Friday, Janaury 1st - We begin the new calendar year with an immediate Moon/Mercury trine right after midnight, which boosts conversation skills. Ideas sharpen and hone as connections between individuals strengthen. The moon was void of course for a short time, from 12:33am EST until 1:41am EST as it entered Libra. The day is very quiet, which is ideal for recovery or rest. The moon sextiles Venus this morning, bringing in an eye for beauty. It is an excellent time to redecorate your home or renew your appearance in some way. Tonight, Mercury enters Aquarius at 9:28pm EST. This will be short lived, seeing as Mercury turns retrograde on Tuesday and will shift back into Capricorn on Friday. This week with Mercury in Aquarius will see ideas growing grander. It is okay to dream big this week, as others are there to assist. Logic and innovation are favored over emotions in the coming several days. You may have an easier time reaching others through demonstration rather than playing on their sympathies. The moon squares the Sun tonight, which could make some feel temperamental. Going to bed early is favored.
Saturday, January 2nd - The Libra moon sextiles Saturn and squares Pluto this morning, which is ideal for focus-based activities. Multi-tasking may be difficult unless you have partners who can assist. The moon/Uranus opposition later in the morning could create some unexpected scenarios or snags in plans, so it will be important to remain open and keep thinking on your feet. The moon is void of course at 11:23am EST, where it will stay for the rest of the day. This is an ideal day for planning and getting affairs in order, as opposed to a time for implementing true change and action. Consider backing up technology this weekend to prepare for Mercury retrograde.
Sunday, January 3rd - Mars enters Scorpio this morning at 9:32am EST. Mars in Scorpio can make emotions feel more intense. Competition heats up and ambitions are boosted. This is an all-or-nothing place for Mars, and so you may notice that theme playing out over the next few weeks. Some may have a "my way or the highway" type of attitude. If you can channel this type of drive into activities, it is quite possible to accomplish tasks or goals that seemed out of reach until now. The moon is void of course today until 2:36pm EST, as it enters Scorpio. The moon conjuncts Mars and squares Mercury this evening, bringing in emotional intensity (particularly for Scorpio, Pisces and Cancer). Some may feel a little possessive of those they care about.
Monday, January 4th - The moon trines Neptune this morning, a dreamy aspect that can bring lucidity to dreams, heighten intuition and creative inspiration. The only downside is a slow start to the day. Some may have heads in the clouds, which can make any type of material world issues rather difficult to focus on. Tonight the moon sextiles the Sun and Pluto, which is excellent for connection with others and teamwork of all types. Leadership roles are gravitated to naturally. It is a good evening for revealing truths in relationships. Consider discussing important subjects today or tonight, since Mercury retrograde will begin to lessen the windows for clear communication over the coming weeks.
Tuesday, January 5th - Today is quite a cosmic whirlwind! This morning, the moon trines Chiron and Mercury and Mars meet in square at 6:44am EST. Some may have difficulty expressing emotions, but feel the need to express something anyway. What comes out could feel a bit random, but actually has emotional truth if you are willing to look a little deeper. Mercury begins retrograde motion at 8:06am EST. This retrograde period lasts about three weeks and could create issues with communication in career or in our place in society. Depending on which house Mercury is transiting in your natal chart, you can see which part of your life this will play out the most. Venus and Neptune are in square this morning at 9:32am EST, which could result in 'writer's block' or a lack of inspiration for some. Seeing eye to eye with others could also be a challenge. The moon sextiles Jupiter and the North Node before moving void of course at 12:47pm EST. Virgo and Scorpio may receive good news, or feel a bit more benevolent. Tonight the Sun conjuncts Pluto, which helps certain matters that have been hidden to be brought to the surface. If you ask the right questions tonight, important information is revealed.
Wednesday, January 6th - The moon comes out of its void at 1:56am EST and enters Sagittarius. The heaviness of yesterday is lifted a bit. There is a brief reprieve from communication issues in the form of a moon/Mercury sextile. It is an excellent day for dealing with issues with others head on. The moon squares Neptune and conjuncts Venus and Saturn over the course of the afternoon and evening. Things feel more realistic and possible, particularly projects that are still in the planning stage. It is a good time to work on group dynamics or tackle something with the help of another person.
Thursday, January 7th - The Sun squares Uranus at 7:21 this morning. Ideas are flowing, but it may seem as though there is no way to implement them into your life. Some (particularly Capricorn and Aries) make sudden choices that feel completely out of left field. A lot of these decisions will be reversed within a couple of weeks. The moon trines Uranus, meaning all of these spontaneous choices will seem to make sense to those making them (even if it doesn't appear that way to others). The moon squares Jupiter and the North Node before moving void of course tonight at 9:44pm EST. Frustrations come from feeling cornered or unable to shift certain situations. This feeling is illusory and temporary. Jupiter moves retrograde at 11:41pm EST. The feeling of being unable to shift is centered around this Jupiter retrograde period, which will last through May. A lot of these issues will be eased at the end of January, as Mercury's retrograde ends. Jupiter and Mercury in retrograde together can result in simple issues of missed signals, or, on the other end of the spectrum, a feeling of uncertainty or alienation. This can be alleviated by slowing things down over the next three weeks. Rushing into action can make this period more uncomfortable seeming.
The void tonight keeps things on the quieter side, providing a good evening for rest or revitalizing the spirit.
