2018 Weekly Forecasts by Pam Ciampi
Overview of 2018 With no sign changes in sight this year for Pluto, Neptune, and Saturn, it is reasonable to expect that the areas these planets govern will remain on a similar trajectory. With Pluto in Capricorn there will be continued fluctuations in weather patterns and changes in the world economy and governments. Neptune in Pisces indicates that our collective mindset is focused on virtual, rather than actual, reality. And with Saturn in Capricorn there will be a continuing call for law and order as well as a longing to return to the past. The best news of the year comes with two Jupiter-Neptune trines and a Grand Earth Trine. The Jupiter-Neptune trines will have the widespread effect of lifting our spirits and will help to ease the impact of the changes Uranus has in store (see next paragraph) by focusing on the positive and on generosity toward others less fortunate. This compassionate combination carries an optimism and a faith that things are on the way to getting better. The Grand Trine in earth signs in August between the Sun, Uranus, and Saturn can help to bridge the gap between the old and the new by focusing our minds on how to bring our ideas down to earth. The major hurdle of 2018 comes from Uranus as it makes its first sign change since 2011 when it enters Taurus in May. Although Uranus will make one more trip back into Aries, this entrance into Taurus is a major marker for the years 2018–2025. Because Taurus is part of the earth element, this sign change signals a major showdown between Uranian technology and Mother Earth and marks the beginning of a major new cycle that suggests we are in for a period of shock and awe. Uranus changes signs every seven years, but the last time it was in Taurus was in 1935–1942, a time best remembered as the years of the Great Depression and the beginning of World War II. King Edward VIII also abdicated the English throne in 1936, and this cycle may indicate another great upheaval in the British monarchy. While another great 35

war does not appear to be in the stars, the twenty-first-century return of Uranus to Taurus could also signal drastic changes through earthquakes and other kinds of extreme weather. Since Taurus also rules over money and finance, we might also expect sudden shifts in banking, the stock market, and other financial institutions. This is a major sign change and one that definitely bears close watching. This year is especially lucky for Scorpios because Jupiter will spend time in that sign from January to November, bringing growth, opportunities, and good fortune to those with Scorpio prominent in their horoscope. Another happy note is that there will be only three Mercury retrogrades this year instead of the usual four or five. In Chinese astrology, 2018 is the Year of the Earth Dog, which is a hopeful indication of a year of stability that includes more wagging and less barking. Also of note is that both Venus and Mars are scheduled to go retrograde this year. Because Venus (the ruler of love and marriage) will begin its retrograde in Scorpio (the sign of its detriment), this indicator is a big no-no for getting married between September 9 and the end of the year. Sorry, but if you’re playing by celestial rules, Venus retrograde and in Scorpio is a deal breaker for a wedding (see October 1–7). The greatest effect of the Mars retrograde is that it will put Mars in Aquarius for six months instead of six weeks, which guarantees that Mars will come into conflict with Uranus in May, August, and September. This means that this violent and unpredictable combination will occur two more times than is usual. On another note, Mars and Venus also represent male and female stereotypes, which may turn the spotlight back on transgender issues, including sexual reassignments. Looking at the New and Full Moons for this year, January and March will be especially bright, with two Full Supermoons, and February will be unusually dark, with no Full Moon at all. As for eclipses, the news is nowhere near as dramatic as last year’s Total Solar Eclipse. This year there are three Partial Solar Eclipses and two Total Lunar Eclipses. The eclipse seasons this year are in January/February and July/August and will have a primary effect on Aquarians and Leos, with the exception of the July 12 eclipse, which is in Cancer. There are also two other astronomical (not astrological) phenomena on the 2018 calendar. The first one will be at an unspecified date in 36

early 2018 when astronomers will be gearing up to watch some highenergy fireworks. That’s when J2032, the crushed core of a massive star that exploded as a supernova, will crash into one of the brightest stars (MT91 213) in our galaxy. The other event is the NASA launch in May of a new space mission called InSight to study the deep interior of Mars. And of course there is always Elon Musk’s SpaceX project to make sure we keep our eyes on the stars.

