January Vedic Horoscope

[Guest guest]

not longer be tormenting Saturn (and vice versa), the planet of conflict will be

moving in tandem with Jupiter for most of the month. This Mars energy now will

be shunted towards Jupiter's tendency to make things bigger. Anything at risk

of expanding too much -- like speculative bubbles, holiday food-filled

waistlines, and tanks of flammable gases -- may be pushed to exceed its limits.

The ability to act quickly is usually a good thing, but in times when there are

long standing afflictions to Saturn, this can lead to rash and intemperate

actions that jeopardize the daily structures that we all rely on. There is

much talk these days of the Great Parallel between Venus, Jupiter, Neptune, and

Pluto. Certainly, the presence of two benefics can be a useful feature in the

cosmic configuration for all of us. However, one cannot take these things in

isolation. The linkage between all the planets may also provide a bridge

through which

the negative and disruptive energy of Saturn and Rahu can flow more deeply into

various areas of life. Let's just hope that the favourable influence of

Venus and Jupiter manages to shift the overall tone of energy towards positive

and welcome change.ARIES (Apr 13 - May 13) The Ram is on a roll to start

the new year. With Mars in Bharani for most of the month, there will be

payoffs from your ceaseless efforts and indominable will. No need to

compromise now, just stick with your vision and the light will find you soon

enough. With Venus moving retrograde back into Sagittarius at mid-month, there

may be a shift in tone away from the material towards the ideal or spiritual and

higher ideals. And Mars is finally breaking free from Saturn's heavy aspect, so

internal and external opposition will be more easily co-opted now. TAURUS (May

14 - Jun 14) As Venus continues it

retrograde movement through Uttara Ashada for much of this month, this is a good

time to start new ventures. The conjunction with the Sun on the 13th is also

likely to bring some attention and favour to you. This notoriety will probably

entail some kind of change or innovation, so be prepared for possible ruffled

feathers amongst the more conservative. Once Venus moves into Purva Ashada

after the 19th, you may employ patience in your struggles. Look for a

significant action from a hidden source to address the situation around the

23rd. GEMINI (Jun 15 - Jul 15) You may find yourself interacting more than

usual with business contacts and acquaintances this month, especially before

the 19th. While there may not be any immediate upside to this socializing, it

will be a good time to lay the groundwork for future encounters. Some extra

enjoyment is likely around the 17th. After this time, some research

opportunities may present ways to increase income. On the 25th, you may raise

your profile among others and you will spend time in the company of authority

figures with secrets to tell.CANCER (Jul 16 - Aug 15) Career matters

generally go well this month as Mars soaks up Jupiter's good vibes in your 10th

house. Be careful not to be drawn into any unwinnable arguments, however, as

these will impede your progress. Your relationship will be a generous source

of happiness for the first half of the month after which time more pragmatic

concerns will take precedence. Near the 17th, expect some good news from afar

involving a sibling.LEO (Aug 16 - Sep 15) Your communicative abilities are

at their peak this month. As a result, your efforts to advise and persuade will

likely bring about some favourable outcomes. The time around the 13th may put

you in the company of idealistic

women. Towards the end of the month, you may be called upon to perform in a

supporting or service-oriented role that may involve foreigners or outsiders.

Around the 25th, you may need the service of an accountant or some other

organizer of data.VIRGO (Sep 16 - Oct 16) Educational concerns may be

upper most in your mind this month as Mercury and Jupiter, the planets

associated with learning, are transiting your 4th and 2nd houses respectively.

With Venus in the mix in the first half of January, this may point to artistic

or redecorating interests. A lotto ticket may also be a reasonable investment

at this time. As Mercury moves into Capricorn after the 18th, your focus will

shift towards children and athletics. This would be a good time to follow

through on any resolutions for new exercise regimes.LIBRA (Oct 17 - Nov 15)

A great beginning to 2006 as you surround yourself

with creature comforts in the first half of January. With Mars in Bharani in

your seventh house of marriage, some relationship matters may come to the fore

at this time. Time to deploy that famous tact and diplomacy now and ensure

that differences in opinion don't get out of hand. Near the 17th, expect to to

be blessed with the gift of gab that will come in handy in a demanding

situation. After Venus enters Purva Ashada on the 22nd, you will find new

reserves of energy to comfront the obstacles that stand in your way.SCORPIO

(Nov 16 - Dec 14) You are still in a supportive and advocatory mode now with

Mars in your 6th house. It's quite likely that women figure more prominently

now for you than usual, either as friends and business associates or as those

you are helping. Communicating your ideas is more vital than ever now and you

have the ability to do it with flair and skill. The time

around the 23rd looks especially promising for social contacts and speaking

engagements.SAGITTARIUS (Dec 15 - Jan 13) January looks like a very busy

and energetic month. This is a good time to reap all those rewards that are

coming you. With Jupiter now in Vishaka, you are well-positioned for

substantial gains in various areas of life. Just make sure you have the

stamina to deal with the many demands that will be made on your time. Love and

social contacts will increase after the 12th as Venus moves back into

Sagittarius. You will get a breather in the last week of the month, so that

will be a good time to sit back and enjoy the pleasures of life.CAPRICORN (Jan

14 - Feb 12) You may be able to relax a bit more this month as Mars is

gradually moving away from Saturn. There's still ample energy to continue

with career progress as Venus lingers in Capricorn until the

12th. Thoughts of love and relationship matters also won't be far from your

mind now. After that time, some inward searching may be more to your liking as

Venus moves into your 12th house. This would be a good time to perform some

charitable work or take up study of foreign cultures or spiritual techniques.

AQUARIUS (Feb 13 - March 13) Hopefully the holiday season didn't do

irreparable damage to your waistline. With Saturn in Pushya in your 6th house,

there may be a tendency towards overeating and weight gain. In the meantime,

your nurturing and supportive instincts will make sure that everyone you care

about will be provided for. Around mid-month, your emphasis may shift a bit

towards securing gains for yourself however, as you look ahead. Travel and

spiritual pursuits will also play a role this month. Look for a fruitful

exchange around the 17th.PISCES (March 14 - Apr

12) Jupiter moves into Vishaka this month so it ought to be a good time for

laying plans for future gains. One risk here is that you might become obsessed

with the ideal of the plan to the exclusion of the actual people involved. More

resources are likely to come your way in the first half of the month, even from

unexpected or unknown places. Near the 13th, some helpful business contact may

put you in touch with an idea that can help you. As Venus moves into your 10th

house after this time, some significant career progress and recognition is

likely.
