Monday January 3- Sunday January 9 2022
Sun moves from 13*-19* Capricorn Moon Moves from Capricorn to Aries
This week, as well as the rest of the month, brings fewer major transits between the planets, allowing us to really feel into the strong energies that are currently in play. Venus (retro) makes her sextile to Neptune this week, followed by a conjunction with the Sun, it may feel like a whole new wardrobe change into a new you for this new year. Mercury and the Moon are in conversation with Chiron throughout the week as well and could be offering the pep talks we need to show up with our new attitude. Stay open to the new and connected to spirit as it will help keep you moving forward in the new right direction.
Monday (3/13*/Capricorn-Aquarius) Past and future could be in the forefront today as Jupiter squares the nodes. Try not to spend too much time in the “woulda-coulda-shoulda’s” and more in the “I’m excited to do more with (fill in the blank) this year”. The Moon in Capricorn sextiles Neptune and conjuncts Venus (retro) offering intuitive encouragement of ideas and ways forward that you may not have seen or been interested in before. The Moon enters Aquarius around 5:45 pm est and conjuncts Mercury putting our thoughts and feelings towards our desires for our future.
Tuesday (4/14*/Aquarius) The Moon sextiles Chiron in the morning, followed by a square with Uranus and, of course, a conjunction with Saturn. Our feelings may be wondering “what next?” in the evolution of this new identity, the conjunction with Saturn in the afternoon could put you in a more serious mood around where you believe you are going, and what you plan to do to get there. A sextile to Mars later in the evening will have you feeling ready to make a move. Venus retro and Mercury in its shadow suggest you make an initial framework for plans, but plan to be flexible until both are out of shadow around mid-February.
Wednesday (5/15*/Aquarius-Pisces) Venus (retro) sextiles Neptune today putting a creative and dreamy energy to your activities. The Moon in Aquarius is quiet until she moves into Pisces around 7:15 pm est and makes her conjunction to Jupiter at 1*. Today is a great day for creative group projects.
Thursday (6/16*/Pisces) The creative, productive energy continues today as the Moon in Pisces is quiet until the afternoon. A sextile to Uranus around 2:00pm est should give an emotional boost to your new sense of self. A sextile to the Sun a square to Mars overnight could have you up late scaling up new goals and ways to achieve them this year.
Friday (7/17*/Pisces) The Moon continues her round of sextiles today, this time to Venus and Pluto in the morning, combined with a conjunction to Neptune. If you have been unable to open up to a new idea or way of doing things, today may be a game changer as old ego hold-ups will be more easily left behind. The Moon enters Aries in the afternoon around 12:30pm est sparking movement forward.
Saturday (8/18*/Aries) The Sun conjuncts Venus (retro) today at 18* Capricorn, helping us commit to new management over day to day life. Venus will continue to retrograde back to 11* of Capricorn, and will be helping us get clear on what level of integrity we must open up to in order to achieve our new goals. The Moon sextiles Mercury overnight and conjuncts Chiron in the early morning, you could really be feeling things from last year come into full circle, perhaps bringing new theories on what God has been prepping you for
Sunday (9/19*/Aries) Mercury sextiles Chiron, who is still at 8* Aries today, helping to mentally reenforce our new commitments to ourselves. The Moon sextiles Saturn overnight, and square Venus (retro) in the morning, bringing a focused and productive air to the day. This energy is bolstered by a trine to Mars in the afternoon. A square to the Sun not too long after, could bring a test on those new commitments. Plan an activity today that is in alignment with your new goals for this year.
Thanks for bearing with me last week as I took some time off to mend from a cold.
Monday January 17- Sunday January 23
Sun Moves from 27* Capricorn-4* Aquarius Moon moves from Cancer-Libra
The Moon is the most active planet in the sky this week and she is making her monthly round of oppositions to the many planets in Capricorn-Aries. Along with the Mercury retrograde energies, this week is giving us an opportunity to really weigh our feelings and thoughts about where we belong in this story of the future. The week begins with a Full Moon in Cancer at 27* and our feelings are prime to get to the bottom of what we must do to truly nurture ourselves going forward. We have been learning to accept a new definition of ourselves going and we must determine what actions and activities define that new role. Uranus Stations direct the same day the North Node (true node) moves into Taurus signaling forward momentum in what we are manifesting for the future. The week ends with the Sun’s conjunction to Mercury which will hopefully bring new ideas and clarity on the way forward.
Monday (17/27*-28* 10:15pm est/Cancer) Full Moon 6:48pm est The Moon trines Neptune who is now at 21* early this morning and is quiet until the afternoon when she opposes Pluto around 4. This is a great time before the Full Moon to meditate on what you are birthing into this New Year and beyond and what kind of support you will require to get there. The Full Moon, with the Sun conjunct Pluto at 26* Capricorn brings in powerful energy for healing and letting go to make way for the new. Pluto is helping us decide where the cuts must be made, where new boundaries must be drawn. The Moon moves into Leo later in the evening and could bring a sense of confidence in your new path.
