Overview

On January 10th, the Capricorn Sun squares Uranus in Aries, and squares Jupiter in Libra on January 11th. This volatile mix of disruption and expansion leads up to the January 12th Full Moon in Cancer. Results and endings will hit quickly, with feelings that run the gamut from joy to tears. Pluto in Capricorn’s wide opposition to the Moon increases the intensity, and permanent change. Ceres’ proximity to Uranus suggests the cycle of nurturing, loss and rebirth will accelerate.

This Moon will make an inconjunct to Saturn/Juno in Sagittarius, indicating tense reminders of commitments/limits that can’t be avoided. However, the Moon will also trine Chiron in Pisces, presenting a healing outlet for those feelings. This will be the time to let it all out, whether you want to or not. 

Venus conjoins Neptune in Pisces on January 12th, suggesting a removal of all limits regarding what you want or have. The dream relationship/job/opportunity can arrive. But “removal of limits” can also dissolve what you were hoping for. Which scenario will it be? You should have a sense by now if you’ve been pouring your energy into an illusion or reality. Either way, it will happen without a struggle – it will be yours easily and effortlessly, or it will slip away.

Also on January 12th, Mercury (direct as of January 8th) reenters Capricorn. Here are the reassuring (or at least, realistic) facts that will help you process this Full Moon. You know what you hear or learn will be absolute truth. Mercury’s reviews and examinations (since it stationed Rx on December 19th) has been working hard to draw your attention to commitments and definitions that stand the test of time. 

Aries

The Full Moon in your domestic sector brings home and family matters to a peak. Issues may include expansion of your home situation, via a new family member, live-in partner, relocation, home improvement or home business. Or, there may be a quick exit, in which case the expansion will involve your freedom. Uranus/Ceres in your sign suggest an unexpected rebirth or change in nurturing patterns. A change in career path, or push for external power, ups the stakes. At the same time, you’ll be dealing with a frustrating law, rule or limit. Despite the upheaval, you should also feel a sense of relief as something hidden is finally addressed. 

Venus/Neptune in your hidden sector suggests a background potential (romantic, creative or ultimate goal) has ripened and is ready to manifest. Or, this could be the exhale as something unsustainable dissolves. As Mercury returns to your career sector, you’ll have a clear idea about your next step regarding work, future plans or professional image. Mercury will help you see the past’s impact on your future.  

Taurus

The Full Moon in your communication sector suggests an answer, discussion or realization will increase your sense of urgency, regarding improvements/progress that must happen ASAP. You may feel pressured to respond to an announcement or matter involving education, travel or legal issues. Too, this could be the moment you officially commit, with all the intense nervousness that entails. An emotional public acknowledgement will be in the mix, and the open discussion will feel good. However, background pressure due to financial or relationship limits will be on your mind- there’s something you can’t avoid. 

Venus/Neptune in your social sector suggest a romantic/creative peak, shared with friends (a wedding, public relationship or artistic launch). The dream has become real, and you’re inviting others to partake with you. If the dream is revealed to be an illusion, that will be public as well. No matter what happens, Mercury’s return to your sector of opportunities puts your sights squarely on the future, with a heightened sense of new possibilities and a realistic plan of action. 

Gemini

The Full Moon in your sector of personal resources hi-lights finances and personal values. Earnings, savings or expenses can increase suddenly, as you juggle unexpected growth or a shift in priorities. There may be a tremendous push to take a chance or put yourself out there. New romance or unexpected developments in an existing partnership may also be featured, with some tension involving joint goals or commitments. A fear or vulnerability involving career/future goals can be addressed in the process. 

Venus/Neptune in your career sector suggests dream-job potential, or an idealized future goal. Whether it bears fruit or disappoints depends on your current situation, but this will be a result, not a new development. Mercury’s return to your sector of shared resources sees you looking at next steps involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. Now is the time to decide if you should invest more, invest less or pay what you owe. 

Cancer

The Full Moon in your sign can jolt you with an external power play, competition, hostility or high expectations. You could feel pushed to react before you have time to process, but this has been building for awhile. It may be time to make those changes (in your career, professional image or future path) that you’ve been contemplating. While you’ll have to be quick on your feet, there will also be routines and obligations to attend to. This may feel unfair, but watch for an opportunity to expand your influence, or favourably address a legal/ethical matter. 

