The Aquarian surge of energy is boosted today as the Sun enters the sign of the Water Bearer at 12:40 pm PST.

The symbol can lead you astray. Aquarius is an air sign: the symbol of a person bringing you water reflects the desire to help all humanity and one of the traits of folks born with this Sun sign is their support of humanitarian and charitable groups and endeavors.

Green lights are up as the Moon sextiles clever Mercury at 9:53 am. This is a good time to make an important call.

Clear skies follow for the rest of the day and night but there is a sticky Moon Pluto square at 12:29 am tomorrow morning. Hit the rack early and you’ll miss it.

As times change.

Green lights. Astrological skies are calm on Martin Luther King Jr. day.

The Moon in impatient Aries sextiles dependable Saturn at 6:19 am PST, and optimistic Jupiter at 12:45 pm Monday afternoon.

Clear skies follow for the rest of the day and night. An Aries Moon suggests adding something new to your agenda tonight.

Caution lights are up on Sunday. Overconfident Jupiter squares eccentric Uranus at 2:49 pm PST Sunday afternoon which will lead some folks to take a gamble that doesn’t pay off. Uranus rules cars, computers, and high-tech machines-this is not a good day to purchase them as the hype may not match the facts. Remember, Jupiter is the B.S. champion. Luckily, the rest of Sunday’s Skywatch is upbeat. The Moon sextiles Pluto at 12:55 pm, and also sextiles the Sun at 7:44 pm . But Luna then turns Void of Course until she enters Aries at 11:07 pm. Keep it safe and simple Sunday night-a touch of madness is in the air. As times change.

If your birthday is this week (January 17–23). You’ve got a supercharged Solar Return, late Capricorn, and early Aquarius birth signs. The powerful Mars Uranus conjunction in the sky now becomes part of the chart of your new year. Both planets square Jupiter which amps up the power in your life this year to make positive changes and to leave negative people and situations behind you. My best advice is to be the agent of changes in your life; don’t wait for changes to find you. Uranus rules the truth and there is your path and safety in the days ahead. Finances are in the foreground with Mars and Uranus in money sign Taurus. Unexpected expenses are likely and you’ll be wise to stick to a tight budget. Stay on the safe side of everything this year and you’ll avoid a lot of problems, Capricorn and Aquarius. As times change.

Big-time trouble is brewing this weekend. Overindulgent Jupiter squares unpredictable and rebellious Uranus Sunday afternoon. Too much of something is likely to be a problem and it could include the law, ruled by Jupiter.

Saturday’s Skywatch is the best of the weekend for handling important chores and business. The Moon sextiles agreeable Venus at 9:02 am PST and then sails out into calm skies for the rest of the day and night.

Still, play it safe Saturday night-accidents and problems with cars and fools are likely.

As times change.

Don’t rush in.

The Moon is still Void of Course from yesterday until she enters creative Pisces at 2:17 pm PST. Green lights come on at this moment as the Skywatch clears.

A high energy Moon Mars sextile at 10:29 pm could make it hard to get ready for bedtime Friday night.

Unfocused and yet powerful. The Moon turns Void of Course at 1:28 am PST early this morning and remains in this unfocused state until Friday afternoon!

The main event is a conjunction, a meeting in the heavens, of the Sun and powerful Pluto at 6:10 am. Pluto rules death and rebirth. So this is a good day to let bad habits and dishonest relationships die and to put new plans into motion that are healing and positive.

Pluto is the champ of solving problems and researching new ideas. He will also prompt some folks to overstate their worth and be blowhards. Pluto rules solutions and problems; everyone gets to pick their contribution to today’s events—the stars impel, they don’t compel.
