Theme: A Steady Fire

The Moon is in Aries, the most intense fire sign. It harmonizes with the Sun and Saturn, bringing a steadiness and patient practicality. It is important to prioritize our responsibilities, but we should be able to achieve more today. Continue to take advantage of the ability to communicate and think deeply. The pace of activities will increase a bit each day now. Swift as the wind. Quiet as the forest. Conquer like the fire. Steady as the mountain. ~Sun Tzu

Theme: Watch Uranus

Besides being the butt of many jokes, this planet is positively connected to Venus, Mars and Jupiter now. We look for excitement in relationships and we take new initiatives now. The synchronicity with Jupiter lasts for the next month. This can bring sudden strokes of luck, especially if one has that kind of good karma generally. This can also be used for a higher purpose of insight into religion and philosophy. In fact, the Buddha teaches us that all sentient beings are suffering because we don’t know how to attain happiness. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

The Moon is void of course today from 4:42 am until 9:58 am EST. It is best to not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Achieving or Despairing

The Sun, our sense of purpose, unites with Saturn for four more days. This can be a productive, successful time, or a low energy time with self-doubt. It is best to focus ourselves on the most important responsibilities now. There is a powerful opportunity for compassion, prayer and meditation in the second half of the day. Mercury, the last retrograde planet, goes direct at 11:14 pm EST. In a week or so, a period of strong forward movement will last until the end of April. Whatever you do, always give 100%. Unless you’re donating blood. ~Bill Murray

Theme: Beneficial connections and less headwinds

Today you have the benefit of Moon sextile Venus and conjunct Jupiter which expands your horizons and gives you an emotional lift. Other people are more supportive than usual and easier to get along with. With the Moon moving into Pisces you can tune into more subtle emotional currents that are capturing your attention. You can get more nourishment from resting more at this time. …now is the time to focus my time and energy on other things that need my attention.~Tom Brady

The Moon is Void of Course today until 6.00am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Snapping Tiger!

Welcome to the Year of Tiger! Put some roar in your cup of tea! This year is the year to draw on your inner courage and bravery. Currently, with three planets in Aquarius there is a greater desire to exercise personal freedom, especially where you feel hemmed in. Aquarian energy allows you to explore new ways of expressing this freedom. Today, with the close connection between the Sun, Saturn and Moon you can accomplish many tasks with good effort. These words are gently spoken: Serve — and hate will die unborn. Love — and chains are broken.~Langston Hughes

Theme: Steady progress

Notwithstanding Mercury is retrograde, the Moon in Gemini brings improved communications and conversations. The Sun continues its march towards Saturn bringing much needed focus. Today you have the opportunity to reflect on your life purpose and align your inner wishes with your outer goals. There are some challenges but they are manageable in the scheme of things. Compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength.~Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama

The Moon is Void of Course today until 4.43am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: Deep Thoughts

The conjunction between Mercury, our communications and thoughts, and Pluto’s penetrating and transformative energy continues today and through the middle of February. Can we maintain a wholesome, compassionate motivation so that only good comes from this powerful period? Venus is now moving forward so we can take on a more active role in our relationships, but misunderstandings are still likely, so proceed with caution. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them talk. ~”Deep Thoughts” by Jack Handey

The Moon is void of course from 11:45 pm until 4:44 am the next day EST. Avoid making any major decisions during this time period.

Theme: A Break in Routine

Uranus, the planet of sudden disruptions, is challenging our sense of purpose for 4 more days. If we can break our routine intentionally, aware of the intense need for change, we will be better off. Now the Moon joins the four-some of planets in Capricorn for 3 days. We should take time to intuit our feelings, as opposed to complete focus on achievement. The evening is a good time for socializing and shared indulgence. The world as we have created is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking. ~Albert Einstein

The Moon is void of course today until 4:10 am EST. Do not make any big decisions during that time period.

Theme: No one will get your goat

Mercury is back in Capricorn, united with Pluto. Mars and Venus make it a four-some that can be “milked” for accomplishment. Our mental activity is strong and penetrating. Remember humility especially since Mercury is still retrograde. And with the Moon “squaring” Neptune in the middle of the day, we get caught in our fantasies. We can see more clearly in the early morning or late evening. Finally, expect disruptions for the next several days. A person hears only what they understand. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The Moon is void of course from 2:01 pm until 4:10 am EST the next day. Avoid making major decisions during this time period.

Theme: Mixed blessings

With Saturn moving on from a difficult aspect to Uranus you can breathe a sigh of relief. Of course with Uranus in Taurus for many years to come we are on the cusp of many physical upheavals which will impact many areas of our life. This is the time to engage with methods that ease and slow down disruptions beginning with our inner practice including calming the mind. There is a blessing with Jupiter right now in Pisces: Jupiter’s blessings are a reminder that life’s challenges can result in beneficial outcomes. Poetries are no more pure and simple than human histories are pure and simple. And there are colonised poetics and resilient poetics, transmissions across frontiers not easily traced.~Adrienne Rich

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST 12.28 am and 2:34am pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.
