Overview

February 13th sees Mars (action, anger) conjoin Uranus in Aries, for a volatile spark or explosion. Events will hit suddenly and the urge for freedom will be overpowering. The opposition to Pallas in Libra indicates that this will involve an ending or abrupt reversal of a social/relationship strategy. Pallas in Libra is about the polite battle or harmonious solution, but opposite Mars/Uranus we see that the time for politeness is over (for better or worse). On the plus side, Mars/Uranus is always honest.

On February 14th, Mars enters Taurus and the pace of events will slow down. Taurus’ fixed, earthy energy will put the brakes on the Mars/Uranus explosion, ensuring that your next steps are deliberate. Mars in Taurus is about patience and slow, sustained effort.

On February 17th, Venus in in Capricorn makes a sextile to Neptune and conjoins Saturn on February 18th. This will activate January 31st’s Saturn/Neptune sextile:

“Saturn and Neptune make the first of three sextiles this year. Form (Saturn) harmonizes with what dissolves (Neptune) form for subtle but effective energy… nd, you can make certain dreams real.

But Saturn and Neptune together also imply some kind of sacrifice. Specifically, Saturn’s reality puts limits on Neptune’s dreams. Even though the sextile is a harmonious aspect, there will still be a small sacrifice required to get what you want. You will have to work extra hard and give something up in order to create. You will have to be patient and serene but also disciplined.”

Venus conjunct Saturn suggests reaching a limit regarding relationships, finances or values. What you want/love may be defined or restricted and Neptune’s energy ensures that there will be a small sacrifice. You might make this sacrifice gladly, or not.

Aries

Mars/Uranus in your sign opposite Pallas can trigger an abrupt change in or break from a relationship/relationship strategy. Your sudden move can pull another off balance – compromise will be very difficult (and you may not be interested in compromise at all). As Mars enters your sector of personal resources, you’ll be looking at you first – what you have to do to increase your financial and emotional security.  

Venus in your career sector activates the Saturn/Neptune sextile. Watch for a sharply defined new beginning involving a job, your professional image or a professional relationship. There could be increased responsibility (as a reward) or a professional threshold that’s crossed, with consequences. Whether you gain something or confront a limit, know that that this is about more than your status or achievements (even if this is the manifestation of a professional dream). 

Taurus

Mars/Uranus in your hidden sector opposite Pallas suggests an unforeseen surge of anger or impatience regarding a work or health strategy. You’ll be motivated to bring things to an end or move in the opposite direction of what’s been prescribed/suggested. A co-worker relationship could be abruptly rocked. As Mars enters your sign, what was hidden/private will go public as you move forward with your own interests. Mars can gift you with ambition and drive.

Venus in your opportunities sector activates the Saturn/Neptune sextile. Watch for the manifestation of an ideal or belief in the areas of long-distance romance, travel, education, legal matters or publishing. You may confront the realities of what you can’t have in these areas, or the rules you must follow. In some cases, a relationship, graduation or achievement may be formalized. Even if what you’re dealing with is quite personal, you’ll be aware of how others are impacted.

Gemini

Mars/Uranus in your social sector opposite Pallas suggests an upsetting or shocking argument with friends, or surprising social actions. The issue will be very public and may disrupt strategies for attention or celebration. Too, you may receive more attention than you bargained due to your impatience. As Mars enters your hidden sector, the above events may cause you to pull back or take your next step in private. 

Venus in your sector of shared resources activates the the Saturn/Neptune sextile as you confront a firm boundary regarding shared finances or intimacy. A private issue or relationship may be clearly defined, or you may become aware of exactly what responsibilities are yours regarding financial or emotional sharing. Ideals regarding future goals will factor into this, suggesting a sacrifice for long-term goals. This can also refer to a deep commitment that takes into account a career dream or higher ideal. 

Cancer

Mars/Uranus in your career sector opposite Pallas suggests surprising professional incidents, expressions of ambition or an abrupt move (such as leaving a job) that propels you away from an outdated situation. You may be pushed to react in a way that jolts your professional reputation while upsetting the balance of domestic/family plans. As Mars enters your social sector, you can slow down and take stock of what happened while fortifying your friends, allies and public connections. 

Venus in your partnership sector activates the Saturn/Neptune sextile. Watch for a firm relationship commitment or boundary that clearly defines what your partner wants. A new beginning will involve concrete expressions of love and values. If this is an ending, your partner’s love/values will still be clearly expressed in the form of a reality check. Either way, this will involve the manifestation of beliefs that are bigger than the two of you. Plans involving travel, education, religion or legal matters may factor in. 

