Keep your feet on the ground and reach for the stars

Fri 28 Jan – Thurs 10 Feb 2011



The urge to break free from anything that cramps your style or feels emotionally stifling may arise during the Sun’s glide through Aquarius, especially from the 4th of February, when Mercury joins the Sun and Mars in that cool and detached air sign, and Venus moves out of swinging Sagittarius and into controlled Capricorn.

While mercury is still in Capricorn the old school approach is preferred but in Aquarius, Mercury favours anything new or cutting edge, any ideas ahead of their time or radical in social or scientific terms, maybe groundbreaking. So if you wanted to start advertising, for example, a new eco-friendly device, after the 4th would be the time. But up to the 4th, a conservative mindset predominates, or at least, cautious. Not a bad thing of course, just slower to process the situation. Also up until the 4th thinking will be logical and matter of fact. In Aquarius however, Mercury can stimulate the mind to work in lightning flashes of inspiration or genius, and in ways that could not be explained by logic, and could be seen as more intuitive. This is sometimes because Aquarius facilitates a more open minded, out-of-the-box approach to problem-solving, compared to Capricorn’s logic. With Both Mars and Mercury backing Sun in Aquarius by the 4th, any progressive, utopian or revolutionary ideas and ways of thinking are favoured. Nelson Mandela comes from a generation that had Uranus in Aquarius, its best sign. He was able to carry the archetype of Aquarian equality, justice and liberation via revolution for not only his country, but for the world. From 1912 right through almost uninterrupted past Mandela’s birthday in 1918 until mid 1919 Uranus was in Aquarius. Busy decade that. Meanwhile here in the present, the Aquarian conjunction of King Sol and his major General Mars for this entire edition, with Mercury taking minutes not far away, may get draughty for some with all this air sign activity. A lot may get no further than the head, or ideas phase. Nevertheless, those who are able to ground the quantum volume of infinite possibilities and narrow it down to a probability will find that a lot can be achieved in before unimagined fields. Open mindedness does have a blind spot, of course, namely the interpersonal or romantic skills. The emotional quotient is limited in the eyes of more watery personalities. The Goddess Venus also becomes shy or reserved after the 4th in Capricorn, either that or too busy with career. A way to win her would be with tangible items as expressions of love, cash or kind. Any type of security or maturity becomes attractive too.

Jupiter, let’s not forget, has just returned to Aries for a six month stretch, favourable for all Sun and Rising sign Aries folks. If you felt you needed a positive boost to your programme then this is it. Confidence and bravado are likely to soar if you need that kind of thing. The fire of Aries will demand expression so channel the progenitive propensities. Actions overtake words. Just be sure to watch the ego, read the manual and keep your feet on the ground as you reach for the stars.
