More years ago than I care to remember I was faced with the problem of writing a predictive article about a presidential election that was several months away from the party conventions, and with multiple candidates still in contention. Many of these candidates were relative unknowns, or at least untried outside of the fact that most held lower political positions. On top of that, of course, there was the fact that almost none of them had reliable birth times, if indeed they had publicly available birth times at all. My effort at making any sense of that election wasn’t much on the mark, though it did remind me that observation is more useful than textbook thinking. My analysis of these candidates’ prospects required me to use natal aspects and outer-planet…

YOUR JANUARY GUIDE 1st-8th: Mo’ money. As the new year gets underway, financial opportunities may present themselves, Gemini. When Mercury and Jupiter form a conjunction in your solar 8th, on the 2nd, start to work on finding new and reliable ways to save or invest with less risk and more reward. Even modest amounts in an annuity or a tax-free retirement account can improve your savings. 9th-16th. Talents and limits. The Full Moon (lunar eclipse) highlights your solar 2nd on the 10th, so rearranging your finances should take priority. As you think about investment opportunities, look at ways to earn more, perhaps including a small home business you can work on in your off hours. Consider every possibility, but know both your talents and your limits. 17th-23rd: Learning the realities.…

YOUR JANUARY GUIDE 1st-8th: Harmony at home. Mending fences with family members will be first on your list of New Year’s resolutions, Virgo. On the 3rd, Mars enters your sector of home and harmony (solar 4th) so get past initial arguments to reach a place of agreement, compromise, and ultimately love. It will happen if you exhibit patience and have the will to unite with each other. 9th-16th: Quality love time. With Venus entering your solar 7th on the 13th, arrange a romantic date night with your significant other. Amid the pandemonium of the holiday season, you may not have had quality alone time with the person you love most, so don’t waste a moment. If you are single, go out with a friend you have also missed seeing. 17th-23rd:…

YOUR JANUARY GUIDE 1st-8th: Financial news. Your financial situation may experience highs and lows, Sagittarius. With a stellium of planets in your solar 2nd, you may receive a salary increase or unexpected gift. On the other hand, you may be disappointed by a business deal that did not come through. Just hold tight and don’t overreact. These ups and downs will keep you guessing, but soon shall pass. 9th-16th: Strong and sweet. Mars entered your sign last week and will be there for the rest of the month, so you may feel empowered to speak your mind assertively. Remember to continue to be diplomatic even when you are sure of yourself. People will listen when you speak with authority but straight from the heart, so do both and you will…

YOUR JANUARY GUIDE 1st-8th: Best friends forever. Solidifying friendships that originated years ago is high on your priority list, Pisces. With so many planets gathering in your solar 11th you have learned how valuable long-term relationships are in your life. Nobody knows you better or appreciates you more than old friends who accept everything about you for better or worse. 9th-16th: Reunion time. On the 12th, Mercury, Saturn and Pluto are all conjunct in your friendship sector (solar 11th), so you will continue to try to round up a group of friends with whom you have always kept in touch. Organizing a reunion may be in the works, which means finding a date and location that suits everyone. Give it your best shot; it won’t be easy. 17th-23rd: Compassion first.…

In varying degrees each of us may be excited, nervous, fearful, or joyful wondering what 2020 will bring. All the answers to our questions can be found in our lead article “Forward to a Shining Future” on page 32. Now is the time to make your plans for the year to come! Until four years ago, Victoria’s reign of 63 years, 216 days as Queen was the longest, but though she has now been eclipsed in that respect by Queen Elizabeth, she is still the center figure in many books, movies, and docudramas about her reign. On page 38, “The Three Loves of Queen Victoria” gives us the astrological details of the real-life story of her husband Prince Albert, and two men who became her close (and often controversial) companions…

This month. I want to talk about Mars, who enters blunt old Sagittarius on January 3 and remains there until February 16. Considering that Mars in Sagittarius has the whole sky to shoot at and/or attack, I’ve had a hard time deciding which outer planet deserves our attention this month. After much consulting with oracles and my neighborhood soothsayer, I finally decided to deal with transiting Mars’ aspects to natal Pluto. And in honor of the famous bluntness of Mars in Sagittarius: that, as they say, is that. Let’s start by looking more deeply at Sagittarius. As we know, it is the Mutable sign in the fire triplicity, and mutability has often seemed to me a characteristic of fire – as does expansion. We can sometimes control fire and make…

YOUR JANUARY GUIDE 1st-8th: Innovative ideas. Embrace the arrival of the new year with a plethora of innovative work projects that are on the horizon, Aries. When Mercury conjoins Jupiter in your solar 10th on the 2nd, jump right into your professional and volunteer activities. Colleagues will be more than happy to listen to your ideas about how to move in a new direction. 9th-16th: Staying busy. With a confluence of five planets in your solar 10th you will have little breathing room outside of work, yet you will love every minute of it. Between organizing projects at your day job and taking on a new role in a group you belong to, you may hear rumblings from your family that they have not seen much of you lately. Do…

