It was an interesting week with Sun’s T-square to the Jupiter-Saturn opposition (January 19-22), the new moon in Aquarius January 23, and Mars turning retrograde on January 24. Eurpoean market has reached at highest level since August 2011.Friday was also the weekly high in the Australian All ordinaries, China’s Shanghai, and India’s Nifty indices. After Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and the Fed announced that they would now keep the Fed funds interest rates near zero percent for three more years, the DJIA soared to 12,842 on Thursday, January 26.

Mars is retrograde now (January 24-April 14), so matters could get tricky here. There is not a lot of geocosmic activity going on this week. Perhaps the most noteworthy signature is Venus in opposition to this retrograde Mars on February 1. Venus is in Pisces, where it truly loves agreement and peace. It doesn’t like a hassle or a confrontation. But Mars retrograde in Virgo probably sees this weakness of Venus in Pisces, and decides to badger it. But speaking of all that, we note that on February 3 Neptune will begin its 14-year trek through Pisces, the sign it rules Jupiter ends its transit of 23 degrees Aries through 7 degrees of Taurus on March 7, 2012.
