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.

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: Yin and Yang

There continues to be the Sun, Venus and Mars in close alignment. Venus represents the more feminine energy, and Mars the masculine. This favors all relationships, not just romantic ones. Ultimately, we can balance the yin and yang within ourselves for the next week. The Moon moves into Leo in the late morning, and we turn our attention to creative self expression and play. But the Moon opposes Pluto, our subconscious drive, in the middle of the day. Expect intense emotions in ourselves and others at this time.

If you try to change it, you will ruin it. Try to hold on to it and you will lose it. ~Lao Tzu

Theme: Full Moon and Full Heart

The exact full Moon happens early in the day. We will be energized, but will have to contend with conflicts between home and professional life, conscious and unconscious desires, and our minds and our feelings. Later in the day the Moon is conjunct Jupiter which puts us in a generous state of mind. This also supports spiritual interest and insights at an experiential level. Public speaking should go well today.

Theme: Ambition and Security

There is a lot of ambition in the air, as Mercury joins the stellium of Sun, Venus and Mars in the sign of Capricorn for the next 2 1/2 weeks. What do we want to start building this new year? We should be mindful of the extra physical energy that we have for the next couple of weeks. Don’t let your temper flare up because you have been too sedentary. The Moon enters Cancer in the morning, and remains for the next few days. We are drawn towards family and security.

To seek solitude like a wild animal. That is my only ambition. ~H H the Dalai Lama

The Moon is void of course today from 7:25 am until 8:10 am EST. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

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

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.

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: Do You Know What Gets My Goat?

Today there is a close stellium in Capricorn and those born with that sign sometimes feel that they deserve better than they get. In this case it is strong, ambitious energy that rules the day. The Sun, Venus and Mars are involved. Venus is the gentlest of the group, but is not so happy in Capricorn. Mercury is still in Sagittarius so we are better with the big picture than with details. And the Moon continues in Aries. Look before you leap.

Love is not love, without a violin playing goat. ~Julia Roberts

The Moon is void of course from 9:14 pm until 6:58 am EST the next day. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.
