Kimberley Maxwell Starcast looks ahead to New Year Sports fans should have reason to rejoice on January 1st, as Mars in Aquarius opposing Jupiter in Leo should make for some exciting New Year’s day matches, where big displays of strength, prowess and sheer competitive force will be evident. For those of us in the bleachers, we would be well served to channel that urge to assert constructively (tune into the Capricorn planets for help with that), rather than allowing a cocky over-confidence ignore that little voice inside advocating for temperance. Jupiter infuses Mars’ actions with a cause, complementing the muscle with a higher might. Crusader consciousness, however, can quickly devolve to self-indulgent extremes if not graced with a connection to the grand plan of the larger consciousness system. Trial by fire may be the theme for January 3rd when the Sun squares Uranus in Aries and conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn. Hearts may burn with a profound sense of uniqueness and connection to hidden powers, a combo that at the very least would jolt anyone out of apathetic doldrums. The key here is to purify any intent with as wide a consciousness as possible, or risk acting out like a petty tyrant forcing radical, self-aggrandizing agendas upon anyone within reach. The creative force of the Sun, aligned with transformational Pluto at it’s best can be spurred on by the innovative impulses generated by electric Uranus. Archetypally this energy has the potential to convert the complacent into dynamic forces of change. This may be the day to set New Year’s resolutions into motion. Midway between the Sun’s translation of the Uranus/Pluto square on the 3rd, Venus’ shift into eccentric Aquarius, which is ruled by Uranus, may further shake things up, especially if we adopt the spirit of detachment that characterizes this liberating sign by giving us the freedom to be who we truly are without the sway of others invading our choices. Of course, that also sets us up to be the rebel so we best be prepared for resistance from outside sources as we begin to dance to the beat of that different drum. Depending on how closely we are aligned with our own truth we may identify either with being an outcast or part of the avant-garde during Venus’ three-week stay in this socially aloof sign. Outside of the Moon travelling around the zodiac at a clip, the predominant chart pattern throughout this time is a fan (picture a fan and that’s basically it – all but one planet form the fan part, concentrated within the space of a wide trine – a120° to 128° angle…OK, orb stretcher here, this one is 132°, and the lone planet acting as the handle). The handle in this case is Jupiter in Leo, which gives the overall theme of the planetary arrangement enveloping us at this time a philosophical, bigger than life edge, not to mention a turbo bandwidth channel for the bundle of celestial energy bounded by disciplined Saturn in Jupiter’s home sign of Sagittarius, and groundbreaking Uranus in courageous Aries. Mars, the natural ruler of Aries, opposing Jupiter creates a thrust of potent energy back to the apex of the pattern. There is visionary fire written all over this cosmic structure (Leo, Sagittarius and Aries are all fire signs). May it motivate us to at least take initiating steps to learn how to effectively create the future we need in the here and now, and to reach out to others for support in tapping into our own inner resources in order that we may emerge into joyous fulfillment. Shake, baby, Shake! Here’s the data: *Times where noted are Pacific Time Zone. **Degrees where noted are rounded to the nearest whole degree.
