Applying Sun Trine Mars
Bold leadership and action, such as exciting sports events or military raids, often occur under this transit. It is a “hot” aspect favorable for initiating first time events or for breaking new ground.
Applying Moon Sextile Saturn
People are thoughtful and serious now. It’s a time for traditions, pragmatic decisions, and sensitive diplomacy.
Applying Mercury Trine Uranus
Progressive decisions and agreements are reached now. Strikes, rallies, and protests are successful now. Innovations make news.
Applying Venus Square Mars
Passions and desires may create problems. Competitive situations may degenerate into conflicts. Females will assume more power, impulsive spending increases, and peace efforts become strained.
Applying Mars Square Neptune
The motivations, actions, and initiatives of some people may seem questionable now. People tend to be driven more by ideology or beliefs than by reality. At worst, there is name calling, confusion over remarks, weak or deceptive leadership, and sometimes fires or other disasters. Often there is more smoke than fire.
Jupiter void in Aries
Moral and legal matters assume prominence and are used to justify broad-sweeping actions. Decisions that have required long and careful thought, or have been dragged out, are finally made. Growth trends reach a peak or a set of limits. This may be a time to sell, or buy, depending on where trends have been leading. Confidence is high but it is volatile. Important decisions or spiritual events may make news now.
Saturn void in Aquarius
Formalities are the rule; traditions are maintained. Groups of old friends, family, and comrades assemble to remember the past. Conservatism rules; experiments fail. At this time leaders are under pressure and laws are put into effect. It’s a time for staying with tradition and not experimenting with new forms of social behaviors. The past triumphs.
Uranus void in Taurus
Actions are unconventional, radical, or surprising. Not everyone agrees on how things should go, therefore there is discord within groups. Others, who have a specific agenda, persevere to make their point despite fierce opposition. Social conditions are volatile now. The bottom could fall out. It’s a time for experimentation and deviant behaviors. Sudden, unusual, and disruptive conditions occur now that reveal deep inequalities in society and culture.
Neptune void in Pisces
Trends are unclear. Not everything is known, there is much to suspect. The fabric of reality seems to be ripped asunder. Faith in leadership is low. Social and economic conditions are unstable and subject to devaluations. The future looks uncertain and no one is taking any chances. Beliefs about reality are challenged. Some feel overwhelmed, even flooded, literally and figuratively.
Pluto void in Capricorn
There is movement toward displaying outright power. Tolerance and patience are pushed aside in favor of drastic actions. Old wounds are reopened and confrontations forced. Power plays occur. Secret forces make their presence known. Some seek to act on their urges, others attempt to stop them. Deep secrets are revealed. A collective cleansing is in order.

Venus semi-square Chiron. Blocks to intimacy are possible now as we focus on differences rather than similarities in our relationships with others. We might have a hard time learning from one another as a result.
Sun sextile Jupiter. This transit can bring hopefulness, good will, and increased influence into our lives. It’s favorable for marketing, publishing, and advertising, as well as any self-promotion activities. We may be especially sociable, tolerant, and generous under this influence. Confidence comes from a stronger sense of who we are and the principles we represent. Some form of recognition or distinction is possible now. We are more able to grasp the “big picture” which expands our perspective.
Mercury square Chiron. Communications may be strained, and possibly hurtful or perceived as such. Misunderstandings are more likely now. Decisions may also be hard to come by, as we tend to doubt ourselves or the effectiveness of our ability to solve problems. It can be hard to read the intention behind the words used to communicate now.
Sun semi-square Neptune. Our willpower is low as we stray from our goals and temporarily lose focus. It’s difficult to formulate — or stick to — clear goals during this transit. Concentrating on artistic or spiritual pursuits is better than focusing on matters that require straightforward, factual thinking today. It can be difficult knowing where or how to direct our willpower under this influence. It’s also a challenge knowing where we stand with others. Avoid such things as scheduling surgery, important appointments, job interviews, or launches of new projects at this time.
This week: The Sun is in Aquarius; Mercury is in Capricorn; Venus is in Aquarius until the 26th, when it enters Pisces; Mars is in Gemini.
The Sun is in Aquarius from January 20-February 18. During this cycle, we are motivated by our hunger for knowledge, experience, and originality. Innovation is more important to us than convention. We become more aware of what is outdated in our lives, and strive to find new perspectives and new ways to do things. The class distinctions, structure, and order that Capricorn finds appealing now seem to be too rigid. The freedom of the individual becomes far more significant to us. We strive to free ourselves from some of the restrictions, inhibitions, and limitations that now feel constraining rather than safe.
We recognize those things that are obsolete or outdated, and we’re ready to change the world with new ideas and methods. We might often let our heads rule over our hearts during this cycle, preferring an objective, impersonal, and rational approach to life.