Tuesday (18/ 28*-29* 10pm est/ Leo) Uranus stations direct today at 10*49’ of Taurus signaling forward momentum on manifesting the new values that must be in place for the new you. The North Node (true node) moves into Taurus today, where it will be for the next 19 months or so. The North Node will be helping us hone in on these new values of ours and help point the way ahead. Mercury (now retro) makes his 2nd trine to Chrion early this morning, which along with the quiet Leo moon, could leave you feeling self-assured that you have moved past old wounds and you are ready to move on. Mercury will sextile Chiron again, once he is direct late February so whatever comes up today for review will be seen again, possibly for you to wave your last goodbye to. The Moon makes her opposition to Mercury in the afternoon followed by her own trine to Chiron, emotionally highlighting this mental theme of the day. A square to Uranus (now direct!)later in the evening forms a T-square with Mercury who is opposing the Moon. This energy could bring passionate conversation around where the future is headed this evening.
Wednesday (19/ 29*-0* 9:39pm est/ Leo) The Moon makes her opposition to Saturn overnight and could cause some tossing and turning over the self-discipline needed for your new commitments. The Sun at 29* Capricorn could have you and your future goals feeling tested. The Sun makes a trine to the North Node in the afternoon before the ingress into Aquarius around 9:30 hopefully bringing in some fresh air and lighter thoughts. Mars conjuncts the Galactic Center today, you are ready to put the effort in for your new future. Mars enters Capricorn next week heralding a new era of getting it done!
Thursday (20/ 0*-1* 9:15 pm est/ Virgo) The Moon in Leo makes a trine to Mars overnight helping to emotionally set the tone for next week’s action plan. She moves into Virgo around 6am and is quiet until her opposition to Jupiter in the early evening. Use the time to look over your goals and desires for the next 6 months or so. Today is a great day to get mentally organized for what is to come.
Friday (21/ 1*-2* 8:50pm est/Virgo)The Moon makes a trine to Uranus and Venus in the morning, creating a peaceful Grand Trine in Earth signs. You are feeling open to making the transition to a more authentic version of yourself. Tonight is an excellent night for romance and love. The Moon makes her opposition to Neptune overnight and could bring intuitive messages on where you need more balance in your spiritual path. Pay attention to your dreams!
Saturday (22/ 2*-3* 8:26pm est/ Virgo-Libra) The Moon trines Pluto late into the morning perhaps bringing your emotions into any messages brought to you in dreamland last night. A square to Mars in the afternoon around 2:45 could create emotional sparks around how we are taking care of ourselves. The Moon enters Libra around 5pm and trines the Sun and Mercury later in the evening. This could be a great night for socializing with friends and discussing your future plans
Sunday (23/ 3*-4*8:02pm est/ Libra)The Sun conjuncts Mercury (retro) today at 3*, bringing your heart and mind together on where you believe you are headed in the future. The Moon makes her opposition to Chiron in the morning perhaps bringing up the wound you were feeling confident about getting over earlier this week. Your emotions could be weighing in on what you are actually doing about your healing. A square to Venus (retro) at 11* in the afternoon has us emotionally opening up to our new integrity inside of our decision making. A trine to Saturn in the evening helps us feel mentally on the right path.
This week’s aspect pattern: The T-Square
Neptune in Pisces at 21* squares Black Moon Lilith in Gemini at 20* and Mars in Sagittarius at 25*
This T-square, which became active last week continues into this week as we examine our goals and where our beliefs belong in the future. Neptune making a square to both Black Moon Lilith and Mars suggests that we may face some fears around where to go or what to do next.. The opposition between Mars and Lillith stresses the fear of not taking the right action. The key here is with Neptune, in order to disperse these fears we must regularly check in with spirit that we are taking the right actions. Lilith at 20* is making sure we have protected our feelings to combat our fears. With Neptune at 21* we are specifically asking Spirit where our big picture beliefs about God’s plan for the future are at odds with our fears and our plans.
Monday January 24- Sunday January 30
Sun moves from 4*-11* Aquarius Moon moves from Libra to Capricorn
Now that we have entered Aquarius we are taking stock of where we feel we belong inside of this new story. Last year we honed in on our new belief systems, and new values for the future, essentially changing the timeline we had previously been on. This year we will be forming our new identity inside of this new timeline we have chosen. This week, a stellium in Capricorn, gives us an opportunity to reconsider our original plans and to refine where we feel we belong going forward. It is time to think bigger and aim with our hearts to determine where-to next.
At the beginning of the week, I am noticing a trend of aspects with Mercury in the later evening and into the night. Pay attention to how this affects your sleep and prepare to make necessary adjustments around managing or preventing late nights.
The Sun begins to change degrees earlier into the evening, see if you notice a change in the energies as you are winding down for the night.
