Let’s face it, shift happens! I’m sure January’s energy still has some of us still shook up and all discombobulated. As we’re all wiggling away from some of the residue left behind from 2013 into some parts of February, but there’s a lot to be thankful for. Before I babble on and on about what that actually means..., let me take time to help some of you understand why these shifts are necessary instead. The first thing to connect in understanding is that January is ruled by the planet Saturn. Saturn is also represented by the 10th house in the Zodiac and is represented by the sign of Capricorn. Saturn represents how we use facets of time by way of personal involvement. It reflects our sense of dedication and commitment and It’s ruling force tends to bring our inner thoughts and energy to “a point” of fruition...Good or Bad. Saturn attributes can also be connected to the structure of things, the foundation, our responsibilities, boundaries and words associated with limitation in a small sense. During this year of 2014 (2+0+1+4 =7), we are in the 7th house cycle, which brings Venus into play. Venus represents the 7th house in the Zodiac and the astrological sign Libra. Seven is also known as the number of analyzation or connecting the dots. In numerology and among various religious systems, 7 is considered a number of sacredness. How does this all pertain to you? “Well,” as “The Great Malefic or Father of Time” (Saturn) coupled with the planet of harmony and grace may not have been seeing eye-to-eye in your daily life during the January month. Why? Well, as Saturn has a tendency to rock our foundation and test our commitments,Venus has a knack for balancing out the things we consider as value. However, since Venus was in retrograde, much of our affairs governing relations or partnerships in love, business and social affairs were going in the opposite direction. continued on page 16
