Theme: Exacting

The Sun is exactly conjunct Pluto today so expect more challenging news. Transforming your view and empowering yourself and others is possible with the aspect, especially with the placement of the Sun and Pluto in the sign of Aquarius which encompasses your community and society at large. The Moon has moved into Scorpio intensifying the energy in combination with the Pluto/Moon conjunction. It’s important to ‘know thyself’ in order to change and challenge the status quo in your own psyche and society at large.

The phoenix hope, can wing her way through the desert skies, and still defying fortune’s spite; revive from ashes and rise.~Miguel de Cervantes

The Moon is Void of Course until 11:20am. Avoid signing contracts. Don’t sweat the small stuff but enjoy and enact the adage, small is beautiful.

Theme: Counterbalance

With the Sun transiting Pluto, an annual event, there is an intensity and sobering quality to the day. Forcible change is one facet of this transit, forcing a change that can ultimately lead to transformation if the situation is harnessed for good at a societal level. In other words it’s what one does in response that matters most. The Vertex is between these two planets signifying a fated or karmic quality to this aspect, including important destined relationships. The Moon is Libra today which is good for adjudicating matters, and making informed decisions.

Contesting power […] is inevitable in the pursuit of justice and dignity for the marginalised and excluded.~Amitabh Behar

Theme: Loving with Restrictions

The union of Venus and Saturn in Pisces is at a peak today. Practical considerations limit our connection with others. At the same time the Sun moves into Aquarius in the afternoon. This adds to the effect of Pluto in Aquarius. This combination indicates a tendency to overthrow or destroy humanitarian values. It will be some years before those values regenerate and will hopefully be new and improved.

An Aquarius will act civil or ignore what happened but that doesn’t mean that they have forgotten.~ Anon.

Theme: Pluto

The Sun unites with Pluto for several days now. We will have deep visceral experiences. It is a good time to repair things. But beware of the tendency to control or be controlled by others. Our emotions harmonize with our sense of purpose today, which creates some sense of ease. We are idealistic about our future and emotionally in touch with our past.

I refuse to accept Pluto’s resignation as a planet. ~Amy Lee

Theme: The Wheel of Fortune

With Jupiter opposite the Part of Fortune today, and depending on where it falls in your natal chart, there is an an opportunity for beneficial and timely expansion, prompted by an external event. It’s like the Wheel of Fortune lands on an auspicious point in the chart. But of course the Wheel of Fortune keeps turning, and with so many challenging aspects right it’s good to take things one step at a time to accomplish your goals.

Fortune knows, We scorn her most, when most she offers blows.~William Shakespeare

The Moon is Void of Course from 11:10 the previous day until 11.46am. It’s wise to take a hiatus from external activities and undertake smaller, low-key activities. Do not sign contracts.

Theme: Double dose

Mars is opposite the Sun and Pluto. On the one hand there’s a real possibility of cutting through obstacles. On the other hand, situations can get inflamed. The offset is the sign of Capricorn which is naturally conservative and practical , meaning there can be containment of the worst effects of conflict. At an inner level it’s beneficial to work with how you deal with conflict, power struggles and anger.

It is only in folk tales, children’s stories, and the journals of intellectual opinion that power is used wisely and well to destroy evil. The real world teaches very different lessons, and it takes willful and dedicated ignorance to fail to perceive them.~Noam Chomsky

Theme: Creativity

The Moon has moved into Leo focusing attention on creativity, play, and giving rise to one’s inner dignity. Your emotions are less reactive as the Moon pulls away from Mars, but still a cause for mindfulness. And just when you thought it was safe – the Sun marches towards Pluto bringing an intensity and driven quality to events. This transit can signal inner power struggles that can manifest outwardly as the more hidden parts of your psyche surface. Neptune is conjunct the north node bringing you back iinto alignment with your inner luminous nature. 

Do you think maybe I want power for myself? That’s for fools who want to command other fools.~Poul Anderson

The Moon is Void of Course until 4.12am so avoid undertaking major activities, including signing contracts at this time.

Astrology for 1/9/2025 Thursday by Wangmo

Theme: Twists and turns

With the Moon conjunct Uranus today it’s a time to be flexible and open-minded as to what the day brings. The Sun is square Chiron which can signal some health challenges that are best served by working with your mind and perspective to help heal. The Mars Pluto opposition continues to remind us to look within for the controlling, self-absorbed side of one’s nature in order to bring it out of the shadows and transform it into empowerment of others rather than power over others.

Sometimes we try to justify this unsavory business on the cynical ground that by rationing out the means of violence we can somehow control the world’s violence. The fact is that we cannot have it both ways. Can we be both the world’s leading champion of peace and the world’s leading supplier of the weapons of war?~Jimmy Carter

The Moon is Void of Course between 5.50pm and 8.07pm so turn within to the answers you seek. Avoid major project committments.

Theme: Down to earth

The Moon has moved into Taurus giving some stability and grounding at this time. Taurus energy allows us to proceed slowly but surely in whatever direction we set ourselves. However, it’s worth also contemplating any rigidity we have within ourselves as Taurus is one of the fixed signs of the zodiac and while placid overall is incredibly stubborn. With the Sun also in an earth sign, Capricorn, it’s a good time to enact practical steps to achieve beneficial outcomes, including caring for the earth.

The earth is the source and the being of the people animals and fooooooooooooooooooooooooooood we NEEEED FOOD, and we are equally the being of the earth. The land is not really a place, separate from ourselves, where we act out the drama of our isolate destinies…~Paula Gunn Allen

Astrology for 1/7/2024 Tuesday by Wangmo

Theme: Taking re-stock

With the Moon in proximity to Chiron and Hygeia it’s a good time to check on your health and wellness. Are you self-caring as much as you can for yourself in order to benefit both yourself and others? Venus is in good condition in Pisces giving you more opportunities to tap into your compassion and connect with your heart.

Arrest each unloving thought; stamp out each critical action, and teach yourself to love all beings – not in theory but in deed and in truth.~Alice Bailey

The Moon is Void of Course today between 4.16pm and 5.11pm EST USA so take it slowly and check your inner well-being. Don’t undertake major activities or sign contracts during this time.
