This is a powerful month for you with the Sun in your sign until the 19th . This means the way should be clearer to make headway for yourself personally and also with your personal interests and professional ambitions.
Mercury in your sign until midmonth

With Venus, planet of flow, in your piggy-bank sector until the 8th you can do well if you play your cards right and even better if you know how to manifest what you want. Venus tends will ease the flow of resources, just make sure this stream isn't travelling more out of your pocket than into it! You could find certain contacts are lucrative or they open the door to useful resources for you. This is a good time for acquiring basic stuff, improving the quality of resources and, overall, doing better materially.

This is your birthday month and therefore is a very good moment to do something nice for yourself. You might feel somewhat self-indulgent and want to treat yourself to pursuits or purchases which boost your morale or just help you to feel good. Perhaps improvements are happening in your/their space - inside or outside. This is the right time to negotiate a good deal for yourself or to assist another. Certain relationships may be centred around earning money, use of assets, improvements in material security, or buying/selling. Good time for getting a bargain as people seem more inclined to give you a fair deal or to help you out materially, so you could find yourself on the receiving end of treats - well it is your birthday time after all……. And collaborating with another related to improving cash flow or in other material ways is also well favoured.

From the 8th it's more likely you'll receive supportive feedback and an encouraging word here and there. And if you want to settle a feud then you can be very persuasive. There may be more access to music, creative self-expression and the arts generally.

Until midmonth it's likely you will be mentally sharper and much more alert and on the go. A good time to develop your communication skills and creative self-expression. But you could get scattered and nervy so do what you can to still your mind. But it's likely to be a very sociable time with more comings and goings and you could find that certain company is lucrative or provides other types of resources for you. Interactions of all kinds are emphasized - someone could take a shine to you which could boost your ego or your credit rating, or expand your social circle.

From midmonth it's a time when there's likely to be more mental focus, discussion or speculation around practical resources, money or property which throws a light on the physical/material aspects of life.

For several months Mars will be sensitizing your feelings and there will be a lot going on the inside of you as you strive to shift gears inwardly and outwardly. Finances and property or certain contracts or agreements could be a bone of contention but can also be an area where you and someone can have a joint share as long as both sides are clear about expectations. Also it could be time to throw your energies into a joint project or a venture which you know, relies on someone else's endorsement or input, and you could be striving to meet another's schedule or rules or be preoccupied by resources like money, space, or other things you may depend upon connected to another. You will probably feel that you have to tread carefully at certain times with certain people related to money, property or other resources which may not be that easy as your feelings will be more sensitive or you feel others are being manipulative, so you have to be more guarded. However, intuition will be working well and you can rely on that gut knowing to shine it's light on the path before you.

Another way this can work is that you realise a relationship is becoming more intense or deep - or, that you are taking a breather in a relationship. Either way it could mean a gear-change is happening in your feelings in a certain area of your life.

Mars is retrograde until April which tends to slow things down. The more inner pressures you may feel the closer you come to a breakthrough when you realize something that is of more value or less importance than you thought. From April you will have ditched a certain standpoint and be rolling forwards with another which is more fulfilling.

From the 19th your 'stuff' or their 'stuff' will be highlighted.
THE SLOWER MOVING PLANETS:

Jupiter at the root of your chart until June 2012 promises an increased sense of stability and security related to home, family, and your sense of belonging. Externally, your base of operations could change, expand or move completely whilst Jupiter is transiting here. It could mean you are coming and going more, or have more long-distance interests. If you are looking, this is a good time to relocate, or have intermittent access to an environment you prefer, which may be at a distance. Jupiter is a teacher planet and that indicates you will be learning new things through family, neighbours or those in the community both at home or over the wires during the coming months even though it may be a culture or mindset which is strange, exotic or simply not what you are used to.

It's likely you will begin to feel more emotionally anchored over this time.
Even though you have increased ability to concentrate, Saturn tends to make it more difficult to get your head outside of the box it is habitually inside, but you will have a yearning to focus your mind, learn, understand and get the eagle-eye view. Saturn needs proof, it's true, but be careful you don't miss something which is right under your nose. There will probably be challenge related to a teacher, academia, spiritual philosophies or a foreign land. You may be questioning the relevance of certain past interests, the veracity of knowledge or beliefs, some of which you took onboard earlier in life, you may be getting a new perspective on aspects of life in general. So if you are yearning for pastures new geographically or academically you will finally experience the true reality of previous ideas when you come down to earth - not necessarily with a bump - but things may not quite be what you expected by the end of the transit in 2012. Aquarians born in the last 2 days or with 27-28 degrees rising will feel this vibration most this month.
Uranus, your ruling planet, will be working from Aries for about 7 years gradually changing the way you think and even the language or jargon you use. It will bestow wonderful opportunities to open your mind to new concepts, and through comings and goings in your community, expand your thinking and maybe get you interested in studying a weird subject like astrology or something in the sciences but with an unconventional slant or application. This energy also favours, anything innovative in the field of IT or sustainable energy, or other areas you might term 'alien' and which put you ahead of the rest. Aquarians born 21st - 24th Jan or with the first 5 degrees rising will feel this vibration most this month.

Neptune has been in Aquarius since 1998. Idealism, charitableness, artistic interests or fantastic creative imagination and sometimes lack of hard-headed realism will have been increased along with your psychic nature and your urge towards escapism.

Neptune will slide out into its home sign Pisces on 4th February there to stay until 2025. This new position of Neptune means that slowly your values will be changing and that a sacrifice may have to be made for something or someone worthwhile to you. On a mundane level it would be wise not to overlook things or allow blurred boundaries when it comes to money or property.

Aquarians born 16th - 19th Feb with the last two degrees of Aquarius rising will feel this influence most this month.
The life-changing force of Pluto now in Capricorn means regeneration from deep levels regarding letting go of ingrained patterns and scenarios from the past. Letting go of an old way of being and a gradual re-birthing into a new being is in progress. There will be a subtle gear-shift deep within you as the old order is crumbling and the decks are clearing in preparation for a reinvention of yourself.

For many years to come, Pluto will continue to root out old habits and knee-jerk responses which are counterproductive. Helping you to slay the demons and regenerate from deep levels. Aquarians born Jan 26th -30th or within 7-11 degrees Aquarius rising will feel this vibration most strongly this month.
