Not All That is Gold Glitters…..Astrology Forecast January 8th – 15th, 2023

This week, Mars slows to station direct at 8 Gemini after a 10 weeks’ go-slow. Warrior Mars first entered Gemini on August 21st 2022 to stay for an unprecedented 7 months until March 26th 2023:

Mars turned Retrograde at 25° Gemini on October 30 2022.

Mars turns Direct at 8° Gemini on January 12 2023.

Mars exits Gemini for Cancer on March 25 2023.

Pay attention in the days around the 12th as a Mars Max station frequently brings heightened aggression and conflict, from arguments to armed warfare, explosions, gun crimes, fires and crashes. This is the lowest manifestation of Mars as ego based Strong Will. Instead, aim to develop Skilful Will combined with Good Will.

Although Mars is moving forward from January 12th, the post-shadow period won’t end until March 15, 2023 just before the red planet enters Cancer. The welcome news is that from then onwards, Mars will be direct for the rest of 2023 and most of 2024.

 Keep in mind that Mercury remains retrograde in Capricorn until January 18th and Uranus is retrograde in Taurus until January 22nd-the date 2023 really gets going with a Super New Moon at 1 Aquarius, the degree of Pluto’s March 24th ingress.

Desire isn’t bad but the object of our desires is rarely the thing we are after-which is to know that we are okay. Instead of focusing on healing the hole inside us, we search for the buzz of shiny things outside ourselves

As Above, So Below. When Mars stations, mirror the astrology by slowing right down so that you come into right relationship with your desires, start to discern what the true motivation is behind them and if, in fact, you really want what you think you want.

Aries Weekly Forecast: January 8-15, 2023

Your sign is ruled by Mars so this week’s forecast is especially important to you. Although Mars is stationing direct on Thursday January 12th after 10 weeks of go-slow, take your time. Don’t jump straight into launching new projects or trying to push for instant progress, as it will backfire. This week, do the counter-intuitive thing and slow right down to get your ducks in a row. Lay the groundwork, think deeply about what you really want. If you got it, what would it give you in terms of meaning and value? Luckily, Jupiter in your sign is nudging you to consider the big picture, including likely shifts in your career or direction.

Be patient until Mercury has moved forward on January 18th.
