gift. The consequence of their presence created a greater good. You are taking an integral part in many heavy duty life lessons at the present. When favours either large or small findja, know that you have earned them so long ago, that you have forgotten the deed. You have always paid it forward, and now it pays you back. How cool is that ?
Virgo: Imagine that you are standing outside of your home. As you look through the front window what room calls you in the most ? If it’s the kitchen, whom/what are you nurturing and vice versa. If it’s a shared space, how are blending your space with your beloveds? And if it’s the bathroom, it’s none of my business nor anyone else’s. In this cycle your empowerment imagery is subtly shifting ( or as we say shift happens !) your dreams will be more tangible than they have been for 3 years. Now is the perfect time to journal your dreams and confirmation symbols. Everything that now exists began as a thought in somebody’s mind. Your mind is a powerful generator, and symbols which obviate the need for words are building
you a peaceful yet powerful future. So journal, doodle and dream !
Libra: You are in a time of personal reinvention that would do Madonna proud, and look at how many lifetimes she has had thus far. There is a new aura of self awareness that kinda snuck up on ya. The first time someone compliments you,
You smile and say “thanks!” By the second time, you are already down playing it in a very Venus way….” Thanks but I have a great support crew…” By the third time, a teensy little voice inn the back of your mind will say, “ You know, you did a pretty good job there. Self-esteem is a heady thing. It may take you a while to learn to love yourself but, your present Saturn cycle will keep bringing that home until it sets down tap roots and stays. Celebrate your newly empowered Self !
Scorpio: You are one of the points of egress for this powerful Eclipse pattern to which we all dance. Granted no one in the world can analyze something like you do. You think, dwell, obsess, obsess, obsess and finally process the lesson.
The thing is, you have learned that some things, things over which you have no power are not worth the brain time. When you build that “A is A and done is done
And poke me with a fork because I am truly done” kind of Boundary you can even build healthy obsessions like spirituality and wellness. Yep selective OCD can be non stoppable. Your dogged determination is contagious, and you will never know how many others you carry along in the jet stream of your perseverance !
Sagittarius: Make as few promises as possible for the next few weeks. What if all of those folks to whom you promised lunch and or dinner, all the folks to whom you said,” Hey the next time you are in town, you Must stay with me, “and every single person who ever signed your Year Book turned up on the porch on the same day? Yikes. Now is the bestest time to take a daily inventory and be aware
that your inner people pleaser may offer to pick up the check, when the household bills must be paid. Lest you end up NSF at the good deeds bank, back up just a wee bit, address your wobbling energy level, and write sincere little notes to the people who people your life.
Capricorn: There is a certain magick to having been born a 40 year old, as is the case of Capricorn babies. One is that you have enough common sense not to waste time on inter office politics and or drama queen soap operas. Plus there’s that aging in reverse thing that only works for you and Charro. This Eclipse finds you being a lot of folks. Your adult self is more than ready for the cute little twists and turns that will appear in the best laid plans. Your inner child self will see the humour in people coming to you, totally unaware that you gave them the same advice a while ago. Just another good moment in retro merc, where we get to finish sentences and thoughts and people actually listen. Brain freeze is good, since what you are saying is no longer drowned out by all those voices in somebody’s elses head.
Aquarius: When Mother Theresa made her transition she had a state funeral, which made sense, she was a larger than life person. When the catafalque pulled up to carry her body, it was a military wagon. That made me Hmmm for a while.
Then I realized that even though she was the Soul of peace, she was also a peaceful warrior of sorts, she left might massive footprints behind. So I took it as a fallen hero. Life has a funny balance point. For you the messages will be numerous and deep…marrow deep. Even as you make difficult decisions, your gentle self will find the kindest way to make changes. With Mars lighting up the Jupiter/Neptune aspects in your chart, you will create a new solid form of Spiritual pragmatism. Your idealistic self will always be with you, but for now he/she is in the back seat and your “getting things done self “ is driving. Luckily you will both arrive at the same time.
Pisces: Anyone who knows you, knows that you are somehow different. It’s in your eyes. You seem to be looking past others into a warm fluffily place where summer never ends. And you are. Uranus is offering you a new variety of triggers to emotional responses and felt sense memories, and along with that a new set of responses. Certainly something shiny will most likely carry you far away anyhow. However for now, your memories become so crystal clear that for a moment, you are more they’re than here. Part of it is the realization that the simple but good old days truly weren’t all that simple, and maybe not so good. Now when you look at the present life crises, you can readily see that you have been there before. Life does get easier, when we remember to ease into it.
A la seaming procaine!
