Mars went retrograde on January 23. Since Mars "rules" men and mechanical things, how has it gone with you so far? It has been interesting here at my house. A kitchen faucet needed to be replaced. The plumber came to do what should have been a quick, easy job. After the new faucet was installed, hot water would not come out. The plumber double-checked everything and finally discovered that one of the hoses in the new faucet assembly had a hole in it and there was an additional block so hot water did not come out. He was good enough to return the faucet to get a replacement and all went smoothly after that. But... he spend double the time he should have and became very frustrated, although was gracious through the entire ordeal. This is typical: a mechanical assembly malfunctioned.

Powerful X2-class Solar Flare Today, Jan. 27th,
This is the third huge solar flare to radiate earth in a few days. How are you? If you are lethargic, grouchy or sleepy, it could be that the solar radiation is bombarding you so much your body has to slow down to assimilate and distribute the energy. Be patient with yourself. Your pets could be either lethargic or restless, too. My pet cat, Zena, has slept for three days instead of romping like she usually does. The story and links from NASA follow.
X-FLARE: Earth-orbiting satellites detected a powerful X2-class solar flare today, Jan. 27th, at 1837 UT (1:37 pm EST). The source was departing sunspot 1402. The blast produced a spectacular CME (not Earth directed) and accelerated energetic protons toward Earth. A low-level radiation storm is now in progress around our planet. Visit http://spaceweather.com for images and updates.
Jan 23, 2012
Hold on to your computer, wireless instruments, GPS and telephones.
Yesterday, January 22, there was a huge solar flare. For details and beautiful photos, click here: http://www.spacewater.com. The radiation storm is still in progress and could cause isolated reboots of computers onboard Earth-orbiting satellites and interfere with polar radio communications.
From www.foxnews.com An immense blast of plasma spewed late Sunday night from the Sun led to the strongest radiation storm bombarding our planet since 2005, and a rare warning from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency -- and even a plan to redirect certain high-flying airplanes. NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center -- the nation’s official source of warnings about space weather and its impact on Earth -- issued a watch for a geomagnetic storm expected to hit our planet Tuesday morning after a satellite witnessed an ultraviolet flash from the massive solar eruption, according to Spaceweather.com.

Today, January 23 at 1954 Eastern Time Mars goes retrograde while being bombarded by the CME.
WOW!
Astrologically, what does this all mean? The new Moon in Aquarius was this morning at 09:39 Eastern Time. This means the solar bombardment is electrically charging the already electric sign of Aquarius. Your Aquarian friends may be especially excited and erratic for the next few days, through Wednesday or Thursday. Leo could experience unexpected strong opposition or be totally ignored these few days. Taurus and Scorpio could be involved in financial control issues; try not to settle anything, because after the energy from the flare leaves, things will settle down. Gemini and Libra can most easily handle the energy, but may have unexpected happenings with social activities. Aries and Sagittarius can be charged from the frenetic activity from their friends. Cancer and Virgo have to adjust to the unexpected; try to flow with it. I would say that Capricorn and Pisces are neutral, but this is relative. The energy from the solar flares is a lot, so all life on earth is excited, each in our own way. If your pets are unusually restless or lethargic, blame it on the solar flare.
Let’s watch the earthquake activity to see of there is any extra activity stimulated from the combination of the new Moon and solar flare. Since Mars in involved, too, there could be a surge in fires or volcanic eruptions.
AND... MARS WENT RETROGRADE, TOO, today at 19:54 Eastern Time in the sign of Virgo. As if Virgo does not have enough adjusting to do because of the solar flare, their projects slow down and they may even slow down. Read Mars retrograde here. The solar flare is flying by Mars, too, electrically exciting men, machines, cars, trains, and anything mechanical. The next few days will be interesting indeed. If you are a Virgo, be alert for mechanical breakdowns. Even though a slow Mars means the slow-down of projects, Taurus and Capricorn can benefit from careful planning and patience. Cancer and Scorpio have the opportunity to work on new projects that require patience and a slow build-up through April 13 when Mars goes Direct. Pisces may be irritated because attention to detail is required to fix mechanical things. Gemini and Sagittarius could also be irritated because of the slow-down of activity, with the requirement for detail. Leo and Libra are somewhat neutral. Aries and Aquarius need to adjust to the slowdown and possible breakdown of mechanical things. Remember that Aquarius is already stimulated by the solar flare and may be far too eager to create upheaval. They need a calming friend.
Some astrologese: if you know your chart, look to any planets in the sign of Aquarius to learn how your life will be energized. Look to the house with Aquarius on the cusp to learn the area of your life will be energized. Look to the houses with Aries on the cusp and that area of your life should slow down because of the retrograde Mars. If you really know your chart, you can figure the aspects to Mars at 23 degrees of Virgo to learn even more.

