worldwide.  Be sure to enjoy a healthy,

happy, and prosperous New Year!

 

Sun transits Sagittarius, from 11:06 to 18:14°. 

This is good for leaders and governments.

Virgo and Libra. 

 

Mars transits Gemini, from 07:41 to 05:06°. 

Mars is retrograde until Jan. 30 and remains in Gemini until April

Mercury transits Sagittarius from 16:37 to 27:57°.  Mercury is combust until Jan. 10, but is

outside the orb of influence of other planets. 

This should be good for the stock market.

Sagittarius, from 07:57 to 09:33°, under the aspect of Mars and

Ketu.  There can be some fighting over

religious ideologies.

other planets.  Saturn is retrograde