Leo

Mars/Uranus in your opportunities sector opposite Pallas suggests a risk or jarring development in the areas of travel, education, legal matters or publishing. A sudden move, accident or expression of anger will disrupt a previously harmonious communication strategy. You may learn something that completely reverses your opinion. As Mars enters your career sector, your focus will shift to solid ambitions – steady, patient forward movement is key to manifesting progress on the job. 

Venus in your sector of routine activates the Saturn/Neptune sextile. Watch for a heavy responsibility or defined role/obligation in the areas of work or health. An area of improvement or prioritization can feature your commitment to helping someone, with undertones of sacrifice or release. This is a selfless influence that demands you give something up or give more than you have in the past. There’s no room for resentment. 

Virgo

Mars/Uranus in your sector of shared resources opposite Pallas can trigger abrupt actions or expressions of anger/passion in an intimate relationship or regarding shared finances. A shot of clarity or a surprising break from the past can disrupt your plans for security – you may have to scramble to come up with a new way of looking after yourself. Financial discussions can change abruptly. Too, this can be about asserting yourself with another in a new way. As Mars enters your opportunities sector, you’ll be reaching further, but with caution. Mars can encourage you to manifest security with new and unexplored sources. 

Venus in your sector of self-expression activates the Saturn/Neptune sextile. An issue involving a new attraction, creative work, children or attempts to attract attention can manifest a solid result or present a barrier. What you do receive will come with a serving of reality. This is the moment to take yourself seriously and consider if others value and appreciate you. A relationship/attraction will not just be about fun and flirtation- you’ll be looking at what you give away to others or how you can manifest a real union that reflects your ideal. 

Libra

Mars/Uranus in your relationship sector opposite Pallas in your sign indicates a surprising move by a partner, or a sudden attraction, that disrupts your strategies. Another can open your eyes to new plans or completely disrupt your attempts at harmony. As Mars enters your sector of shared resources, watch for an intensification of efforts or sexual energy as the imbalance created by Mars/Uranus forces you to dig beneath the surface. At this point, it may feel as if someone else is making all the moves or has the control – know that you still have a choice in how you react. 

Venus in your domestic sector activates the Saturn/Neptune sextile, emphasizing a home/family responsibility, commitment or boundary. Domestic relationships will be clearly defined along with certain practical obligations (perhaps involving health, illness or service to others). This is about doing what’s necessary, or concrete expressions of love and loyalty. In some cases, a relationship can mark a firm boundary between past and present. 

Scorpio

Mars/Uranus in your sector of routine opposite Pallas suggests that abrupt developments involving health, work or your daily life can free you from old scenarios or propel you forward into a new chapter of self-care, work or obligations to others. Behind-the-scenes strategies will be disrupted, or there may be an ending that’s hidden from others. As Mars enters your relationship sector, watch for the actions of another to take precedence. Mars can see you and a partner working together to build something solid. Or, a partner’s stubborn insistence can challenge you. 

Venus in your communication sector activates the Saturn/Neptune sextile. A verbal/ written commitment or official document may be featured, involving a relationship, finances or the expression of your values. What you want will be seriously defined along with the potential to manifest a desired objective (creative or romantic). However, know that significant responsibilities will accompany this and you may have to experience a delay or denial to get what you want. 

Sagittarius

Mars/Uranus in your sector of self-expression opposite Pallas can see you abruptly pursing a romantic/creative goal, taking a risk or doing something for attention/recognition. You’ll be feeling passionate and ready to cut loose, but be aware that your actions will disrupt a social strategy, your social image or a friendship. And perhaps that’s what you want. Efforts to gain public attention may not go exactly as planned. As Mars enters your sector of routine you’ll be focused on working to make a health or daily goal happen- Mars can gift you with energy, determination and the resilience to tackle mundane necessities. 

Venus in your sector of personal resources activates the Saturn/Neptune sextile, confronting you with a reality involving earned money or self-esteem. At this point you’ll know exactly what you want but you may experience limits around this. Extra work may be required to earn, or a scenario may push you to strengthen your boundaries and define your core values. Consider how the past or family issues contribute to sacrifices you may have to make in order to stabilize yourself. 

Capricorn

Mars/Uranus in your domestic sector opposite Pallas can trigger a sudden breakdown, relocation, family argument or break from the past. Abrupt actions or a break with tradition will be connected to disagreements about future goals or a change in career strategy. A change in job/job loss is also possible. As Mars enters your sector of self-expression, watch for opportunities to solidify something desirable or create(especially after breaking with family tradition). Mars in this sector can also increase self-indulgence (perhaps as way of coping with the sudden change). 

