Astrology - Your January/February 2001 Forecast

by Maureen Alyea

Note to all: The retrograde periods and general advice for each in 2001 are as follows:
Mercury: 2/3 to 2/24; 6/4 to 6/27; 10/1 to 10/21. Revise, repair and review. Make no new equipment purchases. Give yourself extra time if traveling. Venus: 3/8 to 4/18. Use more objectivity in viewing relationships and spending habits. It's not a good time to plan a marriage.
Mars: 5/11 to 7/18. It's best not to start new projects, buy a vehicle, undergo elective surgery or get married during this time period.
Jupiter: 9/29/2000 to 1/21/2001. Faith in government and religion will be questioned. Reevaluate philosophies, legal issues and management policies.
Saturn: 9/12/2000 to 1/24/2001. Hold off on building new structures for now. Leadership is questioned and appears ineffectual.
Uranus: 5/29 to 10/29. Retest inventions that have failed. It's best not to break for the first time from personal and business relationships.
Neptune: 5/10 to 10/16. Check to see where you may put moral values on spiritual beliefs. Get reacquainted with your musical instrument.
Pluto: 3/17 to 8/22. It's all about cleansing and recognizing where you put your power. Is it in your mind, or is someone controlling you?

ARIES - March 21 thru April 19
Grand plans may be just that -- grand, but they are not realistic. Keep a handle on secret attractions, though health resolutions involving dance or taking up an art hobby are in. Psychic sensitivity is high around 1/13; trust your instincts. Watch arguments from 1/20 to 1/22. Be careful in moving vehicles, including snow machines. New business after 1/25 could increase income. Watch impulse buys after 1/29, especially computers. Love could be in the air in February, possibly with someone older than you. Gentleness pays off. Buy some flowers for your sweetie.

TAURUS - April 20 thru May 20
Hang out the first two days of the year; escape into the tube or with music, because thinking is foggy. New friends are possible after 1/3, but watch a request for a loan. Use your instincts. There is a possible promotion around 1/22 and perhaps a surprise discovery about someone you put on a pedestal. Be careful of alliances on 1/17; trouble could come of it. Be flexible. You can clear the air with trusted friends now. Watch traffic! You are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel financially after 1/25, but tension could arise on 1/27. Think before you act. February brings responsibilities around the home front. Use care with older women that you feel are being especially stubborn. Stay sweet.

GEMINI - May 21 thru June 21
You are on a roll. Smile pretty for the camera. Rest the first two days of January; thinking is muddled anyway. Expect help and you will be rewarded on 1/5 to 1/6. Extra cash can come on 1/9 in a surprising way. Combine your instincts and common sense from 1/13 to 1/14 and you will succeed in a big way. After 1/24 travel becomes an interest. Watch impulsiveness around 1/27. Don't be tacky at work. Continue your positive start into February. You are a star now, so shine!

CANCER - June 22 thru July 22
First New Year's resolution: stick to your budget! Overspending is out. After 1/6, group activities can produce a very positive outcome. You can kick a bad habit after 1/9. Create the reality you want using visualization and affirmations. Love is shaky until 1/17, but will get clearer after then. Watch decisions around 1/25; a good friend can help you clear your head. In February, keep finances under control and do what you do best: keep the home fires burning.

LEO - July 21 thru August 22
Change is the order of the day. Keep taking reality checks with close friends and yourself because clarity is elusive. You have so much energy; the temptation to jump into anything new is all consuming. Life has got to change for you, but know what bridges to burn and which ones to cross. Work should be satisfying in January, though the changes inside yourself are nagging you. It is attitude adjustment time. Be careful about overspending with your friends to look good. Get alone and consider the mate you have as possibly being the best thing you have going. Watch overreacting to your impulsiveness. Go slow.

VIRGO - August 21 thru September 22
Do not mix business with pleasure with a co-worker. You will be caught, and it will not suit your long-range goals. After 1/5, luck is coming your way. You will feel like God loves you. Your talents will be appreciated. Have fun after 1/9 and allow for more unconventional, spontaneous meetings and greetings. Your diet will be more disciplined after 1/14. Your boss may be impressed with you in January, but be careful of decisions on 1/25; don't be pressured into something you are not ready to do. Slow down a bit in February and learn compromise; everyone is not moving at your pace.

LIBRA - September 24 thru October 23
Watch your budget now. Holiday spending could curb your pocketbook for the first part of the month. In fact, you will be happy to get back to work. Don't hesitate to improve your image because it could result in a nice liaison before 1/12. Watch confusion around 1/13 and keep a clear head. There is a possible raise after 1/17, but do not react to jealousy from a co-worker. Consider consequences if you need to blow off steam around 1/20 and 1/22. New opportunities are coming the last week of January. In February go with the wave you are riding now.

SCORPIO - October 24 thru November 22
New Year's Day is a bit rocky. Stay upbeat and honest in your personal relationships. Things will ease up after 1/3. Realize your blessings. You could be facing a can't have/can't let go situation in a relationship. Be kind in all your dealings with others. A lunar eclipse on 1/9 will allow you to reevaluate and improve on long-term goals, and allow you to move into your new work and end a dead-end relationship. Have you considered real estate? Watch over-reacting from 1/17 to 1/23. Don't make decisions until the air is mellower. Change your life by changing your mind after the new moon. Don't sabotage yourself because of rebelliousness. Appreciate!

SAGITTARIUS - November 23 thru December 21
Follow your gut feelings in January. The heart must rule. Relax with family and friends and don't react to conversations. A job offering may appear around 1/6. Financial advantages from others are coming your way. Pettiness is out the second week of January, but watch your promises as well. How much do you want to deliver? Negotiations are your best bet the last of January. Tie up loose ends and consider working from home. Jupiter opposing you creates many opportunities; just be clear that is where you want to go before saying yes. Life is good and getting better. Cancel the small stuff. Think freedom.

CAPRICORN - December 22 thru January 19
Don't bet the farm on the football game on 1/1. Clarity comes after 1/3 and luck is with you in asking for a raise. You are on a roll after 1/9; however, life may turn out differently than you planned. Watch finances and follow your instincts. After 1/24, be ready for a new financial opportunity and a renewed interest in your career. Do watch electrical outlets and machinery, and drive carefully. Keep a check on what you want and what you need. Do they coincide? In February, keep on trucking and reap the benefits. Thank your angels.

AQUARIUS - January 20 thru February 18
Are you setting aside some savings for the rainy day? Change is good because that is what you must get used to for this year. The first of the year is not clear but after 1/5, luck could prevail. You can rework your career this year, but it takes patience. After 1/10, get creative. Do you need freeloading friends? Do they give as well as take? If not, do you need them? Start fresh on the new moon and don't be afraid of the new changes. Act in your own best interests and follow your instincts. They are solid. Keep on trucking!

PISCES - February 19 thru March 20
Fantasies abound around the 1st of the year. Hold off decisions until after 1/5. Be careful of what you wish for around 1/9 because it could come true. You can break a bad habit on 1/11, but may backslide on 1/13. Just go for it. Don't regret. Stay clear and near home the second week of January. It's a minefield out there. Work behind the scenes on a personal project or just dream for awhile. Be careful on the road around 1/27. Take a dance class in February. Music is your salvation and your healer. Enjoy!
