Has your New year 2016 started out busy?

By Valerie Greene

 

Yes? Well, you can blame it on the Stars!

 

You see the planet Mercury rules our current thoughts and the decisions that we make that are attached to them.

 

 And on Jan 1, 2016 Mercury chanced signs! That happening all by its self would trend to bring a different trend with our thinking.

 

 However, this Mercury change being now in freedom loving sign Aquarius, we would want to be more freedom minded! With a sudden desire to change things, to break our daily routine!

 

All because the action planet Mars, also now in a new sign, is in a difficult square aspect to Mercury too!  Giving that greater need to stir things up! Hence your more busy, days!

 

But ones that also seem  to bring a greater need to take control... that can  cause arguments, and out of control behavior.

 

 The worst effect of Mars and Mercury in a bad tango aspect as it is now, would be impulsiveness causing accidents! So try to slow down and think before acting. 

 

Not the best planet pattern to begin a New Year!

 

How to cope? Use the desire part you now feel... to push towards getting things that take your skill and energy, done!

 

Closets that need cleaning out...furniture need moving or cleaning? Or how about annoying clutter? These first few days of our new year, is a great time to clean out and work at improving your life in some way. Just do it with careful thought and patience, and you will use that extra energy properly.

 

And guard your temper! Mars now in intense Scorpio, tends to do a slow burn...with a huge outburst!

 

Signs that need to use extra caution right now? Scorpio, Taurus, Aquarius, and Leo.

 

 With all of us feeling a need to be more active...and needing extra patience!

 

As, Mercury... is also slowing down and will turn retrograde Again on Jan 5, at 8:06 a.m. est.