Venus in your sign activates the Saturn/Neptune sextile. The manifestation of a desired objective (involving finances, relationships or self-esteem) is a possibility, and so is a confrontation with inescapable realities around these situations. Watch for a serious new beginning. Thoughts and words can be made real, but even if this is something you want you’ll have to deal with less freedom. Nonetheless, this aspect is excellent for clearly defining your primary values and focusing on what matters most. 

Aquarius

Mars/Uranus in your communication sector opposite Pallas can trigger a sudden argument, announcement or decision that upsets a strategy involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. You may abruptly speak out or receive some galvanizing news that makes it impossible to maintain a previous facade. As Mars enters your domestic sector, you’ll be focusing on building a more secure foundation or taking action with family – the pace will slow down and you may become mired in the past or in fixed family dynamics. 

Venus in your hidden sector activates the Saturn/Neptune sextile, hinting at a background loss, sacrifice or necessary obligation. You’ll be working on building security or defining your values, but something may have to end or be released. In some cases, a secret wish can become more defined. 

Pisces

Mars/Uranus in your sector of personal resources opposite Pallas suggests surprising events involving earned money, values or self-esteem. You could be motivated to act suddenly as you pursue what you want or stand up for yourself. However, this will rock the boat as strategies involving shared finances, a relationship or intimacy are disrupted. There could be anending as you suddenly exercise your independence. As Mars enters your communication sector you’ll be looking at how you can align words with actions. Mars in this sector gives your words extra power and encourages you to walk your talk. 

Venus in your social sector activates the Saturn/Neptune sextile (including Neptune in your sign) hi lighting a significant social commitment or friendship/group connection. Your public reputation can be solidified or there may be consequences due to previous behaviour. Certain social ideals can manifest, but the ultimate goal here is not personal gain – you’ll be aware of larger responsibilities or what you have to give up in order to confirm a social relationship. In some cases, your reputation as someone who assists/guides others can be confirmed.

Overview

New Moon

The February 4th Aquarius New Moon conjoins Mercury and Black Moon Lilith. As discussed in this post:

“Here we have a new beginning that features information/communication about the dark lady. 

BML in Aquarius is the taboo woman who does her own thing. She rebels against all the “shoulds” and makes most people uncomfortable because she is atypical…

In Aquarius, her outsider status is emphasized as is her tendency to draw people’s attention to uncomfortable but truthful subjects. Conjunct Mercury and this New Moon, we might expect a shot of disruptive clarity about a very uncomfortable subject.”

The above energy is supported by Jupiter in Sagittarius, so controversy and freedom should be delivered with relative ease. Nonetheless, remember that BML always has an uncomfortable message and some people simply do not react well to her.

Mars Square The Nodes

On February 9th Mars in Aries squares the South Node in Capricorn and North Node in Cancer. A square to the Nodes is a pivotal, troublesome issue. Mars is actions, anger and passion, so we can assume that the expression of these energies will bring you to a crossroads – stick with old, limiting rules (South Node) or move forward towards what feels right and honest (North Node). The Sun/BML conjunction on this day directly connects this to the New Moon themes, specifically the illumination of what’s different, uncomfortable and freeing.

Mercury and Juno

On February 10th, Mercury in Aquarius squares Juno in Taurus. The fixed partnership agreement (Juno) will be challenged by unusual details or requests (Mercury). Mercury enters Pisces and Juno enters Gemini on the same day and the disagreement will continue, although it will morph. Mercury in Pisces is ill-defined, intuitive and creative. Juno in Gemini is about multiple choices. These two will square each other again on March 24th and April 14th, as Mercury’s Rx in Pisces (March 5th) extends the discussion.

Watch for ongoing tensions between newly emerging but unclear details versus shifting facts in a relationship agreement.

Aries

The New Moon in your social sector can accelerate a controversial public announcement or boost your desire to speak out/take a public risk. You’re in a good position to deliver knowledge or learn more regarding a taboo issue or unusual sexual/gender dynamics involving a friend or your public image. 

Mars in your sign square the Nodes introduces a pivotal point of action – you may have to choose between moving towards traditional rules/definitions of success or energizing a domestic matter that is more in line with your inner needs. The Sun’s conjunction to BML illuminates issues from the New Moon – this could be about breaking away from old expectations or what society says is “correct.”

Mercury in your social sector square Juno can trigger public discord about a financial agreement or partnership that involves your values/self-esteem. Disruptive information will challenge set definitions of security, and as Mercury enters your hidden sector and Juno enters your communication sector, you may pull back to gather more information or take a private look at various options. What seemed to be carved in stone (regarding a financial or emotional commitment) may now become more fluid with additional disagreements on  March 24th and April 14th (due to Mercury’s Rx).