January 1—7 Welcome to the dawn of another year! As usual there is a lot going on in the stars, and the goal of the weekly planetary forecasts is to explain what it all means in a way that’s clear and easy to understand. As we all know, January 1 is celebrated as New Year’s Day, and although ancient records dating back 4,000 years tell us that the beginning of the year was originally linked to the stars, there’s also a surprising reveal that the new year didn’t always begin on January 1. In ancient Babylon, the first day of the new year was in March or April because it was based on the first New Moon after the spring equinox. In Egypt, the new year was observed in mid-July and coincided with the rising of the fixed star Sirius. And for thousands of years Lunar New Year has occurred in either late January or February on the second New Moon after the winter solstice. The first time the new year was celebrated on January 1 was in 46 BCE, when Julius Caesar instituted his very own version of a calendar (the Julian calendar) that was not star-based, which is the calendar we use today. The first day of 2018 starts off on a high note with a Cancer Full Moon that is also a Supermoon. A Supermoon is a Full or New Moon that is on its closest trajectory to Earth. If a Supermoon is also a Full Moon, like this one, it can appear up to 7 percent bigger and 16 percent brighter than the average Full Moon. Because winter Supermoons 38

tend to be bigger than summer Supermoons, this is definitely a Full Moon you’ll want to watch. Besides being “super,” this Full Moon is graced by two trines (one from Neptune and another from Mars) that will energize the ocean tides as well as give rise to our inner emotional tides. The energy shifts in a different direction on Tuesday, January 2, when Uranus turns direct. Uranus’s change to forward movement is a subtle but important reminder that it’s time to wake up the inner rebel that’s been sleeping for the last five months. If you’re looking for a good day to make a big change, the best day of this week is Saturday, January 6, because that’s when power-wielding Mars in Scorpio hitches its considerable strength to Jupiter’s lucky wagon. This conjunction is a special opportunity that needs to be handled with care, because if you can’t keep all that firepower under control, you could end up in a ditch.
January 8—14 This is a week when the Sun meets up with both Venus and Pluto, Mercury changes signs, and Venus gets into hot water with Uranus. The Capricorn Sun joins together first with Venus and then with Pluto on Tuesday, January 9. This Sun-Venus-Pluto trio could have an intense and transformative effect on personal as well as business relationships by reminding us that anything can be transformed from a negative into a positive through love. This influence will be in place for a week. Communications get serious and fear-based when Mercury moves into Capricorn on Thursday, January 11, and merges with Saturn on Saturday, January 13. Although this Mercury-CapricornSaturn trinity is a classic signature of a depressed perspective, it also has a surprisingly dry sense of humor that reminds us not to take things too seriously. A Venus-Uranus square also on Saturday, January 13, could bring short-term challenges to social relationships through unexpected urges or events.
January 15—21 The Capricorn New Moon dominates this week by signaling that it’s time to take a new perspective on your career and how you project yourself into the outer world. On Tuesday, January 16, the New Moon 39
2018_DailyPlanetaryGuide.indb 39
3/20/17 12:29 PM
joins last week’s Capricorn lineup of the Sun, Venus, Mercury, and Pluto. Because every New Moon symbolizes a time of new beginnings, this is a message that it’s time to look at your past goals with a new perspective. The energy starts to move on Wednesday, January 17, when Venus enters Aquarius. This change of sign echoes the excitement, unconventionality, and need for space in social relationships of last week’s Venus-Uranus square. The Sun follows the same path on Friday, January 19, when it also moves into Aquarius and you are urged to lighten up and focus on the future. Here are four things to put on your to-do list while the Sun and Venus are in Aquarius for the next month: break out of your comfort zone, network with friends and colleagues, buy a new mobile device, and make your own bucket list.
January 22—28 If you’re in the mood for secrets or digging into something taboo, the best day of this week to do so is Wednesday, January 24, when Mercury merges with secretive Pluto and this becomes a time when communications go underground because there is an obsessive need to dig for dirt. There’s a shift from dark to light on Friday, January 26, when Mars moves out of Scorpio’s shadows and into adventurous Sagittarius. The impulsive nature and eagerness of this fiery planetsign combination rushing out to meet the next exciting experience will provide plenty of opportunities for sports and other kinds of adventures over the next eight weeks. The last time Mars transited Sagittarius was in 2016. Early on Saturday, January 27, the Aquarius Sun trines the Gemini Moon. Because both Aquarius and Gemini are social air signs, this trine favors networking with friends and associates through social media. If you really want to get crazy, you could go old school and have a real-time conversation without the aid of a mobile device.
January 29—February 4 The big news this week is a very special Aquarius Full Moon on Wednesday, January 31. This Full Moon is special in three different ways: it’s a Blue Moon (second Full Moon of the month), a Supermoon 40

