Hi all - lets show the world today that we love ourselves. Why is today better than say last week? With the Full Moon today in Leo we have the additional energetic boost of Leo's pride to give us the energy to get ourselves motivated and show the world how we really are the Kings & Queens of the Jungle!
"While the New Moon urged us to reconnect with the deepest part our self to determine our life path or confirm we are still on the right course, give focus on our longterm goals, re-establish structure if it's been broken down, re-build foundation and follow through on our ambitions, this Full Moon questions whether we were brave enough to make do of our intentions." written by astrogrrl (http://ping.fm/OI2a3)
What better time than today - right now - to take action?
Take all your planning, thinking, practicing and put them into action. Today do something that moves you forward in an active motion closer towards your dreams and life goals.
As I like to tell my clients:
If you do not believe in yourself. ...
(this thought can be further expand and applied to include your projects/company/products/etc.)
... how do you expect others to believe in you?
Believe in you to be - a love-partner, an employer, employee, a merchant, a business owner, inventor, businessman, business woman, an author, etc.
Today believe in and love yourself!
Feel the pride of the confident LEO lion. Show the world how we really are the Kings & Queens of the Jungle!
With love,
Marie

Do
what you must this week, but be reminded that there are consequences to our actions. With the tension brewing from the full moon and between Saturn and Pluto exacting this week, situations may be aggrandized. Plus, with Mars (action) and Saturn (restrictions) in retrograde, perhaps this is a week more for reflection and planning than actualaction.

6 STEPS TO LET GO OF YOUR PAST!
2010 - Be in this moment. What if 2010 was you last year on Earth? Would you regret spending so much time thinking about your past? I know I would. Make the decision you are going to move on with your life. You are now taking action instead of simply reacting. You are in the process of taking back your power and being the master of your thoughts and your life.

I love the Holidays. People push work aside to make time for their family, friends and me! This past week I went to a dinner party with a group of friends; a few of whom I haven't seen in almost two years. Boy, was I eager to catch up!
As we were nearing dessert, my friend Debby mentioned that she had been unable to stop thinking about a past relationship. Who she hadn’t seen or spoken with in years. In fact, she confessed, she thinks about him almost daily. Not one of us were surprised. As we were ending desserts, many of my friends admitted to having a persistent emotional attachment to a former relationship. Seriously?! Most if my friends are happily married too.
If you too are stuck in an emotional tie that no longer serves you, lets start learning how to move on.
Here are 6 concepts to help you release your past.
Forgiveness
Forgiveness does not mean you erase the past, or forget what has happened. It doesn’t even mean the other person will change his/her behavior - you cannot control that. All it means is that you are letting go of the anger and pain, and moving on to a better place.
It’s not easy. But you can learn to do it.
Forgive the person. This could be one person or it could be many. Forgive them.
Write them a letter:
Dear [blank], ???I forgive you for [state whatever you feel has caused you the greatest emotional distress and anguish].
Love,
[your name]
Be as completely honest as you can. Write it all down. You are NOT going to send this letter. You are the only person who will ever read it. So purge all the negative and pent up unsaid feelings and – let loose. It’s important to write it all down. Saying it to yourself in your head does not make it “real” enough. Write it down. Again, no one will ever see what you have written, so do not be afraid to get personal.
Once you have finished, it is time to forgive one more person; yourself. You did the best you could. Forgive yourself for letting it happen. For doing to little. For doing to much. Or, forgive yourself for doing nothing at all. Whatever happened, forgive yourself. You cannot change the past. You can only learn from your mistakes and move on.
Forgiveness is so important as the first step because it signifies a mental shift from being a victim to being the master of your life and having complete control over your destiny. You make the decision to forgive the person. You make the decision you are going to move on with your life. You are now taking action instead of simply reacting. You are in the process of taking back your power and being the master of your thoughts and your life.
Write your letter
Get personal
This is a letter of forgiveness and not blame.
Blame is for victims and it makes you powerless. You are in control of your ability to forgive. “I forgive you”.
Forgive yourself
Shift from victim to master
Take back your power!
Think about impermanence
First of all, we need to realize that we don’t have a lot of time on this Earth. Death can come at any moment. It's a dark statement, but it is true. You could become allergic to your dinner, or get hit by a car. You could get cancer tomorrow. Imagine if a wise old meditation master came to you and said you only had two weeks left to life. Would you regret spending so much time thinking about the past? Would you consider that you wasted your time here on Earth? I know I would.
