Writing this forecast just as the heaviest thoughts crossed my mind at 10:17PM in Forest Hills, NY….thinking wet blanket Saturn must be involved — and sure enough, there on the chart I’ve just pulled is dour old Saturn, planet of necessary control, sitting smack on the Ascendant, in opposition to the Moon in feisty Aries. Wet blanket, indeed! Wonder how others in New York are feeling this moment — which fortunately, will soon pass…definitely by the time you wake up in the AM.

The day features an efficient synergy for initiating new projects. Pick up the phone, send the email, write the pitch, build the structure. Also in effect today is a waxing connection from ruthless Pluto to loving Venus, suggesting a day or two of revelations in relationships and/or intensely held feelings that now demand release. Relationships with women can be especially edgy — or on the plus side, especially deep. This may be an opportunity to clear the air by addressing the question, “What is our status and what are we trying to make happen?” Kid gloves may come in handy.

In other news, happy birthday to composer John Williams. Of course he wrote the score for STAR WARS; most Aquarians feel perfectly at home in outer space. May the force be with you, Mr. Williams, and thanks again for that great Super Bowl commercial — they couldn’t have done it without your music.

Other items of note: http://www.npr.org/2011/02/07/133573780/super-ratings-for-super-bowl-111-million-a-record — as anticipated in my Super Bowl forecast — so that feels pretty good! Also noting this item that was published here in NY right after that “heavy influence from Saturn” I mentioned at the top of today’s forecast — how fitting: http://theater.nytimes.com/2011/02/08/theater/reviews/spiderman-review.html?hp (the critic declares this musical possibly one of the worst ever made)