Finding Opportunity Periods by Jim Shawvan There are times when the most useful things you can do are ordinary tasks such as laundry, cooking, listening to music, reading, learning, or meditating. There are other times when the universe opens the gates of opportunity. Meetings, decisions, or commitments during these “Opportunity Periods” can lead to new and positive developments in your life. Most people are unaware of these subtle changes in the energies, so they wind up doing laundry when they could be signing an important contract, or they go out to try to meet a new sweetheart when the energies for such a thing are totally blocked. I developed the Opportunity Periods system over more than thirty years, as I tested first one hypothesis and then another in real life. In about 1998, when I studied classical astrology with Lee Lehman, the system got some added zing, including William Lilly’s idea that the Moon when void-of-course in the signs of the Moon and Jupiter “performeth somewhat.” The signs of the Moon and Jupiter are Taurus, Cancer, Sagittarius, and Pisces. For those who want to understand the details of the system, they are explained here. If you simply want to use the system, all the information you need is on the calendar pages (you don’t need to learn the technicalities). An Opportunity Period (OP) is a period in which the aspects of the transiting Moon to other transiting planets show no interference with the free flow of decision and action. Opportunity Periods apply to everyone in the world all at once; although, if the astrological influences on your own chart are putting blocks in your path, you may not be able to use every OP to the fullest. Nevertheless, you are always better off taking important actions and making crucial decisions during an Opportunity Period.

Steps to Find Your Opportunity Periods Under Sun’s Beams Step 1: Determine whether the Moon is “under Sun’s beams”; that is, less than 17 degrees from the Sun. If it is, go to step 7. If not, continue to step 2.
Moon Void-of-Course Step 2: Determine when the Moon goes void-of-course (v/c). The Moon is said to be void-of-course from the time it makes the last Ptolemaic aspect (conjunction, sextile, square, trine, or opposition) in a sign until it enters the next sign. In eight of the twelve signs of the zodiac, Moon-void periods are NOT Opportunity Periods. In the other four signs, however, they are! According to seventeenth-century astrologer William Lilly, the Moon in the signs of the Moon and Jupiter “performeth somewhat.” Lee Lehman says that she has taken this to the bank many times—and so have I.
Stressful or Easy Aspect Step 3: Determine whether the aspect on which the Moon goes void is a stressful or an easy aspect. Every square is stressful, and every trine and every sextile is easy. Conjunctions and oppositions require judgment according to the nature of the planet the Moon is aspecting, and according to your individual ability to cope with the energies of that planet. For example, the Moon applying to a conjunction of Jupiter, Venus, or Mercury is easy, whereas, for most purposes, the Moon applying to a conjunction of Saturn, Mars, Neptune, Pluto, or Uranus is stressful. However, if you are a person for whom Uranus or Pluto is a familiar and more or less comfortable energy, you may find that the period before the Moon’s conjunction to that planet is an Opportunity Period for you. (Since this is true for relatively few people, such periods are not marked as OPs in this book.) Oppositions can work if the Moon is applying to an opposition of Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, or the Sun (just before the Full Moon). The Moon applying to a conjunction with the Sun (New Moon) presents a whole set of issues on its own. See step 7. 73

Calendar Pages How to Use Your Daily Planetary Guide Both Eastern and Pacific times are given in the datebook. The Eastern times are listed in the left-hand column. The Pacific times are in the right-hand column in bold typeface. Note that adjustments have been made for Daylight Saving Time. The void-of-course Moon is listed to the right of the daily aspect at the exact time it occurs. It is indicated by “@ v/c.” On days when it occurs for only one time zone and not the other, it is indicated next to the appropriate column and then repeated on the next day for the other time zone. Note that the monthly ephemerides in the back of the book are shown for midnight Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Opportunity Periods are designated by the letters “OP.” See page 72 for a detailed discussion on how to use Opportunity Periods.

The Planetary Hours The selection of an auspicious time for starting any activity is an important matter. Its existence tends to take on a nature corresponding to the conditions under which it was begun. Each hour is ruled by a planet, and the nature of any hour corresponds to the nature of the planet ruling it. The nature of the planetary hours is the same as the description of each of the planets. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are considered here as higher octaves of Mercury, Venus, and Mars. Sunrise Hour 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