Mercury is in Capricorn from December 6-February 11. [This transit is longer than usual due to the upcoming Mercury retrograde cycle, occurring entirely in the sign of Capricorn, from December 29, 2022-January 18, 2023.] When Mercury is in Capricorn, our thinking is methodical and our focus is sober and practical. It is easier to concentrate on the task at hand under this influence. Our conversations may be quite realistic or focused on business/practical matters. Our thought patterns and communication styles become more logical, orderly, and organized.
We are more able to sort out what is relevant and essential. Realism enters the picture, our speech is no-nonsense, and precision becomes important to us. Our survival instincts are strong–we’re interested in what will benefit us in the long term.
We’re not interested in the fluff, preferring to get right to a point or the bottom line. Communication can be somewhat guarded or cautious, and similarly not very floral or expressive. We gravitate to concrete subjects and information that’s logical, useful, and well-organized. We may prefer a methodical approach to studying. Our fantasies may be well-considered and possible, with realistic overtones.
We need to be wary of becoming too rigid in our thinking. We may come across as cold or harsh. For some, there is a fine line between realism and pessimism. At times, we might lack humor, or we’re inclined toward sarcasm when joking. We can be quite stubborn with our ideas and methods.
We can use this period to make solid, realistic plans and get organized. It’s a favorable time to advise, teach, or guide. Generally, we’re more concerned than usual with our reputation or responsibilities. Our dependability can reap rewards. We love to plan ahead and map out our next steps. Changes of schedule can be most disconcerting during this cycle.
Our reactions are sensible, cool, and level-headed while Mercury is in Capricorn.
Venus is in Aquarius from January 2-26. We move towards unconventionality, independence, and freedom as themes in our social relationships under this influence. Aquarius can be just as faithful as Capricorn, but it has to be on its own terms! Experimental relationships are more intriguing now.
Being friends as well as lovers is important to us during this cycle. Allowing one another freedom of expression, and treating others fairly, unselfishly, and impartially, are themes now.
We treat people as equals and take our friendships, causes, and interests seriously. We prize intellectual stimulation and companionship. Income boosts come through innovative ideas. We can remake traditions and approach things unconventionally. Being true to ourselves is of the utmost importance in our relationships. Venus-in-Aquarius is a friendly but aloof period.
Venus is in Pisces from January 26-February 20. Venus in Pisces is tender and affectionate, although hard to reach, as there is a longing for something that is difficult to define and hard to satisfy. Borders and boundaries blur under Venus in Pisces. The shadow side of this position is allowing ourselves to be deceived because we want to believe, as well as evasiveness. We should watch for falling in love with an idealized image of something or someone. It’s also important to watch for avoidant or indirect behavior.
Venus is exalted in Pisces and does well in the sign. It’s devoted, compassionate, exceptionally giving, and capable of sacrifice. We might refer heavily on our intuition with our finances and love life during this cycle. We gravitate to–and appreciate–unusual, tossed aside, poetic, artistic objects, situations, and people. We seek activities that move, inspire, or touch us.
Money may slip through our fingers, or we could turn a blind eye to some of the practical elements of our lives now. However, finances improve if we connect with our otherworldly talents, imagination, desire to heal and serve, or sense of mission.
This transit is not particularly strong for resolve or determination, but it’s good for adaptability and increased understanding or acceptance.
Mars is in Gemini from August 20, 2022-March 25, 2023. [This is much longer than usual due to a Mars retrograde cycle from October 30, 2022-January 12, 2023.]
In Gemini, Mars is versatile and flexible but not especially determined or focused. We should watch for becoming so scattered that we’re ineffective. However, it’s an excellent period for diversifying our interests and understanding the power of our communications.
It’s an excellent time for strategizing and devising useful tactics to achieve our desires and goals. We’re resourceful and clever, and we know how to use words effectively.
Perhaps most notable during this period is our tactical skills. We know how to maneuver things to get our way. We use words to charm and express anger. We’re very talkative, and animatedly so, when passionate and enthusiastic about a topic.
Mars is retrograde from October 30, 2022, to January 12, 2023.
Jupiter is in Aries.
Jupiter was in Aries from May 10 to October 28, 2022 before it retreated into Pisces. This was part one of two, with the second and final part occurring from December 20, 2022, to May 16, 2023. Read more about Jupiter’s transit of Aries.
Saturn transits Aquarius from March 21 to July 1, 2020, and from December 17th, 2020, until March 7, 2023. Read about Saturn’s transit of Aquarius.
Uranus is in Taurus.
Uranus transits Taurus from May 15, 2018, to November 6, 2018, and then from March 6th, 2019, until 2025/6. We approach money and personal possessions in new ways and learn to free ourselves from certain material constraints. Innovative ways to make ourselves comfortable emerge. We’re less inhibited about expressing sensuality, self-love, body love, and pampering. Above all, we’re challenging what we previously valued during this cycle.
There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values. Income might come from non-traditional sources or ventures. In general, we’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money, are likely. Our income and the energy we put into making money can be variable.
