1. Week and Month of January 2013 Astrology
Astrology Today: Oracle for Sunday, Dec. 30, 2012
Posted on December 30, 2012 by Eric Francis
You seem determined to break free of emotional patterns that have served their use.
This in turn is leading to a revolution in how you experience yourself, and how you perceive
yourself. Granted, it’s a subtle revolution, but there’s no doubt that your perception of yourself
is thawing, and as the ice melts, what is emerging is a deeper level of emotional confidence.
This may initially be the confidence to stand on your own, and to honor feelings and desires that
you’re pretty sure aren’t espoused by most other people. Yet you feel what you feel, and
you’re beginning to understand what matters to you. There is little point in trying to convert
anyone to your cause.
Be available and you will notice that the people who understand are available to you.
Yesterday Tomorrow
Sunday, December 30
We want to demonstrate our love today because the moon enters heartfelt Leo at 2:45 am EST, but positive
intentions only take us so far. Fortunately, exploring hidden feelings reveals buried treasure as the radiant Sun
aligns with transformational Pluto and realistic Saturn. If we avoid our fears, we’ll shadowbox with an unknown
enemy. But shining the light of awareness into the dark can prevent us from being swept up in the current
turmoil.
January 2013 Astrology Forecast
Some philosophies suggest that as we enter this new year and a new Mayan Calendar, that we
have shifted into a new world. Numerous ancient cultures say that there have been four worlds
that shifted through fire and floods. Whatever your philosophy, it is difficult to deny that the
world is changing rapidly and dramatically. It is time to embrace change, even though you
are probably feeling like you are caught between worlds. Each of us needs to step out of
1/5

2. our comfort zone because new energies are taking hold.
I am sure it will not be a surprise to hear me write that emotions are going to be
highlighted in 2013. There is a growing emphasis on the water element signs of Scorpio,
Pisces right now, and Cancer will be very strong come summer. So now is a good time to
do emotional healing and to honor your feminine side. Perhaps that is the message of
the new world, often called the fifth world- to manifest a better balance between the
masculine and feminine. January is not overly eventful from an astrological point of view, so
use this month’s energies to establish healthy routines on all levels. At the end of the month,
expansive Jupiter ends its retrograde cycle, so it will be easier to push ahead at the year
picks up speed. It is important not to get sucked into all of the fear that is amplified in the
media when bad things happen. Call upon your higher self when world events occur; it is the
only way to go beyond the drama.

Astrology Forecast for January 2013
“Wheels in the Sky Keep on Turning”
Now that we’ve all made it through the end of the world, we can turn our eyes more to
the immediate situation of creating a new one! Looking at the situation from the “outside,”
we could say that nothing has really changed. However, it bears repeating that collectively we
are moving toward a rebalancing of the masculine/feminine or “outer/inner” polarity. The
measuring stick of success for the last 6500 years of male-dominated patriarchal conditioning
has been “outer,” or “material.” The more property, money, business, or muscle (in some
societies) you managed to acquire, the more successful your life could be deemed. For many
millions/billions of people existing within the consensus reality this is, and will continue to be, the
case.
For individuals expanding their conscious awareness beyond 3rd dimensional reality into
non-physical realms of existence this has not been, and will never be, the case. As we
forge ahead into the frontiers of heightened awareness, creativity, and balance, we come into a
greater appreciation and understanding of the more subtle, inner, feelings that do a dance with
our outer physical reality and contribute equally, if not more, to a sense of purpose, fulfillment,
and joy in life. The potential for a greater recognition and integration of these two
polarities also recognized as heart/mind or soul/ego has been, and will continue to be, at
the forefront of human evolution through the years ahead.
2/5

