January Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Aries Horoscope (March 21 - April 19)
Cardinal Fire. Your ruling planet is Mars.

This is the first month of the rest of your life, Aries. Partnership has been problematic lately, but also revelatory of important lessons. You are ready to make a fresh start somewhere, and yet you seem to be spinning your wheels. If you are contemplating life and love these days not with the attitude of fixing anything, but rather just marveling at the complexity of your process, then you are on the right track. The end of this month and the first half of February will be a better time for action.

As the month begins, you are continuing to enjoy a dreamy and introspective time, a time of inner stillness that is perhaps slightly antithetical to your normally outgoing nature, but which on closer inspection has as well its rich rewards in terms of increased self-knowledge. Your role in the drama of outer world events has been changing lately, partly as a result of a more serious attitude toward partnership, home and family. This is especially true right around the beginning of the year, so that your New Years resolutions this year might have involved taking better care of familial relationships, including members of your extended circle or tribe. With the Last Quarter Moon of Thursday, January 7th, it could well be that relationships with significant others in your life are again emphasized. You are in an interesting position now, yielding to the wisdom of mentors and partners that you look up to, but also taking a stand for yourself in a positive way, although with perhaps a tendency for too great a forcefulness in response to perceived threats to your autonomy. You are occupied at this time in finding the way that relationship truly works for you and enhances rather that stifles your sense of your own individuality. On reflection, the lessons of the past few weeks are perhaps more fully available to you now than earlier. There is a way that these ruminations can be seen as the perfect build-up to the powerful Solar Eclipse in your sector of outer accomplishment, taking place late Thursday evening or early on Friday, January 15th, a time when you are making a fresh start on career goals from a spiritual standpoint, and when also may see your way clear to new manner of relationship interaction. This is also a time when epiphanies could abound, especially those that come to you concerning your true place on the cosmic wheel. At this important turning, inner and outer events conspire to allow you a glimpse into the working of the universe on your behalf, always, even if appearances seem to belie it. For many months now you have been feeling the undertow of a call for further inclusion of Spirit into your plans and into your life. This has been true all through 2009, and stronger most recently. In the week following the New Moon you are called more directly to action, but action of an interior kind, progress on the inside. The First Quarter Moon of Saturday, January 23rd, is an optimistic time when you feel as though you could move mountains. The future unfolding before your eyes is bright, but the real action might have to wait for a few more weeks until Mars turns direct on March 10th, far off as that might seem. By the end of this current month you will at leas have a better handle on where you are heading with your life right now, and why.
