January 29 - February 4

 

Monday, January 29th ~ On Monday, January 29th, Mars enters a trine with Uranus at 6:40pm EST. Mars transits can typically felt for about five days. We noticed the energy of this trine starting on Saturday and felt it growing in intensity until today as the transit peaks, and then it will diminish through the next two days. This is a daring and bold transit that activates our adrenaline and gets us excited to initiate change. We could be restless, fidgety, and feel like our anticipation is growing, even if we don't have anything coming up on our schedule. We want to move beyond the ordinary and experience something exciting. Today and tomorrow are good days for adventures, initiating change, and starting new projects. Mars invites us to act, while Uranus seeks to shake up stagnancy. See where you are driven to expand, and invite in new energy today.

Thursday, February 1st ~ This has been a relatively quiet week with not too much to report. On Thursday, February 1st, we have a lengthy void of course moon from 4:04am until 3:36pm EST. This void takes place in the sign of Virgo, with it ending as the moon shifts into the sign of Libra. Void of course moon periods happen when the moon is done making major aspects with the other planets until it enters a new sign. They are considered pauses from the cosmic energy above, and are often good for rest, quiet time, and self care. However, some people love to work during void periods as there are fewer interruptions! This Virgo void period is wonderful for organizing, refining, and decorating. It's not so great for debates, confrontations, or trying to mediate conflict. Take some time for yourself to introduce more clarity into your mind and living / working space.

Friday, February 2nd ~ On Friday, February 2nd, Mercury enters a sextile with Neptune at 5:54am EST. This is a gentle contact between the two planets that allows for deep, compassionate understanding. While conversing with others, there is a great opportunity to open your heart and really empathize and learn more about their perspective. This transit is also helpful for artists, writers, and creators, as it allows for an easy, channeled approach to letting ideas flow. Our minds become a bit more dreamy and open if we are willing to lean into the gentle current of the Neptunian waters.