The next time you start worrying about the past I want you to remember impermanence. Say to yourself, “I don’t have time for this” and just drop it. Over time you will train your mind to ignore those thoughts and as the days and weeks go by the attachment to the past will fade away.
Your Brain Speaks Body Language
Your brain believes your body, sort of a reverse of the placebo affect. You begin to feel free of the past when you act free of the past!
Don’t talk about the old relationship
Don’t ritualize it, don’t note anniversaries, or send mental messages.
Your brain will notice and deepen those neural networks until they become routine.
Are You Romanticizing?
Scientists now recognize that nearly 20 percent of us suffer from “complicated grief.”
One of the hallmarks of complicated grief is a persistent sense of longing for the lost one and a tendency to conjure up memories of that person.
The persistence of a romanticized memory contains an addictive element but the element is not in the former relationship, it’s in you.
For the 20 percent of us that stuck-ness has a biological source, an actual difference in brain processing. It can help to know the connection you still feel may be more biological than spiritual in origin.
Step on your rose-colored glasses.
Chances are you are romanticizing weaknesses as strengths.
Was s/he self-employed because of his independence or his inability to accept authority? A realistic assessment is empowering. Keep a list of his/her unflattering truths and refer to it whenever you feel the need to think about “what could have been”. It is easier to let go of a human than a hero.
Get real about what was.
We are most magnetically attracted to people who embody the characteristics of our parents or early caretakers because we unwittingly seek in a partner someone who will re-injure our childhood wounds. Our adult selves can finally heal those wounds, but the more negative those characteristics are the more intense the attraction we feel.
We can get relief from our nostalgia for a passionate love by remembering the intensity of the memory does not hold some great truth about the relationship’s sacredness. Remember, what fueled the attraction may not have been love, but your soul’s desire to heal the past.
This is me, FREE!
Visualize yourself as free without requiring that you know how that will be accomplished. Just imagine you have already arrived at a place in the future where you are. Imagine yourself saying to a friend, “Oh my gosh, I haven’t thought about x in years!” Absorb how fantastic you’ll feel, how happy and energized, and say thank you for that.
Remember that visualization is not about vision. It’s about what you feel when you envision. Feel into your freedom and cement it with gratitude.

Visualize yourself as free without requiring that you know how that will be accomplished. Just imagine you have already arrived at a place in the future where you are. Imagine yourself saying to a friend, “Oh my gosh, I haven’t thought about x in years!” Absorb how fantastic you’ll feel, how happy and energized, and say thank you for that.
Remember that visualization is not about vision. It’s about what you feel when you envision. Feel into your freedom and cement it with gratitude.

Come unstuck with these techniques and discover yourself, happy and free.
I love the Holidays. People push work aside to make time for their family, friends and me! This past week I went to a dinner party with a group of friends; a few of whom I haven't seen in almost two years. Boy, was I eager to catch up!
As we were nearing dessert, my friend Debby mentioned that she had been unable to stop thinking about a past relationship. Who she hadn’t seen or spoken with in years. In fact, she confessed, she thinks about him almost daily. Not one of us were surprised. As we were ending desserts, many of my friends admitted to having a persistent emotional attachment to a former relationship. Seriously?! Most if my friends are happily married too.
If you too are stuck in an emotional tie that no longer serves you, lets start learning how to move on.
Here are 6 concepts to help you release your past.
Forgiveness
Forgiveness does not mean you erase the past, or forget what has happened. It doesn’t even mean the other person will change his/her behavior - you cannot control that. All it means is that you are letting go of the anger and pain, and moving on to a better place.
It’s not easy. But you can learn to do it.
Forgive the person. This could be one person or it could be many. Forgive them.
Write them a letter:
Dear [blank], ???I forgive you for [state whatever you feel has caused you the greatest emotional distress and anguish].
Love,
[your name]
Be as completely honest as you can. Write it all down. You are NOT going to send this letter. You are the only person who will ever read it. So purge all the negative and pent up unsaid feelings and – let loose. It’s important to write it all down. Saying it to yourself in your head does not make it “real” enough. Write it down. Again, no one will ever see what you have written, so do not be afraid to get personal.
