Aquarius in 2010
2010 Aquarius Period of Confusion
Mercury moves into his retrograde phase three times a year as a rule, for about three weeks each time. This year Mercury hits reverse four times, which is quite unusual. The retro phase marks a time of confusion and misunderstandings, which can affect arrangements, travel, transport, appliances, machinery and communications. The breakdowns that occur are a function of neglect, inattention, simple misunderstandings or component failure. They will often bring to the fore the very contingency we should have planned for—and didn't. During the retro period, and even for a week or two before and after, in the Mercury Shadow, we need to be aware of this tendency. It is best to put off major decisions, or signing crucial documents and agreements. It is not exactly wise to make important decisions while Mercury is retrograde, since it is likely they will be clouded by misinformation, poor communication and careless thinking. Mercury is all about mental clarity and the power of the mind, so when Mercury is retrograde these intellectual characteristics tend to be less acute than usual. Make sure you pay attention to the small print!
Mercury's turned retrograde on Boxing Day, December 26th, 2009, in Capricorn, the sign of the Sea-Goat, your twelfth house. Information slides into view that must be kept confidential, but you won't be inclined to share your thoughts or ideas with others anyway. Information about the past, or contact with people from your past is in the stars, and you might be inclined to take covert action. Messages you receive at this time may be very subtle or contain hidden meanings meant only for your understanding. Under this influence you are encouraged to follow your intuition, get in touch with your subconscious, and pay closer attention to your dreams. The Cosmic Trickster turns direct again on January 15, at the Capricorn New Moon, which is conjunct fortunate Venus, so communications may arise with a lover from the past, and you can make progress helping the underprivileged. Mercury still behaves as if he were retrograde during the shadow phase, which lasts until Feb 4.
Mercury's second reverse motion cycle begins in Taurus, the sign of the Bull, on April 18th. This phase with Merc square Mars and square your natal Sun can lead to disarray in matters connected with home, family, and your domestic considerations. The focus of your attention turns to such things as real estate transactions, repairs or other matters related to your home or property, family discussions, family business transactions, and correspondence with or short trips to visit relatives. Be sure all the paperwork is accurate and up to date, as trying to get things done is frustrating. Incorrect information or directions may cause you to be too early, or too late. The wretched car may break down, or transportation delays trash your travel schedule. Buying a car or other equipment may be beset by snags. Others may say things, or use methods that provoke you. Avoid rash behaviour; make sure you understand any information you receive. No matter what the headaches, you still make measurable progress. You are likely to be more competitive or aggressive, which can help you accomplish more. Protect yourself against airborne colds and fever and take extra precautions when handling electrical equipment and volatile materials. You may also be inspired under this influence to collect and restore family heirlooms, gather information on your family's genealogy and other aspects of family history, or visit your childhood home. Mercury moves forward on May 11th, with the shadow lasting till May 29.
Mercury's third retro cycle begins in Virgo on August 20th, with Mars and Venus conjunct in Libra, and Jupiter in Aries opposing Saturn in Libra. Virgo is your solar eighth house, so psychological analysis, or assessment and development of your talent and skills may require extra attention. Joint income may also be the subject of plans or discussions. You may be kept busier than usual handling inheritance, tax or insurance matters, preparing investment analysis, and allocating funds for the repayment or collection of debts, so be sure to read the fine print and don't take on extra responsibilities in this area. You may also seek information and ideas with regard to research and investigation projects or surgical procedures you may be contemplating. Venus and Mars are conjunct in Libra, so a love affair, or a cultural project connected with a foreigner, or someone you met whilst travelling, perhaps of a different race or religion. Faraway places and ethic attractions are in the wind. Mercury moves forward on September 12th, with the shadow phase around till Sep 27.
Mercury's fourth and final retro phase for the year begins on December 10, 2010, in Capricorn again. A lot of issues from the past have emerged during the last twelve months, concerning your work and health, and how you have dealt with secret enmity and covert hostility—but now is the time to get all this straightened out, so you can take advantage of Jupiter's very positive move into fiery Aries in January 2011, when you'll develop your knowledge and skills with computers, or any type of machinery and mechanical equipment. Communications and travel increase, widening your circle of contacts and encouraging the exchange of ideas and information. However, that's then, but now you may be forced to hide your personal influence as well as the material assets that may endow you with personal power. Your search for control of one sort or another may itself be hidden, or just not be very obvious to others. You may develop interest in dream analysis, occult subjects, and the development and use of intuitive and paranormal power such as clairvoyance and ESP. The opportunity for personal growth and spiritual epiphany is there, but beware of sudden splurges and showing off. Mercury returns to direct motion in Sagittarius on December 30th, so be sure your travel bookings and arrangements with friends are properly organised, for the shadow phase will dog your footsteps until January 18th. Have a wonderful year in 2011!