Romance & Relationships
Venus is in Aquarius from January 2-26. While Venus was in Capricorn, we valued enduring connections, reliability, and faithfulness. We took expressing our feelings seriously, and we also took our sweet time warming up to others! Generally, we kept our “cool” in relationships. With Venus now in Aquarius, we still keep our “cool” in relationships, but in a detached and impersonal sort of way. Unconventional set-ups become more appealing.
Bringing the spirit of friendship into romantic relationships is a positive use of Venus in Aquarius energy. Relationships that fairly scream “alternative” appeal to us now. It’s all about being open-minded and somewhat detached with Aquarius energy dominating the love arena. With Venus in Aquarius, it may be better to approach dating casually, with no expectations and no strings. Melodrama and emotionalism are not in favor. We may also find ourselves attracted to–or attracting–people who are not our usual “type.”
Venus is in Pisces from January 26-February 20. Like Aquarius, Pisces love is universal. However, Pisces draws no bounds in love. With Venus in Pisces, we have compassion (and perhaps attraction) for those who are left out, overlooked, or victimized. We are self-sacrificing, and we have a hard time setting up borders. The walls go down, we have a hard time saying no (especially if our compassion is engaged), but we are also prone to avoiding all that makes us feel uncomfortable.
Wishful thinking is one expression of Venus in Pisces. We can too easily believe what we want to believe. People can be hard to pin down, and love is hard to define under this influence. Pisces never sees the world in black-and-white terms. Rather, Pisces sees all the colors of the rainbow. With the goddess of love in Pisces, our love is all-embracing, we are able to forgive and understand, we are seducible and seductive, and we show compassion to our partners.
Venus in Pisces is tender and affectionate, although hard to reach nevertheless, as there is a longing for something that is hard to define and hard to satisfy. Borders and boundaries blur under Venus in Pisces. The shadow side of this position is allowing ourselves to be deluded, as well as evasiveness.
This week: Early Sunday is a little iffy for conversations. Although Mercury is no longer retrograde at this point, we’re still not great at expressing what’s in our hearts. There can be some missteps or awkward moments socially. As the day advances and into Monday, we’re getting serious about love and/or pleasure. We might be solidifying a relationship or making a commitment. While there can be some realities and limitations to face in our relationships, this helps us grow and improve. We appreciate reliability and familiarity.
Venus, the Goddess of Love: Highlights in the Coming Week:
Venus in Aquarius A love for the unusual, a distaste for stodgy old rules and conventions, a feeling that you’re above the petty bourgeois stuff and nonsense: that’s what a new cycle brings into your life now. (“I love humanity; it’s people I can’t stand!”) Unconventional romantic and social connections are likely at a time like this.
Venus in Pisces A martyr complex, a love for the underdog, a search for your soul mate: such are the experiences associated with the new cycle you’re now just beginning. A yen for soul-stirring romance, a weakness for the weak, and a tendency to idealize people and relationships … very aesthetic, very other-worldly.
Venus contra-parallel Uranus January 19. Questions of freedom, change, specialness, and experimentation are raised in our relationships.
Venus semi-square Mercury January 21-22. Communications between lovers are superficial and unsatisfying, and perhaps awkward. Superficiality in romantic expression may exist now.
Venus conjunct Saturn January 22. Affections stabilize and mature. Relationships are stabilized and steady, although feelings are expressed reservedly, formally, or sparingly. An air of formality is brought to personal and social relationships. A new sense of realism in existing partnerships comes now. A sense of duty may lead us to sacrifice a personal pleasure for a cause or for a loved one; thus we may have to abstain from personal gratification for the time being. Problems in personal relationships that have been swept under the carpet may surface now, and we are ready to face them. Dissatisfaction with loved ones becomes more glaring. Renewed ties to old friends or lovers are possible, or a new sense of responsibility in existing relationships.
Venus parallel Saturn January 22-23. We may express our affection sparingly, but also responsibly and in practical ways. Relationships begun under this influence often feel burdensome over time, but they may last longer than most.
Venus semi-square Chiron January 24. Love cannot be forced. This is not a commitment-friendly transit, as we may feel alienated for no apparent reason and unwilling to give of ourselves.
Venus sextile North Node February 2. There is a stronger desire to connect to and belong with others at this time. We are more obliging and sociable.

First Quarter Moon
The FIRST QUARTER MOON occurs on Saturday, January 28th, 2023, at 10:19 AM EST.
The First Quarter Moon occurs on Saturday morning, when the Sun in Aquarius forms a square with the Moon in Taurus. There is a crisis theme surrounding any quarter Moon phase, as we feel compelled to take action. Shortly after, we are made aware of how our actions affect those close to us, perhaps through trial and error.
Whatever project or initiative we began around the New Moon is now off the ground, and it may face its first obstacles. This can be a time of stress, clashing, and discord, but also of high energy, motivation, and growth.
First Quarter Moon Chart: January 28, 2023
Void-of-course Moon on Monday, January 23rd, from 5:21 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Venus), until the Moon enters Pisces at 12:37 PM EST.
