Theme: Flexibility

Surprises have mostly passed for the the moment (The Moon has moved past Uranus). Now you can recover and move on – until the next surprise! Dealing with sudden change is even more reason to develop flexibility. The Moon moves into Gemini today bringing with it the breeze of conversation, short trips and encounters with siblings. The preponderance of planets in Capricorn creates a good environment for planning ahead for long-term goals by building on solid foundations.

The Moon is Void of Course in Taurus tomorrow between 1.58am and 8.13am EST USA. Avoid signing major contracts – instead find time to enjoy reflective time.

Theme: Finding Balance

With Mars and Venus poised on either side of the Sun in Capricorn it’s an opportunity to find purposeful balance in your life between action/life directions and making meaningful connections that deepen relationships. The Moon in Taurus continues to provide stability although it is moving towards Uranus later in the day bringing surprises: flexibility remains the key. With the Dark Moon close to Mercury, be particularly mindful of speech and what you are seeking to communicate today.

Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm, and harmony. – Thomas Merton

Theme: Seeking Security

The Moon in Taurus invites consideration of the practical steps needed to create peace, abundance and security. Like all earth signs, there is a logic to achieving these outcomes. Similarly the placement of three planets in another earth sign, Capricorn, also focuses attention on the practical steps needed to accomplish one’s purpose (Sun), achieve goals (Mars) and make commitments in relationship (Venus). While Jupiter remains squared with Chiron, facing painful memories can be liberating and ultimately the getting of wisdom.

Wisdom is oftimes nearer when we stoop Than when we soar.~ William Wordsworth

The Moon is Void of Course in Aries until 6.57am today. Avoid signing contracts during this period. Find gentle, restorative and reflective time.

Theme: Persistence pays off

With three planets in Capricorn including the Sun fortitude and perseverance are stronger at this time. So harness the purposeful nature of these qualities for good. The Moon is in Pisces and also conjunct Saturn-Neptune warming the emotional temperature but also illuminating the challenges of juggling both restrictions and lack of restrictions, and focused activity versus making space for imagination, relaxing the mind and spiritual insights.

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

Theme: Commitment

Venus has moved into Capricorn emphasizing commitment and integrity in relationships that honors your inner truth. Venus in Capricorn also emphasizes boundaries and structure in relationships. The Moon moves into Pisces today slowing down the pace of daily life and bringing attention to more subtle emotions and feelings.

Theme: Finding Wisdom

The Moon is conjunct the asteroid Pallas-Athena bringing a connection between feeling and strategic thinking, helping you to traverse complex emotional situations. The Sun is moving closer to Mars – physical exercise is a helpful outlet for this high-energy pairing; and keep including people in your plans if you want their support. Chiron remains exactly square Jupiter forcing you to face painful memories, your fears, truly heal and, in that journey, find wisdom.

Force without wisdom falls of its own weight.~ Horace

The Moon is Void of Course in Aquarius from 6.53pm until 8.08pm the next day EST USA. Avoid major contractual undertakings. Take time to enjoy quiet spaces and find the same within.

Theme: Depth Perception

The Moon is conjunct Pluto in Aquarius today which is both deepening and distancing. Aquarius is an air sign so deep emotions do not sit comfortably with this sign. Yet Aquarius is also open to exploring new ideas. Today you can explore your mind yet keep open-minded about what motivates you. Avoid seeking to overly control your environment. The Sun/Mars conjunction brings energy and drive – and strength to achieve goals but there is a cost if you are adversarial without wisdom.

 I try to be aware, flexible and unbiased in my thinking.~ Margot Fonteyn

Theme: Tapping into the soft heart

With Venus trine Chiron today it’s a day to tap into the quiet softer part of your nature and listen. Any restorative or nurturing of self today is more healing than usual. You are more likely to reach out to others who are going through a difficult time. The Moon in Sagittarius sits between Mercury and Venus today aiding communication needed for daily living and connecting with friends. Neptune sits on the cusp of the Pisces/Aries border and will move finally into Aries on January 26th. While it remains in Pisces it is at home – moving into Aries will bring a new paradigm but one that will not be ushered in smoothly.

Most generally, a paradigm is a conceptual scheme representing a group’s shared commitments and providing them with a way of looking at phenomena.~ T.S. Kuhn

Theme: Adventurous Spirit

Five planets are in Sagittarius bringing new ideas, a focus on study and a fresh exploration of the world we live in where the horizons are visible and you can see that you are part of a much larger whole. Enjoy the adventure of enquiry and exploration. The Sun is conjunct the asteroid Juno and square to Saturn/Neptune inviting a close review of relationships.

The Moon is Void in Scorpio from 2.30am until 11.38am today USA EST. Avoid signing contracts. Focus on your inner world and find space for reflection.

My dear, life rarely gives us what we want at the moment we consider appropriate. Adventures do occur, but not punctually.~ E.M. Forster

Theme: Steady accomplishment

With Saturn exactly square the Sun today it’s a day for contemplating what is realistic and possible given the constraints that Saturn places on our actions. The Moon in Scorpio can bring insights into the unconscious trip wires that we set ourselves. Mars in Capricorn provides strength to keep moving forward. Chiron is trine Venus and the Sun providing healing in relationships and purpose.

The time to practice diligently has now arrived. This is the moment to accomplish permanent happiness, Not the moment to fitter away in a state of laziness.~ Thugdrup