Taurus

The New Moon in your career sector can trigger a surprising discussion with management or illuminate some disruptive information regarding gender dynamics at work. Too, this could be about welcoming new approaches to your job or professional image. Behind-the-scenes assistance or an intuitive sense that you’re on the right track can encourage you to explore a new and unusual career path. 

Mars in your hidden sector square the Nodes suggests hidden motivations can stir up restlessness. You’ll have a sense that you need to decide between an official decision regarding education, travel, legal matters or publishing versus an idea that is more personal to you. The Sun’s conjunction to BML ties in the New Moon themes- you may be looking at a future path that puts you on the fringe, but it feels right. 

Mercury in your career sector square Juno in your sign suggests some discord with a partner over your career path, or some disruption in a professional agreement. Fixed ideas will be challenged by new information, and as Mercury enters your social sector and Juno enters your sector of personal resources, watch for expanded choices regarding security, money and values – the agreement may be less defined but you’ll also have a wider perspective regarding what’s essential. However, increased options can lead to more challenges as you juggle various choices – watch for more disagreements on March 24th and April 14th (due to Mercury’s Rx).

Gemini

The New Moon in your sector of opportunities can open your eyes to information that’s  a bit shocking. Legal, publishing, educational or foreign issues might be involved. Too, you could be spreading your controversial views to a wider audience. However, the news should be received in a receptive manner thanks to support from a partner or your ability to phrase things in a way that touches others on a personal level. Watch for new developments in a partnership that broadens your perspective of what’s possible. 

Mars in your social sector square the Nodes suggests social actions or arguments will bring you to a turning point – you may have to choose between sticking with old dependencies/restrictions (financial or intimate) or moving forward to a place where you can look out for yourself and develop internal security. The Sun/BML conjunction ties into the New Moon themes – watch for the emphasis of a belief or lesson about controversial women’s or sexual issues. 

Mercury in your opportunities sector square Juno suggests private or unspoken agreements can be challenged by new information. What broadens your perspective may not sit well with a commitment that’s undefined. As Mercury enters your career sector and Juno enters your sign watch for more open-ended questions to emerge about this agreement. On the one hand, you may be more willing to compromise or accept multiple options (and you’ll be talking about it openly now). But you’ll also be dealing with tension between this and professional goals, plans or conversations. This will lead to to more challenges on March 24th and April 14th (due to Mercury’s Rx). 

Cancer

The New Moon in your sector of shared resources can trigger increased liberation regarding a financial or intimate connection between you and another. What you share can be openly discussed in a way that supports an unusual degree of freedom as you explore some powerful sexual dynamics. 

Mars in your career sector square the Nodes (including the North Node in your sign) asks you to choose a path of independence, strength and ambition. This is about you taking power into your hands and energizing your professional goals. The Sun/BML conjunction ties in the New Moon themes – consider who really has the power in the deeper levels of a relationship. Or, perhaps you’re tapping into previously unexplored sources of sexual or financial independence. 

Mercury in your sector of shared resources square Juno can raise questions about financial control that’s shared with another, or intimate details. Social/public agreements may challenge private details, and as Mercury enters your sector of opportunities and Juno enters your hidden sector, this tension may shift as the agreement itself is obscured but the details become public. Your quest for more knowledge and options can open up new possibilities, but tension will continue on  March 24th and April 14th (due to Mercury’s Rx).

Leo

The New Moon in your partnership sector hi-lights a conversation or realization about a partner’s independence or controversial behaviour. Too, this could be about you attracting or projecting taboo sexual issues, although overall this energy can be quite  exciting. A new attraction can be fun and unusual.

Mars in your opportunities sector square the Nodes suggests that a risk, exploration or fight for an ideal can bring you to a turning point- you’ll have to choose between sticking with old/limiting health and work habits or freeing yourself and pursuing an ultimate dream that’s emotionally satisfying on a profound level. Travel, education, legal matters or publishing may be triggers. The Sun/BML conjunction illuminates a key figure – a challenging woman who reflects what you really want or who confronts you with what you need to break away from. 

Mercury in your partnership sector square Juno raises relationship disagreements – a partner (business or personal) may challenge a professional agreement or commitment about your future goals. As Mercury enters your sector of shared resources and Juno enters your social sector, the discussion may take a back seat but the tension will still be there. Watch for social prompts and choices to triggers challenging, behind-the-scenes discussions about money or intimacy. March 24th and April 14th will be key dates (due to Mercury’s Rx)

Virgo

The New Moon in your sector of routine can trigger disruptive awareness about an error or radical solution to a work/health issue. A change is needed in these areas (including your daily routine) and part of the change will involve the acknowledgement of uncomfortable topics or radical reappraisals of a co-worker relationship or your attempts to help/improve. In some cases, self-improvement may require a dramatic overhaul that involves your independence or awareness of certain gender dynamics. Watch for a reassuring boost from home and family. 

