Astrology Details Week of January 4, 2009

This week the peak of intensity astrologically will be over Thursday and Friday, January 7 and 8, 2009; life may get a little dangerous.  But with added risk comes added reward if actions are executed skillfully and with a good amount of detachment.  Strike the iron when it's hot, they say; this week may be an important start to a new year and decade.

Mon, Jan 4
Relationships and the experience of life overall today will be favored: prosperity, enlightenment, and happiness.  (Venus semisquare Jupiter, biquintile Mars, Sun conjunct Mercury)

Tues, Jan 5
Benefic planets linkup, cordiality, discussions, and overall good fortune are a distinct possibility; be careful of overexcitement skewing judgment or such things as the allocation of precious funds, etc.  (Mercury conjunct Venus, semisquare Jupiter)

Wed, Jan 6
Moments of urgency and alarm may punctuate the day.  Communication and information processes may be disrupted; but intuitive leaps may be advantageously employed.  (Mercury biquintile Mars, quintile Uranus)

Thurs, Jan 7
Impulsivity may be high, tempers going off, and egos becoming very easily offended.  Emotion and zeal may trump reason today, and sometimes you need a little spiritual passion to break through the chains of intellectual stagnation.  Be careful of accidents, injuries, sharp metal objects, fires, conflicts, and even problems with electrical machinery and computers.  (Sun quincunx Mars)
