  • Sun in Capricorn sextile Chiron in Pisces, square Jupiter in Libra (22 degrees)
  • Mars in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn (17 degrees)
  • Pallas conjunct the Pisces South Node (4 degrees)

Jupiter enthusiastically bumps up the Sun’s goals and ambitions, urging you to push the limits while maintaining faith that it will work out. Although there is a risk of exaggerated striving for status, Sun/Chiron takes the edge off with a reminder of empathy. Too, Sun/Jupiter’s confidence can push you past a moment of hesitation or weakness. These aspects are part of the January 12th Full Moon in Cancer.

Aspects between Mars and Pluto usually involve brute force. But the gentle sextile, and Pisces’ softening influence, create a very manageable expression of will. Pluto adds strength to efforts which might otherwise be diluted in Pisces. Mars is the easy, conscious expression of Pluto’s unconscious issues. This is a manifestation aspect – ideals (and even fantasies) are given a nudge of possibility. 

Pallas over the South Node indicates a pattern, creative strategy or transcendental idea whose time has come. You may be dipping into the past, or the pattern may be revealed to you in a moment where fate and intuition intersect. If it feels right, follow that thread. 

Overall, this is an excellent day to go for it, especially if you’ve been hesitating to act on something. It’s not impossible – there’s a higher goal/vision that you now have access to.

Astrology of Now: Calculated Action

The Queen, you may be aware, has had a cold. For the entire period of this Mercury Retrograde, her Majesty kept out of the public eye. She didn’t even make it to the Christmas church services — and that was for the first time in — well, forever. Yesterday, when Mercury went direct, she emerged, looking fully herself. Of course, the Mercury Rx took place in the Queen’s 12th House of purdah. Maybe it was the same for you, if you have Capricorn or Aquarius Rising. Anyway, it’s now time to step out of the shadows and get active. Take the […]
