January Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

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

You are coming once more around the mountain of your destiny in this brand-new year, Aries. You are very business oriented now, but with a twist, as you seek also to radically transform your outer world presence. Careening almost battle-like into situations, wild with an enthusiasm for your ideas that only grows as the weeks roll by, you must nevertheless watch and wait for the right opportunity to present itself. Consult your inner guidance at all times. Observe carefully so that you will not be fooled as the universe like a magician pulls each fresh rabbit out of the hat. A false appearance can often masquerade as true quality.

As the month begins, you are chasing fame and fortune but with a difference. You might encounter surprising and even startling results, especially in finances, but your process has changed from previous conception. Your research into career and professional moves is geared to a wider and deeper view of the universe than heretofore. There is also a cynical and somewhat despairing view of things that comes over you at the beginning of the month especially, that can hold you back in some ways. Although in some ways it may also spur you on to taking necessary action that has been delayed up to now. The time for stalling, in other words, is over. You are on the verge of breakthrough and operating with the courage of your convictions, your motor revving and your spiritual warrior gear in place to make the decidedly best move forward for yourself. You have great presence now. The Solar Eclipse and New Moon of Tuesday, January 4th represents the crux of these archetypal energies, and the moment of their greatest flux. Your vision for the future is very present to you now, although the full denouement must await further development as the month and the year unfolds. You are proceeding over these multiple timeframes with great alacrity and dispatch, and also with great compassion and awareness of pre-existing trauma, both that of others around you and your own. The day of the First Quarter Moon following the eclipse, Wednesday, January 12th, is particularly trying. This is a time when enlightenment regarding your true ideals arrives suddenly, and when there are also confusing or deceptive situations to deal with; this is also a time when almost anything you can barely even imagine can and probably will happen. With this mid-week milestone you have reached a moment of great power for your future growth, but a moment that is not without its challenges also. You are struggling somewhat to find your way forward at this time, combating tides of reactive prior conditioning or of circumstance; your warrior stance finds you equal to the task. The weekend of the 15th is trying, a difficult time when transformation is clearly calling. The penetrating nature of your perceptions also reaches a new peak. Then with the Full Moon of Wednesday, January 19th you are swimming in calmer waters. Mercury has escaped its retrograde shadow, meaning that life flows more smoothly and with more predictable results, and you are determined to forge ahead and invest yourself in radical change in a way that you were not before. This also represents a crossroads when you must assess your readiness to move forward in spite of anything. Your creativity and individuality are all at the service now of your more progressive dreams and schemes for a better world, and for a better role for yourself in helping to form it.
