           ˚★MON JAN 22

The Moon in Gemini is opposite Venus and square Neptune early this morning, seeing everyone very much still absorbing the recent major shifts. This can see a sensitive atmosphere with the imagination very much active. Interpersonally, socially and financially, things can feel in flux, as certain patterns are dissolving. There can be some confusion, but there’s also a determination to get a grip as the Moon builds a trine to Saturn. It enters Cancer at 1:51 PM PST, which can see a focus on security and consolidation. Working with what you have and focusing on the basics can help strengthen foundations as things are in the midst of change. This can see enough discipline and endurance to get through the day and end it on a modestly accomplished note. Venus in the anaretic degree of Sagittarius has it’s sights set firmly on new horizons, and will shift into earthy Capricorn tomorrow, seeing a lot of pleasure derived from being focused and committed to a goal.

           ˚★WED JAN 24

The Moon in late Cancer is sesquisquare Saturn, sextile Uranus, and trine Neptune. Patience and perserverence can pay off right now. There can be new possibilities percolating in the background that can be inspiring or exciting. The Moon enters Leo late tonight at 11:37 PM PST, where it climaxes to full tomorrow morning. Tomorrow’s Full Moon opposes the Sun and Pluto, placing emphasis on these recent planetary ingresses. The shifts have been palpable, and these transits can help integrate them more consciously.

           ˚★THURS JAN 25

The Full Moon in Leo culminates at 9:54 AM PST, at 5 degrees Leo, opposite the Sun and Pluto, square Jupiter, and quincunx Saturn. This face of Leo is associated with the 5 of wands in the tarot, a card known for competition, strife, contrast, differences, or a fight for supremacy, triumph or victory. Maintaining or differentiating your voice from the crowd can attract haters and detractors as well as admirers and supporters. This Full Moon highlights changes in structures, habits, motivation, or patterns, as well as a grander vision of what can be possible. Take care not to overcompensate for delays, stalls or frustrations by going too far too quickly, or promising too much but failing to deliver. Identifying what needs to shift, and whittling down competing interests, activities or priorities to a more manageable, simplified level can put things on a track for success. This can see a certain phase or cycle closing out, with new opportunities being made available through a shift in focus and new ideals to aspire towards. Evening time can see a dreamy, sensitive atmosphere that can see a lot to reflect upon with the Moon in tense minor aspect to Neptune. The imagination is highly stimulated. Much is still coming together, and over the coming weeks, workable foundations can be put into place that can bring others more on to the same wavelength.

           ˚★FRI JAN 26

Today can see a feeling of being simultaneously motivated and challenged, with the Moon trine Chiron, morale can be boosted, but a lunar square to Uranus and tense minor aspects to Mercury and Mars can keep people on their toes with a lot to adapt to. There's a need to be sharp, tactical and adaptable. The Moon goes on to sesquisquare Venus which can see social, interpersonal or financial glitches. Venus in trine to Jupiter and sextile to Saturn can see positive gains from being focused, practical and disciplined. Keeping grounded in the body and down to earth can help focus the tensions and electricity into stable and rewarding efforts, as Venus is also in tension with Uranus just now. This can also highlight a need to make progress quickly to stabilize things or maximize time sensitive opportunities, along with shifting social landscapes. New ideas can be circulating, some of which have potential to be rewarding. Slow and stable progress will bring the best results. Uranus stations direct at 11:35 PM PST, seeing the planet of shock, innovation and illumination once again picking up speed, ending a long phase of experimental reevaluation. This can see innovative ideas and visions begin to be put into praxis and take more concrete form, which can have a liberating effect.

           ˚★SAT JAN 27

The morning begins with the Moon in late Leo, and it enters Virgo at 11:11 AM PST. There can be a lot of responsibilities on peoples plates (Moon opposite Saturn), or obstacles or challenges to pleasure can see a slight wet blanket vibe. The lunar trine to both Venus and Jupiter however, can make the best of things, and it can be easy to focus on what’s going well, as many things are. Certain situations may just require a bit of patience, but in spite of certain delays or challenges there can be instances of “right place, right time.” Any temporary blockages are an opportunity to press the reset button or adapt to new routines going forward.

           ˚★SUN JAN 28

This morning can see positive motivation with the Moon trine Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. The Virgo lunation can prompt a need to get more organized or streamlined for the weeks ahead. The Moon goes on to trine Uranus in the afternoon, seeing a need to be flexible and adaptable to incoming shifts to routines. Communications or writing can figure in to the evening hours, or getting plans or schedules in order for the week ahead. Motivation, focus and clarity can build, and there are clear objectives. Next week can get off to a well intentioned start, even if there is a slightly out of sorts energy to grapple with (Moon opposite Neptune on Monday). Things are gearing up towards a lot of beneficial changes.
