AMSTERDAM
Aquarius
20 January-19 February
The 1st gets you off to a superior start. You brainstorm ideas that span the endless possibilities that two or more people can create. And it gets even better: On the 5th, Uranus goes retro until early December, giving you dozens of opportunities to get a project picture perfect. Use this time to research whatever the "standard" in your field is, and do your best to offer something much more intriguing, entertaining, useful, and escapist. Right now, most people are so stressed that anything that offers escape and entertainment works and, at least for the moment, distracts their minds from hardcore reality. The 8th, 9th, and 10th all bring offers and moneymaking ventures your way. If you're wondering if you'll make the cut, you WILL! The 11th bring a delightful New Moon/Solar Eclipse that indicates job offers, improvements in your daily life, lifestyle enhancements, and more reasons to stay in shape. Look, you've suffered for years. It's your turn to have some fun and a Cleopatra's barge loaded with goodies! The 13th is great for productive, very positive talks and action plans. Much brainstorming is in store for you. The 21st flips Saturn into Aquarius-friendly Libra – hurray! More icing on your cupcake!! This suggests contracts being drawn up, discussed and signed. Oh – there won't be just one contract, btw. This is a 2+ year transit, so you'll be busy and enterprising, signing several desirable contracts. Good for YOU! The 23rd turns Jupiter retro, right along side Uranus. This lasts until mid November, giving you plenty of assistance, help in organizing a business, program, performance, or presentation. Each experience will make you smarter and give you tips on what really works. The 25th brings a Full Moon in your sign – and along with it, more offers, contracts or deals to consider, and a request for money from an ex. You kind of knew that might be coming. The 26th is very enjoyable. You're very frank and hilariously funny and self-deprecating, making you everyone's fave. Keep up the great work! The 27th moves Mercury into Virgo and the 29th moves Mars into Aquarius-friendly Libra. Both of these developments tend to give you a decided advantage: more money, power and recognition for the tremendous work and sacrifice, heart and soul you've put into a project. The remainder of the month cautions against arguments with an ex, any sort of debate or unfriendly contact with someone who's taken advantage of you. Instead, do something creative, liberating, and something so fine that even you are proud of yourself. Monthly touchstone: Ruby.
