January 2015 to March 2015

We aren’t going to lie, January starts off a little scrunchy as we have some leftover Uranus square Pluto action lingering from December. Did any of you experience any major mishaps right before the holidays? We did! At our house, it manifested through a simple accident that led to some not so simple problems. The accident? An orange juice spill on a laptop! Have you ever seen orange juice pouring out of one of your USB ports? It’s not an exciting and miraculous feeling, let me tell you. One computer mishap led to many days and even weeks of problems, one of those problems I am STILL dealing with. It’s all good, we had a beautiful holiday, but this is just an example of the Uranus square Pluto effect.

　　Huge challenges and problems that literally come right out of the blue that can not be specifically predicted, and leave a lingering effect for weeks. What was your Uranus square Pluto problem in December? We are going to see some of this energy trickle into the beginning of 2015 unfortunately.

　　

January 3, 2015 to February 15, 2015: Uranus square Pluto

Just as January gets rolling the Uranus square Pluto forms a T square that is going to cause some wrinkles. Prepare yourself by backing up your computer, making sure the oil in your car has been checked, and making sure you haven’t missed any doctor’s appointments or work deadlines. Like orange juice on a laptop, you can’t predict WHEN or WHAT is going to happen, all you know is that something can, and probably will.

　　As these are unavoidable events, another thing to keep in mind is your attitude. If you are grumpy and miserable and blame the world when orange juice spills on your metaphorical laptop, the problem is more impossible to deal with. If you take it in stride, and realize these problems aren’t actually going to ruin your life, they are much easier to deal with. I was laughing about the orange juice not long after it happened, and although it still stank like rotten bananas, it all ended up okay. Here’s a good mantra to keep in mind when your Uranus square Pluto wrinkles crop up. Will it matter in 10 minutes? 10 months? Or 10 years? If it isn’t even going to matter beyond 10 minutes or 10 months, you shouldn’t act like it’s ruined your life. This too shall pass my dears!

　　

January 5, 2015 to March 3, 2015: Mercury Retrograde in Pisces and Aquarius

We will cover this in more detail when the time comes, but if you have been reading us for a while then you know the problems Mercury Retrograde can cause. There will be confusion and delay in short journeys like road trips, flights shorter than a couple of hours, all paperwork involved with traveling or journeys, and paperwork in general. Emails will get lost, contracts will get slowed in the mail, you name it, things that involve communication, communication devices, and things that you use for travel are subject to problems.

　　Take extra special care when planning travel or anything that requires important documentation, or Mercury Retrograde will find a way to slow you down! The good news about this transit is that on March 3, 2015 and March 4, 2015, this Mercury retrograde period ends with a small miracle of a Jupiter and Uranus trine. Expect some good luck and out of the blue miracles to come your way this day if you are harnessing the energy right!

　　

March 17, 2015: Uranus square Pluto. Again.

The bad news? Early in 2015 you will experience another Uranus square Pluto bang up. The good news? It will be the last one for many, many Moons. This will begin on March 11 when Mars and Uranus get their fight on in a conjunction that will launch Uranus square Pluto by March 17, 2015. March 11 could be a dangerous day for some, especially when it comes to cars and driving with Mars in play. Expect some road rage out there, or some reckless driving from those around you.

　　By March 17 this energy is going to pick up speed unfortunately. As this Uranus square Pluto effect falls in the star of Vega, you can use this energy to go within and do some soul searching or spiritual work. A great attitude will help you get through this time if you personally experience any Uranus square Pluto effects. But with Vega in play for this one, some spiritual angels will be around you to help you sort this one out.

　　Those in advertising and marketing will enjoy some special help from Vega during this period, so any area where you need to “sell yourself” to a lover, a boss, or anyone, will experience some extra energy during this period. Once this Uranus square Pluto passes though, if you can pass it unscathed and/or with the best attitude, the next gift from the universe will make up for any angst you’ve experienced thus far getting there.

　　

March 20, 2015: New Moon in Pisces and Solar Eclipse

The New Moon in Pisces that falls on March 20, 2015, is also a solar eclipse. This is your first truly beautiful gift from the universe in 2015, as it offers so much potential. Eclipses are game changers! If you need a complete 180 in your life, spend the first three months of the year tying up the loose ends you need to do it. By the time the solar eclipse comes around in March, you will be ready to eclipse all that you need to eclipse OUT of your life.

