January 2011 Horoscopes for Low Aimers

Here’s what’s going down for everyone this month:
Happy New Year Babies!  Whew, right? As 2011 greets us we might look like bedraggled travelers who have barely survived the rough skies of 2010, but we did brush our teeth in the airport when we landed, so at least our breath is fresh.  Fortunately Mercury will be out of retrograde on January 15th, so all of those insane communication, travel and electronic snafus (otherwise known as the Grinch Airline Who Stole Christmas) should lessen.  A partial solar eclipse happens on January 4th and we won’t be able to see it in North America so that’s majorly unfair, but it should help us continue to untangle the knots left from last year, so that’s good. Mid month is pretty ooey gooey emotional because of a Mercury-Pluto/Moon-Cancer fling, but the end of the month is looking good for handing financial matters with a logical approach, so we all might want to reserve sitting down with ye olde holiday credit card statements until then.
Know any January birthdays? Shout out a birthday tweet to the divine Mary J. Blige (@maryjblige) on January 11th and to Paula Deen (@paula_deen) on the 19th.  Be sure to dip Paula’s in butter first.  Mmmm, butter!
Your Scope on the Rocks for December 2010

Aries: You’re singing like Aretha demanding RESPECT right now, as well you should. I’ll sing back up for you. You are craving more autonomy, aligning your projects and social media platforms, and flat out rollling up your sleeves and getting your shit together. Sock it to me sock it to me!

Taurus: You are about ready to pull the trigger and sign up for that trip or new thing you’ve been thinking about, so Mazel Tov, chica. January is going to be like that scene in Free Willy where the boy is on the rocks and gives him the sign to “Jump High.” (Which only works if you are talking to trained Willies, by the way, don’t stand in the streets of San Francisco or Manhattan and expect THAT to work. Times Square, maybe, not sure.) Anyway, yeah, go for it!

Gemini: This month might feel like a extended director’s cut of Titanic to you, sweet Gemini.  The drama! The tears! The triumph!  Here’s hoping that a handsome artist offers to make a lovely sketch of your ass to really treasure the moment. Here’s also hoping that Celine Dion is no where to be heard.

Cancer: You are tapped to prop up, wake up, entertain, feed, bail out and otherwise rescue others this month more than your average Rolling Stones groupie. Which is a lot. Don’t forget to take care of yourself, too.  Remember, that oxygen mask on the plane goes on your mouth first.  That’s what the flight attendant says, and they are the keepers of the Diet Cokes and tiny bottles of clear and brown liquids which is what I want more than a flotation device in case of emergency, so I do what they say, and so should you.

Leo: This month finds you feeling less stressed and more confident in the new you that is taking control after recent changes. Go ahead, shout it from the rooftops, from your blog, Facebook and Twitter–hell, start a new blog, what’s one more?–you are inspiring others who need a boost to make it to the other side, too. Rawr!

Virgo: You seem to be getting your house in order. I guess you mean it when you say you really don’t want to be on Hoarders, do you? Maybe you are thinking about or needing to move, or you’ve been inspired by lifestyle blogs to redecorate and re-Feng Shui what you’ve got. I know, the Mrs. is fabulous, isn’t she?  Good timing, you’ll be ready to work should that interesting opportunity come through towards the end of the month.

Libra: People are really starting to pay attention and listen to you.  I know! Which is great, because you’ve got a lot to say. It’s also kind of scary, because you don’t want every status update or sticky note to be seen as a Manifesto. Some of them, sure, but not all of them.  Just use it for good, like when that kid in Billy Madison pees his pants, and Adam Sandler dumps water on his own pants and tells the kids that if you want to be cool, you’ve gotta have wet pants.  Do stuff like that, just maybe without involving bodily fluids that need to be worn all day, because at the end of the day nobody likes that.

Scorpio: You are busy, but you are feeling strong and brave, happy that things are finally happening the way you want them to this month. Seriously, you ARE the girl with the short skirt and the looooooong jacket and the mind like a diamond that everyone’s been singing about.  Oh, snap!

Sagittarius: Another big month for you, with Jupiter doubleteaming with Uranus and then zooming into fiery Aries. It’s like when things are going just fine in Pac Man and then you swallow a power pellet just as Blinky and his pals are coming close and you catch up with them and just slam them down in a couple gulps and woosh! Get ‘er done, Sag, get ‘er done.
Capricorn: You may have been feeling a little quiet and withdrawn lately, but you were probably just moving slow and steady, protecting your reserves to withstand some upcoming heavy duty attention at the end of the month, kind of like performers do before kicking off a concert tour, except they do it at spas and resorts.  I once saw Madonna hanging out in a cabana at the Westin Diplomat years ago and I didn’t talk to her because I respect her need for down time.  Also because she didn’t wave back at me, the self-absorbed witch. You won’t be like that, though, I’m sure. Not my sweet Cappy!
Aquarius: Let tell you a little story.  Once I was on this tour bus, and everyone was feeling bummed and sad, alone and dejected, especially me. And then Elton John’s Tiny Dancer started playing, and at first that just felt more sad, because that man can make you weep. But then one by one, people started singing along, until the whole tour bus was singing hold me closer Tiny Dancer, imagine the gorgeous chorus of that, and it was comfort, it was beauty, I was held together by the love in that bus, I was home. I think that either happened to me or it was in Almost Famous but that’s not what’s important here. What’s important is that sometime this month you’ll shift from carrying it all on your own to feeling the tour bus singing around you, and that will be a fine time for you indeed. Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you’ll marry a music man …
Pisces: This month is one of those Dionne Warwick months, where you might find out who your real best friends are and be called upon to be one in return. Do what you can to put aside doubt and act with conviction through some confusing business matters. Don’t blink when you tell people how much your goods or services cost. Don’t blink, just smile. You deserve it all! Actually, you deserve, much much more!
What do you think?  Are the stars in your favor?  Even if they aren’t, I am, promise.  It’s you, me, Mary J. and Paula Deen against the world this January.  Stronger with each tear, baby, and sweeter with each bite. I’m down with that.
