January 8 - 14

 

Monday, January 8th ~ Mercury enters into a square with Neptune at 8:24pm EST on Monday, January 8th. We can be prone to flights of fancy today. While our imaginations are soaring off into the clouds, it can be difficult to translate these ideas back down to earth. Interactions with others can be a little confusing or misleading. A lot is said through body language and intention today. If words are only making things worse, consider showing others through your actions. People might need more visual aids to keep everything simple and concise. 

Tuesday, January 9th ~ On Tuesday, January 9th, the Sun trines Uranus at 7:07pm, and Mars sextiles Saturn at 9:39pm EST. The transit between the Sun and Uranus introduces some fun and excitement into the day. We throw the plan out the window and improvise our way through. This transit breaks down heavy structures and brings more of an adventurous, rebellious energy to the day. Mars and Saturn's sextile has been building for a couple days and will continue to be felt through the rest of the week. This is a transit that invites us to take action! As Mars is in steady, disciplined Capricorn presently, we want to give extra thought to the choices we make. Capricorn prefers to look before they leap. Make sure there is a sturdy ledge for you to land on as you make your way up the mountain. This transit helps increase willpower, consistency, and can assist with making healthy choices for the physical body.

Thursday, January 11th ~ The New Moon in Capricorn perfects at 6:57am EST on Thursday, January 11th. This New Moon occurs at 20 degrees Capricorn, in the third decan of the sign. This decan is ruled by Mercury, and brings curiosity and a boost of mental energy with it. Clarity enters our thoughts an we are able to retain information better. This is a perfect time to initiate new beginnings related to career or long term goals. If you are unhappy in this area of your life, this New Moon is giving you the opportunity to step into your power and be a boss. Take charge and make the changes. Some cuts might need to be made, and some hard decisions solidified. Reflect on what you want to be remembered for and what you hope your legacy will include. Venus trines Chiron today as well, exact at 9:36am EST. This transit indicates that there are helpful friends along your path that can assist, if you are willing to delegate and ask for it.

Friday, January 12th ~ Mars trines Jupiter at 5:41am EST on Friday, January 12th. This transit has been building over the last couple days and will continue to be felt through the weekend. This is a lucky aspect which aligns us to the concept of inspired action. We can feel excitement and passion building up in us, but if we try to halt the flow of this then we are left feeling stagnant and frustrated. Follow the flow of your passion. Let it spring your muscles into action and lead you where you're meant to go. This transit is quite lucky and benefic, but does require that we take initiative and not wait for things to drop into our laps.

Saturday, January 13th ~ On Saturday, January 13th, Mercury moves into the sign of Capricorn at 9:49pm EST. Mercury was in Capricorn back in December, but retrograded into Sagittarius for a while and now returns to make up some ground. It will be here in this sign until February 5th. Mercury in Capricorn is direct and dry. We are able to focus more singularly, but can find distractions quite annoying. The energy of this transit centers around saying what you mean and not using flowery, metaphor-filled language. Over the next two and a half weeks, be direct, bold, and straight to the point. Some may find they need more time to sit with an idea before they are able to make a decision. Those with natal Mercury in Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, Scorpio, and Pisces enjoy this transit most and are able to communicate well during this time. The other Mercury signs may need to make more adjustments to limit confusion.
