Theme: Activity

With the Sun and Moon both in cardinal-activity signs there is impetus to move forward. These placements are an antidote to the challenging retrograde Mars which continues to slow some activities down, causing frustration. As the Moon moves over Chiron expect to feel a reminder of past emotional wounds that, once healed, make you more integrated and whole.

Just remember, you can do anything you set your mind to, but it takes action, perseverance, and facing your fears. ~Gillian Anderson

Theme: Creative and Dreamy

The Sun is united with the asteroid, Pallas Athena, for a couple more days, which enhances our creativity, with a feminine energy. The Moon is united with Neptune, especially in the middle of the day, which increases our sensitivity and empathy to those around us. We are more prone to fantasies now. Finally, the Sun harmonizes with Saturn which promotes getting things done.

All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them. ~Walt Disney

Theme: Finding friends

The Moon is in Aquarius encouraging friendship, community and spontaneity. There is an urge for both freedom and invention today. As the Moon moves over Venus, also in Aquarius, there is joy in group activity. Mars opposite Pluto continues to remind us of the dangers of not addressing the underlying causes of anger an individual and at a global level. The cultivation of patience, deep listening and developing insight can transform this energy.

When anger rises, think of the consequences. ~Confucius

The Moon is Void of Course today between 11.13pm EST USA and 10.21am the next day. Avoid large scale activities, and signing contracts. Focus on finding inner harmony.

Theme: Challenges

With the new year beginning Mars opposite Pluto there are likely to be upheavals as power structures and powerful people are challenged by the collective will. It’s important to work towards developing a peaceful and stable mind to diminish the tension in one’s own sphere. Neptune and Saturn slowly move into Aries in March and May respectively which will enable more clarity in seeing how things really are – and yet create challenges in balancing our spiritual and practical needs. Nevertheless there is the prospect of giving life to our inner vision.

There is movement. There is light. All centers are the same. Folly doesn’t exist. We are the same as we were and as we will be. Not counting on idiotic destiny.~Frida Kahlo

The Moon is Void of course today between 1.02am and 5.50am EST USA so don’t sweat or do the big stuff. Focus on the small achievable gains and rest in between. And definitely don’t sign contracts in that time range.

Theme: Striving and strength

The Moon in Capricorn moves closer to Pluto today focusing our attention on our motivations for achieving success. Pluto reminds us of the psychological hooks involved in personal ambition and getting what we want. With Pluto energy, letting go our needs and wants begins a journey towards insight into our true motivations and ultimately transforming them into something bigger than ourselves, and therefore of more benefit.

When you face your fear, you become familiar with it, and familiarity makes it lose its meaning, loosen its grip – fear ceases to be fear.~Gulzar

Theme: Union

With the Sun and Moon conjunct today there is potential for inner union. The Moon in Capricorn brings focus on practical matters and taking responsibility. Mars has moved into Leo emphasizing inner dignity, and outer confidence and leadership. Mercury in Sagittarius brings optimism and freedom of expression to the forefront while Venus in Aquarius enables freedom of expression in relationships and encourages us to help out in a community context.

To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.~Mary Oliver

Theme: Determined, Ambitious or Cruel

The powerful opposition between Mars and Pluto is back for another 2 weeks.This energy can be used for self awareness and accomplishing ones goals, either positive or negative. We can also have interpersonal struggles. But ultimately it signifies that our conscious will is at odds with our subconscious drives. The energy for expansion, Jupiter, is also at cross-purposes to the restrictive power of Saturn. This conflict also lasts for the next 2 weeks.

Stress and anxiety often come from too much expectation and too much ambition. ~H H the Dalai Lama

The Moon is void of course today from 6:35 pm until 11:38 pm EST. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Connections

With the Moon conjunct the asteroid Juno today the focus is on the ties that both bind us and set us free, especially in respect of deeply committed relationships. Saturn continues to form a T-square with Jupiter and Mercury – challenging ones capacity to fulfill commitments while navigating the sometimes unpredictable straits of communication. This T-Square invites us to find a balance when dealing with pressure for both expansion and contraction.

… carry on and don’t speculate a lot, like an unintelligent person who doesn’t question too much about things and is also easygoing, kind of relaxed, not upset about this or that.~Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme: Practice mindfulness

The Moon is in Scorpio today providing many opportunities to check in with your mind and ground yourself, especially when strong feelings surface. Scorpio energy derives in part from its deep feeling nature so being able to ‘know thyself’ helps a lot with this transit in avoiding reflexive reactivity towards others. The Sun in Capricorn balances out the intensity of the Moon with an earthy ‘can do’ pragmatism. Capricorn is also known for its dry wit so let humor loosen any tightness today.

As we grow in our consciousness, there will be more compassion and more love, and then the barriers between people, between religions, between nations will begin to fall.~ Ram Dass

Theme: Restructuring

Jupiter is exactly square Saturn today forcing you to restructure in order to find a better balance between your personal goals and responsibilities. There is a grand trine between Jupiter, Venus and the Moon today providing upliftment and a silver lining to the day. With Jupiter remaining in opposition to Mercury communications of all kinds continue to pop up. Diplomacy goes a long way in dealing with foot-in-mouth moments.

The Moon is Void of Course for most of the day (from 5.44am through to 3.06am EST USA) so stow grand plans in favor of the ‘small is beautiful’ approach, and take time to reflect and restock.

Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.~Winnie the Pooh