Venus/Neptune in your opportunities sector says this is a peak moment for a social or creative ideal. Something you’ve been reaching for is right in front of you. Despite the challenges this Full Moon will bring, there’s a chance for you to see your faith rewarded. Of course, much depends on how you respond to the challenges, and the fact that you won’t be in complete control. Mercury’s return to your partnership sector adds progress in an ongoing relationship discussion. Too, Mercury can solidify a compromise or agreement, provided you keep calm- “grace under pressure” is your mantra. 

Leo

The Full Moon in your hidden sector can yank an issue out of the shadows. A flash of illumination will reveal a secret or something you’ve been avoiding. Health, work, co-worker relationships or daily obligations may be themes. A brilliant idea or conversation may be the catalyst, and while there’s potential for you to make some gains, make sure you ground yourself in the current reality. A contract or romantic attraction has some built-in limits that you’ll have to acknowledge. Fortunately, there’s lots of room for private emotional release, whether the outcome is favourable or not. 

Venus/Neptune in your sector of shared resources suggests a peak moment of intimacy or merging. Too, this can be a peak moment to go into debt or spend extravagantly, if you’re not careful. Venus/Neptune urges you to complete immerse yourself in a relationship or financial investment, but you’ll have to discern if it’s in your best interests. Mercury’s return to your sector of routine can help, as you’ll have a clearer sense of what you must do, immediately. This is a feet-on-the-ground influence, with essential tasks, facts and improvements made unmistakably clear. 

Virgo

The Full Moon in your social sector can indicate a public launch/event, or culmination with friends/groups. This could be your chance to shine. On the other hand, you may feel tremendous pressure from others. Events will move quickly, and you will feel a bit uncomfortable with the exposure. Your finances can shift quickly as well, with a sudden gift/earning opportunity, or unexpected expense. Domestic responsibilities will be a constant reminder, and you may feel obligated to honour a family agreement (even though it conflicts with other activities).  Fortunately, a partner or close friend is there to support you. 

Venus/Neptune in your relationship sector can indicate a time of unconditional love in an existing partnership, or a dream-come-true vibe in a new relationship. For some, you or your partner may be asked to make a sacrifice. Mercury’s return to your sector of self-expression keeps you focused on what’s best for you – there’s a personal goal or creation that you’re striving for, and now you’ll have the facts.  Mercury can also indicate progress or enhanced understanding regarding a new attraction or issue involving children/pregnancy. 

Libra

The Full Moon in your career sector indicates a surprising result involving future goals, your professional image or relationship with management. Jupiter in your sign can deliver a new job, promotion or reward for your efforts. A relationship can accelerate in a surprising direction. But if your current track is not the best one for you, there can be an abrupt ending that forces you to reevaluate your goals (professional or personal). Either way, you’ll also be dealing with a contract, or verbal/written agreement that reminds you of your commitments. Any change will be in your best interests, as it will allow you to improve a health or work situation that’s been draining you. 

Venus/Neptune in your sector of routine can indicate a truly selfless act of service/sacrifice. Be careful with this – there will be no compensation, and you can easily give until you have nothing left. Too, this aspect can indicate a moment where you realize your ultimate goal, involving work, helping others, or making a necessary lifestyle change. Mercury’s return to your domestic sector adds a confirmation regarding family discussions, plans to relocate, or facts about a home business. 

Scorpio

The New Moon in your sector of opportunities illuminates travel, education, legal matters, publishing or official announcements. You can cross the finish line in one of these areas before you know what’s hit you. There may be a lucky break or previously unforeseen development that gifts you with something special. This Moon can open up new possibilities that make you feel more confident, even as you confront insecurities about a creative project or romantic attraction. Finances will offer a spot of tension, as you juggle limits/a previous commitment, with new developments. 

Venus/Neptune in your sector of self-expression suggests a magical attraction or peak moment of creativity. Romance, celebration and indulgence are emphasized. A dream can go public, and your image can be enhanced. Too, escape and denial can be tempting. Mercury’s return to your communication sector delivers an answer, fact or conversation that’s been in the works since December. 

