JANUARY 2012 StarForce by Alexandria

The landscape of your life seems barren in your birthday month while your Higher Self helps the seeds of New undergo their germination. Although it might appear boring to ego, this is a necessary phase of simplicity. Mercury is here from 7th to help ignite some practical enthusiasm, reminding you that from small acorns do great oak trees grow.

You feel in limbo at the beginning of the New Year as waves of healing move through the Zodiac and your mind is sluggish, weighed down with what you think your life should be rather than what is actually before you. Fortunately, the earthy calm of Capricorn will help lift your mental fog. After this, you’ll see a less distracted and more grounded path through 2012 begin to unfold, helping you understand how to incorporate how you feel into your life.

2012 is full of the promise of magic and mystery for Pisces. However it’s important at the start of the year that you balance being in the material world with the dreams and visions you share with your Higher Self. Much that you’ve hoped for will move closer during this year but remember, going with the flow and keeping your options open doesn’t mean that you can’t commit to what you want.
Angel of the month: Clarity

There are many breakthroughs and surprises for Aries in 2012 but a fire-and-brimstone attitude during January could scorch essential parts of your current life structure. So take a step back and be aware that your ego is trying to team up with the belligerent side of Capricorn rather than supporting you in some simple but far reaching practical reform.

Venus will help you change your mind at the beginning of the New Year about many aspects of your world. But changing your mind and doing something about that change will be the foundation of your challenges and healing in 2012. So tread carefully through January, then you can pick your footing wisely and be able to assess the impact of the impression that you leave behind.

2012 is a balancing act between what has been and what will be as Light and material perspectives move closer together and the impossible becomes do-able. This could be a year of great anxiety for all Air signs but if you can continue to meld what you feel and what you think, doubt will dissolve as the head and heart work together rather than against each other.

Cancerian energy will be vital in 2012, bringing both flexibility and cohesion to the bonds of community. But before you launch into enriching your relationships, make sure you’ve found your own centre first. Then you won’t get caught in quick-drying cement when Pluto, Mercury and Sun align in your opposite sign, Capricorn, giving you the impression that your flexibility initiatives are useless.

If you feel you’ve only been using first and second gear in last year’s journey of life then 2012 will offer increased acceleration, as well as the sense that you’re getting where you want to go. But as Capricorn will remind you this month, force is a declining parameter in our world and loving who you are and what you do will be the foundation of your Midas touch in 2012.
Angel of the month: Manifestation

This month Mars will begin to slow down in your sign, preparing for its retrograde stay in Virgo from the end of the month onwards. So don’t mistake a period of shifting direction for one of stodginess. Unlike other signs, you’re very capable of digesting this change of pace. Why? Because Virgo can be at its most productive and fulfilled when willing to channel inner calm into creative expansion.