Mars in your sector of shared resources square the Nodes suggests that actions involving shared finances, intimacy or buried anger will push you to acknowledge your place in the public or your emotional connections to friends/the group. This is about stepping forward and creating emotional connections with others. This can make you feel uncomfortable as someone else may push you forward, but ultimately it’s the right path. 

Mercury in your sector of routine square Juno suggests that the details of work or health issues will clash with a larger commitment (involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing). A big-picture agreement will not be in line with certain practical facts, and as Mercury enters your partnership sector and Juno enters your career sector, watch for the tension to shift to partnership versus career/future goals. The ideas of another will cause tension with various professional options that are presented to you. At the same time, a partner’s thoughts can be frustratingly vague. March 24th and April 14th will be key dates (due to Mercury’s Rx) – this discussion will shift back and forth as details ebb and flow. Don’t expect quick solutions. 

Libra

The New Moon in your sector of self-expression can jump start a hot and slightly dangerous attraction, or encourage you to express an honest but controversial part of yourself. This influence can be an attention-grabber and confidence booster, especially when it comes to what you have to say. All communication associated with this Moon may have a cheeky edge because you’ll feel like you can say almost anything. 

Mars in your partnership sector squares the Nodes makes a relationship issue pivotal. An attraction or the actions of a partner may push you as you’re compelled to acknowledge future goals, an ambition or an approach to success that pulls you away from old traditions. The Sun/BML conjunction says that this is about you standing up and letting others see a part of you they may not like or agree with. Sexual dynamics or freedom in a creative context may be an issue, as well as what you’re willing to do to succeed. 

Mercury in your sector of self-expression square Juno suggests that open demands or controversial expressions may challenge private agreements involving money or intimacy. Freedom versus commitment or possession may be an issue, and as Mercury enters your sector of routine and Juno enters your opportunities sector, watch for the disagreement to shift to mundane details versus broader choices. The specifics of the agreement may become vague and you could have difficulty nailing down one choice. This may feature travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Watch for tension to continue through March 24th and April 14th (due to Mercury’s Rx).

Scorpio

The New Moon in your domestic sector hi-lights an area where you may be different from the rest of the family, or where you’re breaking with tradition and expressing female/sexual energy in a way that liberates you from the past. Watch for an illuminating discussion. While the revelations may shake up tradition, this can paradoxically increase your security and self-esteem. In mundane issues, this Moon is excellent for domestic finances or earnings for a home business. 

Mars in your sector of routine square the Nodes puts you on notice that actions involving work or health are crucial. It’s time to step way from restricting definitions about what’s correct and move towards a routine/self-care that’s more in line with what you feel. It may be uncomfortable to step outside your comfort zone and you will need to take a leap of faith (this could even involve relocation). The Sun/BML conjunction ties this into the New Moon and illustrates how this move forward is about you owning something you previously felt rejected for.  

Mercury in your domestic sector square Juno hi-lights disagreements with a domestic partner. A partner’s fixed ideas about a commitment may clash with your new information or push for liberation. As Mercury enters your sector of self-expression and Juno enters your sector of shared resources, you’ll continue to communicate more openly, which may clash with behind-the-scenes agreements. Your thinking and communicating will become free-floating and emotional, and this will run up against difficult financial or intimate issues.  March 24th and April 14th will be key dates (due to Mercury’s Rx). 

Sagittarius

The New Moon in your communication sector can reveal some shocking info or see you speaking out about a taboo but truthful issue. The sextile to Jupiter in your sign indicates that you’ve got optimism, energy and excellent timing on your side. Even the most difficult topics can be given a positive spin. Plus, you’ll have the confidence to move forward with this. 

Mars in your sector of self-expression square the Nodes says that a new attraction, creative effort, celebration or issue with children will push you to look more closely at who you’re intimately involved with, what you share and who you trust. This is about pooling your resources in a way that enhances your security. The Sun/BML conjunction ties this in with the New Moon themes- authentic self-expression and independence can enhance a trusting relationship if you’re opening up to the right person (and if you’re in tune with your deeper needs). 

Mercury in your communication sector square Juno can trigger disagreements about mundane health or work details. Your innovative ideas may clash with what a partner thinks is right, and as Mercury enters your domestic sector and Juno enters your partnership sector, the discussion may shift to home and family matters. Things can become more personal but also more vague as relationship choices morph, along with your ideas. March 24th and April 14th will be key dates (due to Mercury’s Rx). 

