PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY January 23 2017 to January 29 2017 Monday January 23 Clear as Muddle More Sally Fisher Art here. Mercury and Neptune link up with each other today. At its most difficult, Mercury-Neptune can lead to muddled thinking - so it's a good thing then, that the kind of angle they make with each other is actually rather encouraging. Instead of allowing confusion to cloud our judgment, the planets are inviting us to see an illusion for what it truly is. And to remember that not all dreams need stay that way. Much is hidden in the furthest corners of our imaginations. Look there for inspiration today. Tuesday January 24 Home to Rooster More Sally Fisher Art here. Hi Oscar, I know Mars will be moving into Aries soon. As a Libran, should I be worried the planet of anger is in my opposite sign? Susie Hi Susie, Mars is about more than anger. It represents passion, drive and courage. And just because it's moving opposite your sign doesn't mean you're on the raw end of this energy. It coincides with the Chinese New Year of the Rooster. You may, in fact, find that you begin to feel passionately positive about someone! Now that's something to crow about! Oscar Wednesday January 25 Burns Night More Sally Fisher Art here. 'We two have paddled in the stream, from morning sun till dine; But seas between us broad have roared, since days of long ago,' wrote the poet Robert Burns. And, being Burns' Night, it seems fitting to turn to his words as Venus conjuncts Chiron, on its way to Friday's link with Saturn. It reminds us to focus on the timelessness of our relationships... and not let temporary high waters erode those stable foundations. Venus will help us to prove capable of overcoming any test. Thursday January 26 Dream On More Sally Fisher Art here. The Chinese New Year of the Rooster, this weekend, signals a new beginning, for all the children of the zodiac. And during this great celebration, the red planet is returning to its dominium. Mars arrives in Aries, where it becomes stronger: more natural in its application, and less convoluted in its effects. This signals a time of action, a call to psychological arms. Yet before then, with Mars in the final degrees of Pisces, it dares us to dream. Soon enough, it'll be time to turn imagination into initiative. Friday January 27 Dark Moon Rising More Sally Fisher Art here. This weekend, not only does Mars enter its native Aries, but 2017's first New Moon, in Aquarius, signals the start of the Year of the Rooster in the Chinese zodiac. And just as the Moon turns dark, Mercury leaves the shadow of retrogradation and forms a conjunction to transformational Pluto, at the heart of the great Jupiter-Uranus opposition in the sky. This all combines to herald new and exciting potential in all our lives. But only if we're willing to think, and feel, in new and exciting ways... Saturday January 28 Happy Chinese New Year More Sally Fisher Art here. Cock-a-doodle-do! Happy Chinese New Year! The New Moon heralds the Year of the Rooster. But that's not the only reason that this is an auspicious time. Mercury leaves the shadow by synergising with Pluto at the hub of the 2017 T-square. It brings the chance to challenge previous ways of thinking, and grow more powerful with the knowledge unearthed. And, with Venus moving on from its dalliance with Saturn to join Mars newly in Aries, this really is a time worth crowing about!
