This is the day that many of you will begin implementing those New Years resolutions. And if you are starting that diet, gym membership, stop smoking program, or other new activity, I send my best to you for success. But I also have a few questions ...
Why today? Why now? What are you hoping to accomplish with this new activity? And most importantly, what's motivating you? Is it this deep need to make a change, or because it's the new year and this is what you're "supposed" to do?
It's important to understand your true motivation as today Jupiter squares both the North and South Nodes @ 1° Gemini/Sagittarius. Jupiter, which sat at 0° Pisces for several days, now moves to 1°. And this square at 1° will only last for one day, as the tomorrow the Nodes move to 0°.
This square occurring at 1° is a reminder that changes you make in your life have to be motivated by a deep love of self. Without this foundation you will stay with this new activity as long as it's convenient, easy and providing immediate gratification. And you will give up when it requires saying NO to energies you used to say YES to.
So if today your motivation is because it's January and you're supposed to have some kind of New Year's resolution, I encourage you to think again, and not even start until you've got your motivation nailed down. Because what you do under a Jupiter influence such as this will most definitely expand and become bigger.