2010 Aquarius Turning Point
Your New Moon on Feb 14th sees Mercury in your sign opposing Mars in Leo, with Neptune also in your sign conjunct Chiron, the wounded healer. This marks a new beginning at a very personal level, affecting relationships, demeanour and presentation or image, but a misty or dewy-eyed idea of what will heal the deep wounds in your life may mislead you. Information too may lead to faulty actions, where erroneous ideas or contacts from the past create some hostility. Either that, or you misinterpret what it means. Don't do exactly the opposite of what you have been told; for even if you've correctly followed instructions, things may still go awry.
Acting rashly or failing to ascertain important details will have undesirable consequences. Don't purchase or sell a car, electrical or mechanical equipment; moreover, it would not be wise to take a trip, for travel is fraught with physical danger, equipment breakdown and delays or cancellations. You may strike out in an unexpected direction, or form a liaison with someone who is in some way uncharacteristic as a companion or partner. The temptation will be to withdraw from your current partner or connection, in order to pursue your own path. Changes, interruptions or breaks affect personal relations. It's time to undergo a strong shift in thinking or feeling, as you engage in unusual or radical communication, expression or action.
Your Full Moon comes on July 26th, in a fortunate aspect to the Great Chronocrators, Saturn and Jupiter. These two are in opposition, marking a big time of change in the world, and given that Uranus and Pluto are in on the picture, this Moon will be a doozy! Partnership matters or personal relations come up against a wall of obstruction, but should quickly reach a turning point. Legislation that imposes restrictions or additional responsibilities may mean the collapse of institutional structures that might otherwise have benefited you, especially if you were born in the early 1950's or early 1980's. Other potentials include restrictions related to the groups and organization to which you belong. Be ready to expand your intellectual horizons, because success involves taking advantage of opportunities to learn, as well as to demonstrate your own knowledge or expertise. Then again, learning may be turned upon its head!
On the positive side, spiritual guidance, religious activities, cultural pursuits, and political activities are stimulated. Superiors or authority figures may be instrumental in you getting something published, or with long distance travel plans. Opportunities lead to ultimate success through court decisions, or the job and health of a parent, or a partner. In weeks ahead, the hard work, planning, and organization that have marked your efforts in the past may bring the rewards you deserve. Others are likely to praise you for your loyalty, honesty, and integrity. It's time to correct mistakes that led to past failures and use whatever else you have learned to begin another enterprise that, under this influence, has an excellent chance to succeed.
2010 Aquarius Lunar Life
Eclipses of both the Sun and the Moon often indicate the end of a cycle or a significant change in the direction or pattern of the affairs governed by the house in which the eclipse falls. Eclipses of the Sun affect work, direction and relations with people in authority. Eclipses of the Moon affect matters connected with home, family and emotions as well as relations with women and children, and with the public at large. Both may affect your health.
The year begins with Lunar Eclipse at the Full Moon in emotional Cancer on Dec 31, New Year's Eve 2009, marking a private goodbye to a year that no-one is sorry to see the last of. Saturn in Libra is square the eclipse, so you may not be in control of circumstances under this influence, but you will nevertheless be called upon to measure up, to take a responsible position in some way. Life may be, or seem to be, more sombre than usual. Your timing is off and you are more easily discouraged by problems you may usually regard as minor annoyances, and family relationships may be rather strained. The answer is to forge ahead. Forget instant gratification—wait for the rewards or real enjoyment to come later. Your unconscious motivations and the influence these hidden factors have on your conscious drives are active now. Have you an unconscious resentment of authority? Now is a good time to analyze why you may have developed hidden resentments, especially regarding work and working relationships. A need to use or gain hidden power and control or even to hide the power and resources you have is stimulated. Understanding your subconscious, courageously dealing with failure or shame and accepting limitations will develop remarkable inner strength and determination. Mars is retrograde in Leo, so the year promises a toughening of your attitude to marriage and partnerships, probably through the influences of someone from the past. Legal issues and open confrontations of various kinds may emerge, especially in the first six months. Watch what you say, for misunderstandings can lead to trouble up until the Solar Eclipse of January 15, when retro Mercury turns direct again.
