In General: Mercury
is retrograde as we enter 2017. However, it does move direct on January 9th. At
this point all the planets will be direct until February 5th when Jupiter takes
his turn to move retrograde. This is a good news window of opportunity. This is
where our New Year rightly begins! This New Year is offering us an opportunity
to plant fresh seeds and move in new and passionate directions. Mars is direct
for all of 2017 and this too is a positive vibe. Mars is the planet of action,
energy and desire. Having it direct all year will give us the motivation to
nurture our newly planted seeds and achieve the outcomes we want. This is the
year to re-evaluate our resources and how we are using them to live our best
life and aid others in doing the same.
Uranus
creates more positive energy for us in 2017, indicating that the world is
indeed moving on from the difficult times of 2016. We can look forward to
progress regarding our rights, and the rights of many others. People power has
much sway when Uranus is highlighted! Jupiter and Saturn also add more
positive energy bringing individual and Global awareness and expansion. It
should help the world’s economies to grow, open our minds to new and improved
ways of doing things and highlight on our humanitarian impulses.
The
first full moon of 2017 occurs on January 12th in Cancer. Cancer focuses on
issues of home and family, emotions and internal foundations; so during this
Full Moon we need to make an effort to be nurturing, encouraging, and
understanding of ourselves and each other.
The first new moon of 2017 occurs on January 27th in Aquarius. This new
moon encourages us to look at the world from a wider perspective and be more
objective. It asks us to begin our year with humanitarian compassion and open
minds.
Quote of the year:
And in today
already walks tomorrow. ~Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Aries:
The main areas highlighted for 2017 are partnerships
and your long- term career. So focus your energy here as you have the planets –
including ruler Mars very much on your side this year. Uranus is going to make
you speak up and develop a strong voice. In fact its purpose is to liberate you
by bringing the hidden you to the surface. Whatever has been buried inside you
for years, will come to the surface so that it can be healed, dealt with and
released, once and for all.
Meditation: Try this little meditation to clear the throat
chakra and help you speak your truth beautifully. Bring
your hands together by connecting your pinkies together and your thumbs
together with the base of your palms touching and your fingers spread like a
lotus flower. Place your hands over your throat. As you breathe, visualize
bright blue light until you feel calm and balanced. Inhale what you need to
speak your truth and exhale anything blocking your truth from being spoken as
you heal.
Inspiration: Feelings come and go
like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor. ~Thích Nhất Hạnh
Taurus:
Jupiter should boost your confidence levels at work
and this in turn should result in increased money coming your way in 2017. Yes
there is hard work but the hard work means you will be ready to take
opportunity where it presents itself. Taurus, keep your eye on the prize. 2017
is a time in your life to strive for a secure future! You have boundless energy
in 2017 but need to remind yourself that its ok to say no to some things and
listen to the needs of your body!
Meditation:
Spend one day a week without your phone turned on, away from the computer and
with very little or no TV. Over stimulation is as much a trigger for stress as
over worry or over work!! Do something creative, go for a walk, to the beach,
listen to gentle music instead!
Inspiration: I am,
indeed,
a king,
because I know how
to rule
myself.
~Pietro Aretino to Agostino Ricchi,
Gemini:
This year the Gemini New Moon appears on the 25th May,
2017 and no matter when your birthday falls this really does mark the start of
a new cycle for you. But you may be too serious for your own good this year.
Don’t get involved in problems that aren’t directly related to you. Take care
of your own issues or you may be dragged into more than you are bargaining for.
You’re eager to partner up with someone and may make a long-term commitment in
2017.
Meditation: Laughter Yoga for a little fun!! If you keep
a slight smile on your face all the muscles in your face relax, and you will
discover that you really do feel better!!
Inspiration: The world always looks brighter from behind
a smile. ~Author unknown
Cancer:
This year a great sense of pleasure is felt by being at
home with your family. A good deal of
focus will be on your home and some positive changes may be made to the home as
well. If there have been problems on the domestic front, then they are more
easily smoothed out during the first ten months of 2017. One of the biggest
influences of the year will be an older mentor who really helps you advance in
your career.
Meditation: 2017 is the perfect time for getting out
into the garden and it doesn't have to all be hard work, sipping tea under the
shade of a tree can be the best tonic! Literally take time to smell the roses.
Inspiration: The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five
senses. ~Hanna Rion
Leo:
The 2017 forecast for Leo indicates that it is a good
time to connect and have some fun with siblings and neighbors. It is also a
good year to buy that car, get your car fixed or take those trips you have
always wanted to take. Leo, wonderful opportunities will surface if you are
open to reading, writing and expanding your mind in 2017. There will be a lot
of change throughout the year but if you can gently flow with it, your life
will be that much better.