Capricorn

The New Moon in your sector of personal resources can trigger your awareness of what has to be done in order to earn or survive. There may be information about an unusual way to earn money or a non-negotiable expression of true values and independence. Watch for hidden but uplifting support in the form of intuitive confidence or background assistance. 

Mars in your domestic sector square the Nodes (including the South Node in your sign) urges you to step away from certain domestic or family traditions that may be holding you back. Your path forward involves a more emotional connection to a partner or allowing yourself to be more vulnerable and authentic to those closest to you, via an equitable exchange of feelings. Sun/BML ties in the New Moon themes by illuminating your unique values or a path to self-esteem that others may not agree with. 

Mercury in your sector of personal resources square Juno can stir up tension in a partnership agreement as your must-have specifics clash with romantic or creative expectations. Areas of disagreement may include children, freedom or finances. As Mercury enters your communication sector and Juno enters your sector of routine, the conversation will continue but it won’t be smooth going- you may have difficulties clarifying the terms of the agreement as practical issues shift and multiple layers are revealed. March 24th and April 14th will be key dates (due to Mercury’s Rx) when the disagreement peaks. 

Aquarius

The New Moon in your sign introduces an awareness, announcement or conversation where you express a controversial but authentic part of yourself. Despite the risks of alienating others, you should find support from friends, a group or the public in general. This is a prime moment to show others who you really are, especially if it involves self-expression that breaks social and relationship rules. 

Mars in your communication sector square the Nodes triggers an argument or subject that you feel passionately about. You’ll have to choose between holding back and obeying hidden rules versus putting your feeling out there and making them part of your daily life. The Sun/BML conjunction in your sign says this is all about you being you, no matter what others think. Taboo expressions of gender, sexuality or female independence may be themes. 

Mercury in your sign square Juno sees your independent words stirring up conflict at home/with family as you “break” fixed agreements. As Mercury enters your sector of personal resources and Juno enters your sector of self-expression, you’ll discover more options regarding security and the expression of your values, but you’ll still have to navigate multiple (and uneasy) choices regarding romance or self-expression. March 24th and April 14th will be key dates (due to Mercury’s Rx).

Pisces

The New Moon in your hidden sector can stir up a secret or background issue that’s still too controversial to be discussed openly. However, external optimism or support can buoy you along, giving you reasons to see hope in the future. In some cases, a new career path or issues at work can encourage the gradual emergence of what’s hidden. 

Mars in your sector of personal resources square the Nodes can trigger emotional or financial survival issues. Your next step may require you to move away from social rules and expectations towards a path that’s aligned with what you really need. Sun/BML suggests this involves shining a light on part of you that wants to be seem, but may make others uncomfortable. 

Mercury in your hidden sector square Juno suggests hidden disagreements regarding a fixed commitment. What was written or discussed is not stable, and as Mercury enters your sign and Juno enters your domestic sector, the disagreements will come out into the open. You’ll be communicating your side of things even as the tension continues and you cycle through various choices (family/domestic concerns may be issues). March 24th and April 14th will be key dates (due to Mercury’s Rx).

Watch for new developments in a partnership that broadens your perspective of what’s possible. 

Mars in your social sector square the Nodes suggests social actions or arguments will bring you to a turning point – you may have to choose between sticking with old dependencies/restrictions (financial or intimate) or moving forward to a place where you can look out for yourself and develop internal security. The Sun/BML conjunction ties into the New Moon themes – watch for the emphasis of a belief or lesson about controversial women’s or sexual issues. 

Mercury in your opportunities sector square Juno suggests private or unspoken agreements can be challenged by new information. What broadens your perspective may not sit well with a commitment that’s undefined. As Mercury enters your career sector and Juno enters your sign watch for more open-ended questions to emerge about this agreement. On the one hand, you may be more willing to compromise or accept multiple options (and you’ll be talking about it openly now). But you’ll also be dealing with tension between this and professional goals, plans or conversations. This will lead to to more challenges on March 24th and April 14th (due to Mercury’s Rx). 

Cancer

The New Moon in your sector of shared resources can trigger increased liberation regarding a financial or intimate connection between you and another. What you share can be openly discussed in a way that supports an unusual degree of freedom as you explore some powerful sexual dynamics. 

Mars in your career sector square the Nodes (including the North Node in your sign) asks you to choose a path of independence, strength and ambition. This is about you taking power into your hands and energizing your professional goals. The Sun/BML conjunction ties in the New Moon themes – consider who really has the power in the deeper levels of a relationship. Or, perhaps you’re tapping into previously unexplored sources of sexual or financial independence. 