VOC Moon on Wednesday, January 25th, from 11:12 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Pluto), until the Moon enters Aries at 1:49 PM EST.
VOC Moon on Friday, January 27th, from 4:02 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Pluto), until the Moon enters Taurus at 6:43 PM EST.

Jan 28, 2023, 10:19 AM, Sun Square Moon (First Quarter Moon)
Feb 5, 2023, 1:28 PM, Sun Opposition Moon (Full Moon)

When the Moon is in Capricorn
We become aware of the need for structure and planning ahead. We also instinctively are aware of the limitations of time. We are motivated by a desire for success. Achievement and manifestation are most important to us now. We are resourceful and don't want to waste time, energy, or resources. This can be a very sober influence--even a depressing one. However, it can also be a productive time when we look reality in the eye.
The Moon in Capricorn generally favors the following activities: Long-term activities that yield slow but steady results, practical undertakings, career issues, making a business plan, practical investments.
When the Moon is in Aquarius
Attraction to all that is new and unusual, and an instinctive need for improvement, characterize the Moon in Aquarius. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional, and interactions are more impersonal than personal, under this influence. This is a time that promotes social gatherings, dealing with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas, and progressive changes. We are open to new methods of doing things and we have our eye on the future. It can be hard to stick to schedules now, as personal freedom is most important to us.
The Moon in Aquarius generally favors the following activities: Unusual or radical undertakings, social pursuits, group projects, trying something new, joining a group.
Capricorn in Astrology
Capricorn Period: December 22 - January 19
Capricorn Mode: Cardinal
Capricorn Element: Earth
Ruling Planet of Capricorn: Saturn
House Ruled by Capricorn: Tenth
Capricorn Polarity: Negative
Most Compatible Zodiac Signs: Virgo, Taurus, Scorpio, Pisces
Least Compatible Zodiac Signs: Aries, Libra, Gemini, Leo
Opposite Zodiac Sign: Cancer
Capricorn people are ambitious and practical, and are likely to have an excellent sense of social responsibility. They also tend to be conscious of social mores, perhaps to the point of over-concern. Their natural caution allows them to advance slowly and steadily to the top. Capricorn represents the accomplishments of the material and the quest for prestige, honor and success in public achievement. It is also possible that the driving force behind their ambition partially lies in deep-rooted feelings of insecurity.
Capricorns put themselves under enormous pressure to perform, and can feel personally responsible for those around them. They may have suffered from a restrictive early environment, and their aloofness may serve to protect them from dealing with a fear of intimacy, or low self-esteem. Capricorns exemplify the values of hard work and accomplishment, and service to the goals of humanity. Their redemption comes when they allow the spiritual joy that they feel inside to fully express itself in graceful acts of loving-kindness.
The element related to Capricorn is Earth.
The Earth element is feminine or yin, in-taking and receptive. It corresponds to the Jungian typology of Sensation. The Earth energy is grounded and heavy, responding to the gravity of physical circumstances and limitations. Earth people are in touch with their bodies and the pleasures of the physical world around them. They are givers of form and structure. They endure. They are self-sufficient in a way that the lighter Fire and Air elements are not.
The mode of Capricorn is Cardinal.
Cardinal signs are outgoing, creative rather than passive, representing self-starters who make their will power known.
The ruling planet of Capricorn is Saturn.
Saturn is the planet of limitation and contraction, and the trials of life experience. This includes discipline, punctuality, and the conservation of material resources. Saturn rules Capricorn and is exalted in Libra, and is limited and material, versus unlimited faith (as represented by Jupiter). It indicates areas where the personality will be restricted by fears and lack of confidence, and also areas which are important to be worked on in this lifetime.
Aquarius in Astrology
Aquarius Period: January 20 - February 18
Aquarius Mode: Fixed
Aquarius Element: Air
Ruling Planets of Aquarius: Uranus and Saturn
House Ruled by Aquarius: Eleventh
Aquarius Polarity: Positive
Most Compatible Zodiac Signs: Libra, Gemini, Sagittarius, Aries
Least Compatible Zodiac Signs: Taurus, Scorpio, Cancer, Virgo
Opposite Zodiac Sign: Leo
Aquarians have a rebellious nature, and are eccentric, spontaneous and original. They are forward thinking and detached, and can seem conservative though they really are not very much so. They are scientifically minded and logical, and confident in manner.
Aquarians are likely to be years ahead of their time in the way they think. They can also appear to be more involved with work than with other people, although they truly value social contact.
Aquarians are intuitive, imaginative and inventive, and inclined to take chances, especially in the service of their goals. They can be quite noble in their deepest nature, but also may come across as critical and demanding. Their highest purpose is found in aligning themselves with the advancement of social and humanitarian ideals.
The element related to Aquarius is Air.
