January 8th, 2019: Mercury in Capricorn Square Mars

Mercury in Capricorn square Mars in Aries (4 deg)
Mercury in Capricorn’s verbal/written rules are challenged by Mars’ actions or anger. This is a crisis aspect – edgy conversations or tense discussions may not explode into fully-blown arguments because Capricorn keeps things under control. But the tension will be there.
If your authority is challenged, know that the more you clamp down the more aggressive the push will be. If you’re the challenger, your impulses may be blocked by an authoritative “ No.”
The square always draws our attention to what must be changed, so either the rules are outdated or the upstart challenge needs to be smacked down and boundaries reinforced.
Either way, don’t expect smooth discussions and be prepared to defend or reinforce.
In some cases, actions will be out of alignment with words – what does this mean for you? Do you need to emphasize your point or reconsider your battle?

Venus’ Transit of Sagittarius: Wanting More

Venus enters Sagittarius on January 7th, expanding possibilities for relationships, money, self-esteem and values. Exploration and optimism colour Venus-themed issues – freedom becomes important and what’s up ahead is attractive (the journey can be more appealing than the destination).
This is a transit that attracts more – you want more and you can get more. There’s a sense of adventure – who knows what might happen and isn’t that the point? This is the time to keep your eyes open and consider what might usually be “impossible”. Take a second look at the romantic prospect who’s not your type, or the source of income that’s unusual/exotic, or the situation that’s a bit outside your comfort zone but still appealing.
Of course, risk must be balanced with reward, but Venus in Sag can teach you about what you thought you wanted, or what you thought your talents/self-worth consisted of. The key is growth- saying “yes” to something bigger and better. Doing more with what you have or reaching beyond what you’ve always wanted and discovering something new that’s appealing.
Don’t limit yourself with what used to matter or what you’ve always attracted. This is the transit that encourages you to consider what lies in unexplored territory.
Here are the aspects Venus in Sag will make:
Jan 18th: trine Mars in Aries (11 deg)
Jan 20th: square Neptune in Pisces (14 deg)
Jan 22nd: conjunct Jupiter (16 deg)
Jan 25th: sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (19 deg)
Jan 31st: inconjunct the Cancer North Node (26 deg)
Jan 31st: inconjunct Juno in Taurus (26 deg)
Feb 2nd: trine Uranus in Aries (28 deg)
Feb 2nd: sextile Pallas in Libra (28 deg)
Feb 3rd: square Chiron in Pisces (29 deg)
Feb 3rd: Capricorn ingress
