We are ready to enter the Year of the Wood Horse on the new moon of January 30, 2014 at 1:38 PM PST. What a year this will be. There will be lots of action and very fast-moving energy. Gemini is the astrological sign for The Year of the Horse. Gemini is ruled by Mercury, which acts like quicksilver. The glyph for the Dreamspell calendar on January 30 is the Yellow Magnetic Human. The energy from that glyph strengthens and clears your physical body to prepare for expanded energies so you can open the door to Cosmic Consciousness. Magnetic energy is feminine heart energy so this is the year to think with your heart.
Jupiter is on 13 degrees Cancer right now, which is right over Washington, D.C. This degree rules business, publicity, insurance, religion, high offices of government, and the star Sirius. The Obamacare insurance plan is now in affect and there is always lots of business going on in Washington, D.C, and also in the United States. The United States and Russia will be in our focus this month, along with China. Russia is hosting the Winter Olympics which will be held in Sochi, Russia.
Thursday evening’s Last Quarter Moon is an interesting one. This lunar phase in any case signals a time of reassessment, a point at which we recognize that we must take stock of our situation and reinterpret recent events in the light of new knowledge. In this configuration, as well, the Sun has now moved to thoughtful and scientifically minded Aquarius, while the Moon in moody Scorpio encourages us to dig deeper, below the surface of our psychological position. In addition, retrograde Venus has moved backward within the sign of Capricorn to the point where it closely conjuncts Pluto, planetary archetype of depth researches and difficult realizations. This means that we are all in some way looking more deeply into our present relationships in search of a better and more profound understanding.
