Aries Weekly: Jan 30 – Feb 5, 2011

On January 30, 2011, in Aries, by David Shepard

Sunday January 30, 2011
Difficulty at the beginning; but hang in there. The first two days of this week are the most challenging. A real pulse is that both days have a similar theme to them, so if you’re awake to what’s going on below the surface on Sunday, you’ll have a good idea of how best to meet and defeat the challenges that pop up on Monday.

The problem in intensely focusing your Aries energies like you have over the last couple of weeks upon emotional drives and cultural values, is that you can become too inclusive … too far-reaching and end up missing the essential, initial goal. Acting as a lone wolf today puts you on the scent of success. It’s best to not force issues with VIPs today, even if it seems you have the upper hand. You need to let your hair down and relax. A social cal or gathering is perfect for making you feel like yourself again.

A desire for a larger type of integration has now emerged. It is no longer biological-impulsive or emotional-personal, but social-collective and institutional. You’re acutely aware there’s a real need to facilitate the centralization of power above and beyond the desires of any one individual. A decision-maker might try to exert control or renege on an agreement today. A power play will only make things worse, while a friendly overture turns the tide. A social gathering with good pals delights.

Holy Ground Hog Day! This is one of my most favorite holidays of the year. See if you can feel our collective energy begin to stir. Today, your creative/ romantic imagination is being triggered; have a heart-to-heart with your Muse, and the inspiration you’re seeking will surely follow. But remember, in dealing with the Muse it’s very important to be clear in what you’re asking for: Do you want to actively advance the experience of Beauty in the world around you right now? Or, do you want to have an elaborate, pleasant daydream that you’ll strive to realize sometime in the distant future? The areas in which your Muse is most tuned in now are with regard to long-term planning and social or business networking.

There are not only planetary rhythms and seasons here on earth, but also seasons of our Soul. One must be willing to go beyond the familiar in order to reach a meaningful balance and long-lasting integration of the everyday and the archetypal. You’re a power magnet now, attracting the right people—those in tune with your beliefs and long-range goals. Today, good career advice from a colleague or a lucky break is certain to catapult you to success.

Today, is the New Moon—it’s the official beginning of your month’s work. This morning, be sure to focus on what’s new and exciting. Mercury and Uranus are sextile (60 degrees apart, which is good) —great for the opening and expanding of new communication lines. This afternoon it may be necessary to air some hurt feelings; if you and another have the emotional courage to search for the truth together, you’re in for a surprise ending, much better than either of you expected.

Aries is the fire sign of “acting,” natives instinctively seek ways to resolve conflicts of interests and ideas by taking action, emotionally and spiritually. Today, don’t give into frustration; you’re grappling with intense mind vs. heart tensions: a spiritual ideal vs. some emotional necessity. What you secretly wish for in a relationship happens because you act decisively today. A private talk with somebody you respect validates your aims and image. At a social event, you connect with key VIPs.

The next three days are cosmically designed to “get your motor running.” No more January blues. Did you feel them? They’re kind of like Monday morning blues, except stretched out.

Our everyday life exists in a maze of opposites. The ritualization of our relationships helps us to see beyond, and even transcend our imprisonment—to become stronger individuals. This is at the heart of Tantra and the linking of two Souls. Today, by letting go of the ideal, you move into the pure energy of the moment. Socializing is your cup of tea, and lucky too. Your zest for life and friendship draws opportunity. Just try to set aside time for yourself or to be with someone privately tonight: important insights will surface!

Today’s Sun-Mars conjunction should produce an energy equivalent of downing a couple of Red Bulls. Whoa! Steady, girl. If you manage to stay focused, you’ll fly like the wind.

The image of weaving, creating a “wholeness” from separate strands of wool, is powerful. Today, your everyday living reflects the weavers art—an authentic wholeness and fulfillment; a prefiguring of the human tapestry in which greater harmony and individuated (unpossessive) love are realized. Whether in a crowd or intimate setting, you wow key people with your sharp intuition and understanding. Someone who matters is grateful for your generosity and kindness. An Internet connection is lucky.

With the Sun trine Saturn and Mercury sextile Jupiter, my advice is to be spontaneous; you can’t help but beautifully express your inner authenticity.

The likelihood of you establishing a “life-giving contact” with natural forces is greatly enhanced today. Your desire for more meaning, frees you from doubt, and opens your mind to the possibility of approaching life in a more holistic and intuitive manner. Get out and about now because your confidence is magnetic. Your fun, witty nature is a crowd pleaser and attracts fascinating contacts—maybe even a wish-fulfiller. So, ask for what you want; enjoy the response.