Sagittarius

The Full Moon in your sector of shared resources can trigger intense feelings, making you feel out of control. And, events during this Moon will be beyond your control. Issues with debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy can sweep over you suddenly, impacting your security (this will be true, even if the events are positive). There could be a sudden gain or loss, with profound consequences.  You may be dealing with the urge (or necessity) to give/spend everything. Saturn/Juno in your sign remind you of a responsibility, partnership commitment or official contract – you’ll have to honour this while dealing with your personal security issues. On the plus side, a gain or loss can release a childhood wound, or pain that’s rooted in family tradition. 

Venus/Neptune in your domestic sector suggests a loving release or sacrifice related to family. Too, there can be moments of unconditional love with someone who’s closest to you. Mercury’s return to your sector of personal resources helps you approach it all with a sharper sense of what’s essential, on a financial or emotional level. If finances have changed, Mercury can help you plan for the new reality.

Capricorn

The Full Moon in your partnership sector marks a relationship culmination that is sure to be dramatic, fast-moving and public. Feelings will run high, whether there’s a joyous event or ending. You’ll find yourself quickly tossed into a new chapter, with a whole new future in front of you. Background reminders of restrictions or promises will add a thread of tension, as you wonder how those will play out. Discussions should offer some compassionate release, no matter what happens – a new understanding, apology or acceptance can feel soothing. 

Venus/Neptune in your communication sector suggests a dream-come-true conversation, or a gentle realization about what you want. In general, all communication will make it easier for you to reach out and relate to (or charm) others. Intuition and empathy will also be high. Mercury’s return to your sign adds even more power to your communication skills, as you receive the information you’ve been waiting for. 

Aquarius

The Full Moon in your sector of routine offers a conclusion involving health, medical issues, work routines or obligations. News can be delivered quickly, and what you learn will have a profound impact on your current routines, regime and self-care/nurturing. The flash of clarity can make you feel better, although the tension between these changes and commitments to others can increase your anxiety. Travel, education or legal matters may be part of the mix. 

Venus/Neptune in your sector of personal resources suggests changes will also involve a shift in your earning patterns. It may be time to let go of what you can’t sustain, while embracing a newer, gentler approach to security. For some, there may be an opportunity to increase earnings, if the new path is aligned with an ultimate goal you’ve been working towards. Mercury’s return to your hidden sector indicates events will trigger a closer look at what’s behind the scenes, and what really matters (perhaps you’ve been avoiding this). 

Pisces

The Full Moon in your sector of self-expression can signal an exciting launch, new romance or personal goal. Children/pregnancy could also be featured. This Moon could be fulfilling and confidence-building, although you may receive a bit more than anticipated. If there’s a loss or abrupt reality-check, it will happen quickly. Either way, there will be a bit of tension as you strive to adjust personal goals/emotional fallout with professional commitments. The trine to Chiron in your sign promises easier integration of events, no matter what happens. 

Venus/Neptune in your sign can see your big dream become possible. Romance, creativity or lifestyle/personal image can receive a surge of wide-open possibilities. Even if this Full Moon delivers something that is not to your liking, Venus/Neptune suggests this is still your moment to transcend it and reach for more. Mercury’s return to your social sector helps you put events into a larger context, plan for the future, or (finally) make the necessary social connections.

Overview

Venus enters Pisces on January 3rd, infusing love, money, resources and personal values with magic. Possibilities expand and boundaries fall away. This can lead to beautiful moments, or moments of sacrifice. As Mercury Rx backs into Sagittarius on January 4th, developments triggered by Venus will encourage a second look at promises, ideals and expectations. 

January 7th sees a Sun/Pluto conjunction in Capricorn. The spotlight will be on power, control/fear of losing control, and intense meetings. A Venus/South Node conjunction on the same day suggests that reaching back into the past for a relationship culmination (or release) will be part of the mix. As Mercury stations direct in Sagittarius on January 8th, you will have gathered enough insight to advance with the truth. 

Aries

Venus into your hidden sector/Mercury Rx into your sector of opportunities, frees up undefined possibilities. A second chance with situations involving travel, education, legal issues or publishing can reveal what you overlooked. Too, the truth behind a story/promise may be under review.

In some cases, there will be a sense of relief as you finally let go of what could never be. 

Sun/Pluto in your career sector spotlights power and domination. This could be your moment to take control, or you could experience the power that someone else has over you. Venus/South Node give these events a familiar feeling – your interactions with someone (business, romantic or both) will be repeats, even if this is the first time you’ve met them (in this life). Pay attention to the power dynamics in the relationship. It may be necessary for one person to have authority, but the key will be how that authority is exercised. Watch for background manipulations, or the sense that there’s more to this relationship than you see on the surface. 

