January 5th, 2018: Look
Venus in Scorpio trine Chiron in Pisces (28 deg)
Venus in Scorpio inconjunct Uranus Rx in Aries (28 deg)
Vesta in Aquarius conjunct Black Moon Lilith (16 deg)
Venus
Continuing the Grand Water Trine, Venus/Chiron suggests deep healing via the full commitment to what you want or love. Venus in Scorpio is not casual – this is an immersion in the beautiful and ugly truths of a relationship, financial or self-esteem issue. The deeper you go, the more access you’ll have to compassion, empathy and acceptance of a wound (Chiron). This is about loving what hurts or finding beauty in what’s flawed and vulnerable.
Note that Venus’ inconjunct to Uranus can provide a shock to the above – some of what’s revealed will not be pleasant and you’ll have to make adjustments. Perhaps you discover more than you bargained for. The challenge will be to integrate this into the flow – can you handle uncomfortable truths?
Vesta/BML
Vesta is focus and Black Moon Lilith is taboo or unacceptable female energy. Here, the focus is on the outsider – the witch/rebel/dangerous woman holds the sacred flame. Aquarius makes this about the collective- perhaps a key issue that no one wanted to acknowledge is unavoidable. Everyone is looking and Lilith’s power is enhanced by the undivided attention.
Vesta is also about purity while BML is considered dark, sexual and “impure”. When the two unite, there are hints of sacred sexuality or devotion to the dark lady on the fringe. Consider where your attention is focused today and why: there’s a reason you can’t look away.
Along with today’s New Moon eclipse, beginnings have a heavy feel but they are weighted in absolute truths. You’ll know where you stand and those with the courage to accept reality will benefit.

Mercury’s Transit of Capricorn
Mercury enters Capricorn on January 4th. Words and thoughts become focused and serious. Messages are delivered with authority. Creativity is less important now than saying it and then doing exactly what you said – the verbal or written commitment. Therefore, the range of ideas is much narrower, but this allows you to identify what has solid potential.
Happening one day before the January 5th eclipse in Capricorn, Mercury’s ingress can signal a formal announcement, serious message or firm decision that’s related to this eclipse. Capricorn makes it real, so Mercury’s messages (or messengers) will have more weight than usual. Trust that what you see and hear is real, even if appears restrictive or judgemental.
On the plus side, this transit is excellent for making plans, putting goals into words and verbalizing boundaries.
Here are the aspects Mercury in Capricorn will make:
Jan 8th: square Mars in Aries (4 deg)
Jan 13th: conjunct Saturn (12 deg)
Jan 18th: conjunct Pluto (21 deg)
Jan 20th: trine Juno in Taurus (23 deg)
Jan 22nd: conjunct the South Node (26 deg)
Jan 22nd: square Pallas in Libra (26 deg)
Jan 23rd: square Uranus in Aries (28 deg)
Jan 23rd: sextile Chiron in Pisces (28 deg)
Jan 23rd: sextile Ceres in Scorpio (29 deg)
Jan 24th: Aquarius ingress
January 4th, 2019: Radical Words and a Grand Water Trine
Photo by Misael Garcia from Pexels
Mercury in Sagittarius trine Uranus Rx in Aries (28 deg)
Venus in Scorpio trine the Cancer North Node (26 deg)
Sun in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces (14 deg)
Mercury/Uranus
Mercury’s freedom-inducing trine to Uranus is a final burst before it enters restrictive Capricorn later today. Uranus amplifies Mercury in Sag’s view of possibilities (and bluntness) by adding innovation and a touch of controversy. Excellent for leaps of logic and radical honesty, which you can then focus once Mercury enters Capricorn.
Uranus is Rx – are you returning to a past issue of liberation or creativity? Does something need to be expressed? Perhaps now is the time to put it into words.
Note that this trine can help you look beyond yesterday’s hurtful Mercury/Chiron square – no matter what went down, there are always new and better options ahead.
Venus/North Node
Venus in Scorpio trine the North Node is part of an ongoing Grand Water Trine that I discussed in this week’s horoscopes:
“January 1st to 5th features yet another Grand Water Trine involving Chiron in Pisces and the Cancer North Node. It was activated from November 6th to 8th (by Jupiter in Scorpio) and on November 20th (by the Sun in Scorpio). Now Venus in Scorpio reactivates the potential to address weaknesses and vulnerabilities (Chiron) while moving forward into new emotional territory (North Node). Venus is about relationships, values, finances and self-esteem, so these areas can flow nicely. The North Node will be key – step into a new area that demands emotional honesty and vulnerability.”
Venus in Scorpio is about the deepest possible commitment to what you want or who you love (including yourself). This will involve an uncomfortable amount of honesty, but the rewards will include forward movement (North Node) to a place where your needs are honoured. This is about tuning into what you want and need, and the flow of the trine ensures that this will happen naturally. Meaning, if it doesn’t feel right and move forward without effort, it’s not meant to be.
Sun/Neptune
This influence will be fairly quiet – Neptune will whisper that there are other possibilities beyond current rules and status. Sun in Capricorn can (if you’re aware – this influence will be easy to ignore) gently add warmth to a dream or a belief and allow you to make it real. Nothing dramatic mind you (sorry, no lottery wins).
Overall, I’d say this is a day for being honest with yourself, on an intellectual and emotional level. The trines will make it easy – all you have to do is go with it.