3. December 21, 2012 did not bring massive, visible, external (masculine) changes. However, the
potential for a radical rebirth of a new, internal, identity as “more than human,” or better,
a new definition of what it means to be human was, and remains, possible. From this
perspective, we can view the year of 2013, and specifically the month of January, as a time of
inwardly maturing and expanding our capacity to love, nurture, and have compassion for
ourselves and all life. We have seen the futility in waiting/hoping for some outside force to
change our lives and are now freed to take up the task more fully ourselves. The change
begins inwardly and works its way out to visible acts of kindness, improving the quality of life on
planet earth.
There are some long-term astrological aspects that have been in effect through
November and December that will continue through January and some beyond that.
Uranus will remain in square to Pluto for another 2 years, and the Yod involving Jupiter,
Saturn, and Pluto will remain in effect through March 2013. These aspects coupled with the
Sun moving through Capricorn into Aquarius (with Mercury nearby); to join Mars (there for the
entire month), serve as the foundation for this monthly forecast. The square that will occur from
Mars to the Moon’s Nodes and the Sun/Mercury to Saturn during the latter 1/3 of the month
must also be taken into consideration (actually the list goes on and on!).
What we will be finding more and more as time marches on, is that the needs of the many
outweigh the needs of the few or the one; that one often being ourselves! We all
individually grow from self-centered infants totally engrossed in our own needs, to caregiving
parents and contributing members of society as we age. This can be done more or less
gracefully, successfully, and willingly, depending upon our ego/soul nature. Some may resist
this process tooth and nail, so to speak, and remain emotionally stuck in childish behavior
patterns just seeking to selfishly survive. However, just as the tree grows, provides shade,
fruit, and possibly itself as lumber, all nature shows us that maturity has to do with
giving.
Particularly now as Pluto in Capricorn and Saturn in Scorpio stand as guardians of the threshold
between naïve innocence and mature wisdom (that Jupiter wants to step through in the Yod
configuration) do we need to grasp and integrate these growth processes. We have the
opportunity, as individuals and as a collective, to come to a greater understanding, appreciation,
and capacity to enjoy the power, beauty, and emotional fulfillment gained through contribution
. Some may grudgingly call it duty, others may resent it as too much responsibility or
commitment and seek to escape it, but we may also see it as an opportunity to step into the full
magnificent potential of our creative Self. It’s time now to see how and why and which
point of view we consciously choose.
Through the month of January, as the Sun marches through Capricorn, the sign of the wise,
objective elder to join with Mercury and Mars in Aquarius, the sign of community, global society,
and future planning these issues will arise. What is best for the good of the family, the
group, the tribe, the community, the country? Do I pursue my own security, future
comfort, and short term gratification over the environment, the children, and future
generations? In my personal relationships is it all about my satisfaction, or should I give
in, surrender, sacrifice, and meet the needs of my partner? The answers that we give to
3/5

4. these and similar questions will determine the future well-being or deprivation of ourselves, our
loved ones, and the world at large.
So the forecast is that this is a good month for community projects, for committing to
large enterprises, for taking that promotion or additional responsibility even though it
may not be comfortable or easy. This is not the time to relax on easy street, even though you
may be able to. Some may encounter what they perceive as “karma” when life doesn’t seem
to be giving them any kind of a free ride in any way, shape or form. There can be some tough
lessons that come through cruel circumstances, but in the end serve to shape our character and
reveal our shortcomings to ourselves in ever new and creative ways (if you know what I mean!).
Life is forever showing us ourselves, what we are afraid of, how we limit our reality with those
fears, and the work we need to do on ourselves to change it. This is an excellent month for
making big personal changes brought about through deep inner reflection,
self-determination/discipline and the sheer guts to go through with them. The feeling of
having made a great change by yourself is far better than resenting everything and everyone
who seems to be constantly nagging at you to make them; that’s for sure!
While it may not be an easy month, it can be a good time to accomplish a great deal, to grow a
great deal, and to step out of limited self-perceptions (boxes) to become a bigger and better
person. It will be through cooperating and joining together with others in ever grander and
bigger ways that will ultimately serve the needs of your inner soul. Using all earthly activity as
simply a means to combine your time, energy, and love with this individual or group will produce
the highest future return. Expanding our heart’s ability to love, to take on and take in more
and more hearts and lives into the equation of our life, is what is being asked of us as
humans on this planet, at this time, in the evolution of consciousness.
As we each break out of our limited self-interest and focus more time and energy toward
philanthropic pursuits, the quality of life on our planet will continue to improve. As we
generously give of ourselves and continue to give more and more, we will come to see that we
are capable of giving more than we thought! That we are bigger than we thought, that we have
more, and simply are more than we thought, than we were told, or had experienced in the past.
Suddenly, the future is wide open with more possibility and potential because we can now take
on and do more than we could have before. We have changed. May you step up, step out,
take up, and get out, do more, feeling more and giving more, than ever before. I hope
you blow your own mind this month with the outrageous experience of breaking out of
the 3D laws of limited energy/resources to imaginative heights of creative infinite
abundance just because you decided that is who you are and how you want to live. The
revolution starts within and spreads out.
Big days of Change are: 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 16-19, 25, 26 and 30
