If Your Birthday is Jan. 21
(The Day of the Frontrunner) | Aquarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Often one is spurred to show an inventively humanitarian spirit in response to the inspiring, beautiful acts of others. Yet sometimes it is actually the things that are scary, violent or destructive which motivate us to embody forward-thinking ideals for the good of all. Today may be a particularly opportune time for you to hone your awareness of the second scenario, and get to work.
Written in the Planets
In one of the upcoming sign readings for The Book of Your Life, Eric writes of the centaur planet Ixion: “Ixion can represent sexual aggression, transgression of boundaries, suspension of ethics, and acting in a way that people don’t matter.” Today Mars in Pisces squares Ixion in Sagittarius. With Mars in Pisces upping the sensitivity ante, you’ll want to watch how you react to things that upset you — especially anything that smacks of injustice or amorality. It does not give you the green light to react in kind; remember, two wrongs never make a right. If you’re feeling slighted, injured or transgressed-against, see if you can tap the Piscean Mars’ positive side: artistic and musical expression, and deeply intuitive understanding.
