A warm hello.

This Solar Eclipse, formed by the New Moon in exact alignment with the Sun in Aquarius, will also launch the Lunar New Year!   The driving energy of Mars and Pluto in Aquarius add to the intensity – this is a powerful time for creating change and breaking important new ground, but we'll need to keep it positive and wise!  
Also in some way, there may be a personal change it’s time to make; it’ll include letting go old thinking and practices, doing things differently and exploring unusual possibilities.

Wishing you joy,
Karen

A warm hello.

The New Moon joining the Sun, Mars and Pluto in Aquarius, and squaring the planet Uranus in Taurus denotes an important or unusual new beginning, followed by a few twists and turns; with all this Aquarius, we will want to do things our way.

The Moon moves on, to join Venus and Mercury in Pisces, indicating a caring message, meaningful exchange or sentimental highlight.

The planet Saturn will finally leave Pisces and join Neptune in Aries – it will transit Aries until 2028 and bring renewed determination to achieve ambitious dreams and goals! (Revisiting your Saturn in Aries forecast in the ‘Big Planets, Big News’ playlist on my YouTube Channel will clarify what this means for you.)

​ARIES.   Here is the New Moon and strong Aquarius accent: a rare or unusual occasion or encounter will be inspiring; it’ll offer interesting ideas and thought-provoking information that motivate and lead you with something you’re keen to do.   A feast of fun get-togethers and outings are also set to unfold and they’ll bring surprise news, helpful insights and happy times, although they may be a bit on the expensive side.   A reunion or conversation with another that’s a walk down memory lane will touch tender nostalgic chords!
TAURUS.   With the New Moon and all the Aquarius here, the reins of a big and unusual project will be in your hands: expect changes of plans or direction as you go, you may also need to balance tensions or different points of view with some colleagues – you may not always see eye-to-eye.    A social invitation or encounter will be a joy and an opportunity to foster a connection you’d like to develop, a fun outing or occasion with a loved one will sweeten your relationship even more!
GEMINI.   The New Moon and strong Aquarius accent falls here: the desire to spread your wings, explore a new place, embrace a new social group, learn about a fascinating subject and pursue new ideas and opportunities will spark ambitious intentions – a feast of new experiences, and situations where you need to find your way, are set to unfold.   Travel plans could gather momentum or exciting plans with a distant friend or colleague will fire your enthusiasm.   A thoughtful exchange with a colleague will open new lines of communication, or be a chance for timely PR.
CANCER.   Here are the New Moon and build up of Aquarius energy: an important financial turn of events will be an opportunity to set up a new arrangement, deal with a pressing financial matter, explore a new financial idea or enterprise, or sort out some unusual, large outlays; you’ll be keen to take control and move forward.   A caring long-distance exchange will warm your relationship and spark sentimental memories.
LEO.  With the New Moon and this strong Aquarius energy accenting your relationship zone, a special event or project with a loved one may have some twists and turns, and require energetic support from you; a challenging issue with someone dear may test your understanding though, there may also be a situation where you need to rethink your approach, and a relationship that you’re keen to shift onto a new footing or make a start afresh.   A sentimental occasion, caring gesture or gift from another will leave a reflective afterglow.
VIRGO.   Here is the New Moon and strong Aquarius accent: an unusual new job, task or challenge will call for you to explore different ideas and approaches, also working with new or very different colleagues or clients will require thoughtful give-and-take.   A health, diet or fitness endeavour will be a learn-as-you-go pursuit and may require you to change some of your ways; an unusual physical task will test your resourcefulness.   A special interlude or exchange with a loved one will set the scene to nurture your relationship and a warm emotional togetherness.
LIBRA.   The New Moon and strong Aquarius accent here indicates new ideas and possibilities will inspire a fresh different approach or exciting plans with an interest or pursuit you’re passionate about, also special plans with a loved one will evolve and grow in unexpected ways; Singles, you could meet someone special through a shared interest or endeavour.   Acts of kindness, keeping promises and commitments, and giving generously to help or make others happy, will be genuine labours and gestures of love that make a difference and build warmer bonds with others.
SCORPIO.   With the New Moon and strong Aquarius energy here, a big family undertaking or commitment will be a handful with unusual or changeable conditions or considerations to juggle and work around, you’ll need to build bridges of understanding with family issues or in a family situation, and an unusual domestic task or project will test your resourcefulness; planning ahead will require vision laced with adaptability so you can go with the flow.   A warm caring exchange with one of your children or another loved one will be heartfelt and your relationship will grow; discussing a creative project with someone whose talents you admire will spark new inspiration.
SAGITTARIUS.   Here is the New Moon and Aquarius accent: an exciting, unusual new project will take you into uncharted waters – you’ll meet unusual people, go further afield or to unusual places, and learn a lot as you go; you’ll need to think on your feet to handle changes of plans and unusual situations or issues smoothly, you’ll also have to make some big decisions.   A favourite visitor or family get-together will be a joy for the heart; thoughtful caring family exchanges will repair or refresh family connections.
CAPRICORN.   The New Moon and all the Aquarius energy accent your financial zone: there’ll be a unusual financial idea or issue to look into, research and understand better, a new financial arrangement to clarify and some big decisions with new purchases and expensive plans – this is the time to take control, keep it manageable, and steer the path forward!   There may be some unexpected expenses to factor into the budget as well.   A caring message will reach out to you – this will be your chance to put an upset or difference with another behind you, or to add a new dimension to a growing relationship.
AQUARIUS.   With the New Moon and powerful accent on your Zodiac Sign, new and unusual ideas will inspire you, and new personal goals will take shape; this is a time to review what you really want, to stay open to unexpected opportunities that may suddenly appear, and to adjust to changing or new conditions around you; there’ll also be situations where you need to lead the way, to make the most of progressive, expansive new possibilities and developments.   A special gift or caring gesture from another will make a loving statement.
PISCES.   The New Moon and all this Aquarius here indicates that you’ll push hard with a huge task or commitment to achieve a major goal that you’re working towards; you’re on course but it’ll take perseverance to get there!   Exploring a new angle with a problem or challenging issue you’ve been wrestling with, will open a positive new path.   There’ll be a surge of domestic tasks and family duties to organise and manage as well.   The Moon joining Venus and Mercury in your Zodiac Sign will bring a meaningful compliment or acknowledgement, a special invitation or overture from another and joyful loving times with someone dear; Singles, it may even bring a romantic turn of events!