JANUARY 2012 FORECAST
The quarter moons and the full Moon are in the cardinal signs of Libra, Capricorn and Aries this month, meaning those signs, plus Cancer have the most activity and could be continually challenged. However, people of these signs love the challenge.

Jan 1: The New Year begins with a quarter Moon in the signs of Aries and Capricorn, revealing a day with a lot of activity and possible many wanting to be in charge.

There is an opportunity for a quick tweaking of an idea early, then the idea is tweaked again at the end of the day. Gemini, Libra and Aquarius have an easy day. Aries and Leo have the opportunity to join spirited conversation and Sagittarius could be opposed. All this is mild.
Jan 6: The Sun and Moon are off balance, indicating a possibly weird day. The talkative one interrupts the working authority, who responds with grouchiness. However, dealing with younger friends is good when you keep friendliness in the proper place. Very late in the day leading into
Jan 7: If the party or friends push too hard and cause the quiet, detail-oriented person to have to adjust, it can be grouchy again. Mercury is getting along well with Saturn and Neptune.

Jan 8: Mercury goes into Capricorn at 01:33 through January 27. Conversation and communication turns to career, and the structure or plans of a situation. Capricorn is not too communicative, so expect communication to be quiet. This is the time for Capricorn to present your ideas and to be heard. Taurus and Virgo should have pleasant practical ideas and interactions. Cancer may experience opposition to your plans because they are not practical enough. Aries experiences challenging conversations because your ideas may seem too radical and Libra experiences challenging conversations because you may ask for cooperation, which is uncomfortable to the one in charge. Gemini and Leo have weird conversations, or no conversations, with the boss; do not push. Sagittarius and Aquarius are neutral. Scorpio and Pisces have the opportunity to discuss practical projects, especially money. Creativity is not favored unless you have a plan.

Jan 10: The Moon is in Leo and Leo likes to shine and administrate.

Communication today is focused and intense from the powerful or effective person and the subject is planning and career or practical things. The Sun and Moon get along later in the day, helping practical activities go very smoothly.

Pisces especially has nice romantic time. Virgo experiences opposition because the romance interferes with work or interrupts detail. Cancer and Scorpio have good relationships with your loved one and with younger people.

Leo and Libra are supposed to be neutral, but Libra can create the beautiful surroundings for the romance and Leo can add some drama. Interestingly Pisces and Leo are both signs of drama, so if Leo is not irritated with some vagueness, you can bring drama to the situation. Libra and Pisces are supposed to not get along, either, but both their patron planets are Venus, so there is a good connection. There is an opportunity for a romantic adventure that is low-key and inexpensive.

Difficulties with men usually surface now, producing arguments. If you are in a romantic relationship, the sexual part of the relationship could die down because your man is tired from working with all those machines, but this should be temporary. If you have ignored sexual difficulties they will surface now, forcing evaluation or the relationship could end. During the long Mars retrograde time your projects slow almost to a halt and time seems to stand still. Now is the time to evaluate the project’s plans, fix anything and be ready for a push forward when Mars goes direct. If you are an Aries, be careful of accidents because you are in a hurry and time is slow. If you are a Scorpio, be careful of misinterpreting others’ motives, resulting in your wanting to get even, causing unnecessary hard feelings. If you begin a new love relationship, something could be wrong with the man’s reason for being with you, and after Mars goes direct, he could be impotent or uninterested, the excitement having worn off.