The Air element is the masculine or yang energy representing the breath or prana - the realm of ideas and archetypal associations that link the physical and non-physical world together. It corresponds to the Jungian typology of Thinking. All forms of relationship and thought fall within its purview. Air people tend to live in their heads, being logical and scientific, as well as curious about what is around them and detached in their outlook. They dream the world into being with their future-oriented conceptions. They choose all parties to a dispute rather than taking sides, and thus provide the social linkage that can join disparate groups to each other.
The mode of Aquarius is Fixed.
Fixed signs are in-taking rather than outgoing, receptive rather than originating. People with many Fixed signs tend to be stubborn and difficult to sway from their intended course of action.
The ruling planets of Aquarius are Uranus and Saturn.
Uranus is the planet of freedom and revolutionary vision, the urge for change and the ability to visualize new possibilities. Uranus rules Aquarius, and is exalted in Scorpio. It is also associated with mental studies, electricity and astrology. Its position indicates the arena of originality and freedom from conventional thinking in your life.
Saturn is the planet of limitation and contraction, and the trials of life experience. This includes disciplive, punctuality, and the conservation of material resources. Saturn rules Capricorn and is exalted in Libra, and is limited and material, versus unlimited faith (as represented by Jupiter). It indicates areas where the personality will be restricted by fears and lack of confidence, and also areas which are important to be worked on in this lifetime.
Mercury in Capricorn Figuring out how to organize projects and people is apt to become a topic of special interest – and a challenge – at a time like this. Opinions are not enough for you now: they must be backed by authority or evidence, and above all they must have practical worth and application. A period of intense study and thought.
Venus in Capricorn Marry for money and then learn to love ’em: that’s what your heart tells you now, as a new cycle gets underway in your life. Does that sound cynical? Maybe so – but it does reflect the yearning you feel for security and stability now, and it suggests the kind of compromises you may be willing to make to accomplish these objectives.
Venus in Aquarius A love for the unusual, a distaste for stodgy old rules and conventions, a feeling that you’re above the petty bourgeois stuff and nonsense: that’s what a new cycle brings into your life now. (“I love humanity; it’s people I can’t stand!”) Unconventional romantic and social connections are likely at a time like this.
Mars in Gemini Learning, communicating, the exchange of ideas: these are the experiences you crave as a means to make your mark now, as a new phase begins in your life. You’re a person with something to say, and you realize that others have information that is essential to your goals. A time of much mental energy and initiative … perhaps with an element of conflict tossed in for good measure.
Jupiter in Aries Faith in yourself and your future is emphasized as you begin this new cycle. A feeling that anything is possible leads to new ventures, a clean break from the past. At its best, this is a very positive and optimistic new cycle in your life, but at times, overconfidence can border on foolhardy bravery. Don’t burn your bridges behind you!
Saturn in Aquarius Ideals are in for a period of testing, as a new phase begins in your life. What are principles worth, unless they are put into practice? That’s an important question for you now. This could mean you may be disappointed by causes you believe in – but if you abandon your principles, you lose.
Uranus in Taurus Practicality and ingenuity combine as powerful drives in your life now that you have begun a new cycle. Taking innovative concepts and making them real and practical is your strong suit; getting stuck in the mud is to be avoided at all costs. Financial savvy, inventiveness, worldly genius.
Neptune in Pisces Things spiritual and psychic take the driver’s seat of your imagination as you begin a new cycle. The fine arts and all manner of fantasies assume a larger-than-life importance. Surrendering to fate, karma, and other powers greater than merely mortal may be seen as the ultimate liberation. If all is Maya (illusion), what is the reality that gives rise to the world of appearances?
Pluto in Capricorn As this new phase dawns for you, the pursuit of social/political power and status has a way of seeming necessary and inevitable – and let nothing stand in its way. It starts out small but has bigger consequences than you’d think. Ambition, responsibility, a place for everyone, and everyone in their place…
ORIGINE DU MOIS DE JANVIER
Le mois de janvier, premier mois du calendrier, compte 31 jours. Le mot janvier provient du latin ianuarius dérivé du terme ianua qui signifie porte, et qui est un hommage au dieu romain de la porte Janus. En moyenne, Janvier est le mois le froid dans l'hémisphère nord et le plus chaud dans l'hémisphère sud.

The Moon spends the day in Leo, and we're cheerful and open-hearted. With retrograde Mercury trine Uranus today, creative ideas come readily. It can be a time to return to a recent plan or problem for further thought or insight. Conversations and musings can be unique, leading to new ideas and perspectives. We might seek out topics, news, and discussions that lift us above minor problems and free our thinking today.
As it orbits the Sun, Venus shows phases like the Moon. When it is closest to the Earth, passing between us and the Sun, Venus appears almost entirely unilluminated. When it passes around the far side of the Sun, its disk appears almost completely illuminated. When it is prominent in the morning or evening sky, Venus is around half phase.