Once you have finished, it is time to forgive one more person; yourself. You did the best you could. Forgive yourself for letting it happen. For doing to little. For doing to much. Or, forgive yourself for doing nothing at all. Whatever happened, forgive yourself. You cannot change the past. You can only learn from your mistakes and move on.
Forgiveness is so important as the first step because it signifies a mental shift from being a victim to being the master of your life and having complete control over your destiny. You make the decision to forgive the person. You make the decision you are going to move on with your life. You are now taking action instead of simply reacting. You are in the process of taking back your power and being the master of your thoughts and your life.
Write your letter
Get personal
This is a letter of forgiveness and not blame.
Blame is for victims and it makes you powerless. You are in control of your ability to forgive. “I forgive you”.
Forgive yourself
Shift from victim to master
Take back your power!
Think about impermanence
First of all, we need to realize that we don’t have a lot of time on this Earth. Death can come at any moment. It's a dark statement, but it is true. You could become allergic to your dinner, or get hit by a car. You could get cancer tomorrow. Imagine if a wise old meditation master came to you and said you only had two weeks left to life. Would you regret spending so much time thinking about the past? Would you consider that you wasted your time here on Earth? I know I would.
The next time you start worrying about the past I want you to remember impermanence. Say to yourself, “I don’t have time for this” and just drop it. Over time you will train your mind to ignore those thoughts and as the days and weeks go by the attachment to the past will fade away.
Your Brain Speaks Body Language
Your brain believes your body, sort of a reverse of the placebo affect. You begin to feel free of the past when you act free of the past!
Don’t talk about the old relationship
Don’t ritualize it, don’t note anniversaries, or send mental messages.
Your brain will notice and deepen those neural networks until they become routine.
Are You Romanticizing?
Scientists now recognize that nearly 20 percent of us suffer from “complicated grief.”
One of the hallmarks of complicated grief is a persistent sense of longing for the lost one and a tendency to conjure up memories of that person.
The persistence of a romanticized memory contains an addictive element but the element is not in the former relationship, it’s in you.
For the 20 percent of us that stuck-ness has a biological source, an actual difference in brain processing. It can help to know the connection you still feel may be more biological than spiritual in origin.
Step on your rose-colored glasses.
Chances are you are romanticizing weaknesses as strengths.
Was s/he self-employed because of his independence or his inability to accept authority? A realistic assessment is empowering. Keep a list of his/her unflattering truths and refer to it whenever you feel the need to think about “what could have been”. It is easier to let go of a human than a hero.
Get real about what was.
We are most magnetically attracted to people who embody the characteristics of our parents or early caretakers because we unwittingly seek in a partner someone who will re-injure our childhood wounds. Our adult selves can finally heal those wounds, but the more negative those characteristics are the more intense the attraction we feel.
We can get relief from our nostalgia for a passionate love by remembering the intensity of the memory does not hold some great truth about the relationship’s sacredness. Remember, what fueled the attraction may not have been love, but your soul’s desire to heal the past.
This is me, FREE!
Visualize yourself as free without requiring that you know how that will be accomplished. Just imagine you have already arrived at a place in the future where you are. Imagine yourself saying to a friend, “Oh my gosh, I haven’t thought about x in years!” Absorb how fantastic you’ll feel, how happy and energized, and say thank you for that.
Remember that visualization is not about vision. It’s about what you feel when you envision. Feel into your freedom and cement it with gratitude.

WeeklyScopes ~ January 11 to 17, 2010
Re-structuring Foundation; Re-evaluating Ambition * Days and times reflect EST
Written by AstroGrrl. For more articles on Holistic, Meditative, Spiritual and Psychic development, please join SatoriNation.com - membership is free.
The week begins as a prelude to the celestial happenings at the end of the week. Monday through Wednesday, the Sun and Venus hook up to shine a light upon our relationships and what we value in life. What has truly been the motivation behind our ambitions, actions or decisions? Is it our spouse/significant other? Our children? Our need to prove something? Our own ego? How timely that it's a new year, into a new decade, that we're urged to get our priorities straight!
Both the Sun and Venus align optimistically with Uranus. Be awakened to what has become the norm but no longer satisfies the present version of the self. These alignments give us the chance to make the changes we long for or that are necessary, no matter how radical or unconventional the approach may be. The Eclipsed New Moon later in the week reinforces this energy and urging for renewals. We will have this eclipse's support for the next six months.