Monday(24/ 4*-5* (7:30pm est)/ Libra-Scorpio) Mars enters Capricorn this morning and we are actively holding space for the decision making process that will happen this week. Chiron in Aries moves to the Mars degree of 9, in full support of the ego’s intentions, and the actions that must be taken. The Moon in Libra makes a square to Pluto in the morning bringing our full emotional attention towards what is ending and what is beginning. The Moon moves into moody Scorpio later in the evening, around 11pm est and makes a sextile to Mars shortly thereafter, bringing our emotions on board with the ego. Today could be quite the dance emotionally as we set the stage. Take care to organize, and measure twice before making your cuts. A square to Mercury overnight could have you awake thinking about it.
Tuesday (25/ 5*-6* (7:15 pm est)/ Scorpio) Mercury retrogrades back into Capricorn this evening creating another possibility for a late night of reconsidering where you belong in the future, and what plans need to be edited to get you there. Moon in Scorpio makes a square to the Sun and a trine to Jupiter in the morning, helping you emotionally turn a corner towards the new story. The Moon is quiet until the early evening when she makes an opposition to Uranus and a sextile to Venus. You may still need to explore more options on how to balance your new identity with what you can open up to. Follow your heart.
Wednesday (26/ 6*-7* (7pm est)/ Scorpio)Mercury trines the newly transitioned North Node in Taurus today, helping us to aim higher in our decisions for the future and see where you may have been undervaluing yourself. The Moon squares Saturn overnight and could leave you dreaming about your decisions and their potential outcomes. A trine to Neptune in the late morning could bring some encouraging insights and wisdom. The Moon is quiet until the evening when she sextiles Pluto, bringing more emotional support for what must end for the new to really begin. The Moon sextiles Mercury (retro) a little after midnight this could be a good night to open up and share your feelings with someone you trust.
Thursday (27/ 7*-8* (6:30 pm est)/ Sagittarius) The Moon moves into Sagittarius overnight and is quiet until the afternoon when she makes a square to Jupiter, followed by a sextile to the Sun helping today to feel more relaxed. With the Sun at 7* we may be feeling more intuitive and introverted. Use today to explore your new beliefs about what feels right in the future. You may start to feel more excited about the potentials.
Friday (28/ 8*-9* (6pm est)/ Sagittarius) The Sun makes a sextile to Chiron on the same day Mercury retro makes his 2nd conjunction with Pluto. Old projects could get a new shine today. We are able to see new opportunities open up in light of the healing we have been doing throughout both Mercury and Venus retrogrades. The Moon crosses the Galactic Center at the exact moment this happens, really turning in our emotional homework to God on where we feel we must move next. Don’t limit or undervalue yourself. Dream with your heart, dream big. The Moon sextiles Saturn overnight emotionally preparing us for today. A square to Neptune in the afternoon has us turning the corner with the new spiritual story
Saturday (29/ 9*-10* (5:45 pm est)/ Capricorn) Venus stations direct at 11* today, we are opening up to a new integrity in our decision making now that we have decided to aim higher based on new values and beliefs. You could feel a renewed sense of clarity today. Today is a great day to start any new practices or daily routines you have been considering. The Moon joins the party in Capricorn early in the morning and makes her conjunction to Mars around 10 am est lighting up our ego’s drive and helping us get to it! The Moon will sextile Jupiter in the afternoon, helping keep the mood positive. A square to Chiron in the evening could bring small test to your commitments. (put that chocolate cake down!) Stay strong! A trine to Uranus and a conjunction to Venus later will have you feeling more like yourself in this new identity.
Sunday (30/ 10*-11* (5:15 pm est) Capricorn) With the Sun square Uranus today, things could take an unexpected turn. Expect surprise speed bumps, or new information that could take you down a side road. If you have not been doing the work to make necessary changes, something that might force change could come up at this time. The Moon is quiet until the afternoon when she will sextile Neptune, bringing a sense of fate to whatever change may come up today. A conjunction to Mercury and later Pluto may help us better accept that something is really over.
Aspect Pattern of the week: The Shield
2 Semi-Sextiles, 2 intersecting squares, 1 sextile, 1 trine
This relatively rare quadrilateral could have you on the defensive this week over who you are becoming and how you are getting there. The sides of pattern formed by the semi-sextiles, represent weak points in our strategy. By utilizing the tension created by the intersecting squares we are able to form a stronger backing for our protective armor, made up in this case by Chiron in Aries and the Sun in Aquarius. The healing that we have done, and the actions that need to be taken to create a new sense of belonging in this new timeline are the basis for support, the squares from Chiron to Mars (and also the Moon on Saturday) and the Sun to Uranus, further exemplify this need for action and decisions around creating a new personal identity outside of old ego wounds and patterns. The trick will be to not allow your defenses to fly off the rails, and to use any tension or conflict that might arise as a means of understanding what no longer works, helping bring even more clarity on the same day that Venus stations direct.