LE STYLE DE NOTRE CALENDRIER
Notre calendrier actuel est le calendrier grégorien, il utilise l’ère de l’Incarnation et le style de la Circoncision (ou style du premier janvier).
L’ère de l’incarnation (AD – Anno Domini), basée sur l’année hypothétique de la naissance du Christ, a été introduite en 532 par le moine scythe Denys le Petit (v. 500 – 545) dans son comput des tables pascales. Denys le Petit fixe la naissance du Christ au 25 décembre 753 de la fondation de Rome (AUC – Ab Urbe condita). Par la suite, le début de l’ère sera ramené au premier janvier 754 AUC, pour la rendre compatible avec le décompte des millésimes. L’usage de cette pratique s’est imposé lentement au cours des siècles, d’abord dans le monde anglo-saxon, où les actes les plus anciens remontent à la fin du VIIe siècle. Il sera popularisé par les écrits de Bède le Vénérable, notamment dans son ouvrage De Ratione Temporum (725). En France, son usage dans les actes royaux n’apparaît qu’au cours du IXe siècle (diplôme de Pépin II d’Aquitaine, 839).
La date de changement de millésime porte le nom de style du calendrier. Au cours des siècles passés, plusieurs styles furent en usage, parfois simultanément !
On distingue les styles suivants :
- Le style du 1er mars, à Rome avant la réforme du calendrier par César, chez les Mérovingiens au VIe-VIIe siècle.
- Le style du printemps (21-22 mars), en Russie depuis le XIe siècle jusqu’en 1725.
- Le style de l’Annonciation, le 25 mars, en Angleterre jusqu’en 1752.
- Le style de la Résurrection (nuit de Pâques) : l’année avait une longueur variable de 330 à 400 jours, avec parfois deux mois d’avril ! En France, sous Louis VI, puis au XIIe-XIIIe siècle.
- Le style de l’Ascension, à Alexandrie.
- Le style Grec, le 1er septembre.
- Le style Républicain, le jour de l’équinoxe d’automne à Paris dans le calendrier Républicain.
- Le style de la Saint Martin, le 11 novembre.
- Le style de la Nativité, le 25 décembre, sous Charlemagne et jusqu’au XIe siècle, en Bourgogne jusqu’au XIIIe siècle.
- Le style du solstice d’hiver, dans le calendrier lunaire gaulois.
- Le style du premier janvier.
On lit souvent que l’usage en France du style du premier janvier, ou style de la Circoncision, date du XVIe siècle, suite à l’édit de Roussillon (article 39 et dernier) promulgué par Charles IX le 9 août 1564. En réalité, selon Alexandre Le Noble, ce serait l’édit de Paris de janvier 1563 qui a promulgué cet usage, l’article 39 de l’édit de Roussillon ne faisant que reprendre l’édit de Paris.
Cette réforme ne s’appliqua que progressivement, au fur et à mesure que les parlements régionaux l’entérinèrent. Ainsi, le parlement de Paris et la Chancellerie ne l’appliquèrent qu’en 1567.
En Angleterre, le style du premier janvier fut adopté en même temps que le calendrier grégorien, en 1752, suite à la réforme proposée par Lord Chesterfield (Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4e comte de Chesterfield).
On trouvera en lien un calendrier pour l’année 2023. Ce calendrier donne, pour chaque jour de l’année 2022, les instants des levers et des couchers du centre du Soleil et du centre de la Lune en Temps légal français. Les calculs sont faits pour la latitude et la longitude de l’observatoire de Paris, pour un horizon plat, et la réfraction horizontale est prise égale à 36,6′.
On donne également les différentes phases de la Lune et les dates des équinoxes et des solstices. On fournit au verso de chaque page les phénomènes astronomiques du mois, les instants sont donnés en Temps légal français. Puis, dans les dernières pages, on fournit les dates des fêtes légales et religieuses dans différents calendriers ainsi que les concordances entre ces calendriers.
CALENDRIER CHINOIS TRADITIONNEL :NOUVEL AN LE 22 JANVIER 2023
Cette année, l’année lunaire chinoise (年 nián) commence le dimanche 22 janvier 2023 et se termine le vendredi 9 février 2024.
Cette année lunaire est une année embolismique (閏年) de 13 mois lunaires. C’est une année dite « double printemps » (shuāng chūn : 雙春 [双春]), car elle contient deux fois le jié qì : lìchūn 立春, début du printemps. C’est une année 癸卯 (guǐ mǎo) qui correspond à la branche terrestre 卯 (mǎo) associée au signe du Lapin 兔 (tù) et au tronc céleste 癸 (guǐ) associé à l’élément Eau 水 (shuǐ).
L’année solaire (歲岁 suì) est une année abondante de douze mois lunaires. Elle commence au solstice d’hiver (冬至 dōng zhì) du 22 décembre 2022 et se termine le 21 décembre 2023, veille du solstice d’hiver suivant (冬至 dōng zhì).