Before the New Moon, Saturn in Libra changes directions and retrogrades until May 30, 2010. Our focus turn inward for reflection and review, especially highlighting our relationships and commitment to others. Together with what began early in the week between the Sun, Venus and Uranus plus Saturn's direction change and the Eclipsed New Moon's influence, it is an ideal time to truly seek within in an effort to improve our lives and our ties with one another.
On the same day as the New Moon, Mercury also changes directions and begins moving forward again. The weekend may prove to have some obstacles. Make allowances for delays and miscommunication, as Mercury gets acclimated back into his own speed.
By Sunday, Jupiter leaves Aquarius and enters Pisces, a sign he has not visited since 1998. The planet of luck and expansiveness in the compassionate, intuitive sign of Pisces. Until early June, we're more keen to the energies of a “higher power” at work, have a greater sense of awareness in our humanity and interconnectivity, and may find that fortune blesses our charitable efforts.
January 2010 Horoscopes also available at http://ping.fm/IpUXJ
ARIES ~ It's time to really think about the future and make some solid plans toward achieving longterm goals, as the solar eclipse illuminates upon their importance. Take special attention on ideas that are unique, unconventional even if far-fetched. Jot them down to reference later. Saturn's retrograde in your relationships house might give way to tension in the marriage or business partnerships. In your interactions and decision-making, consider there are elements involved or facts that may still be unknown to you.
TAURUS ~ You may be getting restless or even unsatisfied with how comfortable you've been. You aspire for something different yet are pulled back in to your comfortable and familiar state. Entertain your deviant thoughts this week. There's no harm in envisioning possibilities or an alternate way of living. No final decisions or life-altering actions need to taken this week. Don't hold yourself back this week. Soar, in your mind's eye. If you find yourself inclined, share these thoughts with trusted friends. Those in a long distance relationship might be seeking “guarantees” within the relationship.
GEMINI ~ Jupiter's move to Pisces benefits career and longterm goals. The solar eclipse is urging you to make some serious changes though. There's something or things that needs to be purged, cleansed, dropped completely from your life. This may be something first touched on last July or may be something you've been working on since then. The next six months requires action from you. Elimination before transformation.
CANCER ~ The solar eclipse shines its light in your partnerships house, urging you to find the balance between your relationship with yourself and your significant other, business partner or other committed relationships. Efforts in the past six months may have been more focused on the self and its goals. The next six months asks you to consider extending efforts to include another/others. There is a balance, a common ground. Think outside the box. Single Cancerians seeking to no longer be single might find the next six months beneficial in finding a mate.
LEO ~ Work may be a focus this week, especially with the solar eclipse occurring in your house of work and health. Superiors may demand more of your commitment or perhaps an unexpected change in your role/responsibilities. Saturn and Mercury changing directions may affect your ability to communicate with more difficulty so, make sure you understand what is actually being conveyed. Alternatively, ensure that what you are communicating is also being interpreted accordingly.
VIRGO ~ Saturn retrograde in your money house continues to school you on how to live within your means. Ouch! On the brighter side, single Virgos who don't want to be single anymore might find the next six months as the solar eclipse and Jupiter beams out light and blessings in your love and relationships house. Single or not, however, relationships get a work out this week so, remember to envision the bigger picture and don't get stuck in the details when faced with deciding upon situations.
LIBRA ~ As if Saturn in your sign wasn't difficult enough, for the next few months you're forced to seek within to see all your different sides – the good, bad and ugly. It's time to grow up, take stock and be accountable. The eclipsed new moon gives Saturn's crusade more concentrated direction, as the moon sheds light on your private life/inner drives. Family remain a focus as four planets stimulate your house of home and hearth.
SCORPIO ~ Thinking longterm? Well, this is a good week for it with the solar eclipse happening in your house of thought, along with Mercury finally moving direct again. Jupiter grants his bounty in the part of your chart governing love, romance, children and creative projects until early June. Saturn retrogrades in the house of your subconscious. What are your dreams telling you? Pay extra attention to them in these next months.