Years of the Dragon
Fifth in the cycle, Dragon Years follow the Rabbit and recur every twelfth year. The Chinese New Year does not fall on a specific date, so it is essential to check the calendar to find the exact date on which each Dragon Year actually begins
1904 * 1916 * 1928 * 1940 * 1952 * 1964 * 1976 * 1988 * 2000 The key to the Dragon personality is that Dragons are the free spirits of the Zodiac. Conformation is a Dragon's curse. Rules and regulations are made for other people. Restrictions blow out the creative spark that is ready to flame into life. Dragons must be free and uninhibited. The Dragon is a beautiful creature, colorful and flamboyant. An extroverted bundle of energy, gifted and utterly irrepressible, everything Dragons do is on a grand scale - big ideas, ornate gestures, extreme ambitions. However, this behavior is natural and isn't meant for show. Because they are confident, fearless in the face of challenge, they are almost inevitably successful. Dragons usually make it to the top. However, Dragon people be aware of their natures. Too much enthusiasm can leave them tired and unfulfilled. Even though they are willing to aid when necessary, their pride can often impede them from accepting the same kind of help from others. Dragons' generous personalities give them the ability to attract friends, but they can be rather solitary people at heart. A Dragon's self-sufficiency can mean that he or she has no need for close bonds with other people. Jan 24: Calm day except some disarray around 15:26.
Jan 25: The Moon goes into Pisces after joining with Neptune, so we may have some rain or snow. Attention changes to creativity, calm, quiet and a little escape from the frenzied activity and practical attention to detail, although the day has opportunities to bring a creative project in under budget.

Later int eh day there could be tension between the vision and details. Pisces and Virgo could be irritated with each other, and it could rub off on Sagittarius and Gemini.
Jan 27: Mercury goes into Aquarius through February 13. Thought and conversation switch from practical plans to the goals of the group, group activity, and friends. Leo could experience opposition over control. Scorpio and Taurus have control situations, too, but the other wants control of the team, not the money. Gemini and Libra have an easy time communicating ideas and social events.

Jan 28: The Sun and Moon are getting along well, creating an opportunity for new ideas to be exciting and accepted. Especially favored are Aries and Aquarius.

Jan 29: Weird day when daring, new or courageous ideas are too impulsive and unbalance the strict details of the plan.
Jan 30: The Moon goes into Taurus at 01:28, and the energy changes from being impulsive to being calm and steady.

THE SIGN OF THE DRAGON
(this is an excellent site for Chinese sign compatibilities)
Dragon personality The Dragon is a creature of myth and legend. A symbol of good fortune and sign of intense power, the Oriental Dragon is regarded as a divine beast - the reverse of the malicious monster that Westerners felt necessary to find and slay. In Eastern philosophy, the Dragon is said to be a deliverer of good fortune and a master of authority. Therefore, those people born in Dragon years are to be honored and respected.

Ideas that are very abstract could be resisted by the person who understands now instead of tomorrow and there could be tension, especially between Aquarius and Taurus.
Jan 29: Weird day when daring, new or courageous ideas are too impulsive and unbalance the strict details of the plan.
Jan 30: The Moon goes into Taurus at 01:28, and the energy changes from being impulsive to being calm and steady. The idea that seemed to impulsive or premature yesterday may be presented again in a more realistic way and is accepted. Taurus is favored. There could be a mild challenge to the frugality of the plan, but this is resolved later. The quarter Moon happens23:09 in the signs of Taurus and Aquarius. Most of this energy will be felt tomorrow.
Quarter Moon in the signs of Taurus and Aquarius, and the people of those signs may have a crisis of ideas that could involve Scorpio and Leo. Virgo and Capricorn can bring common sense to the situation, and Gemini and Libra can diplomatically present all sides and accomplish cooperation.
Jan 31: The tension from the quarter Moon subsides as the day progresses, with an opportunity for happy resolution and implementation of the idea or plan. A good day for Taurus, Pisces and Virgo.
