January 2010 Planets
Saturn: The Lord of the Rings
As the new year opens January 2010, there are six planets in cardinal/initiating signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), a signature of creative energy arising, and a new focus for the lingering problems of the previous decade.
Saturn, entering Libra, the sign of its exaltation, marks out its territory this month as it makes an unusual ’station’ at 4*39 Libra for seven days before turning in apparent retrograde motion on January 14th. The Sabian symbol interpretation for 4-5 degrees Libra is: ‘A Foundation of Inner Knowledge upon which a ‘new world’ could be built’. As a harbinger of a ‘new world’ perspective – one of NASA’s telescopes has captured an image of a new blue ring around Saturn (previously unseen). Saturn here will be initiating and balancing alliances.
Mercury at 18 degrees Capricorn and Mars at 18 degrees Leo, are each in retrograde motion, and in exact inconjunct aspect – a time for thought (Mercury) and action (Mars) to become more introspective – and for interacting towards reconciliation and adjustment before moving forward again. Mercury goes direct in motion first, on January 16th, while Mars has an unusually long retrograde period all through January and February, and will go direct in March. While sometimes frustrating, thought will generally proceed action through this influence, setting a better course in the beginning of a new year and a new decade.
