Astrology Forecast for January 25-31, 2015

Hi Everyone! We have just entered one of the most, if not THE most, important time zones of the year. Our beloved teacher, Rav Berg, always waited impatiently for the energy of this week to appear in the cosmos.

Let's try to better understand how this is playing out cosmically...

First of all, this week’s chart is on fire with eight burning planets! Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, and Aquarius (the fire of the air, let's not forget) are creating an energy jungle! Beware of impulsivity and anger though. We need to remember to pause a little before doing or saying anything. We also have a very strong presence of Pisces with Mars already in that sign, conjunct Chiron and Neptune–all in compassionate Pisces. Of course, to spice it all up, Mercury is in retrograde motion, along with Jupiter!

Wow, what a chart!

What on Earth is the cosmos trying to tell us?

The first lesson is to really connect with the great humanitarian calling of the sign of this month, Aquarius. There must be a good reason why our souls all decided to reincarnate in this famous age unanimously called The Age of Aquarius.

With all the fire of this week, literally everyone will feel that certain causes are indeed burning in our hearts and worth fighting for. This calling should be cultivated, enhanced, and talked about by every one of us. That's the first mission of this week!

As human beings, we feel a lot more comfortable in our domain of friends and close circles. This week’s chart really stretches and E X P A N D S our consciousness (and definitely our beloved comfort zone). Of course, I don’t mean that we should go around preaching! We just need to keep in mind that our mission this time around is to INSPIRE.

On the flip side, with the Aries energy and effects of Mercury retrograde, the cosmos is giving us a choice between two very different realities. The first is obnoxious and all about me, myself, and I (that’s the Aries, the baby of the zodiac!) The other reality is gigantic, open, and connected to the entire world. Remember, Aquarius is the water bearer, the one in charge of spreading knowledge to the universe.

So, are we going to be affected by every day small annoyances, be reactive, or choose to be a prickly cactus? Or, are we going to choose a different reality and consider all the work we could do to help others grow and develop?

The choice is ours, really. But if we choose the second reality, then the cosmos will provide us with many small miracles and sparks of unbelievable and unexpected knowledge (Uranus is in the 9^th house of wisdom). Since Mars, the moon (in courageous, but impulsive Aries this week), and Neptune are in the 8^th house, the domain of transformations, the shift to a better reality will be a lot easier and long lasting. Kabbalistically, this is THE week to use "mind over matter" and see how our thoughts can bring about blessings for today and visions for the future.

Another very simple exercise this week is becoming more aware of our thoughts and feelings (Pisces), and starting to eliminate all the selfishness and melancholy within them. Believe it or not, we all have horror movies playing in our brains all too often. Whether our vampires are fears, negative past experiences, or simple anxieties over the future, this week's energy will show us how a simple shift of mind can make them all disappear and enlighten a much better plan for the future.

A second recommended exercise is to share a dream we have had for a while about fulfilling our potential with a loved one and ask them to help us to realize it.

Let's go, guys! This week, the sky is the limit!

Much love to all and have a brilliant, miraculous week!

Yael
