Theme: Home and Family

The Moon is in Cancer, its home sign, for a few days. We feel more emotionally secure, and turn our attention towards home and family. Venus, our relational energy, is now retrograde until the end of January. We become more introspective about our relationships, and more reserved with money. In 2 days the Sun will join 3 planets in the sign of Capricorn, which will turn our focus even more towards worldly achievements. A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it. ~George A. Moore

The Moon is void of course from 1:03 am until 4:43 am EST. Do not make any big decisions during this time period

Theme: Spiritual Dimensions

Through the middle of the day, the Moon is “squaring” Neptune which adds to the spiritual potential that we have with Jupiter harmonizing with the Sun for a few days. It is better to pray, meditate and work selflessly, than to plan and work with self interest. Later in the day the full Moon will be easier than usual, thanks to broad-minded Jupiter. Relationships continue to have a subconscious drive element. This added intensity will be present until the end of the month. As you breathe in, cherish yourself. As you breathe out, cherish all beings. ~H H the Dalai Lama

Theme: A Beneficial 4 days

Good can come in a lot of ways for the next several days. This is because the Sun and Jupiter are in a positive 60 degree angle now. Working with others, including authorities, accomplishing objectives, and planning for the future are all favored. There is a nice balance of all 4 elements in the sky, which supports inspiration, practicality, thinking and socializing, and emotions and intuition. In the middle of the day we have extra discipline to draw on. Success is where preparation and opportunity meet. ~Bobby Unser

Theme: Careful, Confused and Focused on the Big Picture

We are blessed today that for 8 hours or so, in the middle of the day, we are stabilized by Saturn harmonizing with the Moon. It would otherwise be a peak day for discouragement and confusion. Still be careful that your thoughts and feelings are grounded in reality. Jupiter is helping us to look at the larger issues in life: law, religion, philosophy and foreign places. This is a good day to plan a trip, and to consider how to make the world a better place. I am confident that things can be improved greatly as most of the problems are man-made and can be reduced if man wants to reduce them. ~H H the Dalai Lama

Theme: Light or Dark

There is a peak concerning intensity in our relationships for the next two weeks. On the positive side relationships can be deep and satisfying. But since Pluto is united with Venus, there can also be problems, such as jealousy and the desire to control the other person. If starting a new relationship one should be cautious with a wait and see attitude, especially with the confusion of the Sun “squaring” Neptune for the next few days. Fortunately, Mars will boost our energy today. Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. ~Yoda

The Moon is void of course from 2:41 pm until 4:47 pm EST. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Lower Energy and Discouragement

For the next 4 days we will have less energy than usual. We can become disheartened by the gap between our aspirations and our reality., and be involved in deceiving others or being deceived. These experiences intensify in the evening, and small crises arise as the Moon unites with Neptune and both of these challenge the Sun, our sense of purpose. Ultimately there is potential to serve others selflessly, and improve the level of our prayer and meditation. I like to keep my issues drawn, it’s always darkest before the dawn. ~Florence Welch