　　Again, we will go into more detailed action plans for you down the road when this event is about to occur. For now, all you need to know is to put this date on the calendar, and start really thinking over the next few months about what game changing moments you want, and need, in your life this year. YOU have all the power! What do YOU want to eclipse out of your life this year? Making that room creates room for miracles! Time to start thinking about it!

　　

April 2015 to June 2015

April 4, 2015: Full Moon in Libra Lunar Eclipse

This Spring is going to be an active one when it comes to the magical power of eclipses. Exactly two weeks after your beautiful New Moon in Pisces solar eclipse, we are seeing a lovely Full Moon in Libra lunar eclipse that presents another game changing option for you. This one activates some more Uranus square Pluto action so if you have been needing a transformation in your relationships, this is when it should happen this year.

　　For some, there will be unexpected surprises that you can’t control. For others, you will be in the captain’s seat of striking out anything that does not serve you. This will be a period of transformation, and because it is an eclipse, that means its effects will be experienced for many months to come.

　　

April 20 to 26, 2015: Grand Trine in the Earth Signs!

After all of this heavy energy, trust me when I say Universe will not leave you empty handed. Remember that Universe is about balance. So if you are experiencing something particularly awful right now, rest assured that some good is coming your way to balance that out. For those of you that will experience epic transformation over a Uranus square or a lunar eclipse, some magic is coming your way with a Grand Trine in the Earth Signs.

　　Of course, the Earth Signs will be the zodiac signs that will experience this energy at its highest intensity. But all zodiac signs will be able to enjoy the miracles that will come with the Grand Trine in the Earth Signs, a transit that will last from April 20 to April 26, 2015. This is a lovely conjunction of Mars and Mercury activating in Taurus and Capricorn. As Taurus and Capricorn are Earth Signs that keep it real, aren’t afraid to work, and have responsibility in spades, these are the themes you can expect to see benefits in the Spring of 2015 with this transit.

　　This is a really great time of the year for gardeners who will feel rejuvenated! If you personally are feeling a little down in the dumps, get your hands dirty and feel renewed. Yes, actually getting your hands in the Earth for whatever reason will produce miracles. Don’t believe me? Try it, and you will see!

　　

May 19, 2015 to June 11, 2015: Mercury Retrograde in Gemini

The last major transit in the first half of the year of the 2015 astrological forecast is the Mercury retrograde in Gemini that occurs between May 19, 2015 and June 11, 2015. Again, Mercury retrograde is going to be providing you with confusion and delays in areas that Mercury rules. These include, short journeys, communications, communication devices, travel plans, anything that requires or needs the delivery of messages. Gemini is ruled by Mercury making this retrograde all the more intense!

　　The only way you can prevent mishaps from happening to you in this one is just by being prepared. I’ve seen everything from car accidents to computer crashes to flights getting cancelled under this transit, so make your list, and check it twice, and, put on your happy face for when inevitable challenges or delays arrive. Remember what I said about balance. The best news about uncomfortable news is that it is only temporary, and Universe rewards karma to those that put on a happy face down the road. So, if you experience communication or message problems in this period, know that the sunny side is the way to handle it if you want miracles to eventually come your way.

　　And there you have it folks! Because we have SO much to talk about over the course of ONE whole year, we are going to leave your 2015 astrological forecast at that for today. Be sure to check back before New Year’s Eve however and we will have Part 2 all loaded up so that you can be sure your calendar is well stocked and prepared for 2015. Until then, always remember that Universe is about balance.

　　We can’t promise you a perfect year ahead. We’d love to be able to do that. But we wouldn’t be doing our jobs if we said that. Even so, we know we have something better for you than promises of a perfect year. We can promise you the law of the Universe provides balance for those that know how to handle these challenging times with grace and dignity. No matter what astrological transits are coming our way, know that there ARE miracles ahead for you in 2015 no matter what. Check back next week to find out what miracles lie ahead for the last half of 2015! Happy New Year from Astrology Answers! What miracles are you most excited about? What about 2015 are you looking forward to?
