JANUARY
2006 by Bob Mulligan
Venus turned retrograde on December 24th and remains
moving backwards until February 3rd. So, we enter
the New Year with her moving against the direction
of the Sun in Capricorn. This gives a mellow underlying
tone to events all month.
The
Saturn Mars Square that was the main contributor to
the relative slow pace of events in December is finally
loosening up. Even though we still have a load of
planets in fixed signs creating a container of events,
the pressure is releasing. However, the four major
planets in square around the middle of the fixed signs
give the context to every event all month. This is,
however, a transitional month; things get progressively
easier as the month goes on. Neptune and Jupiter square
each other at the end of the month. Our major concern
is that we give up our sense of reality for a comfortable
dream.
The
Full Moon occurs with retrograde Venus Conjunct the
Sun on the 14th at 4:48 am EST. Mercury is in easy
aspect to Jupiter and Mars, indicating that it is
possible to complete a number of projects around the
middle of the month. Many pleasant things will find
their own fulfillment in our lives if we just relax
and do not push.
The
second half of the month is a slow dispersal of energy
and we prepare for a new dispensation of vitality
as the New Moon is on the 29th at 9:15 am EST. The
New Moon kicks us into high gear as we prepare to
go in a much freer direction in February.
1st
week January 2-8. Our thinking is organized and focused
on accomplishing vertical organization through every
aspect of our lives. Communication that is specific
and goal oriented works naturally now.
2nd
week January 9-15. We expect good things to come to
us this week. We accomplish most by patience and persistence.
Things will come to us from the past. Our job is to
recognize, then accept, what is offered.
3rd
week 16th -22nd. There is edginess all week. We are
moving back and forth between material concerns and
spiritual insight. Freedom cries out but responsibilities
linger and need addressing.
4th
week 23rd 31st. There is so much good right now,
it is easy to forget there are definite limits to
what can happen. The big enemy is unrealistic expectations.
Keep focused on what needs to be done and take time
to daydream of a better life. New information can
come as a counterpoint to well delineated structured
tasks.
1st
Sunday Mercury Sesquiquadrate Mars, Saturn Sesquiquadrate
Pluto, Sun Trine Mars We start the new year editing
our emotions. It is time for love and practicality
to come together. Self-expression has to be focused
and contained if there is to be room in your life
for others.
2nd
Monday Mercury Semi-square Jupiter Emotions
easily run away with our common sense. Finding a safe
outlet for our enthusiasm is important now.
3rd
Tuesday Mercury Semi-sextile, Mercury enters Capricorn
There is a coming down to reality and a sense of
calm if we focus on the intensely practical.

Neptune This is a good day to set things right.
Look for key opportunities to make the correct moves
to put some important project on the right path.
5th
Thursday Venus Contra-parallel Mars Personal
life and romance collide with practical considerations.
A big push of energy can make a lot happen today if
you stay focused.
6th
Friday Sun Semi-sextile Neptune It is easy to
run in circles today. This is fine if you need the
exercise. If you need to be productive today, make
a list before you start trying to get things done
and make time for daydreaming.
7th

Everything around you will slow down. Be willing to
change your own pace.

Tuesday So many things vie for our attention all
at once. It is an interesting day.
11th
Wednesday Venus Semi-sextile Pluto Start a new
page in life today. Make your ideals practical or
change them. Now is the time to walk your talk.
12th
Thursday Venus parallel Neptune - If the container
is clean and available, you can fill it with something
wonderful today.
13th
Friday Mercury Trine Mars, Sun Semi-sextile Uranus,
Mercury Sextile Jupiter, Sun Conjunct Venus Take
action and be willing to go the extra mile to complete
your tasks at hand. Know when you are done and be
willing to enjoy your achievements.
14th
Saturday Venus Parallel Pluto, the Full Moon at
4:48am EST, Mercury Semi-sextile Neptune, Venus Semi-square
Uranus Intense feelings are flying around and we
can be getting closer to understanding ourselves and
what we attract into our lives. Beyond the self-analysis,
we have something to offer to the larger world. Do
not artificially hold yourself back. Meditate.
15th
Sunday Mars Opposite Jupiter, Sun Semi-sextile
Pluto There is a trick in making the current situation
harmonious. Keep your own council and aim for things
that will endure.
16th
Monday Bold strokes and big displays of creative
expression bring immediate positive feedback.
17th
Tuesday Mercury Conjunct Venus Get the deal
closed now. Creating harmony with others over practical
concerns brings new circumstances to light.
18th
Wednesday Mars Square Neptune, Mercury Semi-square
Uranus Wild actions and flashes of inspiration make
this a sparkling day. This is the best time for lining
up support for things that will take years to manifest.
19th
Thursday Venus Parallel Jupiter, Saturn Quincunx
Uranus, Mercury Semi-sextile Pluto We are attempting
to get many things done all at once today. You do
better if you allow others to have their say in the
things that are going on now.
20th
Friday Sun enters Aquarius We are all requesting
more from life than we have now. The truly intelligent
person knows what to ask for.
21st
Saturday Mars Parallel Saturn Motion can lift
the heavy atmosphere. Stay light on your feet. Opportunity
will present itself soon.
22nd
Sunday Mercury enters Aquarius The urge for freedom
is strong today. Look for unfolding solutions to problems
from a more detached perspective.
23rd
Monday Venus Trine Mars You may get lucky today.
Take time to acknowledge the people for whom you feel
a deep and abiding love.
24th
- Tuesday Sun Contra-parallel Mars We are torn
between the way we have always been and how we wish
we could be. Today we unscramble our own internal
code if we keep a lid on our anger at others. Strike
to understand circumstances rather than react against
them.
25th
Wednesday Sun Contra-parallel Saturn Cross currents
of desire and obligation can drive us one way then
another. Be patient with yourself and others. Steady
progress is made if you keep your focus slow and narrow.
26th
Thursday Sun Conjunct Mercury A certain desperateness
seems to power peoples actions. Hang on to the present
moment and advocate for something miraculous to change
the current world dynamics.
27th
Friday Mercury Opposite Saturn, Venus Semi-sextile
Neptune, Venus Sextile Jupiter, Sun Opposite Saturn,
Jupiter Square Neptune, Mercury Semi-sextile Uranus
An artistic, innovative and creative day. Do not
get in your own way. Too much opportunity is just
as bad as none at all.
28th
Saturday Neptune Parallel Pluto, Mercury Contra-parallel
Mars, Sun Semi-sextile Uranus A storm is brewing
all around you, do not be part of it. Keep your common
sense and peace of mind. Accept limitations and work
within them and much can be accomplished quietly.
29th
Sunday Mercury Semi-square Pluto, then the New
Moon at 9:15am EST Be of good cheer and start over.
Meditate. Give yourself a vacation on a higher plane
of consciousness.
30th
Monday - Mercury Contra-parallel Saturn, Sun Semi-square
Pluto Now, you get to find out how adjustable you
are. Sometimes, it is better to bend in the wind than
to fight the energy of the moment.
31st
Tuesday Jupiter Parallel Neptune We end the
month on a grand scale and paint in bold strokes.
We have luck all around us and if we can hook up to
it, we are moving on to something really new and beautiful.
