The Zodiac position of this week is approximately 26 degree Capricorn and 3 degree Aquarius. The season is mid-winter, the element is earth/air and the ruler is Saturn and Uranus.

The Capricorn-Aquarius cusp can be likened symbolically to the period around seventy years of age in the human life; it arrives at the time in winter when the days are lengthening but remain cold in the northern hemisphere. Indeed, nights are freezing and refuge must be sought inside. The Capricorn-Aquarius cusp may be said to represent Mystery and Imagination. In human development, at the age of seventy, one must certainly come to terms with one's own mortality. Preparations must be made to make one's remaining years comfortable but also productive and satisfying. Although external activities have usually slowed down considerably, ideally a corresponding increased tempo of the interior life - mental, emotional, and spiritual - can manifest. The worlds of imagination, fantasy and dreams are active, and some feel and act in a childlike manner. The days that comprise the Capricorn-Aquarius cusp exemplify some of the manifestations of Mystery and Imagination where the practical, conservative Capricorn nature clashes with unpredictable, unconventional Aquarian impulses.

The vivid and expressive individuals born on the Capricorn-Aquarius cusp generate excitement wherever they go. Capricorn-Aquarians' interest in the poor and most of them will not hesitate to make direct contributions of time, money or energy to help any one less fortunate than themselves. At the same time, however, they have little sympathy for those they see as free-loaders or parasites, able to pull their own weight but refusing to do so.

Capricorn-Aquarians love to tell and play jokes. Their mates, friends and family must not only understand but appreciate this need if those born in this week are to be kept happy. It isn't always easy, however, to keep up with Capricorn-Aquarians, who may one moment be dealing seriously with day-to-day problems, the next exploding in riotous laughter.

They generate excitement wherever they go, and they are lighthearted, entertaining but they are choatic, difficult and eruptive also.

You must find an outlet for your creative energy. Communicate what your experience. Try not to be discouraged by lack of understanding, ignorance or negative criticism. Don't go off the deep end, but, rather, find those who understand and appreciate you.

The Zodiac position of this week is approximately 2-11 degree Aquarius. The season is mid winter, the element is air and the ruler is Uranus.

The Aquarius I period takes Genius at its central image. According to The Grand Cycle of Life, this period can be symbolically likened to the years of a person’s early seventies. At this time, a more universal understanding of nature, time and man has emerged. Having to impress others, struggling to accumulate money, striving for success, shouldering family responsibilities – for many, these are a thing of the past. Time can be spent reading and thinking, and perhaps considering philosophical matters or areas of social or international concern. Ideally, wisdom has crystallized, for the outlook of a person this age is now somewhat fixed. The days that comprise Aquarius I symbolically reveal the elder facing advanced age and coming to the hard realization that not so many years may be left. Concerns of character, withdrawal from the world, thoughts about human destiny, but also memories of high points in life, for oneself and others – extraordinary scientific, philosophical or physical achievements – may be mentally surveyed.

Although Aquarius I’s may not necessarily be more intelligent than others in the year, they generally learn quickly and exhibit an alert. In their careers, those born in this week want to have things their own way. Self-employment or independent positions suit them better. In matters of love, Auarius I’s insist that their mates understand their need for freedom.

They are precocious and self-taught and they accept their uniqueness. Their weakness is that they can be emotionally unstable and at times can appear distracted, wired, and can be easily upset.

Clarify a realistic picture of yourself in your mind’s eye. A certain amount of undesirable personal interaction is always necessary; try to be a bit more thick-skinned and, if necessary, downright insensitive. Cultivate calm, patience and persistence rather than always going your own way. Learn to handle frustration and be tough enough to quietly demand the very best for yourself.

The Zodiac position of this week is approximately 10-19 degree Aquarius. The season is midwinter, element is air and the ruler is Uranus.

The Aquarius II period takes Youth and Ease as its central image. Paradoxically, this period can be related in human terms to the years of a person’s early to mid-seventies. Infact, a bond with children may spring up at this time (particularly one’s own grandchildren), and thus the maturity and wisdom of old age can mesh with the open and wonder-filled world of the child. At this stage of life very youthful impulses can surface – indeed, some report a kind of “second childhood.” Relaxing, taking it easy and in general having time on one’s hands can be enjoyable now. The days that comprise Aquarius II symbolically reveal the elder dealing with old age and finding ways to fill his/her time with meaningful activity. Expressing a measure of eccentricity and willfulness, perhaps finding new friends of one’s age, deepening relationships with children, universalizing one’s thought, and maximizing one’s comfort and happiness all manifest at this time.

The self-evaluation is generally based on their outward talents and abilities. They are accomplished admired and refined and the weakness is that they are immature and tortured.

Try to get in touch with your own deeper feelings. Sometimes it is better to meet problems head on. A bit of pain now may prevent much more later. Don’t be too dependent on others’ opinion of you. Have the courage to be yourself and don’t feel you have to please or entertain.

The Zodiac position of this week is approximately 18-27 degree Aquarius. The season is midwinter, element is air and the ruler is Uranus.

The Aquarius III period takes Acceptance as its central image. This period can be symbolically likened to a time in a person’s advanced age when a more accepting outlook has emerged. Many prejudices, preconceptions and judgmental attitudes have diminished in relevance and have perhaps been stripped away altogether. Although irritability and negativity can certainly rear their head at this late stage of life, many by this time have adopted a forgiving attitude toward themselves and the choices they have made, friends and loved ones – indeed, the world in general. For those who are religious, thoughts of the afterlife and a deepening sense of responsibility motivate charitable acts. Psychic powers, an enjoyment of the simple pleasures, humor and wisdom in thought and speech mark this time. Ideally, even those who may be struggling physically can manage to display a dignity and wholeness that is inspiring to younger people.

They are affectionate, lively and inventive. The weakness is that they may blame themselves constantly. It is impossible for them to take advice from family members than from friends or even strangers.

Accept your need for other people and cultivate meaningful social interaction. Remain open and accepting, but demand that others accept you as you are, too. Your psychic abilities are valuable – use them constructively. Beware of allowing rejection to lower your self-esteem.