An annular Solar Eclipse comes with the New Moon in Capricorn on January 15th. Capricorn is packed with planets, so the urge to break with the past and strike out in a new direction is especially strong. Capricorn is your solar twelfth house, so the need to withdraw into yourself is strong. You'll need to think deeply about your inner need to break from the past and move forward, though with Sun, Moon and Venus in conjunction, your emotional state is more positive than you might expect. This eclipse could mark the new beginning you seek with regard to big institutions (hospitals, universities, prisons and the like), the government, or corporate relations. Your partner's health may be under pressure. Mercury turns direct today, so make sure that lines of communication are clear. Information, ideas and activities may be directly related to regaining your personal power, especially with regard to finance and investment, organization and methods for accomplishing work, or developing some aspect of greater self-discipline. If you are involved in research, investigation, psychoanalysis, renovation, or property assessment, this is a period to watch for increased information or communication, perhaps even travel connected with these matters. The urge to expand your financial horizons increases once fortunate Jupiter enters Pisces on Jan 18, but don't blow the budget trying to keep up with the Joneses. Romance is in the air for eligible Aquarians, the love goddess enters your sign on the same day. However, it could well be a secret attraction, for the twelfth house rules secrets.
A Lunar Eclipse comes with the Full Moon in Capricorn on June 26th, stimulating or finalising a change, perhaps a break in relations with your employment, or a serious obstruction, requiring a reconstruction of family relations. Bear in mind that others will stand firmly in your way if you try to get to the bottom of things. Save power plays for another day. This is not the time to dwell on or dig up the past. Others will be intimidated by or envious of your self-control or any power you have, so play it cool. The movement of the eclipse cycle has placed the focus firmly upon your work and health and your inner motivations, along with your relationships with professionals and large institutions this year, ever since the Lunar Eclipse in Cancer on New Year's Eve. You must find a new place to stand with regard to these areas of life. Tread carefully this month, for on the day of the eclipse, Mercury and Jupiter are under severe pressure. Your father or other important male figure, or his status and influence, are not favoured. Information and ideas have to be gathered, methods discussed, and choices made. On top of that, you may experience difficulty and frustration when you try to organize everything simply because of the volume of things that come your way. Under this influence details can easily slip away, so you have to make sure that you get all of the information you need, and that the information you get is accurate. Beware of getting bogged down with with so many details that it becomes difficult to see the overall picture. Resist the tendency to exaggerate or expand on a situation or the information at hand, especially at work. All in all, progress is likely to occur one way or another.
A Solar Eclipse comes with the New Moon in Cancer on July 11th. Working relationships will be subject to change, a separation, or a cyclical ending, associated with a new beginning that will produce new developments that could help yopur health over the months to come. This a good time to examine what does or does not motivate you to work. Do you take pride in carrying out daily tasks and responsibilities with efficiency? Does whether you work for yourself, or for someone else, make a difference to your attitude? You are more aware of your personal status or influence with workmates and subordinates. A tendency to be ruled by stubborn pride, especially at work, should be controlled. The consciousness of your vitality brings an increased awareness of your own mortality. This may prompt a greater concern with the state of your general health, perhaps generating an enthusiasm for proper diet and physical fitness. You'll be concerned with lawyers and legal matters, debates, contract negotiations, partnership or other alliances, and joint ventures of any kind. Various consultants are in the wind. Stay out of the law courts and keep your activities low key.Financial matters will occupy much of your attention, but you might also take an interest in sex, or at least in talking about it!
A Lunar Eclipse comes with the Full Moon in Gemini on December 21st, the Solstice, so this eclipse should be a little bit easier on you than the previous three. Saturn is moving forward nicely, but Jupiter and Uranus are square the eclipse, back in your house of personal finances and values. You may be tempted to exaggerate your social status, professional position, intellectual accomplishments, or monetary assets. Restlessness and discontent, or others you wish to impress, may stimulate this exaggeration. Be warned, past actions (good or bad!) may catch up with you. Mercury and Jupiter are under pressure too, just as they were at the Solar Eclipse in June, so this should bring matters that have been bubbling beneath the surface to a very visible head. You are unlikely to be able to control the circumstances you encounter during this period. Your normal schedule or the plans you have made may be disrupted by the weather, war, or other forces in your outer environment. Though you may not be able to control the disruptions themselves, they may stimulate you to adopt an unusual or different approach to things on a personal level. Communications and travel in particular are likely to be subject to disruption, as Mercury is retrograde, but it's a good time to work in with charitable organisations, helping the needy and the underprivileged. Explore and develop your inner strengths, and gain a deeper understanding of your childhood conditioning, subconscious mind, fears, and dreams.
