Monday, January 17th ~ We have the moon in Cancer for most of the day, building toward fullness. It trines Neptune at 5:18am EST, casting a dreamy glow over the landscape. Sensitivity and compassion build; it is easy to feel the plight of another. The heart opens and expands. The moon opposes Pluto at 4:07pm EST, bringing a marked desire to overcome conflicts, particularly those having to do with family. The Full Moon in Cancer perfects at 6:48pm EST as the Sun and Moon oppose one another at 27 degrees Capricorn and Cancer, respectively. This acts as a manifestation portal, delivering the first stage of intentions set back on July 9th of last year. The Cancer axis of the macro moon cycle typically pertains to emotional wellness, family, and the home. What desires were you feeling back in July, and what is beginning to bloom now? This unfoldment will continue for the next few months. This full moon takes place in the third decan of Cancer, ruled by Neptune. There is a dreamy energy to it, and much of what it is opening us to is happening on subtle, higher levels that will continue to drop down to us here in the physical plane over time. The moon moves void of course as soon as it reaches fullness; this void lasts until 11:02pm EST when the moon ingresses Leo. A full moon spent in a void state is even more subtle and internal. The moon sextiles the North Node at 11:16pm EST, creating opportunities for growth through self-expression. Finally, asteroid Sappho enters Aries, where it will be until March 10th. Sappho rules over the LGBTQ community as well as close, intimate friendships. In Aries, it is more action oriented and seeks to create new pathways through a pioneering vision. New friendships will likely be forged during this time, and we find ourselves attracted to those with an independent spirit.
Tuesday, January 18th ~ The moon is in Leo all day, increasing the need to express creativity and let our emotions be seen in all their grandeur. Retrograde Mercury sextiles Chiron at 5:04am EST, which causes some to revisit conversations that came up early last week. Uranus stations direct at 10:25am EST at 10 degrees Taurus, after a retrograde period which began on August 19th. The effect of this period brought major shifts and changes to areas of our lives we might have once considered extremely stable. With its motion now resuming in a direct, forward-marching way, there is less looking back and more of a focus on gaining momentum to bring about resounding levels of change. Uranus' transit through the second decan of Taurus, ruled by Mercury, allows for changes in communication which then impacts our security. This can be a very satisfying process should we be open to growth. However, this is far from the biggest news of the day. The Nodes of the moon shift signs at 1:49pm EST, with the North Node entering Taurus and the South Node entering Scorpio. The nodes will be here for the next 18 months and bring a shift in the collective karma of humanity. The North Node in Taurus guides us toward finding peace and grounding. This has a much more rooted feeling than the past year and a half with the North Node in Gemini, which focused primarily on technology and the spread of information. For more information on this Nodal shift, you can listen to our podcast episode on Pisces Rising podcast. The moon opposes Mercury at 3:39pm, trines Chiron at 4:21pm and squares Uranus at 8:11pm EST. This progression of transits plays on drama and allows for healing to take place through allowing ourselves freedom of expression.
Wednesday, January 19th ~ We have the moon in Leo all day, beginning by opposing Saturn at 2:18am EST. We could feel reactive and desire freedom from responsibilities or harsh boundaries. The Sun and nodes are presently at the anaretic degree (29th degree), which creates a strong pull toward action and resolution. The Sun trines the North Node at 4:31pm EST, which allows for great strides toward personal evolution. We may be surprised by our impulses today. The Sun enters Aquarius at 9:39pm EST tonight, ushering in Aquarius season. The fixed air of Aquarius corresponds with the middle of winter in the Northern hemisphere and the middle of summer in the Southern. Aquarian energy is focused on seeing the big picture and theorizing the best way to help as many people as possible. During the next four weeks, it is easier to brainstorm and think outside the realm of the norm. Finally, asteroid Eros enters Pisces today, where it will be until March 5th. Eros rules over sex and lust, as well as the creative drive which is mirrored in these. In Pisces, there is a cosmic overlay to sexual connection which seems to pull souls together in synchronistic ways.
Thursday, January 20th ~ The day starts off with the moon in Leo, trining Mars at 3:15am EST and then moving void of course for just under 6 hours. Oftentimes a void moon can create a period of inaction, but the opposite is true today. We propel ourselves forward, maybe as if on autopilot. The mind is taken out of in the equation in order for action to carry us to the next stage. The moon squares the North Node at 8:23am EST and then ingresses Virgo at 9:02am EST. It is best to flow with your instincts today. Overthinking things slows down progress and creates unnecessary confusion. If you're having trouble quieting the mind, let yourself get lost in a story through a book, movie, show, or podcast, or do some exercise. The moon opposes Jupiter later in the day at 5:58pm EST. We push against restrictions and seek out ways to support our own growth and healing. Some people might overshare during this transit. The evening is quiet and sees us wanting to organize our space, be it the physical place we reside or doing some cleanup of our emotions.
Friday, January 21st ~ Today is pretty simple cosmically, with the Virgo moon trining Uranus at 5:28am and trining Venus at 8:18am EST. This is a pleasant energy, bringing new ideas and the desire to harmonize with those around us. We feel more cooperative and strive to assist others through inspired thought. The rest of the day is free from other transits, giving us space to reset and get in tune with our own unique celestial blueprint. Consider studying your own chart or personal transits tonight.
Saturday, January 22nd ~ The Virgo moon opposes Neptune at 12:43am EST; we may seek out reasons for intuition rather than accepting it and moving with the flow. The moon trines Pluto at 10:52am EST, which adds to this sensation. We may fight our gut instincts for the first half of the day and try to do what we think others want us to do rather than what we really believe is right. The moon squares Mars at 2:45pm EST and then moves void of course for a little over two hours. We might feel energetically depleted; taking a nap or other rest period is a good idea. The moon trines the North Node at 3:47pm EST which brings clarity and helps us realign to our goals. It then enters Libra at 5:02pm EST, ending its void period. We may feel more social and diplomatic at this point. The Aquarian Sun trines the moon at 10:42pm EST, ushering in its Waning Gibbous phase. This is a time of collecting what we have learned over the past moon cycle and beginning to sift through it for added insight. The moon then trines Mercury at 11:47pm EST to complete the day. This helps us to connect with others and communicate in a heartfelt manner.
Sunday, January 23rd ~ We have the moon in Libra all day, lending charm to social interactions and giving us a strong aesthetic eye for design and creation. The Sun and Mercury meet in conjunction at 3 degrees Aquarius at 5:28am EST. This Mercury cazimi absorbs some of the negative effects of Mercury retrograde, with the solar power of the Sun casting away confusion. This cazimi brings in new insights and a fresh approach, allowing for a new door to open at the end of a possibly previously blocked hall. The moon opposes Chiron at 9:25am EST. We may feel like casting away an emotional responsibility in favor of something more enjoyable. The moon squares Venus at 2:21pm and later trines Saturn at 7:25pm EST. We may experience a need to work on projects on our own today; collaborating could feel slow and murky. The Saturnian energy of the evening brings focus and discipline but can make it difficult to stop working and just relax.