SAGITTARIUS ~ Your ruler, Jupiter, changes signs this week and bestows his blessings upon your house of home and hearth in the months ahead. Family relations and issues may be smoother. If you're interested in buying a home or moving into a bigger apartment, the first half of the year may be an ideal time to move on these plans. The solar eclipse in your money house also opens up opportunities for increasing income between now and the next six months. However, you may be required to give up some things you've been accustomed to in order to make room for what's to come.
CAPRICORN ~ Determine what current priorities are. Are those in line with the life you're leading now? What and where might the adjustments be required? With Saturn stimulating your career/future goals house and Jupiter entering your house of thought, this is prime time for evaluating or re-evaluating longterm plans. Allow the solar eclipse in your sign to light the way.
AQUARIUS ~ Jupiter leaves your sign and enters your income house. In the months ahead, be open and aware to opportunities for increasing your material worth. If you are lucid while you dream, try to pay attention to your dreams, especially with the solar eclipse occurring in the house of your subconscious. Hidden answers or clarity you seek in your waking world may be revealed in your dreaming world.
PISCES ~ Don't be surprise if impulse to cut off ties and start off with a clean slate feels overwhelming this week. Saturn in your house of endings and transformation along with the solar eclipse and the focus on relationships (of all types – intimate, platonic, business) this week may be taking a toll. No need to take any rash actions, however. Endings and renewals will come in due time. All that's required of you is your awareness, resolve and readiness for when the time comes.

January Monthly Horoscopes - Integrating into the Spirit of 2010
January 2010 Monthly Horoscopes by Soulistic Shirley
Happy New Year! With each day and sunrise, we automatically begin a new day and a new journey . In the Western calendar, January is numerically defined as “1”. In numerology, “1” represents leadership, strength, unity and initiative. Our collective minds empower January as a month of new beginnings. We feel motivated in January, ready to set and reach goals and with a sense of regeneration. It is quite amazing that what we may have thought as impossible in August, we believe that we can do successfully in January.
This is a very strong beat to march into the New Year with. 2010 is a Universal “3” year. In numerology “3” represents fruition and creativity. While “1” is energetically leadership, beginnings and masculine energy, “2” is partnership, commitment and feminine energy. “1” and “2” create “3”; “3” represents the balanced creation of the masculine and feminine energies. The seeds that you have planted in 2008, and devoted yourself to in 2009 have the power to grow and manifest into the physical world in 2010. Are you ready?
Capricorn: This New Year, you start with Mercury retrograding in your first house governing your personality, outlook on life, and new appearances, and a full moon in your 7th house of relationships and marriage. There is a strong sensation between your obligations to yourself and to others right now. You may feel that the two are in opposition to one another and conflicting. In truth, your duties and feelings to others are simply a reflection of how you are relating to yourself. The way we treat ourself is the way that we treat others. When you serve yourself, you may notice that it affects your ability to serve others. Nurture yourself and be kind to yourself. This is a strong time in your partnerships and relationships. With the moon in your 7th house, you are feeling strongly connected to others. Do not deny your feelings or instincts, attraction may run very deep and you may feel more impulsive than usual. Embrace our instinct and connection to others.
Aquarius: You start 2010 with the Moon in your 6th house. This may in fact be a month and a year that is calling for service from you. The Universe is calling for your beautiful, humane Aquarian nature to rise, come forth and share that nature with all of humanity. When you bring that spirit of humanity and care into your workplace this month, you may notice that you start a chain reaction. Others are interested in what you have to share. This month, it ma seem hard to organize yourself. You have Mercury retrograding through your 12th house at the beginning of the month which may be causing unusual dreams and thoughts. Observe these thoughts and dreams and allow them to teach you, they are nothing more than that which they are. But they do have lessons to teach you in your journey.
Pisces: As mentioned earlier, 2010 is a year of creativity and fusion. It is a year of fruition and birth. With the Full Moon in your 5th house at the dawn of this New Year, you can no longer wait to express yourself. With each beginning, naturally there comes an end. Birth and death are party of the same cycle, and are one in itself. What is holding you back from expressing yourself has to come to an end in order for this creative birth to come forth. There is no need to hold on to what has felt “safe” in the past. Your creativity is how your soul has been desiring to express itself. Spend some time meditating at from your sacral chakra at the top of your rib cage to tap into the power to transform.
