2016

January 1st: Mercury enters Aquarius at 6:20 pm PST. The planet Mercury arrives in the humanitarian sign of Aquarius on the first day of the 2016 New Year with a message of hope for unifying cultural, political, and religious divisions. A similar Aquarian theme of “We Came in Peace for All Mankind” was broadcast to Earth on July 21, 1969 by astronaut Neil Armstrong as he placed the first human footsteps on the surface of the Moon.

January 3rd: Mars enters Scorpio at 6:33am PST. Fiery Mars plunges into the murky depths of the water sign of Scorpio through March 5th fueling an intense terse relationship between the elements of fire and water. Fortunately, Mars will enter the fire sign of Sagittarius on March 5th where the great warrior planet will be in a much more familiar arena.

January 5th: Mercury turns retrograde in Aquarius at 5:06 am PST. Within just 4 days of Mercury’s arrival in Aquarius the agile messenger planet reverses its direction back to the sign of Capricorn on January 8th at 11:37 am PST. Mercury will remain in retrograde for the next 20 days providing a collective opportunity to slow down our activities and communications helping us determine what we value and want as we step forward in 2016.

January 7th: Jupiter turns retrograde in Virgo at 8:40 pm PST. The planet of far reaching journeys, higher education, justice, publishing & spirituality reverses its direction in the sign of Virgo at 23 deg 14 min. Walt Disney was born with his Ascendant in the meticulous detailed sign of Virgo that led him to success with a favorite quote “The magic is in the details”.

January 9th: New Moon in Capricorn at 5:30 pm PST. The first New Moon of the New Year initiates the 2016 Lunar Cycle. Today’s New Moon receives support from a Venus/Saturn conjunction in the sign of Sagittarius to define values and establish structures for each individual or entity in the Global Village. Today’s New Moon in Capricorn presents an optimal opportunity to reaffirm any New Year resolutions.

January 20th: The Sun enters Aquarius at 7:28 am PST. The Sun emerges from the stoic sign of Capricorn to embrace the broad vistas of the Aquarian sky for the next 29 days. The Chinese New Year is based on the arrival of the New Moon in the sign of Aquarius each year that will take place on February 8, 2016.

January 23rd: Venus enters Capricorn at 12:32 pm PST and Full Moon in Aquarius/Leo at 5:46 pm PST. Lady Venus arrives in the earth sign of Capricorn just in time to help fine tune the frequencies & harmonics of today’s expansive Full Moon as it perfects at 3 deg29 min of longitude this evening with the Sun in Aquarius opposite the Moon in Leo. This is a good day to enjoy art, literature, music, and let your inner muse shine.

January 25th: Mercury turns direct in Capricorn at 1:50 pm PST. Fleet-footed Mercury steps forward for the second time this month in the sign of Capricorn at 14 deg 54 min of longitude providing us with an opportunity to retrace, revise, and revisit our agreements, communications, decisions, and plans as we implement our goals in 2016 with Many Happy Returns To All in the Year Ahead.

Extreme gratitude to Lee for this January Forecast.

Gift yourself a reading for the New Year!

As you focus on the New Year you may be taking a look backward and reflecting on the current year. Your resolutions may be the same as last year or you have a something new ahead of you. Generally when I ask people what their last year’s resolutions were, they don’t remember. That was how it was for me too! Rather than making resolutions, now I pick one word for the year. This is one word I focus upon to increase in my life.

One year the word was money and I became more responsible by understanding my spending, my saving and my earnings. I spent time talking to those who had a grasp on money, got all of my financial information together in one place, and read information about abundance. My behaviors and excitement about increasing my revenue created the law of attraction. That year I increased my income by 25%. When you bring your attention to something, it increases.

Another year my focus was on food. I watched more “foody” shows on television, bought foods I had not tried before and made food like cauliflower, which has a lot of nutrients a staple in my life. I made green smoothies and my body glowed from all the enzymes. I increased my awareness of how food affects my health (and my mood!) I also lost weight.

This year I have shifted the way I look at manifesting and abundance. I used to get really specific about what I wanted to create. Although I do manifest really well, now I don’t limit the way I manifest by focusing on the particulars. Instead I focus on the feelings that come with having that manifestation. I experience my life as if I already have what it is I desire.

My word for 2016 is Allow. So often when I am working with clients I see them get clear on what they want, but then resist or reject the opportunities that come to them. I learned from this and will no longer bat away the opportunities that show up. I am becoming clear on what I resist and Allowing!

Join with me this season in choosing one word you would like to invite into your life in order to create the experience you desire. Have a Happy New Year!
