Theme: Liberating and Deeply Relating

With the Sun in Aquarius you can break the mold of staid habits and embrace change, innovation and a new sense of community: personal freedom can now be aligned with freedom of the larger community within which you sit. Venus is conjunct Pluto. This can be a healing and transformative time. It offers you the opportunity to connect with your authentic, true feelings and communicate those to significant people in your life. The way money is handled can be renegotiated. Venus in Aquarius means expressing your love for others in new, freeing ways.

Renunciation means to understand time is running out and everything passes.~ Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme: The Elements

The elements of earth and water are naturally harmonious with one another. With so many planets in earth signs (chiefly Capricorn) and a few in water signs (Cancer and Pisces) there is a balance of the elements that favors routine, structure, practical achievements, establishing firm foundations and identifying matters of the heart (and feelings) including identifying what shields and what enables you to access the heart of what matters most. Compassion can arise when these elements are in harmony. The absence of air and to some extent fire element at this time means there is, for a time, less spontaneity, flexibility, impartiality and ease of communication.

You are an alchemist; make gold of that.~ Shakespeare

Theme: Follow the Spark

The Moon has moved into Sagittarius and brings exploration (inner and outer) to the fore. It’s a time to expand your perspective and horizons. Adventure beckons and optimism is strengthened where Sagittarius is concerned. Venus is trine Uranus and sextile the Saturn/Neptune conjunction bringing liveliness, creativity and deepening connections to inspiring people. You can make social commitments at this time and be braver in identifying your feelings.

You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.~ Winnie the Pooh

Theme: Keep an open mind

Mercury is opposite Jupiter mentally expanding your boundaries yet also pushing the limits of what is possible. As much as you are able think before you speak, keep an open mind while also making informed decisions. Having said that, quick thinking maybe required as Mercury is also conjunct Mars plus conjunct the Sun giving a more purposeful flow to ideas. It’s a ‘waking-up’ series of conjunctions with Mercury, in some respects, enabling you to see things you did not see previously.

One should have insight into this world of dreams that passes in the twinkling of an eye.~ Hojo Shigetoki

The Moon is Void of Course in Scorpio from 12.32pm until 6.34pm. Avoid signing contracts at this time or frenetic outward activity. Rather, rest and contemplate: find time to feel an inner stillness.

Theme: Deep enquiry

The Moon in Scorpio provides an opportunity for getting to the heart of matters: it means taking time to investigate and contemplate. It’s also a more retiring, inward time. Combined with the Sun square Chiron there is a lot of light you can throw on hidden, and at times, painful areas of your life with good result. With the Moon in a water sign and the Sun in an earth sign there is a complimenting of elements that enables you to better ground, focus and find reprieve from instability. The Moon is opposite Uranus so expect the unexpected and remain flexible.

It is said, “When misdeeds are purified, realization occurs automatically.”‘~ Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Theme: Re-grouping

The Moon is directly opposite the Saturn/Neptune conjunction today so, in combination with the extended Void of Course Moon today you can go more gently and less railing against the systems that cause frustration and delays today until more auspicious conditions arise. It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t continue your efforts – just moderate your expectations. The Sun remains conjunct Mars and Venus so there is a good sense of purpose and self-confidence – it’s just that sometimes timing is everything.

Now is the winter of our discontent.~ Shakespeare

The Moon is Void of Course from 12.45pm until 7.05pm which is a good portion of the day so don’t have high expectations of achievement in the external world – rather focus on the small stuff and spend quiet time. Avoid signing contracts or binding legal documents at this time.

Theme: Integration

With the Sun, Mars and Venus all nestled together at 17 degrees of Capricorn it is a timely reminder that we can be our own friends (or enemies) in integrating planetary energy. This conjunction steers us towards purposeful actions wedded to an innate understanding of the importance of leadership, humility and empowered relationships in sustainable outcomes. We have more staying power and endurance with this conjunction. Combined with the Moon in Virgo the element of earth is predominant. The earth element provides firm foundations that enable durable, long-lasting outcomes.

Fairest and best adorned is she whose clothing is humility.~ James Montgomery

Theme: Merit

The Sun is exactly conjunct Venus today infusing the day with a good dose of love, affection and even an opportunity for celebration. Venus, like Jupiter, brings good fortune which, from another perspective, are the results of past good actions. Of course Mars remains nearby – but benefic Venus outweighs the tendency for Mars to be over-controlling and self-absorbed versus Venus where ‘sharing is caring’. The Moon moves into Virgo today steering the focus towards healthy habits and the finer details of daily life.

Teachers open the door. You enter by yourself.~ Chinese Proverb

Theme: Energy transfer

Mars is conjunct the Sun funneling energy into all activities. Mars energy is part of our life-force but inherently selfish and geared for survival, so the question is what is your motivation in your actions and achieving desired outcomes? You have more drive but it’s important to harness it for good and not control over others. Saturn is edging closer to Neptune, which is rather like watching paint dry, but nevertheless ratchets up the energy of this conjunction that could result in either integration or a split of some kind. So, continue to work with your understanding of cause and effect and spiritual deepening.

One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.~ Helen Keller

Theme: Concentration and Balance

The astrological chart for the coming year is focused on achieving balance in the elements and harmonious relationships through tapping more deeply into generosity. It’s also a time of inner union of yin and yang. Focus and fortitude are important qualities with the preponderance of planets in Capricorn. It’s also important to spend time on establishing firm foundations before building your dream. With Saturn and Neptune still in conjunction at the commencement of the year it’s important to focus equally on spiritual health and understanding cause and effect in whatever tasks you undertake. The Moon in Gemini presages the importance of communications in all forms – and is square the nodes (bringing unconscious motivations to the surface) and trine the ascendant – aiding focus. Expansion on the home front is also a theme this year.

Life is a balance of holding on and letting go.~ Rumi