Aries: The New Year for you may be calling attention to the concept of home. Maybe you have relocated, maybe you are waiting to relocate, or maybe you are feeling called to move. With the start of 2010 in Mercury retrograde, most likely this move has not yet physically taken place. There is a reason for this. As you grow closer to your new home, you are at an crossroad in your life. This new home that awaits you is a symbol of the new chapter that follows in your personal life. What do you want this new home to be like? What do you want this new chapter to be like? It is time to be very clear about what you will put in this new home. This is a wonderful gift. You get to create exactly the home and life that you want. In order to do this in the best way, it is best to release what you are carrying with you. Allow yourself to truly start over, and begin this new chapter with a clean slate.
Taurus: Happy New Year Taurus. Today I had the pleasure of observing a real bull grazing in a pasture. I could not turn away from this beautiful bull. Its coat was a shiny dark black, and while it was physically large, its energy was so calm and steady. This month, you may not be feeling as calm and steady as feels comfortable for you. You may be feeling a bit scattered and with a lot on your mind. January begins with a Full Moon in your 3rd house – the house of communication. It may feel like there is so much going on that you can barely focus, or that your mind is always changing. And in fact this is the process of life – ideas change, minds change, and people change. It is okay for you to change, for that is the cycle of life. You are still calm and steady even amidst change, rapid thought and confusion.
Gemini: I have always admired every Gemini that I know for their unique and alluring personality. Gemini, symbolized by twins in astrology, is a sign of duality. Geminis often gracefully depict both sides of a coin. They are charismatic and opinionated, quiet and talkative. This month the Full Moon shines in your 2nd house at the start of January. I want to encourage you to dig deep this month in your self esteem. What is holding you back from leaping from the past into the present? What is keeping you at the job that you hate? You have the power to do any and everything that you wish, but you must believe that. While self esteem is not a simple area to explore, it is often the area that must be explored in order to reach full success, are you ready?
Cancer: Relationships and communication within they might just be at the center of your attention at the start of this month. With Mercury retrograding through your 7th house, it just might seem that no one is hearing you. Rest assured, it just seems that way, but everyone is hearing you loud and clear, but are you hearing yourself? Do you know what you are saying and why you are saying it? It is often easy to speak, but not remember what we say. At the beginning of this New Year, I suggest some quiet time and time for you to reflect on what you want and how to communicate what you want. This quiet time will also allow you to listen and understand others more optimally. The moon is in your first house at the start of January, let this serve you as you become in tune with your instinct. Instinct will never lead you wrong.
Leo: This year is starting off almost in a dream like state. With the moon in your 12th house at the start of 2010, things seem surreal and perhaps your astral body may be very active. You may be currently experiencing many strong and vivid dreams, or just be very in tune with the messages that your body is giving you. This is such a gift and I encourage you to act upon this. Bring this into the New Year, and make listening to your body and exercising your subtle body apart of your everyday life (if it is not apart already). Enjoy some vacation time away from work this month. With Mercury retrograding through your work house, there may be a hard time getting things done at work, so you as might as well take some time for yourself. Everything will be worked out regardless.
Virgo: It’s time for you make your mark in 2010. Society and your communities are ready for your leadership and unique approach. Your friends are supportive of you and want to expose you to everyone that they know. There is a link between your creativity/art and your community. Your art is expression, and it is also activism (whether you are aware of not). The more your create and express yourself, the more you inspire others and are inspired to create change. This month, Mercury is retrograding through your 5th house – house of creativity and creation. Maybe you feel stuck or maybe you feel inclined to create in a brand new way that you have never done before. Either way, keep creating and do not lose your confidence.
Libra: It seems like each month I’ve written in 2009 about Libras, it has had something to do with work and service. 2010 starts with a Full Moon in your 10th house, house of vocation and profession. So this may be on your mind at the beginning of the New Year. You may be thinking about your “next step” and be a bit anxious about when it is coming and how you are going to get there? This month, approach this topic in the reverse way. Instead of thinking about “how”, just think about “what”. What makes you happy? What do you want to spend everyday doing? What do want to spend everyday doing and making a great living out of? Once you are clear about this, it will present itself to you.