YOUR JANUARY GUIDE 1st-8th: Ups, downs, challenges. You may experience the best of times and the worst of times with someone you love, Cancer. With Mercury, Jupiter, Sun, Saturn and Pluto in your solar 7th all week you may have challenging disagreements that will take a few days to iron out. The good news is that once you resolve your issues, you will move forward and never look back. 9th-16th: Improving communication. With a stellium of planets in your solar 7th you will demand complete honesty from those you love, and in return you will do the same. The trouble is that not everyone responds well to that type of directness. When Mercury moves away from Saturn and Pluto and enters your solar 8th on the 16th you will be…

YOUR JANUARY GUIDE 1st-8th: “Relative” planning. Spending quality time with family will be important in the year ahead, Libra. A confluence of planets in your solar 4th, means you need to make a special effort to maintain better communication with members of your immediate and extended family. The holidays make it difficult to stay in touch, so do your best to make it happen. 9th-16th: Art of compromise. With Mercury, Saturn and Pluto all conjoining in your solar 4th on the 12th, the keyword for this week is “intensity.” Family matters sometimes bring conflict, so you may be asked to mediate if two family members disagree. Bringing people together is your strong suit, so use your talents in the art of compromise to make things right. 17th-23rd: Loving feeling. Venus…

YOUR JANUARY GUIDE 1st-8th: Regroup. It may seem as if everyone needs your help in a hurry, Capricorn, so do what you can, but also take time for yourself.

If you are pulled in all directions, just reflect, meditate, and regroup. 9th-16th: Hitting a high note. On the 10th, the Full Moon (a lunar eclipse) shines a spotlight in your solar 7th, so your personal relationships will hit a high note. Set aside quality time with your significant other to talk and to share positive news of recent events. If you are unattached, joining a singles group will help you meet likeminded people who share your…

You increase your chances for success when you time your actions according to the positions of the planets. For example, the area of your life associated with Capricorn in your birth-chart is in the spotlight now, as five planets visit that sign this month. The Sun and Mercury spend approximately the first half of January together in Capricorn, while Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto are in this sign all month, and beyond. This is an excellent time to review your recent decisions and activities, and then decide what your next move should be. Mars represents action, energy, and desire. As it moves through your chart, it prods you to take the initiative, to attack problems, and to turn desires into actions. From January 3 to February 16, Mars is in Sagittarius,…

January 2020 All positions are for Midnight EST. The longitudes table indicates each planet’s daily position in the signs. The declinations table shows each planet’s placement north or south of the celestial equator. “R” in a planet’s listing in the longitude table indicates that it begins retrograde motion on that date, or may indicate retrograde status at the beginning of the month. “D” means that the planet has resumed its forward (direct) motion in the signs. Exact times for all of these phenomena are given in the Hourly Guide and in the Planning Calendar on the pages following this one.…

YOUR JANUARY GUIDE 1st-8th: Set your sights. With Mercury, Jupiter, Sun, Saturn, and Pluto converging in your solar 9th, the time is right to expand your knowledge and improve your skills, Taurus. Consider options such as a higher degree, vocational certificate, or training program. An opportunity that once seemed out of reach may await you: set your sights on it and move forward. 9th-16th: Eyes on the prize. The Full Moon (lunar eclipse) shines in your solar 3rd on the 10th, followed by Uranus stationing direct in your sign that same day. You are more than ready to start a new educational journey, which may mean more travel between home and work and school. While it may not be easy, keep your goals in mind, and your eyes on the…

YOUR JANUARY GUIDE 1st-8th: Shaping up. Looking and feeling your best will be at the top of your list of New Year’s resolutions, Leo. On the 2nd, Mercury and Jupiter conjunct in your solar 6th advise you that if you indulged a little too much over the holidays it’s time focus on getting back in shape. Join a gym, take walks, and eat three healthful meals a day. You will see the difference right away. 9th-16th: Your creative time. With the Full Moon (a lunar eclipse) highlighting your solar 12th on the 10th, pull back from social commitments and reflect on your goals for the new year. Take more time to develop your creative expression by finding private space or a studio where you can work on this. Most important,…

YOUR JANUARY GUIDE 1st-8th: Like-minded friends. Get involved with a group or organization whose beliefs reflect your own, Aquarius. Mars enters your solar 11th on the 3rd so you will feel energized when you attend your first meeting, which might be even more meaningful if you interested a close friend in joining you. If you cannot, you will meet others with whom you can connect. 9th-16th: Family focus. With Uranus stationing direct in your solar 4th on the 10th, spending more time with family should be high on your list of New Year’s resolutions.

Listen to each other’s points of view, and then compromise on a plan you can all agree on.…