Taurus

Venus into your social sector can open up new social/networking connections, or add an emotional vibe to friendships and group activities. Love and empathy can expand, and you may be compelled to make a selfless offer. Meanwhile, Mercury Rx into your sector of shared resources suggests that financial or relationship reviews will be happening beneath the surface. You may return to a previous conversation about the ethics of what’s shared, given or owed. New social prompts can trigger a deeper look at intimacy. As Mercury station direct, intensive discussions will reveal what you need to know. 

Sun/Pluto in your sector of opportunities can hi-light more ethical issues, involving education, travel, legal matters or publishing.

Too, Venus/South Node can signal the public culmination of a past relationship issue. It may be time to openly acknowledge something. 

Gemini

As Mercury stations direct, reviews of joint goals, commitments or promises will result in progress. Looking closely at a belief about the other person may be key. 

Sun/Pluto unites in your sector of shared resources, and issues around debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy will be pronounced.

Venus over the South Node can put you in touch with someone from the past, who has a significant impact on your career and future goals. External relationships, or a noticeable shift in your professional image, will be related to internal changes that Sun/Pluto stirs up. You can experience power, authority and status in a relationship, on all levels. 

Cancer

Venus into your sector of opportunities signals favourable developments in long-distance romance, education, legal matters, publishing or exploration. Too, you could feel a pull to sacrifice something for an ideal or cause. Meanwhile, Mercury Rx into your sector of routine triggers a review of health or work issues. Venus’ new developments will be viewed via revisions of mundane details or obligations. Before you proceed further, you’ll have to address immediate corrections. Make sure you’re not undermining yourself with guilt. Mercury direct can present the solution, or end to delays, in work/health matters. 

Sun/Pluto in your partnership sector spotlights changes in your love life, or a specific change in the life of your partner. Themes will include a redefinition of partnership or a a restructuring of boundaries and responsibilities. Don’t let fear hold you back – this transformation is essential.

Too, an ideal/hope could reach a point where it’s time to define it, or let it go.  

Leo

Venus can increase what you receive, spend or give. She can also indicate there’s more between you and another, although you’ll have to double-check boundaries.

Along with Venus, a romantic connection or issue involving performance/art can be renewed. Too, it may feel good to invest everything – just make sure you’re not setting yourself up for a loss. As Mercury goes direct, the situation may shift again, due to a change of heart. 

Sun/Pluto in your sector of routine hi-lights a health or work issue. Power imbalances with co-workers, or with someone you’re obligated to serve, may be an issue. Too, unavoidable medical changes, or changes in your work routine, could be an issue. Venus/South Node adds in a specific dynamic about giving/receiving, on an emotional, physical or financial level. It could be time to change or enhance your personal routines, so you’re open to what you really want to receive. Your goal is to enhance your independence and security, even if you’re becoming deeply involved with someone. 

Virgo

Venus into your partnership sector, and Mercury Rx into your domestic sector, can revive a past domestic/family issue, with an emphasis on appropriate give and take. How much is too much, and how much is driven by a sense of sacrifice? Love and compromise can increase, which will make it easier to address past issues. A surge of empathy (or guilt) can push you to revisit a family issue. As Mercury goes direct, family discussions can see progress, and there will be an end to delays involving relocation, renovations, home business or a domestic relationship. 

Sun/Pluto in your sector of self-expression spotlights what you really want, and what you have to do to get it. Attraction, creative work, or issue involving children/pregnancy can claim all your attention, and Venus/South Node suggests the time is ripe. A new romance with a fated feeling can be powerfully compelling, or an existing relationship can manifest something you’ve been longing for. In some cases, you may experience an an ending, as you’re confronted with the need to let go of a fantasy or attraction that’s been weakening you. Either way, the goal is to define your highest potential (with someone special, or on your own).

Libra

Venus into your sector of routine adds a touch of ease and cooperation to co-worker relationships, obligations, work tasks and health issues. It should be easier to get the help you need, although you may be less inclined to follow a strict routine. You can also find it way too easy to give and give and give  – pay attention to self-care and energy reserves. Mercury Rx into your communication sector suggests returning to a past conversation, answer or detail, to confirm the truth. Too, you may have to put plans/work tasks on hold, although Mercury direct should signal progress (while urging you to make a decision).