PASSAGE DE LA TERRE AU PÉRIHÉLIE EN 2023
En 2023 la Terre passera au périhélie le mercredi 4 janvier à 16 h 17 min 28 s UTC (17 h 17 min 28 s en Temps légal français). La distance du centre de la Terre au centre du Soleil sera alors de 147 098 924,694 km et le diamètre apparent géocentrique du Soleil sera de 32′ 31,87″.
Suite à la seconde loi de Kepler (loi des aires), la vitesse angulaire de la Terre est maximale lorsqu’elle passe au périhélie, c’est pourquoi l’hiver est actuellement la saison la plus courte dans l’hémisphère nord.
Voici les dates et les durées des saisons de l’hémisphère nord pour l’année 2023 (la différente TT − UTC est prise égale à 69,184 s).
lundi 20/03/2023 à 21 h 24 min 28 s
Équinoxe de printemps, durée de l’hiver : 88 jours 23 h 36 min 13,50 s.
mercredi 21/06/2023 à 14 h 57 min 51 s UTC
solstice d’été, durée du printemps : 92 jours 17 h 33 min 23,24 s.
samedi 23/09/2023 à 06 h 50 min 01 s UTC
équinoxe d’automne, durée de l’été : 93 jours 15 h 52 min 9,81 s.
vendredi 22/12/2023 à 03 h 27 min 23 s UTC
solstice d’hiver, durée de l’automne : 89 jours 20 h 37 min 22,30 s.
Sous l’effet des perturbations planétaires, le périhélie avance dans le sens direct d’environ 11,612 35″ par année julienne. L’axe des apsides fait donc un tour en environ 111 915 années juliennes. Comme la droite des équinoxes tourne d’environ 50,387 92″ par an dans le sens rétrograde, les deux axes sont confondus toutes les 20 903 années juliennes, cette période porte le nom de précession climatique. En effet, tous les 10 451,5 ans (demi-période de la précession climatique), l’aphélie passe du solstice l’été au solstice d’hiver. Or, même si la distance Terre-Soleil n’est pas le facteur prédominant dans la nature des saisons, la combinaison du passage de la Terre à l’aphélie en hiver donne des hivers plus rudes.
Actuellement, la direction du périhélie se rapproche de l’équinoxe de printemps, qu’elle atteindra le 24 juin 6430. À partir de cette année, l’hiver ne sera plus la saison la plus courte dans l’hémisphère nord, mais ce sera progressivement le printemps.
Le graphique ci-dessus donne l’évolution de la durée des saisons sur une période de 6 000 ans, allant de l’an − 3000 à l’an 3000. On remarque qu’en − 330 (331 av. J.-C.), à l’époque de Callippe de Cyzique (vers 370 av. J.-C. – vers 310 av. J.-C.), l’hiver n’était pas la saison la plus courte, c’était l’automne. Sur cette période de 6 000 ans, les durées de l’été et de l’hiver ont été égales en − 1404, l’automne a eu une durée minimale de 88,37 jours en − 1641 et le printemps a eu une durée maximale de 94,31 jours en − 1604.

La France va sonder la pollution aux granulés microplastiques sur les plages de l'Atlantique
27 janvier 2023
Les nurdles sont minuscules et toxiques
Brest (France) (AFP) - Les procureurs français ont déclaré vendredi qu'ils allaient enquêter sur l'apparition de grandes quantités de minuscules granulés de plastique toxiques le long de la côte atlantique qui mettent en danger la vie marine et la chaîne alimentaire humaine.
L'enquête pénale fera suite à plusieurs plaintes judiciaires concernant l'invasion de plombs déposées par les autorités locales et le gouvernement central à Paris, a déclaré à l'AFP Camille Miansoni, procureur en chef de la ville de Brest.
Les granulés microscopiques, appelés nurdles, sont les éléments constitutifs de la majeure partie de la production mondiale de plastique, des pare-chocs de voiture aux saladiers.
Ils sont généralement emballés dans des sacs de 25 kilogrammes (55 livres) pour le transport, chacun contenant environ un million de nurdles, parfois appelés «larmes de sirènes».
Mais ils peuvent facilement se déverser dans l'océan lorsqu'un cargo coule ou perd un conteneur. Les écologistes soupçonnent également que les usines les déversent parfois à la mer.
Les poissons et les oiseaux les confondent souvent avec de la nourriture et, une fois ingérés, les minuscules granules peuvent se retrouver dans l'alimentation des humains.
Des experts ont déclaré à l'AFP que les nurdles trouvés le long des côtes bretonnes pourraient provenir d'un conteneur de l'industrie du plastique tombé à la mer.
« Nous ne pouvons pas exclure une source unique pour les granulés industriels », a déclaré Nicolas Tamic de l'organisme de recherche sur la pollution CEDRE à Brest.
Mardi, le gouvernement français a déposé une plainte légale contre des inconnus et a appelé à une recherche internationale de tout conteneur qui aurait pu être perdu en mer.