A warm hello.

You’ll need to think outside the square to see the full potential of an idea, the solution to a problem, or to find innovative ways to tackle a task or complex issue; with all the Aquarius energy, you’ll find answers and inspiration lay in unexpected, unusual or unexplored directions.

​Wishing you joy,
Karen

A warm hello.

The planet Mercury moving into Pisces, joining the planet Saturn, will bring an opportunity in the days ahead for a conversation that’s been a long time coming!

The planet Uranus stationary and turning Direct in Taurus, for the last time during this Taurus cycle, will bring exciting steps forward with an important situation, relationship or undertaking that’s at a turning-point.

All this Aquarius energy signifies that a major theme or focus at the moment will require further strong purposeful efforts and follow through.

​ARIES.   The Mercury/Saturn emphasis here will bring a conversation you’ve been thinking about and preparing for, for some time; it will turn back time!   It will be full stream ahead with a financial enterprise or expensive plans and it will be exciting!   Building new connections will extend your circle of contacts and associates, catching up with friends and relatives will bring happy times, and you could splurge on special outings and fun activities.
TAURUS.   With Mercury and Saturn in Pisces here, an overdue get-together and conversation with a friend will fill you in on each other’s life, an outing or fun plans that’ve taken a long time to eventuate will also be a joy.   With the planet Uranus stationary turning Direct, for the last time during this transit of your Zodiac Sign, you may be poised to take a big personal step or make an important change – and it will be liberating!   Also, all this Aquarius here, points to a new direction opening for you, in your career or with a bold, unusual endeavour – you’ll be excited by the potential it offers!
GEMINI.   With the Mercury/Saturn emphasis here, discussing an ambitious project will bring information and ideas that enable you to make some overdue headway.   A discovery or clarification will finally clear up a matter from the past or help you make an important decision.   Broader horizons feature too – getting out and about, going further afield, exploring new places, meeting new people and new interests will open your thoughts to new ideas and possibilities and show you a bigger, wider world!
CANCER.   The planets Mercury and Saturn here indicate that a clarifying conversation will finally shed light on someone else’s point of view, define a plan or arrangement with another, or bring information or advice that guides you with a new endeavour; a long- distance exchange will bring interesting food for thought too.   Exciting personal or fun plans will surge ahead, an unusual new friendship or association could grow.   Financially, tt will be time to take care of some important business - a financial arrangement you need to reset, new plans you want to get off the ground or a bill it’s time to pay; paperwork with a contract, tax, super or insurance will require closer attention to details too.
LEO.   Here is the Mercury/Saturn accent: discussing expensive plans or a slow-moving financial undertaking or matter will clarify the details and help you make important decisions.   A grand, exciting new endeavour will take you down a new path and bring a feast of new experiences.   Relationships are also strongly emphasised - and you’ll put a lot of energy into trying to please other people, getting to know or figure out some people, and supporting loved ones with important things happening in their lives; there may be sensitive or awkward issues to work through too - be prepared for some thoughtful give-and-take!
VIRGO.   With Mercury joining Saturn in Pisces here, there’ll be much to discuss with your mate or a family member to bring plans on the drawing board to fruition, there may be differences to work through too, to understand where the other is coming from.   An unfolding interest or project will take you further into a new world.   Extra and diverse tasks on the job will push the pace, dealing with a changing situation, colleagues or clientele will ask more of you; a health goal could require a concerted effort too.    There’ll be special family commitments and promises to keep as well.   It should be a productive and profitable time but quite demanding.
