Happy New Year 2017

Happy New Year 2017. As we say goodbye to the tumultuous year of 2016 we can happily look forward to the new beginnings of 2017. 2016 was a 9 year of endings and major changes upsetting many of us who really don't like change. However, we are looking toward 2017 which is a 1 year of beginnings and fresh starts. Many of us will have to think outside of the box - kind of like an Aquarius to make it all work but work it will. We have started to feel the pull of "lets get this going" feeling and that's the energy of 2017. Putting in the work and keeping an open mind will be the order of the year. We will feel more prosperous and energetic. Mercury goes direct and out of it's shadow January 20, so maybe our communication styles won't be so misunderstood. Venus will go retrograde in March, things we thought we really wanted we will reevaluate as maybe not being for us (no face lifts please!) and will go direct April 16, whew! In the mix are a couple of eclipse's of the moon, solar and lunar and will affect us emotionally so need to keep our perspective. When Saturn goes retrograde in April and Jupiter being retrograde the spring will really slow down. Jupiter goes direct in June with Saturn direct in August a few stops and starts but overall a good summer. With Neptune, Saturn, Uranus and Mercury being retrograde near September we may be dealing with a lot of storms and flooding, be prepared. Uranus is unexpected energy so being retrograde may tone down the thunderstorms a bit. Fall will be beautiful. Mercury won't be retrograde at Christmas next year, but will be retrograde earlier in December keeping that in mind with buying gifts. This year will be a much better year, although there will be the usual ups and downs, however not as dramatic. Keep your perspective, be kind and open-minded and breathe!! Namaste!
