January 2012 for Aquarius


Happy New Year dear Aquarius
The world will not end in 2012! Please read the forecast for 2012 to better understand this much expected and feared year.

The year of 2012 will be ruled by the moon, in the sign of Aries, the fist sign of the zodiac, indicating that it is going to be a year of major decisions, with the focus on independence, innovations but also a sense of impatience and a need to start over.
With the moon traveling in your area of communication, neighbors and siblings, this year you may find some interest in helping your community or getting closer to one of your siblings.
You could be overly concerned with trivial subjects and become very annoyed if things don’t go your way.

With a year ruled by the moon, we tend to be more sensitive and emotional; family issues will be predominant, along with an urge to review the past and build a new future based on new ideas and new mottos.

A tongue–sharpening transit between Mercury and Mars opens the year of 2012, which spur arguments and excessive massive media communication. We say it as it is. New Year’s Eve celebration will be restless and people will be impatient.
You may feel like spending the night by yourself or with very close friends in an intimate setting, because you won’t be in the mood to be around boisterous people or New Years Eve festivities.
But try not to argue about money matters on this very special night, just enjoy the celebrations dear Aquarius and wait to discuss money subjects on Monday the 2nd.
Until the 23rd none of the planets will be retrograding, making this the best time to start anything in our lives; whatever we start is guaranteed to grow fast and in the right direction. Start a new project during this time and you will be surprised at how fast it will develop.

The first planet to retrograde in 2012 is Mars in the sign of Virgo until April 10th, making this period to be slow on decision-making; as a result we will momentarily experience a lack of enthusiasm.

On January 8th, Mercury moves to Capricorn, and we are more focused and practical with our thinking. We are thinking seriously about the issues related to media, communication and travel. Mercury travels through Capricorn until January 27th.
Mercury will be transiting your area of the subconscious mind and hidden subjects. It’s a great time to prepare a project in quiet, to have it ready to launch by the 27th. You should have the best strategies at this time and peace of mind to create a project that will impress everybody after the 27th.

On the 8th as well, you may be restless and argumentative. Try to curb your anger dear Aquarius, or you could have a nervous breakdown if you don’t keep calm.
Don’t trust your own ideas; they may be too out of date.


The first full moon of the year, is 18º Cancer with the Sun in Capricorn, on the 9th, at 3:30 Am (Eastern Time) motivating us to balance our inner needs with the external duties and obligations. This opposition, Cancer/Capricorn represents the mother and the father; caring and emotional needs versus responsibilities and focus on work.
The moon is in dynamic aspect with Mars indication the urge to finish the tasks we have initiated before.
This is a good day to reformulate our ideas and concepts of reality.

This full moon can point to a health condition that you may be apprehensive about, but it will be revealed that it can also be easily healed at this time.
Your physician may give you the right treatment and you will be healthy and strong again.
It may be a good idea to start therapy at this time; you may be able to work on the psychological problems and issues that could be lowering your immune system.

Venus is moving to the sensitive sign of Pisces right after a conjunction with Neptune (the ruler of Pisces) on January 14th. People will be concern with charity, generosity and peace. This is an excellent day to meditate, to spend a romantic night with the one we love and to help a charitable foundation.
We may hear about some noble gesture or a peaceful act somewhere on our planet.
Venus remains in Pisces until February 8th.

Beautiful Venus and spiritual Neptune in your sign, before ingression in Pisces, can make you mellow and generous. You exhale grace, beauty and love dear Aquarius. Help a charity and you will be part of the wholeness.
Love is in the air.

The 21st is such a lucky day for you. You can have the help of authorities and important people who will be willing to give you all the opportunities you need; you will be amazed at how effective they can be in your favor.

The Sun enters Aquarius, the sign of humanity, fraternity and futuristic matters on January 22nd. The lord of energy and life is entering your sign. Happy birthday dear Aquarius!
You shine and you are the focus of attention.

There’s a New Moon at 02º Aquarius on the 23rd at 3:40 AM (Eastern Time) representing a need for freedom. This new moon, amplifies the urge for equality on social and economic levels.
Mercury is trinning Mars during this new moon, turning our focus to communication, transport and travel.
We feel free to show our opinion today with grace and objectivity.

What a precious new moon dear Aquarius, right in your sign, super well aspected with Mars, creating opportunities for you in matters of money and shared money. Your partner can give you an amazing gift or make a huge profit, which will benefit the both of you.
If you have any lawsuit in progress you will be the winner.

During this first new moon of 2012, dream the impossible dream, take a quantum leap and let the magic of the universe manifest in your life.


Today Mars also start its retrograde period, which happens every two years in the sign of Virgo until April 13th. Mars will be in Virgo most of the year of 2012, instead of its normal two months sojourns, giving us extra time to figure out and fix what’s not working in our lives. It’s a good time to resolve self-esteem problems and to eliminate martyrdom and passive-aggressive behavior.

We are impelled to analyze, criticize and improve things in our lives. If you have any big project to start this year, skip the period Mars is retrograding and analyze your project in detail before you launched after April 13th.
You should have plenty time to organize your finances and take care of any money matters. You have the eyes of an eagle and you can find the best opportunities money can bring.

Mercury enters the sign of Aquarius on the 27th, turning our mindset to fraternal issues and new ways of thinking.
Now you are the THINKER and communicator among your friends and family. This is a good time to elaborate on a plan or launch a project.
On the 28th you have fantastic ideas; just like Einstein you can discover something amazing for our planet.


Don’t forget to read the forecasting for 2012 in order to understand this so important year in your life. What is happening below is a reflection of what happens above.
Astrology is not a predictive practice, at least not in my point of view, but a way of being informed and aware of the vibrations that will be upon us and allowing us to change consciously according to that time frame.
We always have the free will to adjust things to our benefit when we are aware of them.
It’s simple: take an umbrella if the forecast announces it is going to rain!
Have a beautiful month!
