January Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Aquarius Horoscope (January 20 - February 18)
Fixed Air. Your ruling planets are Uranus and Saturn.

Mystical madness pervades your soul over this turning of the year period, Aquarius, but this is not a particularly bad thing. It is generally difficult to strike the right balance between inner truth and the demands of the outer world that are so constantly and insistently present, and for these first few weeks of the New Year you will have your chance. Ideas that you have had previously have scattered. You might feel like the wake of the hurricane that shakes everything up without any real idea of order to replace what was lost. Be patient and it will come to you. The beginnings of a new dawn can be felt over the last week of the month, as everything changes.

As the month begins, you are feeling the spaces behind and beyond your conscious mind. These are vast, as you know, and may contain more information than the rest of your body put together, only slightly less accessible to ordinary thought process. You have inhabited a thoughtful period of time since the December holidays began, reexamining all aspects of your existence, even of your relationship life. If you come from a place that is surface and merely mentally sound, you miss so much. That is what you are currently in the process of discovering, and this has been going on in some form for many weeks now, this sense of discovery of an aspect of yourself that has been difficult to access all but lost to the conscious light of day. You have the chance to come into closer contact with these lost parts of yourself now, in this current month of retrograde motion, when you are steered more to the inner world than to the outer. The Last Quarter Moon of Thursday, January 7th, serves to remind you of outer as well as interior obligations, and might possibly bring a moment of tension to your progression of unfolding inner wisdom. You are very involved with others in your world now, seeing them partially as extensions to your process, a way to mirror yourself in another's eyes and therefore see more clearly into your own. There are realizations that may dawn upon you rather suddenly at this time, having to do with the activity of others in your life, and that also might represent a summing up of the last few weeks. All this is preparation for the Solar Eclipse a week later, taking place late Thursday evening and early Friday, January 15th in your sector of dream imagination. This is a powerful time of fresh energy coming in, and all directed from the standpoint of your inner world. There are angels in the architecture as the poet says, that will speak to you now, and lend to you the dreaming wisdom that is theirs. All this year you have been transforming from the inside out, and this current month of meditative stillness is one important crux of that journey. It pays to heed the voices that come up for you at this time, and to test them against the validating process of your intuition, which is more powerful than you may know. Whatever passes the test should be honored and placed upon the alter of your inner seeking, so that you might study and refer to it frequently over the coming months and years. The First Quarter Moon of a week later, taking place on Saturday, January 23rd, will bring a different energy to bear upon this problem of self-transcendence, and one that is more outgoing and more fully engaged in the outer world of events and interactions. The final two weeks of the month in general represent a working out of all that has come before them during the mid-month period of time. The Full Moon of January 29th in your opposite sign is powerful for you also, and leads you to further considerations of the effect of significant partners on your own life's process. By the end of the month you will find a better sense of balance between inner and outer; and between self and other as well.
