Grandtrines

Ah! What an interesting winter so far. Just after Uranus went direct the weather patterns changed. I think winter is here to stay and not just teaseing us as it has for the past few months. My local independent and ameture weather guy says we could see from 2- 4 winter weather events before January is over. Fine by me. I have new snow boots and good tires on the car. I can get to work as long as the roads are passable. I love to see snow!

This week Mercury is retrograde in Capricorn. This placement is quite practical and focused. Just what we need to get back to business after a month or more of celebrations and festivities. This energy helps to bring our concentration back in line so we can deal with what is ahead of us for the month and the year.

This is not at…

The Aquarius Moon walking arm in arm with Saturn and Venus in Sagittarius today is wonderful for broadening our horizons and making friends in unusual places. The emotional atmosphere is far calmer today, allowing us to see alternative solutions. This energy peaks this evening when the Moon is sextile Uranus. Pleasant change!

Today and tomorrow are very good for finding new and innovative ways to resolve old issues. Uranus energy in the form of a comfortable Aquarius Moon and the waxing Venus-Uranus in fire help us find our way to a new perspective. We’re unlikely to go too far out in left field because the sky is still weighted towards earth and water but this subtle shift is very welcome. Test your wings!

YOUR HOROSCOPE BY BLES CARMONA
(blessingsandlight725@gmail.com)
For the week of January 11-17, 2016
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19) Your life may feel out of balance at this time. Stress- and work-related health concerns may bother you if you don’t heed the call to detoxify your life from harsh people, chemicals, and overall negativity. And there’s no shame in accepting help from others. Weekly mantra: I can do better and I will.
TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20) Humility is so second-nature to you, but oftentimes you forget to assert your independence and creativity. You know that that there are a lot of things that you do so well, so why don’t you let your light shine instead of hiding it under a bushel? Weekly mantra: I am a Lightworker.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) This week, you give generously of your money, time, and effort. New career opportunities abound if you just keep your…
