JANUARY 2007 by Bob Mulligan

2007 is a year of stabilization in many ways. Property prices and interest rates will drift south with some important moments of stabilization. We will see efforts to address difficulties in the USA and world economy during 2007 but the underlying fundamental problems will not get attention.

The eclipse pattern for the year is similar to the ones of 1988-1989. This was a time of dramatic world change which included the collapse of communism in Europe and the Tiananmen Square massacre in China. 2007 will resonate with that time period somewhat without being as dramatic.

This remains a very powerful year for personal transformation with Neptune and Uranus in each other’s signs and Pluto and Jupiter in Sagittarius and Saturn in Leo. It is possible to escape the limitations of personal obsessions and join together with others to build a better world.

January is an interesting and benign month. We have lots of resolutions to make 2007 a better year and our good intentions now will have a very positive effect all year. Continuity and spontaneity do a dance with each other all month.

The Full Moon is on the 3rd at 8:58 AM EST in Cancer/Capricorn. We work hard to bring our resources into a practical focus. There is tension between professional and personal life. We have certain obligations that should not be ignored or postponed. Don’t make a big deal about what you must do; just deal effectively with essentials.

Our New Moon in Capricorn is at 11:02 PM EST on Thursday the 18th. Because so many new ideas and activities are available, it is easy to move on to new projects without proper closure on your current activities. This next lunar month will augment our highest ideals and inspire us to incorporate new visions of life.

January 1st to the 7th – Limit your expectations and it gets easy to make this a most productive week. Some things that you have counted on don’t materialize but, there are some unbelievable opportunities if you believe in yourself and look for the luck.

January 8th to the 14th – There is an underlying determination bordering on the ruthless. Careful planning and efficient use of time and energy creates productivity along well defined guidelines.

January 15th to the 21st – Changes are measured and secure but alterations are necessary none the less. We find ourselves exploring new options and committing to more stringent disciplines simultaneously. We are “thinking outside the box” and still being quite methodical about our approach to every day tasks. Many lingering difficulties can disappear now.

January 22nd to the 31st – We want change and we tend to be impulsive. Our inner conflicts are resolved by being less in our head and more in our heart. Be willing to alter even fundamental assumptions. Have faith in the inherent goodness of life.

1st – Monday – Venus Semi-square Uranus, Venus Semi-sextile Pluto – Emotions run high and people are a little antsy. It isn’t easy but there is a new way of bringing harmony to your life now. Be observant and willing to work.

2nd – Tuesday – Mercury Semi-sextile Jupiter, Sun Sextile Uranus, Mercury Sesquiquadrate Saturn – Wild enthusiasm can put you into a tailspin. Don’t commit to more than you can complete or you will find your limits by hitting an immovable obstacle. Be willing to change your plans as the day unfolds.

3rd – Wednesday – Full Moon at 8:58AM EST in Cancer/Capricorn, Venus enters Aquarius – Last minute changes make for an exciting day. Meditate at the time of the Full Moon and you will receive help from your inner resources for everything that you are doing now.

4th – Thursday – Mercury Sextile Uranus – Underlying tension is present but you are able to accomplish much more by being receptive to the new. Support is sporadic but genuine.

5th – Friday – Venus Parallel Jupiter – Work in harmony with your natural environment and look for opportunities. Quickly you are able to set things right that have eluded you.

6th – Saturday – Don’t worry about the things that you aren’t able to accomplish. Set your sights on the most achievable goals and work toward them. You are happiest with yourself if you stay productive.

7th – Sunday – Sun Conjunct Mercury – Relax. You can easily make more work for yourself that isn’t really necessary. Some things happen now because you have already completed the underlying work. Some things can’t happen now because it is not time.

8th – Monday – Mercury Semi-sextile Neptune, Mars Trine Saturn, Sun Semi-sextile Neptune – We take constructive steps to become more open to new ideas. We are tentative as we explore new options. Keep a steady course but be flexible.

9th – Tuesday – Mercury Parallel Mars – Anger is just below the surface. Quick change is okay but be patient with others and take time to explain what you are doing. Be inclusive.

10th – Wednesday – Every new possibility holds a secret key to your future. Make decisions, be decisive. Act and be willing to limit your options in order to be effective.

11th – Thursday – Mercury Quincunx Saturn – There are some unpleasant aspects of your current situation. Smile; be optimistic without denial of the reality of the journey ahead. Don’t make life more difficult than it has to be. Handle tasks without fanfare and everything lightens up.

12th – Friday – Venus Sextile Jupiter, Mercury Semi-square Jupiter – Everyone’s emotional barometer is hitting some important highs and lows. Be prepared to fill in the blanks as they appear. Love and friendship are augmented now.