LIBRA.   The Mercury/Saturn accent here denotes an overdue conversation with an associate will be an opportunity to establish a better rapport, resolve a matter that’s been up in the air, clarify the best approach to a big task, or to learn from someone with a lot of experience; a health discussion will also be enlightening – it’ll guide you with a diet, fitness or health endeavour.   A special occasion or outing may cost a pretty penny but it will celebrate a milestone.   Someone new to love or special plans and commitments with loved ones will add to your happiness; alternatively, you could take on more with an interest or project you’re passionate about.
SCORPIO.   Here is the Mercury/ Saturn accent: a conversation with one of your children will be an opportunity to organise important plans, open a discussion you’re keen to have, or come to a new understanding.   An important change or opportunity for a loved one or in a relationship will shift it onto a new footing.   A domestic project or task will have additional elements that expand it significantly, there may be a change to your household situation or routine to adjust to, and diverse family duties could have you running hither and thither; an unusual or surprise turn of events will also keep you guessing.
SAGITTARIUS.   The planet Mercury joining Saturn in Pisces here could bring a family discussion that’s been a long time coming – this may consolidate a domestic or family project moving forward, or set the scene to discuss a family matter it’s time to address.   An unusual task or opportunity on the job will break new ground for you!   There’ll be much to do with travel plans or plans with a distant relative or friend, to get them happening; study or learning a new skill will be a stimulating challenge and an exciting, different type of endeavour will bring a feast of discoveries and new experiences.
CAPRICORN.   With the planet Mercury joining Saturn in Pisces here, you could receive news you’ve been hoping and waiting for; an enlightening discussion or some helpful advice will also answer questions you’ve been pondering.   A fun outing or activity will bring new and different experiences, set a new precedent and whet your appetite for more!   There’ll be a lot of financial business to work through too – special plans, purchases or a big transaction to factor into the budget, and some big decisions and outlays to weigh up; there may be an opportunity to increase your earnings or start a new financial venture to consider too.
AQUARIUS.   The planet Mercury joining Saturn in Pisces here will bring a financial discussion you’ve been preparing for; it will set your path with an expensive plan or complex matter.   A domestic situation or undertaking will take an unusual turn, then it will be full steam ahead.   With this major energy accent in your Zodiac Sign, your input will shape a special new endeavour or situation, you’ll motivate others with your ideas and vision, and you’ll have to organise plans and get-togethers with others to make them happen as well as be pro-active with your own goals to bring them to fruition.
PISCES.   With the planet Mercury joining Saturn in your Zodiac Sign, you could initiate a discussion you’re keen to take further, an opportunity to clear up a misunderstanding with another will also be a relief.   Moving forward with an exciting, unusual plan or project will fire your enthusiasm; it will be a learn-as-you-go experience!   Working towards a long-term target with a work, domestic or family endeavour, a goal you’ve had in your sights for some time, will call for focus and discipline – there’ll be distracting conditions and commitments along the way but ‘keep on, keeping on’ and you’ll get there!

A warm hello.

Being willing to consider new ideas and possibilities this week will help you to see options that aren’t immediately obvious; also, the information and greater understanding you gain will guide you to good decisions.

​Wishing you joy,
Karen
