Monday, January 9th ~ The day spins into action with the Leo moon moving in square to Uranus at 4:02am EST. Emotions shift rapidly; it could be challenging to be objective and view a situation without becoming personally attached to it. The moon is in Leo all day, providing a flair for style and artistry. Venus trines Mars at 10:21am EST and we feel this transit throughout the whole day. This is a passionate, sensual transit which unites the heart and body. Energy is more abundant and we seek out ways to move the body in ways which feel good. This transit brings a boost to romance and increases the need for physical affection. The moon opposes Saturn later at 8:52pm EST and then moves void of course until tomorrow, for over 13 hours. Responsibilities could weigh heavy on us tonight and we seek out freedom through procrastination. The void period is ideal for rest and unplugging from the noise of the world.
Tuesday, January 10th ~ Today is a remarkably rare day with absolutely no astrological transits. The moon is void of course until it enters Virgo at 10:15am EST, but this is the only shift happening all day long. It is essentially a blank slate day, meaning it becomes easier to feel your own natal chart's energy and also notice the subtle energetic patterns of your transits. In general it can feel like there is less static noise in the air on these days and we can find more peace of mind if we are seeking it. It could be easier to focus or clear the mind to meditate today. The Virgo moon brings a need to connect to the earth and breathe fresh air.
Wednesday, January 11th ~ It's another full day with the moon in humble, refined Virgo. Here we are drawn to understand our own emotional world and find order in chaos. The moon squares Mars at 2:36am EST which can increase frustration and the need to have things done your own way. Venus squares the Nodes of the moon at 2:50am EST which connects future and past in a bizarre manner. The two seem to sparkle like beams of light at the end of opposing corridors. You may feel frozen in the middle, unsure of which direction to go. Should you turn back to someone from your past, or should you venture forward into the unknown? Clarity comes through opening up and talking it out. Mercury squares Chiron at 3:48am EST which suggests that healing is available the more we can be vulnerable and communicate our process to someone close to us. The moon trines the North Node at 6:53am EST, which brings courage and steadiness in the face of adversity. It then goes on to trine retrograde Mercury at 9:57am and later trine Uranus at 4:17pm EST. These aspects introduce more clarity of thought and the ability to detangle heavy emotions and view them from a bird's eye lens.
Thursday, January 12th ~ The moon enters its Waning Gibbous phase at 6:07am EST and we are out of the Bright Moon period. This is a period of expressing gratitude and reflecting on what we feel is going well in our lives. The moon opposes Neptune at 8:21am EST; escapism is likely and we seek out ways to flee from painful realities. Venus sextiles Chiron at 1:46pm EST, an all-day long transit that suggests we can handle more than we thought ourselves capable if we team up with a loved one. Healing comes through letting someone else help carry our burdens. This is also a useful transit for working through creative block. Mars retrograde finally ends at 3:56pm EST, with the red planet stationing direct at 8 degrees Gemini. The last two and a half months have pushed aggression down under the surface, resulting in more gossip, cattiness and passive means of dealing with conflict. Willpower may have been more fleeting as well. With Mars now direct it is easier to confront problems head on and we can begin by addressing conflicts directly. The energy of Gemini direct is clear, unimpeded communication. The moon goes on to trine Pluto at 6:06pm EST and then move void of course for just under four hours. Confidence increases and we can feel more ready for change. The moon enters Libra at 9:56pm EST. Emotional harmony is the key phrase for the Libra moon.
Friday, January 13th ~ It's a full day with the moon in airy Libra. This is a social time and also an ideal window for collectors to score the missing piece in their beloved array of objects. The moon opposes Jupiter at 3:33am EST and increases restlessness and excitement. Mercury trines the North Node today, exact at 6:07am EST. This is a blessed aspect for writers and speakers, and those who weave words. We may experience a brief relief from Mercury retrograde woes today. If you need to have an important conversation with someone today is the best day until Mercury stations direct on the 18th. The Sun sextiles Neptune at 9:11am EST. Fantasy and imagination rule the day, allowing us to see beyond the five senses into a world of our own envisioning. This transit also softens our hearts and builds compassion for all beings. The moon trines Mars at 1:45pm and squares Mercury at 4:54pm EST; words are crucial today but actions are needed as well. It is not enough to say we will do something, we need to follow through and show our intentions in motion. Finally, the moon opposes Chiron at 9:30am EST. This can bring some self-consciousness; lean into the dreamlike qualities of the Sun/Neptune transit and envision what you would to see. Sometimes acting 'as if' can bring about the change in confidence we need.
Saturday, January 14th ~ We have another full day with the moon in Libra, the sign of the social butterfly. We may seek out more interaction with others. It's an ideal day for parties or gatherings. The moon trines Venus at 12:57am EST and then there are no transits for about seventeen hours. This lunar-Venus contact inspires us creatively and makes us want to soak up all the beautiful things around us. Later, the moon trines Saturn at 7:47pm EST which enhances focus and ambition. This is useful for ticking off something on the to-do list or getting clear about what you want. Venus squares Uranus at 8:21pm EST, and we feel this for much of the day leading up and all the way up to tomorrow morning. This creates surprises in relationships; shifts in regular dynamics are likely today. It can be difficult to stick to a plan today as others are bound to throw a wrench into the works. Creativity builds but ideas can be scattered and a little too abstract or grandiose to pull off. Similarly, we may dream up plans with others that feel much the same in their unrealism. The moon enters its Last Quarter phase at 9:10pm EST which acts as a bolt of lightning and brings a need to better ourselves and accomplish something we've put off.
Sunday, January 15th ~ Today begins with the Libra moon squaring Pluto at 3:39am EST, and then moving void of course for three and a half hours. The square to Pluto can introduce tension with authority, or with those you have authority over. If you are in a position of power, it might be helpful to work together today rather than simply giving instructions or orders. The moon enters Scorpio at 7:08am EST, increasing intuition and the need to uncover hidden information. The veil is quite thin today, with the waning moon in the sign of Scorpio and Jupiter in the late degrees of Pisces. The moon sextiles Mercury at 10:47pm EST which unites emotions and the mind in a way that allows for expanded communication.