Mercury in your sector of shared resources square Juno can raise questions about financial control that’s shared with another, or intimate details. Social/public agreements may challenge private details, and as Mercury enters your sector of opportunities and Juno enters your hidden sector, this tension may shift as the agreement itself is obscured but the details become public. Your quest for more knowledge and options can open up new possibilities, but tension will continue on  March 24th and April 14th (due to Mercury’s Rx).

Leo

The New Moon in your partnership sector hi-lights a conversation or realization about a partner’s independence or controversial behaviour. Too, this could be about you attracting or projecting taboo sexual issues, although overall this energy can be quite  exciting. A new attraction can be fun and unusual.

Mars in your opportunities sector square the Nodes suggests that a risk, exploration or fight for an ideal can bring you to a turning point- you’ll have to choose between sticking with old/limiting health and work habits or freeing yourself and pursuing an ultimate dream that’s emotionally satisfying on a profound level. Travel, education, legal matters or publishing may be triggers. The Sun/BML conjunction illuminates a key figure – a challenging woman who reflects what you really want or who confronts you with what you need to break away from. 

Mercury in your partnership sector square Juno raises relationship disagreements – a partner (business or personal) may challenge a professional agreement or commitment about your future goals. As Mercury enters your sector of shared resources and Juno enters your social sector, the discussion may take a back seat but the tension will still be there. Watch for social prompts and choices to triggers challenging, behind-the-scenes discussions about money or intimacy. March 24th and April 14th will be key dates (due to Mercury’s Rx)

Virgo

The New Moon in your sector of routine can trigger disruptive awareness about an error or radical solution to a work/health issue. A change is needed in these areas (including your daily routine) and part of the change will involve the acknowledgement of uncomfortable topics or radical reappraisals of a co-worker relationship or your attempts to help/improve. In some cases, self-improvement may require a dramatic overhaul that involves your independence or awareness of certain gender dynamics. Watch for a reassuring boost from home and family. 

Mars in your sector of shared resources square the Nodes suggests that actions involving shared finances, intimacy or buried anger will push you to acknowledge your place in the public or your emotional connections to friends/the group. This is about stepping forward and creating emotional connections with others. This can make you feel uncomfortable as someone else may push you forward, but ultimately it’s the right path. 

Mercury in your sector of routine square Juno suggests that the details of work or health issues will clash with a larger commitment (involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing). A big-picture agreement will not be in line with certain practical facts, and as Mercury enters your partnership sector and Juno enters your career sector, watch for the tension to shift to partnership versus career/future goals. The ideas of another will cause tension with various professional options that are presented to you. At the same time, a partner’s thoughts can be frustratingly vague. March 24th and April 14th will be key dates (due to Mercury’s Rx) – this discussion will shift back and forth as details ebb and flow. Don’t expect quick solutions. 

Libra

The New Moon in your sector of self-expression can jump start a hot and slightly dangerous attraction, or encourage you to express an honest but controversial part of yourself. This influence can be an attention-grabber and confidence booster, especially when it comes to what you have to say. All communication associated with this Moon may have a cheeky edge because you’ll feel like you can say almost anything. 

Mars in your partnership sector squares the Nodes makes a relationship issue pivotal. An attraction or the actions of a partner may push you as you’re compelled to acknowledge future goals, an ambition or an approach to success that pulls you away from old traditions. The Sun/BML conjunction says that this is about you standing up and letting others see a part of you they may not like or agree with. Sexual dynamics or freedom in a creative context may be an issue, as well as what you’re willing to do to succeed. 

Mercury in your sector of self-expression square Juno suggests that open demands or controversial expressions may challenge private agreements involving money or intimacy. Freedom versus commitment or possession may be an issue, and as Mercury enters your sector of routine and Juno enters your opportunities sector, watch for the disagreement to shift to mundane details versus broader choices. The specifics of the agreement may become vague and you could have difficulty nailing down one choice. This may feature travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Watch for tension to continue through March 24th and April 14th (due to Mercury’s Rx).

Scorpio

The New Moon in your domestic sector hi-lights an area where you may be different from the rest of the family, or where you’re breaking with tradition and expressing female/sexual energy in a way that liberates you from the past. Watch for an illuminating discussion. While the revelations may shake up tradition, this can paradoxically increase your security and self-esteem. In mundane issues, this Moon is excellent for domestic finances or earnings for a home business. 

Mars in your sector of routine square the Nodes puts you on notice that actions involving work or health are crucial. It’s time to step way from restricting definitions about what’s correct and move towards a routine/self-care that’s more in line with what you feel. It may be uncomfortable to step outside your comfort zone and you will need to take a leap of faith (this could even involve relocation). The Sun/BML conjunction ties this into the New Moon and illustrates how this move forward is about you owning something you previously felt rejected for.  