Meditation: Try the following affirmation on waking,
spend a few moments and calm your breath, then say three times out loud. Today, I will go with the flow of life and let people and things
be as they will. I will accept that the only thing I can change is me and I
will know peace.
Inspiration: “Smile, breathe and go
slowly.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
Virgo:
2017 encourages Virgos to work even harder to get life
where they want it to be! To get those bills paid, things fixed, education or
degree you have been striving for, etc. Finances are on the up and up and there
is space and time to bring your goals to fruition! March will see someone
significant from the past reappear in your life. You will have the opportunity
to truly speak your mind and say what you always wanted to say!
Meditation: To relax take a fifteen minute walk and
stop occasionally “From standing, inhale and reach
your arms overhead. Exhale, bend your knees and fold forward (arms dangling or
resting wherever they come on your legs). Hang out here for a breath and then
on your next inhale, press through your feet and come up to standing, reaching
your arms overhead. Exhale and rest your arms by your sides.”
Inspiration: But in every walk with
Nature one receives far more than he seeks. ~John Muir, July 1877
Libra:
The Libra 2017 horoscope shows this is the year to
increase your assets and that includes savings and investments as well as the
money you have on call on a daily basis. You should be in line for a pay
increase, a better paying position or else a new source of income will open up
for you. Watch health though, and try to make positive adjustments to your
lifestyle. Alternative therapies can work for you now.
Meditation: Put your feet up against the wall. The Vipariti
Kirani yoga pose involves lying on the floor and resting
the legs up against a wall. Not only does it give the body a good stretch,but it
helps create peace of mind.
Inspiration:
Attention to the human
body brings healing and regeneration. Through awareness of the body we remember
who we really are. ~Jack Kornfield
Scorpio:
2017 for Scorpio points to a time of inner spiritual
learning, where links with your past, family karma, karmic connections with
others and soul path and purpose are revealed. Saturn, the planet of hard work
and discipline, will be in your sector of money and possessions bringing
lessons revolving around the prudent use of funds. It’s time to get smart with
your money and there will be more of it.
Meditation: Make
time to be alone and just sit quietly with your thoughts. Do this on a regular
basis. All the great geniuses of history have found times of regular solitude
and silence for themselves. You should too.
Inspiration: Silence is a source of great
strength. ~Lao Tzu
Sagittarius:
In 2017 you will work hard and reap the rewards. The
year may seem like a lot of responsibility and hard work, but you’ll be
impressed with the results and proud of your accomplishments. This is a time to
plant roots, set your sights on future goals and to start taking steps needed
to prepare for the future. Start the year by getting rid of the clutter, box up
old items that are collecting dust, throw away old paperwork that you don’t
need anymore, and get outdoors often to breathe.
Meditation: De-clutter your mind as well as your space. Write down
things you have trouble letting go of emotionally. Then burn the piece of
paper. Breathe, let go.
Inspiration: Clear clutter. Make space for you.
~Magdalena Vandenberg.
Capricorn:
The changes that you make to yourself, your home, or
your life in general in 2017 will lead to increased self-esteem. You’ll have a
better understanding of what you really want to do with your life. When you
feel good about yourself and your home, you feel optimistic in all areas of
your life. You may be in for a radical lifestyle change at the start of the
year bringing great opportunities for you to learn and grow.
Meditation: start a three compliments journal.
First, you will need a blank journal or a notebook, and a pen
or a pencil. When you wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, then grab
the journal and pen, and give yourself three compliments. Read them aloud in
front of the mirror and congratulate yourself. Then let your day go on as
usually.
Inspiration:
Be there for others, but never leave yourself
behind. ~Dodinsky,
Aquarius:
Jupiter is in your travel sector until October 2017, so travel is firmly
on your mind this year. Travel experiences may not be life changing, but your
perspective will certainly change Aquarius. However internal changes are more
important to you than external changes this year. Family dynamics could affect
your belief system and cause you to question old patterns. Pay special
attention to your health and don’t overexert yourself.
Meditation: Nourish your mind with some truly mind
opening fiction that shakes up your view of the world, exposes you to new
beliefs and generally asks more questions than it answers. Reading can be a
great meditation for you this year.
Inspiration:
I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it
extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world
within. ~Lillian Smith
Pisces
Sacrificing fun for security will pay off abundantly for
Pisces in 2017! Its a big year for career and friendships that are work or
career based! Mid-March and into April will see finances move forward! You will
however have to watch your general emotionality as sensitivity will be high.
Energy levels are also high and health overall seems to be stable. A great year
for discovering some important things about yourself!
Meditation: Try making a self portrait...you can write,
paint, draw, sculpt or whatever takes your fancy.....consider what it says to
you...How is your portrait different from the image you project
to others? What is a step you are willing to take to improve your vision
of yourself? How will you use what you have learned today…..do
it again in 6 months and see how much you have changed...
Inspiration: " No matter where you go, there you are."
Confucius