Scorpio: Scorpio is ruled by the planet, Pluto. Pluto is the planet of transformation and generation. So sometimes it may seem that transformation can be so natural and easy for you, and other times it may feel so challenging to you. With the moon in your 9th house, you are beginning to explore new topics of philosophy, religion and other schools of thought this year. When you begin to dive into these new studies, it may bring you to new places both my physical and intellectual travel. As you continue to study and explore these new areas, you may start identifying less with some of the areas in your life that you have previously identified very closely with. This may seem to turn your life upside down in a rapid and uncomfortable way, but it is really helping you to dive further into your ability to embrace change and be one with it.
Sagittarius: With the moon in your 8th house of regeneration at the start of this month, it is time to examine some emotions that you may be hiding from others and from yourself. It can be easy sometimes to get distracted with so many parts of life – work, daily routine, and our surrounding environment, that we put our feelings aside and allow the distractions to take the front stage in order to mask the feelings. Well the beginning of January is giving you the opportunity to deal with these feelings and confront them. What you are keeping bottled inside (and perhaps you are not even aware that it is bottled inside) is going to surface, and the quicker you deal with it, the quicker it will leave your system.
Happy New Year! With each day and sunrise, we automatically begin a new day and a new journey . In the Western calendar, January is numerically defined as “1”. In numerology, “1” represents leadership, strength, unity and initiative. Our collective minds empower January as a month of new beginnings. We feel motivated in January, ready to set and reach goals and with a sense of regeneration. It is quite amazing that what we may have thought as impossible in August, we believe that we can do successfully in January.
This is a very strong beat to march into the New Year with. 2010 is a Universal “3” year. In numerology “3” represents fruition and creativity. While “1” is energetically leadership, beginnings and masculine energy, “2” is partnership, commitment and feminine energy. “1” and “2” create “3”; “3” represents the balanced creation of the masculine and feminine energies. The seeds that you have planted in 2008, and devoted yourself to in 2009 have the power to grow and manifest into the physical world in 2010. Are you ready?
Capricorn: This New Year, you start with Mercury retrograding in your first house governing your personality, outlook on life, and new appearances, and a full moon in your 7th house of relationships and marriage.

With the moon in your 7th house, you are feeling strongly connected to others. Do not deny your feelings or instincts, attraction may run very deep and you may feel more impulsive than usual. Embrace our instinct and connection to others.
Aquarius: You start 2010 with the Moon in your 6th house. This may in fact be a month and a year that is calling for service from you. The Universe is calling for your beautiful, humane Aquarian nature to rise, come forth and share that nature with all of humanity. When you bring that spirit of humanity and care into your workplace this month, you may notice that you start a chain reaction. Others are interested in what you have to share. This month, it ma seem hard to organize yourself. You have Mercury retrograding through your 12th house at the beginning of the month which may be causing unusual dreams and thoughts. Observe these thoughts and dreams and allow them to teach you, they are nothing more than that which they are. But they do have lessons to teach you in your journey.
Pisces: As mentioned earlier, 2010 is a year of creativity and fusion. It is a year of fruition and birth. With the Full Moon in your 5th house at the dawn of this New Year, you can no longer wait to express yourself. With each beginning, naturally there comes an end. Birth and death are party of the same cycle, and are one in itself. What is holding you back from expressing yourself has to come to an end in order for this creative birth to come forth. There is no need to hold on to what has felt “safe” in the past. Your creativity is how your soul has been desiring to express itself. Spend some time meditating at from your sacral chakra at the top of your rib cage to tap into the power to transform.
Aries: The New Year for you may be calling attention to the concept of home. Maybe you have relocated, maybe you are waiting to relocate, or maybe you are feeling called to move. With the start of 2010 in Mercury retrograde, most likely this move has not yet physically taken place. There is a reason for this. As you grow closer to your new home, you are at an crossroad in your life. This new home that awaits you is a symbol of the new chapter that follows in your personal life. What do you want this new home to be like? What do you want this new chapter to be like? It is time to be very clear about what you will put in this new home. This is a wonderful gift. You get to create exactly the home and life that you want. In order to do this in the best way, it is best to release what you are carrying with you. Allow yourself to truly start over, and begin this new chapter with a clean slate.
Taurus: Happy New Year Taurus. Today I had the pleasure of observing a real bull grazing in a pasture. I could not turn away from this beautiful bull. Its coat was a shiny dark black, and while it was physically large, its energy was so calm and steady. This month, you may not be feeling as calm and steady as feels comfortable for you. You may be feeling a bit scattered and with a lot on your mind. January begins with a Full Moon in your 3rd house – the house of communication. It may feel like there is so much going on that you can barely focus, or that your mind is always changing. And in fact this is the process of life – ideas change, minds change, and people change. It is okay for you to change, for that is the cycle of life. You are still calm and steady even amidst change, rapid thought and confusion.
