Friday, January 8th - Shortly after midnight, the Sagittarius moon squares the North Node, causing some discomfort when it comes to permanent plans or routine. This can apply to those who are wishing for more permanence as well as those rejecting it. The Sun sextiles Chiron this morning at 9:14am EST. Healing energy is favored. It is a good time for giving yourself some extra attention. Listen to your body and inner desires and do something that will help improve your health and mood. The moon comes out of its void at 10:07am and enters Capricorn. We are now gearing up for the New Moon tomorrow evening. It is a time to shed parts of our lives that are no longer working. If you are experiencing frustration or annoyance, try to look deeper to see what can be shifted to create a positive permanent change.
The rest of the day brings a moon/Mars sextile in the afternoon just as Mercury moves back into Capricorn on its continued retrograde motion (2:30pm EST). Energy is heightened and you may find you have more motivation this afternoon than you did earlier in the day. As Mercury continues backward over the next few weeks, you will notice some 'deja vu' type moments as communication issues flare up again. Patience and understanding will help sort these out. The worst thing to do is react emotionally in the moment, since it may push back resolutions even further.
Tonight the moon sextiles Neptune and Venus conjuncts Saturn at around 11pm EST. The Venus/Saturn conjunction will bring about a stronger work ethic and attention to detail and style. This is excellent for those in visual arts or creative fields. Major strides can be taken this week in career, particularly for Sagittarians or those with Midheaven in Sagittarius.
Saturday, January 9th - The Capricorn moon moves into conjunction with Pluto early this morning. This will give many a keen eye for detail and an ability to focus intently on the task at hand. It can sometimes create 'workaholic' tendencies, so be sure to allow ample time for relaxation today as well. Balance is key.
This afternoon, the moon squares Uranus and sextiles Chiron. Some may experience random flare-ups of emotion that are connected to something that occurred in the past. Be gentle with friends and family today. Kindness and compassion will go a long way.
The New Moon (moon conjunct Sun) occurs at 8:30pm EST. Some may be inspired to take new directions in career or schooling. If you are experiencing unhappiness in your job or education, this is a great week to shift a small detail that can end up changing everything for the better. This will take initiative and action on your part, but this could be as small as simply speaking up. Use the rest of the evening to set intentions for the coming weeks, if you wish. The New and Full moon phases are powerful times to visualize as the polarizing energy of the lunar field is amplified.
Sunday, January 10th - The moon trines Jupiter and the North Node early this morning, which makes this a prime day for adventure or shaking up the routine slightly. Conversations could prove enlightening, particularly those you have with strangers (or perhaps you may be inspired by something you overhear someone else say). The moon and Mercury are in conjunction this afternoon. Be direct and honest with others. Evasion or slow responses could elicit annoyance or worry for some.
The moon is void of course from 12:39pm EST until 3:23pm when it enters Aquarius. The Uranian energy of Aquarius will assist with any technology mishaps that have happened as a result of Mercury retrograde. Consider looking into them this evening.
The moon and Mars are square tonight, which could make some a little grouchy or short fused. Tread lightly. As with earlier, the direct approach will make things easier.
Monday, January 11th - The first major aspect of the day occurs at about 1pm EST, when the Aquarius moon sextiles Saturn. New ideas are implemented today. While creativity is flowing, there is also a lot of earth energy that provides balance and focus. The moon sextiles Venus and Uranus over the course of the evening. The energy today is quite electric and exciting. Romance may heat up for some. Mercury retrograde issues aren't as noticeable. The technology help from yesterday carries over into today. Work out any computer kinks and back up files if you haven't done so yet.
The moon moves void of course at 8:09pm EST, where it will stay until tomorrow night.
Tuesday, January 12th - The lengthy void of course period makes this a poor day for permanent decisions or implementing any huge changes. The exception to this rule would be if this is a decision that has been at least 2 weeks in the making. Spontaneous decisions or those formed in the last week or so should be put off until tonight (after 7pm EST) or tomorrow if possible. The energy today could undo any changes or cause regret for those involved. The moon moves into Pisces at 6:53pm EST, and the energy shifts radically and warms up. Imagination and empathy increase.
Venus and Uranus meet in trine tonight, which is great for creativity. Romance is heightened but could also carry some away from reality. You may meet or visit with some unusual people tonight or tomorrow.
Wednesday, January 13th - The moon trines Mars and conjuncts Neptune this morning. Physical energy is heightened, but some may still find themselves daydreaming and unable to get their heads in the game. Exercise or movement of any kind will help with this. The moon squares Saturn this afternoon, which can make it a challenge to complete responsibilities or tasks. The energy of the day is a little all over the place. It may be a better time to brainstorm and come up with future plans rather than actually trying to do the grunt work.
The Sun and Jupiter trine at 5:48pm EST this evening, an adventuresome combination. The thirst for knowledge or information of any kind increases. Some may make travel plans or find themselves experiencing wanderlust. Shake up the routine a little to satisfy this urge.
Venus and Chiron are in square at 7:26pm EST, which can bring up blockages regarding past relationships or any kind of creative insecurities. Some may feel unattractive or as if they cannot compete. Be kind to yourself and others today. Consider getting a healing session, massage or some other indulgence. If you don't have time or can't afford those things, make a cup of hot tea or do something else that brings you peace.
Thursday, January 14th - Today is an extremely busy day in space! We have many aspects throughout the day that will be pulling us in different directions. Stay grounded as best you can. You can do this by focusing on your breathing, going outside, or exercising in some way. Eating lots of natural foods can also help.
The day begins with a moon/Chiron conjunction, followed by a Sun/North Node trine. This will increase ambition and help begin shifting things that have felt stuck over the past month. Change regarding big plans or hopes may begin to seem possible. If you can't feel this yet, you may experience it once Mercury is out of retrograde in a couple of weeks.
The moon squares Venus early this morning, which highlights any relationship issues you may be dealing with. A lot of these will seem more noticeable than usual, but this is a perception issue and may not be rooted in anything real. Stay focused and try not to get sucked into any dramatic happenings.
The Sun conjuncts Mercury at 9:04am EST, which will assist with clear, concise communication. Now is a great time to make your voice heard and break through any Retrograde issues. This is helped by the moon/Mercury sextile that occurs right after.
At about 10am EST, we have a number of aspects that hit all at once: the above mentioned moon/Mercury sextile, a moon/Sun sextile, a moon/Jupiter opposition and a moon/North Node opposition. These all occur simultaneously, making this a morning that may seem a bit strange. A lot of people will get pulled by these aspects and so may seem to be acting oddly or out of character. Again, this is going to be a perception problem. If anyone rattles you, be kind anyway (or avoid the situation). Responding will only create a problem where there isn't actually one.
The moon moves void of course at 11:31am EST. We have two Mercury transits this afternoon, a Mercury/North Node trine and a Mercury/Jupiter trine. These are excellent for those trying to remember information, learn new subjects or read up on anything that interests them. Travel and foreign language study are both amplified today. The Jupiter retrograde energy is broken into a little today, allowing things to feel a bit less out of reach than they might have this past week.
The moon comes out of its void at 9:48pm EST and enters Aries. As I mentioned a few weeks back, anytime the moon enters Aries it has come through a full lunar zodiac cycle and is now back at the beginning. As with the New Moon this past weekend, this is an excellent time to set new intentions and reevaluate the things in your life you feel aren't working, as well as experiencing gratitude and excitement for those that are.
