Even if you were to narrow your focus, the next handful of days will probably defy at least some of your anticipations. So long as you see such potential as a good thing, it will not matter what your opinion of astrology is. Given a chance, however, what the zodiac and sky are now combining to say could very well be both informative and useful.
The temptation here is to go all technical on you. That’s because the astrological details are as elegant as they are complex. Such an approach, however, would ultimately and unavoidably be counterproductive for any attempt to gain erudition or solve problems.
If you will allow it, some orientation would be a good place to begin. In a very real (as well as symbolic) sense, the premise offered here is that we are now in a transitional phase. The celestial character of 2017 is tapering down, but still very much a part of the big picture. By the same token, many of 2018’s cosmic trends have yet to distinctly surface, even though they are undeniably ramping up.
It would be plausible to interpret the upcoming Aquarius New Moon and partial solar eclipse on Feb. 15 as the tipping point of this posited transitional tableau. Interestingly, the very same New Moon (only the second since the Capricorn Solstice of Dec. 21. 2017) will herald the next Asian Lunar New Year.
In essence, astronomically derived reckonings from two divergent cultural perspectives are arguably in the process of merging in agreement on an initiating moment. If you can see merit in that argument, you will also have a useful template to frame unanticipated experiences.
On the whole, it would not be advisable to get caught up in all of the technical details contributing to such a template — even if they are delicious. Even so, it would also be a good idea (and not a contradiction) to acknowledge the prevalence of complexity over specificity for the time being.
Paradoxical as it may seem, a narrow focus alone is unlikely to provide either the data or solutions you’re most likely to be looking for next week. Your life could (in the near term, at least) very well require a more diverse and inclusive approach than ever before to achieve the most manageably simple outcome.
The better you can grasp that, the better your hold on what looks to be a slippery future.

Eric is busily working on The Art of Becoming, the 2018 Planet Waves Annual; and it’s shaping up to be an exciting, information-packed edition. You can pre-order all 12 chapter-length signs here, or you may choose your individual signs here.
I think the bravery of athletes in the Olympic”s are a good example of the complexity you speak of. In particular, the American figure skater ‘Mirai Nagasu’, whose triple axel will be remembered in Olympic History. The Capricorn New Moon brought in some extremely intense Saturn in Capricorn emotional energy; it certainly changed the course to my slippery future. This New Moon (in Aquarius) is also ruled by Saturn, but that emotional intensity is more detached; although perhaps still being projected by fixed nature of the sign. Eric called it ‘a preverbal emotive chaos'; quite an amazing fellow, and as was his guest: Kasia Urbaniak. Thanks Len, there’s much here to ponder on.
