    Astrology for 2017 - Lynn Hayes

    Dear friends,



    I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.

    Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. Make new Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.

    Make your mistakes, next year and forever.

    I love this quote from Neil Gaiman, especially for the astrological influences coming up in 2017. There has been a great deal of astrological stress over the past eight or nine years, and we are now at the conclusion of this major cycle of destruction and transformation. (Of course that does not take into consideration any dramatic planetary cycles that you yourself might be going through at this time).


    After a period of intensity it's tempting to want to hide away in a safe spot and not come out, but what is called for now is to try new things. In order to try new things and be successful, we have to make mistakes. So don't even think about it: step out and do those things that you have been afraid of.


    To get ready for 2017, you may want to read this overview of the astrological influences coming up this year.




    And if you are thinking about making changes in your life and need a blueprint to do so, consider obtaining a copy of my Visioncrafting book for help along the way.



    AND NOW... JANUARY 2017 ILLUMINATIONS

    THIS MONTH I AM ADDING THE PLANETARY CALENDAR AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS EMAIL FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT ALL OF THE DETAILS.

    MAJOR INFLUENCES

    January begins with Mercury travelling in retrograde motion. Until Mercury turns direct again on January 8th it is wise to initiate as few new projects as possible. Instead, this is an excellent time for reflection and review - a time to slow down and use your practical instincts rather than your genius.

    The challenging square between Saturn and Chiron that began at the end of December which tends to trigger emotional upsets and create pressure for personal evolution is beginning to wane, although it will remain in effect through most of January. Under this influence there is potential for a great deal of release as we find ourselves working through past hurts and emotional traumas in order to free ourselves from any remaining energy that they have left in our hearts.

    This month's planetary activity mostly involves the faster moving planets which have a more fleeting influence, making this a good time to start fresh and empower your vision!

    JANUARY DETAILS

    (See complete list of planetary events at the bottom of this email.) The first few days of the month bring a dreamy and mystical quality to enhance creativity and imagination as well as open the doorways of intuition and higher perception. Our awareness is heightened by greater sensitivity to the world around us and we are more sensitive to others and more easily able to express our feelings.

    Venus (relating and aesthetics) enters Pisces on the 3rd, so for a few weeks we may have more difficulty than usual setting boundaries in our relationships, but this creative sensitivity will help us to see more clearly through our inner eyes.

    On January 4th Mercury (mind and communication), which has been retrograding back through practical Capricorn, will re-enter Sagittarius and remain there until the 12th. In the open-minded sign of Sagittarius Mercury can be expansive as we seek greater wisdom and higher ideals, but it can also be blunt and insensitive, especially because it is in retrograde motion where it is not at its most effective. Watch for careless speech during this period.

    January 7th offers a brief opportunity to experience our lives at a deeper level than usual. This could manifest as a situation that arises to permanently transform something in your life that has not been working for you.

    Mercury turns direct on January 8th but it will take a week or so for its motion to return to something more normal. This is called the "shadow' period and during this time we may still feel somewhat stuck. Just be patient - things will soon be back to normal.

    On the 10th we have a brief transit that requires an inner adjustment. Something in our lives has changed but we haven't yet adapted, and that will become easier under this short (one day) cycle.

    Over the next few days (the 10th-13th or so) a harmonious Mars cycle helps to energise us and shake off inertia. We are inspired now for transformation and are likely to feel more alive and aware. On the 11th this excitement could become over-inflated and combine with an aspect that facilitates healing and balance so we may want to take some time for reflection on that day.

    This leads up nicely to the Cancer Full Moon on January 12th. Full Moons always include some tension since the Sun in Capricorn with its focus on practicality and the ends justifying the means , is exactly opposite the Moon in Cancer, inspiring emotional sensitivity and connection to tribe, pulling us in both directions and requiring us to find a way to integrate the opposite signs.

    Creating even greater tension is an exact Grand Cross with Jupiter and Uranus as well as the Sun and Moon. Grand Crosses carry a tremendous amount of power in the tension that they bring to bear. They aren't always comfortable, but this will be a powerful Full Moon that is full of magic. Any hidden restlessness or longing for freedom will erupt under this Full Moon which demands that we find balance between our need for connection (Cancer) and our need to create something in the world (Capricorn).

    The effect of a Full Moon lasts for about three days, and then we have a couple of stressful Mars aspects from the 16th-20th that could bring up an old wound which we have been trying to ignore and put the brakes on our plans. These few days may be a bit frustrating and it will be important not to become discouraged. Wait for clarity to come - it will!

    The Sun enters Aquarius on the 19th. The 20th brings a lovely aspect for relationships which deepens our feelings for our loved ones and helps us to strengthen our relationships. On the 23rd our creativity and imagination is awakened and we will find it easier to connect deeply within in meditation. This aspect lasts only for a day or two so take advantage of it!

    The New Moon in Aquarius occurs on January 27th. Aquarius is the sign of social justice and rational thinking - it inspires us towards independence and innovation. The airiness of the New Moon combines with the fact that four planets are in Pisces which is a very watery sign - this helps us to integrate the intellectual brilliance of the Aquarian influence with the sensitivity and imagination of Pisces.

    Creativity abounds under this New Moon, but a challenging Venus aspect suggests that this is not such a great time for our relationships. Under this New Moon it will be best to focus on our individual inspiration and endeavours and put our interactions with others on a back burner for the rest of the month.

    Mars (aggression, assertiveness) enters its own sign of Aries on the 28th and will remain there until March 9th. Mars is at its very best in Aries where it can fully express the power of its energising force openly and free from conflicting tension.

    That will be helpful during the last few days of the month when Mercury (transmission of information) interacts with both Pluto and Uranus, linking those two behemoths of power once again and creating potential communication conflicts. This is a good aspect for writers, since the power of words is at its peak right now. But it could be difficult for any difficult conversations and it might be best to put those off until early February.

    You are what you are, no more, no less. The fact is, that all is not what it seems to be, some may be great, some may be small, but to your own want to be free, I say, you never were not free. It is what your own Self, gave yourself to be in, that's what makes you what you are. Loving kindness be upon you and yours.
