SOLAR ECLIPSE
NEW MOON in AQUARIUS
This Forecast in effect
January 26 to February 9/10, 2009
The Lunar Forecasts give Daily Horoscopes a greater context.
Something new is being born! Something unique and
a little bit wild is emerging! This can be a time of great hope, optimism
and belief in yourself and the Universe. ...Or, it might feel like your
world just got turned upside down and you're wondering where normal went.
Either way, this is a time of transformative change that will
unfold�gradually or in spurts�over the coming year. You are being asked to
find a connection to something greater than yourself that is radically
different from what is typical for you. Reach for a higher vision. Expand
your understanding of the world around you. Be open and receptive to
something you might normally dismiss, doubt or distrust. Believe in
something.
This might be difficult at first. Change is never
without its struggle and sometimes pain. In The Prophet ,
Kahlil Gibran wrote: "Your pain is the breaking of the shell that
encloses your understanding." Part of the labour in this rebirth is to
strike a balance between being open to something new (and possibly
unsettling) versus keeping one foot on the ground (without keeping it stuck
there). Your best balance point between these two is likely to shift around
a bit, requiring repeated adjustments and effort. That's not a sign of
failure or impossibility, but rather an opportunity to increase your
strength in the ways that count. That means finding stability not in the
predictability of outside circumstances that make you feel safe or powerful,
but within yourself and in a belief in some form of Higher Power (in
whatever way that makes sense to you). Believe in
something.
Your resources, motivation and sense of direction for this rebirth could
be either subtle and sensitive, or surprising and in-yer-face, or both.
Making fine-tuned adjustments can not only maintain your stable centre, it
will also avoid erratic swings between extremes that only complicate and
amplify the problem. Small moves made with the Big Picture in mind. To
accomplish this, your intuition, instincts, dreams and emotions will be just
as important to take into consideration as your perceptions, reasoning,
facts and past experience. Seek out support from friends, advisors,
associates, groups and people who can help you see things from a new
perspective (a personal astrology reading
is an excellent example of this). Reach out with your imagination while
keeping at least one foot on the ground. Believe in
something.

LUNAR ECLIPSE
FULL MOON in LEO
This Forecast in effect
February 9-24, 2009
The Lunar Forecasts give Daily Horoscopes a greater context.
It might feel a bit like you're running around in
circles right now. Or it might seem like you're going two steps back for
every step forward. This doesn't necessarily mean you're doing something
wrong � it's the road that's twisting and turning under your feet. Your job
is to find creative ways to stay on course wherever it leads, even though
doing that might feel confusing, frustrating, exhausting and sometimes a bit
crazy-making!
To do that, you will probably have to open your
mind to unusual possibilities and ways of thinking. This is creativity at is
most fundamental level � finding spontaneous ways to respond to life in the
moment. To rely on the same old formula or predictable results probably
won't work as well as it usually does. It will be better to cultivate a more
flexible and philosophical understanding of what's going on in your life.
Whatever your conflicts, problems and challenges, try reframing things in a
new way. Be open to a different perspective. It's very likely that there are
no solutions right now that will completely fix the problem. That doesn't
mean it's hopeless � far from it! You might need to redefine the problem to
discover another way to approach it. It will also be helpful to let go of
your usual expectations of what the answer is supposed to look like, so that
you will be able to recognize a different kind of answer that's probably be
more effective. A sense of humour will definitely help!
You will be playing around with these kinds of
innovative ideas for the next 6 months. Don't get all tangled up in knots
thinking that you're supposed to figure it all out now and just move on. In
the coming months, imagination, inspiration and unexpected insights are your
travel buddies on the journey. Don't just dismiss them as distractions.
Although practical results are no doubt important, the journey offers a
unique opportunity to explore new ideas, fresh growth and unconventional
experiences that are probably just as important to your spiritual
development as the concrete results are to your physical well-being. Balance
is the key, even if that balance is constantly changing and adjusting. A
personal astrology reading will help
you find your balance point and keep you moving along your best path.