13th – Saturday – Mars Conjunct Pluto, Mercury Semi-square Uranus, Venus Semi-sextile Uranus, Mercury Semi-sextile Pluto, Venus Semi-square Pluto, Sun Parallel Jupiter – Channel the endurance and competitive energy of the day into something constructive like a love relationship. Results follow from our ability to think creatively; be willing to take risks. Avoid anger and you will see a gamble worth taking.

14th – Sunday – Mercury Semi-sextile Mars, Sun Quincunx Saturn, Venus Semi-square Mars – It is difficult to see what is really necessary today. Are you fulfilling your obligations without taking on anyone else’s chores? Defining boundaries is hard but correctly placed you will have a great time with people. Love is in the air and the desire to merge with others is strong.

15th – Monday – Mercury enters Aquarius – Big ideas and lofty aspirations can have us committing to many things today. This is the perfect time to remember what your life is really all about.

16th – Tuesday – Sun Semi-square Jupiter, Mars enters Capricorn – Before you start on a journey be sure you have a road map. Focus on the details; your enthusiasm and drive will have a productive focus. If your scope of interest is correctly measured, today will be tremendously successful.

17th – Wednesday – Mercury Parallel Jupiter, Sun Semi-square Uranus, Sun Semi-sextile Pluto – We are more happy and productive if we listen to what the environment is telling us. Aim for the things that support your long range priorities.

18th – Thursday – Venus Conjunct Neptune, New Moon at 11:02 PM EST – We are at the height of creativity. Our collective energy can have a very positive effect on world culture at the time of the New Moon. This is a prime time to set our intentions for the year.

19th – Friday –Venus Parallel Pluto, Sun Parallel Mercury – Love is powerful; this is the time to translate our ideals and values into practical principles guiding our relationships with our loved ones.

20th – Saturday – The Sun enters Aquarius – New impulses for harmony are able to present us with new options. We are able to get consensus but only when we are willing to abandon unworkable aspects of our cherished projects. Some of our friends may not be able to make the final leap into a new approach.

21st – Sunday – Mars Semi-square Neptune – Dancing and creative self expression are important parts of the day. Let your impulse to share guide you.

22nd – Monday – Venus Parallel Neptune, Venus opposite Saturn, Mercury Sextile Jupiter, Mercury Semi-sextile Uranus, Mercury Semi-square Pluto, Jupiter Square Uranus – Too many opinions makes the day exciting and innovating at best, confusing at worst. For all the activity we may feel quite liberated. We will change aspects of our outlook today regardless.

23rd – Tuesday – Venus Contra-parallel Saturn – In the midst of despair, something new happens. Not that things make sense, but it does become clear what needs to be done. Our energy strengthens and we find the resolve to take the next step.

24th – Wednesday – Luck and good fortune follow in the footsteps of correct decisions and intelligent action. Business is favored as fundamental insights are accurate and basic optimism encourages everyone to take some risks.

25th – Thursday – We want to slow down and take a look at things before we engage in more activity. Don’t be afraid of spending some time re-evaluating your basic values. Then your practical common sense will lead you toward the most important goals.

26th – Friday – Venus Sextile Pluto, Mercury Conjunct Neptune, Mercury Parallel Pluto – The big picture colors our mind. If you feel confused it is because your vision is too short.

27th – Saturday – Mars Sesquiquadrate Saturn, Venus enters Pisces – What to do? Should we go forward or just take the day off? We are learning a new language to express what is inside of us. Limit your structured and responsible time to the essential and necessary things; then relax with someone you love.

28th – Sunday – Mercury Parallel Neptune, Mercury Opposite Saturn, Mercury Contra-parallel Saturn – Confusion and depression can suck the joy out of your day. Sometimes others may misunderstand you. Detachment and curiosity can give you keen insight into circumstances. Be willing to wait for the obvious turn of events to free your energy.

29th – Monday – Mercury Semi-square Mars, Sun Semi-sextile Mars – Everyone seems so energetic. It is easy to be in a hurry and to get impatient with anyone and everyone. Some people will be angry today and you do best if you are able to pace yourself and be forgiving of others.

30th – Tuesday – Sentimental feelings are at odds with practical needs of the moment. Spontaneous acts of kindness can relieve built up pressure. Correct use of emotional energy will bring satisfaction.

31st – Wednesday – Mercury Sextile Pluto – We reach to integrate our long standing emotional habit with our new vision without losing our direction. It is not possible to please everyone but it is possible to do the right thing.
