The week’s astrological delineations are written from outside regular activity to bring attention to Jupiter’s exact square with Neptune on January 13. With grand expansion comes healthy challenge, and the week sees potent infusion therein of idealism/delusion/dream…as evangelist or as silent mystic or somehow both.
This alignment occurs a total of three times times during 2019 (this week, mid-June and late September), to continue story arcs diachronically with greater emphasis during these times and marking a beginning, middle and end of a narrative span.
To be read from the rising sign. To read from the sign of Sun’s natal placement (or from Moon’s if born at night) can offer helpful if sometimes less precise insight. Any of these options are a way to *broadly* orient the reader from the point of view of a dominant zodiacal archetype during a specific span of time. This expresses one way to use astrology: a zoomed out, slightly blurred view stopping at twelve equal marks within a full 360º rotation.
♑︎ CAPRICORN + CAPRICORN RISING: Jan 11 – Jan 17
An ongoing developing interest in weird ideas fuses with ritual and how it merges the seen with the unseen. Is a short term goal a ritual? Or is a short journey to somewhere-slightly-else a ritual? Can a conversation with a brother or sister be a ritual? Whatever is subtly spiritualized through action, it is a place where royal-feeling munificence can come through. In ritual you are intentional and not automatic.
♒︎ AQUARIUS + AQUARIUS RISING: Jan 11 – Jan 17
The expanding universe articulates through your sense of community and your place therein. You give to your groups with a warm hand; be sure to keep open the eye in the centre of that hand. What is money anyway? How to generate material resources when energy is mostly dark matter? You are good at determining when a new equation must be applied.
♓︎ PISCES + PISCES RISING: Jan 11 – Jan 17
Ambition is so broad and so tall that perhaps you are sure to miss the mark. Will you decide, because of such immensity, that you will abbreviate infinite reach? Will you keep inventing new holograms? Give so much, but only in the right places.
♈︎ ARIES + ARIES RISING: Jan 11 – Jan 17
At first you did not know what you were looking at, but it has been a bird’s eye view of everything. Whilst expanding your perspective, you receive ongoing messages from darkness—which is not necessarily negativity, just absence of light. Use this time to cultivate night vision. See in the dark! This can be time of great kindness.
♉︎ TAURUS + TAURUS RISING: Jan 11 – Jan 17
Merge with whatever healing is. Not what healing is for you or for them or for who’s influential, but what healing is as a quality within everything. How does helping something to be more fully what it really is end up being regenerative? Oneness with what is not yours and not even everybody else’s. Oneness with whatever death can mean, and with debt and with large piles. What food tastes like inertia?
♊︎ GEMINI + GEMINI RISING: Jan 11 – Jan 17
Everything in this universe that could collapse or could blossom within and blossom as somebody else: Do you give so much to another because they help you with something? This can be a good thing or not, but the question is being asked, and maybe you will answer just with flourishing watercolor eminence.
♋︎ CANCER + CANCER RISING: Jan 11 – Jan 17
Everything is always changing so much and that is all that stays the same. Presently you turn the same corner over an over again at the same location in spacetime, opening up to a verdant new expanse, and you see how habits and practices are this. Your daily work has taken on a lavishness, and it’s own intelligence right now is piqued. Let this repetition and devotion wake you up and turn your world the technicolor of another dimension.
♌︎ LEO + LEO RISING: Jan 11 – Jan 17
You are the audience *and* you are the performer. You are Lila and so are we. You are the actor, but you are also the director, who needs to know what is going on in the dimmed and silent wings. The divine comedy is already fully funded and also it is loaded with empty space…some in the dusty periphery and some right out on stage. The resources you share with others bring energy to the creative gifts you share in turn. You are a writer.
♍︎ VIRGO + VIRGO RISING: Jan 11 – Jan 17
You are so good at optimizing, and now that skill multiplies 10x with something boundless and unseen…it will help to cultivate serene inner consciousness if you let it. This is expressed outward in how your home expands in new ways and into new spaces. This is a time you are challenged by another at home and in hidden matters, and you must figure out how to align. No matter what or with whom, there is grace in family at this time. No matter when or under what influence, there is grace in care and in being careful; take care in particular with your generosity. Point your discerning eye towards an analysis of where you’re feeling called to lay it all upon the altar.
♎︎ LIBRA + LIBRA RISING: Jan 11 – Jan 17
There are so many more ceremonies to which you can bring beauty. To ride the bus is a ceremony. You and brothers and sisters in relation are living ceremony. Through service or physical healing or through boring tasks you can inspire others and influence reality.
♏︎ SCORPIO + SCORPIO RISING: Jan 11 – Jan 17
Energy is constantly being converted into money or some other helpful material—to enhance what is fun or alluring or romantic. Expansion of materials at your disposal fuels the Aurora Borealis of your creative expression. Another expression of many is that some abstract aqua-tinted subjectivity concerning play or romance effects material or financial expansion in one way or another. What is the nature of the energy prior to material conversion?
♐︎ SAGITTARIUS + SAGITTARIUS RISING: Jan 11 – Jan 17
Lucky expansion of many spheres within your own being are channeled into the swirling magical cauldron that is your hearth. “Where you live” is a location in material reality and also a secret realm where your consciousness can be itself. Consider how your familial origins and wherever you rest are both places where you begin and where you return and where you see from mind’s eye. Build yourself—a house—and within it a shrine in honor of who lived and died before you and for you.
