Happy New Year

Happy New Year, Everyone, Sun entered Aries on the 21st, beginning the New Zodiac Year--time for all of us to step out, blaze new trails and start afresh. Happy Birthday Aries! Your ruling planet, Mars will be at an optimum angle with Venus through month's end--good time to celebrate with your friends; everyone will love you! And, may the Stars continue to be gracious to you all year long leading you to health, success and happiness. As usual, it's a mixed bag with the Stars. Mercury (now in Pisces), ruler of Gemini and Virgo comes out of retrograde on the 25th. We should all feel the relief and easement in our communications with others as well as those short trips around town. However, lest we get too comfortable, on the 29, Pluto, Scorpio's ruling planet, Pluto goes into retrograde (appearance of going backwards) in Sagittarius. On that same day, Mars, co-ruler of Scorpio, will be opposing (about 180 degrees) Pluto. This is anything but a peaceful aspect. Be on the lookout for aggressive tendencies, power trips, and conflicts. By 22 April, this unpleasant aspect will have passed. Let's all try to keep a lid on things! Onward and Upward, ~Paula
