  • Moon in Aquarius sextile Uranus in Aries (28 deg)

  • Moon Void of Course in Aquarius (28 deg 11:52 am EST)

  • Moon enters Pisces and VOC ends (2:43 pm)

  • Moon in Pisces square Venus in Sagittarius (2 deg)

Just before the Aquarius Moon goes VOC, its sextile to Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) offer a gentle shot of liberation and the need to do your own thing. This aspect will not encourage crazy or risky behaviour – rather, it’s a manageable surge of independence. You can sail through the VOC feeling good about being you with no need to answer to anyone.

As the Moon enters transcendent Pisces and squares Venus, the energy shifts to dreamy urgency – now there may be an increased desire to love, give or connect with others. Venus in Sag is still about freedom, but it’s the freedom to have what you want, with no limits. There’s always a desire for much more.

The square can make this a bit demanding and you may seek out more than is available. Too, this can be an aspect of overindulgence. It can still feel quite pleasant, but be aware that what you want may not be easily achieved or realistic.

Overall, not a grounded day as liberation shifts into fantasy. However, for some this can be quite positive if they work with the innovative and hopeful energies (fears are easily ignored).

January 8th, 2019: Mercury in Capricorn Square Mars

by  •

  • 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The square always draws our attention to what must be changed, so either the rules are outdated or the upstart challenge needs to be smacked down and boundaries reinforced.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?

January 6th, 2019: Uranus Direct in Aries

  • Uranus stations direct at 28 deg Aries

Uranus direct continues the forward momentum that Mars into Aries and the January 5th New Moon eclipse started.

Uranus exited Aries for Taurus on May 15th, 2018 but then (due to its retrograde) re-entered Aries on November 6th, 2018. Since November, you may have experienced more shocks or shake -ups as any remaining areas of your life that needed to be liberated were given a kick.

Now you’re moving forward, as the last vestiges of the past have been burnt away. Watch for progress in an area requiring courage, initiative or brand new beginnings (perhaps dating all the way back to May 27th, 2010, when Uranus first entered Aries).

There will be a sense of urgency as Uranus powers through the last degrees of Aries, making its final exit on March 6th, 2019. In some cases, what began around May 2010 could end (this would only happen if the situation was meant to be your catalyst for change and nothing more). If something is leaving, you can’t stop it. If you feel increasing detachment from your current situation, this is timely. If your past is rapidly diminishing in the rearview mirror, this too is timely.

As you look back to 2010, consider how far you’ve come. What have you freed yourself from and where has your courage taken you?

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.

January 4th, 2019: Radical Words and a Grand Water Trine

by  •

  • 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.
