JANUARY 2010 StarForce by Alexandria

Some may say that your birthday month is often overshadowed by Christmas festivities. However, this year you’ll find yourself in ‘Celebration Central’ shining brighter than ever as you prepare to take a big step of truth and purpose into the New Year. What will make you smile even more is that those who surround you are prepared to listen to your truth, and they begin coming to terms with the changes that they and only they can make.

In late December you could feel that you’re standing on the edge of a relationship precipice as the weight of Jupiter, the Moon, Chiron and Neptune septile with Pluto gives you the impression that you’re in a choice cul-de-sac. However, if you’re prepared to take a life changing step back into your heart, you’ll see that there are many options around you, but you’re required to relinquish your inner conflict to discover them.

The Full Moon at the end of December will give you the impetus to embrace a New Year of optimistic horizons as Jupiter prepares to move into your sign in late January. Although your path through 2010 may have many twists and turns, your naturally flexible attitude will mean that you’re very capable of feeling your way through January so you’re ready to align with Jupiter by 18th.
Angel of the month: Cooperation

2010 will begin with a hint of trepidation and a gasp of excitement as a retrograde Mercury reminds you of the importance of integrity and honouring your personal truth. With Uranus and Jupiter promising some profound changes from June onwards, remember that keeping your feet firmly on the ground is the best way for you to benefit from this year’s life changing spiritual acceleration.

You feel unsettled at the beginning of the year with Mercury retrograde in fellow Earth sign Capricorn. Although you can’t put your finger on what has changed, don’t let the ‘unfamiliar’ propel you into worry. Connection to Mother Earth will help you realign with your world and after the Solar Eclipse you’ll understand why you’ve been out of sorts.

Ironically, many aspects of your current cycle of life will come to an end at the beginning of 2010. A part of you will be relieved at the prospect of a complete structural overhaul, but don’t attempt to complete this by the end of January. Instead, remember to let your heart lead you through your changes so that you can cooperate with Universal flow and make the process relatively effortless.

The retrograde nature of Mercury could muddy Cancerian waters in the latter part of December as the Full Moon energy builds and you feel your world spinning around like a mini whirlpool. Fortunately, the gentle warmth of a retrograde Mars in Leo will show you that your life is expanding and you’re required to relax the walls of your comfort zone so you can enjoy it!

A bubbly start to 2010 could turn into a babbling month of inconsistency and unfinished business if you’re unwilling to make a self loving plan. So why not start with an enthusiastic but well disciplined approach so that you’ll be able to put your money where you mouth is by 8th? That way, you can experience the material and immaterial nature of abundance, rather than simply counting the monetary cost.
Angel of the month: Honesty

How you start 2010 depends on how open you are to change. For many Virgos, January represents both a sudden ending and also the completion of a whole life cycle. What’s even more surprising is that Mercury, Pluto and the Lunar Eclipse in Cancer won’t stop you in your tracks. Instead, you’ll welcome a complete change, even if the form of that change has yet to be defined.