Des dizaines de bénévoles recherchent de minuscules perles en plastique
Les autorités locales ont emboîté le pas, et la branche délinquance environnementale du parquet de Brest va mener l'enquête.
Le week-end dernier, une centaine de personnes ont participé à une campagne de nettoyage sur une plage infestée de microplastiques à Pornic en Bretagne pour collecter des pellets et attirer l'attention sur le problème.
"Nous pensons qu'ils proviennent d'un conteneur qui était peut-être là depuis un certain temps et qui s'est ouvert à cause des récentes tempêtes", a déclaré Lionel Cheylus, porte-parole de l'ONG Surfrider Foundation.
« Notre action est symbolique. Ce n'est pas comme si nous allions ramasser un conteneur entier », a déclaré Annick, une retraitée, en remplissant son pot de yaourt de nurdles.
Les politiciens français ont pris note. Joël Guerriau, un sénateur de la région, a réclamé une « désignation internationale claire » des pellets comme étant nocifs.
Le ministre de la Transition écologique, Christophe Bechu, a qualifié les nurdles de "cauchemar environnemental", affirmant à l'AFP que le gouvernement soutiendrait les associations luttant contre la pollution aux granulés.
L'ingestion de plastique est nocive pour la santé humaine mais les nurdles, en plus, attirent à leur surface les contaminants chimiques présents dans la mer, les rendant encore plus toxiques.
Mesurant moins de cinq millimètres (0,2 pouce), ils ne sont pas toujours facilement visibles, sauf lorsqu'ils s'échouent en quantités inhabituellement énormes, comme c'est le cas depuis fin novembre le long des côtes du nord-ouest de la France.

Phew! Un astéroïde de la taille d'un camion rate la Terre
27 janvier 2023
Graphique montrant la trajectoire prévue de l'astéroïde 2023 BU, qui passera près de la Terre, l'une des approches les plus proches de notre planète jamais enregistrée, à 16h27 (PST) jeudi (00h27 GMT vendredi), selon la NASA.
Los Angeles (AFP) - Bruce Willis : vous pouvez vous retirer.
Un astéroïde de la taille d'un camion qui a soudainement surgi de l'obscurité il y a quelques jours – avec la Terre en ligne de mire – a navigué sans danger devant nous jeudi, ont déclaré des scientifiques de l'espace.
Malgré ce que nous avons vu dans des films comme "Armageddon", aucune mission mondiale pour le faire exploser ou le faire dévier de sa trajectoire avec des armes nucléaires n'était nécessaire.
Au lieu de cela, l'astéroïde 2023 BU est passé en sifflant sans incident et est revenu dans l'obscurité de l'espace.
Phew.
Le rocher, qui a été repéré pour la première fois samedi par un astronome amateur en Crimée, s'est approché le plus près de la pointe sud de l'Amérique du Sud vers 0029 GMT vendredi, selon des scientifiques qui le suivaient.
À son point le plus proche, l'astéroïde se trouvait à seulement 2 200 milles (3 600 kilomètres) de la surface de la Terre, soit à peine le quart de la hauteur de nombreux satellites géostationnaires qui font fonctionner nos téléphones et nos systèmes de navigation automobile.
L'astronome amateur Gennadiy Borisov, qui avait déjà repéré une comète interstellaire en 2019, a sonné l'alarme au cours du week-end, alertant d'autres observateurs de l'espace sur le corps céleste jusque-là inconnu.
Les scientifiques du monde entier se sont précipités pour calculer où il se dirigeait - et si nous devions commencer à élaborer des plans d'évacuation de dernière minute.
Mais les experts utilisant le système d'évaluation des risques d'impact Scout de la NASA ont rapidement déterminé que le visiteur extraterrestre venait en paix.
"Scout a rapidement exclu 2023 BU comme impacteur, mais malgré les très rares observations, il a néanmoins pu prédire que l'astéroïde ferait une approche extraordinairement proche de la Terre", a déclaré Davide Farnocchia de la NASA, qui a aidé à développer Scout.
"En fait, il s'agit de l'une des approches les plus proches d'un objet géocroiseur connu jamais enregistrée."
Si les calculs avaient été erronés, cependant, l'humanité aurait probablement été encore bien, disent les scientifiques.
Mesurant seulement 3,5 à 8,5 mètres (11 à 28 pieds) de diamètre, l'astéroïde 2023 BU est un peu petit pour causer trop de dégâts et aurait en grande partie brûlé en traversant l'atmosphère.
Les quelques météorites qui ont atteint le sol auraient été petites, pas les monstres destructeurs de villes et générateurs de tsunamis de "Deep Impact".
L'appel rapproché laissera un impact plus durable sur l'astéroïde lui-même, ont déclaré les calculateurs de la NASA.
La gravité terrestre affectera l'orbite de l'objet, allongeant le temps nécessaire à 2023 BU pour faire le tour du Soleil, de 359 jours à 425 jours plus tranquilles.