Sun/Pluto in your domestic sector spotlights a significant change in home and family life – this could involve a relocation, reconstruction or transformation in the home life of you or your parents. Venus/South Node suggests this will also involve a health issue or responsibility, as you release or move forward with something that’s been absorbing all your love and compassion. You may have to confront issues of imbalance, around how much you’ve giving (or sacrificing). Too, this could be the moment you move forward with a dream job, and make it your ultimate goal. 

Scorpio

Venus into your sector of self-expression adds energy to a personal desire or dream. A new romance, creative project, or issue involving children/pregnancy can progress favourably, and Mercury Rx into your sector of personal resources can see you making adjustments to finances/personal values, in response. You may have an opportunity to revisit a salary discussion/source of income. Too, going back over a conversation/decision about what you must have can be fruitful, as you realign your values with emerging possibilities. 

Sun/Pluto in your communication sector can deliver a powerful message, declaration or awareness. Venus/South Node suggests this will be connected to an attraction with a fated feeling, or an opportunity to manifest something you’ve been hoping for. You may be able to go public or gain a wider audience. Too, it may be time to release a fantasy and take a hard look at how a longed-for achievement holds up in the public light. 

Sagittarius

Venus into your domestic sector brings quiet moments of love and sweetness to home and family matters. Turning inwards to concentrate on those closest to you may be a theme, and Mercury Rx into your sign suggests you’ll be thinking carefully about this. You may revisit a conversation, decision or choice. You may also have to look carefully at conflicting/confusing information, or how much love/empathy you can afford to give. Don’t rush things. Once Mercury stations direct, you’ll have a clearer sense of what “forward” means.

Sun/Pluto in your sector of personal resources illuminates a reality about finances or personal values. A habit is ready to be broken, or a dependency is ripe for removal. Too, a major expense or shift in allocation of resources could be featured. Venus/South Node ties this into an issue (family, childhood, parents) that must be dealt with. You have a future to build, but first, something from the past is ready to be released with love, compassion and some sadness. For some, these influences could indicate an opportunity to expand on a home business.

Capricorn

Venus into your sector of communication graces all contacts, conversations and your general outlook, with gentle optimism. Messages can be be laced with love, flirtation or simple affection.

There could be a goodbye, or opportunity to move forward with a relationship or creative development. 

Aquarius

Venus into your sector of personal resources can bring a new source of income, or an enhanced sense of well-being. There may be a chance to expand on what you have, although it will also be tempting to spend freely or give your money to someone who needs it. Mercury Rx into your social sector suggests a repeat conversation with someone who asks for more, or clues you into an opportunity. Check their story carefully. Too, you may reconnect with a friend from the past, or revise social plans in light of new financial/emotional developments. As Mercury stations direct, you’ll be able to move forward with new social goals or make a public announcement. In some cases, you will step away from someone. 

Sun/Pluto in your hidden sector emphasizes a simmering background development. There’s something in the works (the next phase of your new life?) and this influence can deliver a moment of clarity or confirmation. In some cases, you may experience a secret power play, or discover that someone has more invested than you realized. Venus/South Node connects hidden developments with an external moment of gain and loss. The fear of losing what you have (or never had) could be an underlying threat, but at the same time, there will be a chance to embrace something more. Developments with money, relationships or personal values will urge you to come to terms with old security fears, and make room for something deeper, richer and more sustaining. 

Pisces

Venus into your sign can boost your powers of attraction, and your desire to escape. Venus can also encourage you to let go and give yourself/your resources completely  – make sure the recipient deserves what you’re offering. Mercury Rx into your career sector connects you with a previous job, an old boss, or past conversation with management. There may be a revision of your career goals, as Venus urges you to focus on something that makes you happier (or something that appears more attractive). Mercury direct will line you up with career opportunities, or indicate a decision to move on to something better. 

Sun/Pluto in your social sector can hi-light a public power play, or intense moment with a friend or group. Venus/South Node suggests a person from your past, or a new contact with a familiar feeling, can trigger profound changes. This could be a romantic attraction, or a very intense friendship/business partnership. Either way, the purpose is to define your role in one-on-one dynamics. You have more power than you realize, including the ability to choose a partnership dynamic that is an improvement over the past.