Gemini: I have always admired every Gemini that I know for their unique and alluring personality. Gemini, symbolized by twins in astrology, is a sign of duality. Geminis often gracefully depict both sides of a coin. They are charismatic and opinionated, quiet and talkative. This month the Full Moon shines in your 2nd house at the start of January. I want to encourage you to dig deep this month in your self esteem. What is holding you back from leaping from the past into the present? What is keeping you at the job that you hate? You have the power to do any and everything that you wish, but you must believe that. While self esteem is not a simple area to explore, it is often the area that must be explored in order to reach full success, are you ready?
Cancer: Relationships and communication within they might just be at the center of your attention at the start of this month. With Mercury retrograding through your 7th house, it just might seem that no one is hearing you. Rest assured, it just seems that way, but everyone is hearing you loud and clear, but are you hearing yourself? Do you know what you are saying and why you are saying it? It is often easy to speak, but not remember what we say. At the beginning of this New Year, I suggest some quiet time and time for you to reflect on what you want and how to communicate what you want. This quiet time will also allow you to listen and understand others more optimally. The moon is in your first house at the start of January, let this serve you as you become in tune with your instinct. Instinct will never lead you wrong.
Leo: This year is starting off almost in a dream like state. With the moon in your 12th house at the start of 2010, things seem surreal and perhaps your astral body may be very active. You may be currently experiencing many strong and vivid dreams, or just be very in tune with the messages that your body is giving you. This is such a gift and I encourage you to act upon this. Bring this into the New Year, and make listening to your body and exercising your subtle body apart of your everyday life (if it is not apart already). Enjoy some vacation time away from work this month. With Mercury retrograding through your work house, there may be a hard time getting things done at work, so you as might as well take some time for yourself. Everything will be worked out regardless.
Virgo: It’s time for you make your mark in 2010. Society and your communities are ready for your leadership and unique approach. Your friends are supportive of you and want to expose you to everyone that they know. There is a link between your creativity/art and your community. Your art is expression, and it is also activism (whether you are aware of not). The more your create and express yourself, the more you inspire others and are inspired to create change. This month, Mercury is retrograding through your 5th house – house of creativity and creation. Maybe you feel stuck or maybe you feel inclined to create in a brand new way that you have never done before. Either way, keep creating and do not lose your confidence.
Libra: It seems like each month I’ve written in 2009 about Libras, it has had something to do with work and service. 2010 starts with a Full Moon in your 10th house, house of vocation and profession. So this may be on your mind at the beginning of the New Year. You may be thinking about your “next step” and be a bit anxious about when it is coming and how you are going to get there? This month, approach this topic in the reverse way. Instead of thinking about “how”, just think about “what”. What makes you happy? What do you want to spend everyday doing? What do want to spend everyday doing and making a great living out of? Once you are clear about this, it will present itself to you.
Scorpio: Scorpio is ruled by the planet, Pluto. Pluto is the planet of transformation and generation. So sometimes it may seem that transformation can be so natural and easy for you, and other times it may feel so challenging to you. With the moon in your 9th house, you are beginning to explore new topics of philosophy, religion and other schools of thought this year. When you begin to dive into these new studies, it may bring you to new places both my physical and intellectual travel. As you continue to study and explore these new areas, you may start identifying less with some of the areas in your life that you have previously identified very closely with. This may seem to turn your life upside down in a rapid and uncomfortable way, but it is really helping you to dive further into your ability to embrace change and be one with it.
Sagittarius: With the moon in your 8th house of regeneration at the start of this month, it is time to examine some emotions that you may be hiding from others and from yourself. It can be easy sometimes to get distracted with so many parts of life – work, daily routine, and our surrounding environment, that we put our feelings aside and allow the distractions to take the front stage in order to mask the feelings. Well the beginning of January is giving you the opportunity to deal with these feelings and confront them. What you are keeping bottled inside (and perhaps you are not even aware that it is bottled inside) is going to surface, and the quicker you deal with it, the quicker it will leave your system.
