Every single planet is direct in motion. This is great it means we can look forward and get things started without delays.
The only problem is all the fast everyday planets, Mercury, Venus, the Sun and Mars are ruled by Saturn, Saturn is feeling uncomfortable in the sign of Pisces.
Saturn is all about discipline with the ability to focus, he is the archetype of the stern director within a company and those who are responsible. Saturn is how we manifest ideas, have boundaries and focus on building structures. He is responsible and very much law abiding. Saturn is about tangible material structure.
Now we take this very structured responsible Planet now placed in Pisces, Pisces does not have boundaries: it is adaptable and changeable, emotional and concerned more about universal healing and idealism, dreams and faith and an amazing ability to let go of the physical and material things in life.
Saturn is really uncomfortable in Pisces and finds it difficult to determine when to be responsible, how to focus, figure out who is responsible for what and constantly searching for some sort of structure to hold onto. Here we have a disciplined structured planet having operating in a spiritual flexible manner.
With all our daily active planets in Aquarius, though ruled by Saturn, they will need to understand their role in all individual groups, understand how to bring perfection to society. As Aquarius is a fixed air sign it is focused on what can bring freedom to self through understanding the energy of the group.
So the energy for understanding a sense of self freedom and intellectual respect comes through working within the group identity.
The challenge here is most of our daily required planets in Aquarius are ruled by Saturn who is very shaky to say the least. The boundaries are not clear, laws and rules porous, the left hand is not certain what the right hand is doing. Focus is difficult.
This is why we are finding it difficult to get our year started. What the solution is, is to become flexible within a structure, try not place time constrains on projects and goals this month as you will find it difficult to achieve the cut off time.
It is a good time to allow your creative juices to flow, trust your intuition and don’t fight with self imposed rigidity. Understand many people will bend the rules to find way to get ahead, if it works and does not create a negative outcome, then so be it.
As I have mentioned in the past the Moon is popping in and out of the ecliptic, when she does this we can feel overemotional and our need are out of proportion to reality.
From the 4th of Feb to the 7th we may feel a need to escape and take a bit of an emotional down time, escape and if you are feeling sad, own it. Most people may feel a need for more nurturing than usual so be aware of other people’s feelings.
From the 17th to the 21st we could have an excessive emotional need, in the positive if we need something we can go all out and get it, especially when it comes to networking.
MEDICALLY SPEAKING
Do we really look after our sinus passages as we should; the nose is the most available passage to all germs and allergens.
Very few of us give our noses any health support and wonder why we are always full of allergies and easily catch bugs from all surfaces and other people.
When your nasal passages are irritated they become inflamed and warm, this is an ideal breading condition for infections that move up into the sinuses and down into the lungs.
There is a simple way to prevent this, paraplegics are fully aware of the dangers of lung infections as coughing is not easy and an infection can be detrimental to them. To avoid this they literally irrigate twice a day and it works!
Here are some guidelines from a medical journal
First line of defense is Nasal irrigation and using a homemade solution can relieve and prevent infections, you need to use it a least once a day.
Here is an option for a solution:
Add half a teaspoon of salt and bicarbonate soda into 2 cups of warm water that has been boiled. I use whatever is left over in my kettle.
You can use a bulb syringe, neti pot or just a normal syringe and squirt the solution into each nostril over a sink. It is recommended that you fill the bulb for this treatment and share it equally into each nostril.
If it burns, lessen the salt ratio.
