Sidereal Western Astrology
Friday, January 1st
first I would like to say Happy New Year to all those who get these
astrological updates! In a pro active spirit, I want to make note that Mercury
will go retrograde this week on the Tuesday the 5th. Mercury has
started its journey in Capricorn which affects strategic plans and money. Know
that most of this retrograde will be in good aspect with Jupiter the
opportunist, until the 18th. So bear witness to situations that your
communications initiate and speak only well of the future. Try to see the good
luck in anything that may otherwise be disappointing. We are still in a phase
of creating something better for ourselves, so why not promote the best? Use
the silver lining argument for a while. Try not to sign any contracts right
now. February may be better. Otherwise the other influences are romance will
take a back seat to creating a comfortable feel to your surroundings. Moon in
Virgo.
Saturday, January 2nd.
Today’s influence will have you instigating some very positive changes for
health and healing (Sun & Pluto in Sagittarius sextile to Chiron in
Aquarius). There is more focus on mental health and supporting philosophy,
without the airy fairy denial vibe. Also this next week will find unusual
support for bringing the spirit of life into your day to day expectations. The
Saturn in Scorpio /Uranus in Pisces trine can present opportunities to inspire
you with verses for everyday. I love using a method of bibliomancy where I have
a book of short verses, or tarot cards and just flip until the book opens up.
That is the inspiration for the day. It is always a good idea to let light into
your morning while you are fresh and see how that can guide your day. Attitude
is everything right now, as today, you will be particularly pressed to make
attitude course corrections. Moon in
Virgo.
Sunday, January 3rd.
the day starts out with a sense of a weak mind and no energy. Why fight it?
Today the Moon conjuncts Mars in a weakened state in Libra, so sort out
yesterdays choices and fine tune what you can. We are all works in progress;
keep your sights on the high road. Yes there are attention getting stumbling blocks
everywhere, but the test is to work around them. Moon in Libra.
Monday, January 4th
there is a positive triad with the Sun/Pluto in Sagittarius as the focal point.
Allow this day to usher in revelations of how well recent adjustments and
decisions work out. There are times when learning to be receptive to events is
more beneficial to trying to control every step. Today the universe does not
respond well to short sighted or tightly held control. There is so much more
out there and we are a part of the whole, not the king or queen. Moon in Libra.
Tuesday, January 5th.
If you haven’t felt the shift yet, today it the day that areas around security,
systems and money may start to be challenged. Mix-ups and foul ups are frequently
to blame. For the next few weeks, double check bank statements, contracts and
whatever relates to communications.
Maybe turn off your auto correct as new relationships may be strained
over chaotic word choices. Moon in Scorpio by mid day.
Wednesday, January 6th
for success, follow up on all memos etc from work and business. Heaviness is
over a number of people and they are just not fully engaged in what they are
doing. Maybe their new beau is not texting, maybe they lost an important tax
document… who knows. Cover yourself and do a lot of follow up. There is some
luck with new endeavors but be aware that some co creating will be necessary
for success. Two heads are always better than one. Moon in Scorpio.
Thursday, January 7th
today we will want what WE want! You just can’t force things to happen. Look
for synchronicities to fill in the next line of exploration or endeavor. Those
riding the wave of self discovery will find the most reward. Just bear in mind,
not all of it is fun and easy. But growth is defiantly there! Much of this
relates to your outlook, not your altruistic or fantastical dreams. Moon in
Scorpio.
Blessings and Peace,