Mercury in your domestic sector square Juno hi-lights disagreements with a domestic partner. A partner’s fixed ideas about a commitment may clash with your new information or push for liberation. As Mercury enters your sector of self-expression and Juno enters your sector of shared resources, you’ll continue to communicate more openly, which may clash with behind-the-scenes agreements. Your thinking and communicating will become free-floating and emotional, and this will run up against difficult financial or intimate issues.  March 24th and April 14th will be key dates (due to Mercury’s Rx). 

Sagittarius

The New Moon in your communication sector can reveal some shocking info or see you speaking out about a taboo but truthful issue. The sextile to Jupiter in your sign indicates that you’ve got optimism, energy and excellent timing on your side. Even the most difficult topics can be given a positive spin. Plus, you’ll have the confidence to move forward with this. 

Mars in your sector of self-expression square the Nodes says that a new attraction, creative effort, celebration or issue with children will push you to look more closely at who you’re intimately involved with, what you share and who you trust. This is about pooling your resources in a way that enhances your security. The Sun/BML conjunction ties this in with the New Moon themes- authentic self-expression and independence can enhance a trusting relationship if you’re opening up to the right person (and if you’re in tune with your deeper needs). 

Mercury in your communication sector square Juno can trigger disagreements about mundane health or work details. Your innovative ideas may clash with what a partner thinks is right, and as Mercury enters your domestic sector and Juno enters your partnership sector, the discussion may shift to home and family matters. Things can become more personal but also more vague as relationship choices morph, along with your ideas. March 24th and April 14th will be key dates (due to Mercury’s Rx). 

Capricorn

The New Moon in your sector of personal resources can trigger your awareness of what has to be done in order to earn or survive. There may be information about an unusual way to earn money or a non-negotiable expression of true values and independence. Watch for hidden but uplifting support in the form of intuitive confidence or background assistance. 

Mars in your domestic sector square the Nodes (including the South Node in your sign) urges you to step away from certain domestic or family traditions that may be holding you back. Your path forward involves a more emotional connection to a partner or allowing yourself to be more vulnerable and authentic to those closest to you, via an equitable exchange of feelings. Sun/BML ties in the New Moon themes by illuminating your unique values or a path to self-esteem that others may not agree with. 

Mercury in your sector of personal resources square Juno can stir up tension in a partnership agreement as your must-have specifics clash with romantic or creative expectations. Areas of disagreement may include children, freedom or finances. As Mercury enters your communication sector and Juno enters your sector of routine, the conversation will continue but it won’t be smooth going- you may have difficulties clarifying the terms of the agreement as practical issues shift and multiple layers are revealed. March 24th and April 14th will be key dates (due to Mercury’s Rx) when the disagreement peaks. 

Aquarius

The New Moon in your sign introduces an awareness, announcement or conversation where you express a controversial but authentic part of yourself. Despite the risks of alienating others, you should find support from friends, a group or the public in general. This is a prime moment to show others who you really are, especially if it involves self-expression that breaks social and relationship rules. 

Mars in your communication sector square the Nodes triggers an argument or subject that you feel passionately about. You’ll have to choose between holding back and obeying hidden rules versus putting your feeling out there and making them part of your daily life. The Sun/BML conjunction in your sign says this is all about you being you, no matter what others think. Taboo expressions of gender, sexuality or female independence may be themes. 

Mercury in your sign square Juno sees your independent words stirring up conflict at home/with family as you “break” fixed agreements. As Mercury enters your sector of personal resources and Juno enters your sector of self-expression, you’ll discover more options regarding security and the expression of your values, but you’ll still have to navigate multiple (and uneasy) choices regarding romance or self-expression. March 24th and April 14th will be key dates (due to Mercury’s Rx).

Pisces

The New Moon in your hidden sector can stir up a secret or background issue that’s still too controversial to be discussed openly. However, external optimism or support can buoy you along, giving you reasons to see hope in the future. In some cases, a new career path or issues at work can encourage the gradual emergence of what’s hidden. 

Mars in your sector of personal resources square the Nodes can trigger emotional or financial survival issues. Your next step may require you to move away from social rules and expectations towards a path that’s aligned with what you really need. Sun/BML suggests this involves shining a light on part of you that wants to be seem, but may make others uncomfortable. 

Mercury in your hidden sector square Juno suggests hidden disagreements regarding a fixed commitment. What was written or discussed is not stable, and as Mercury enters your sign and Juno enters your domestic sector, the disagreements will come out into the open. You’ll be communicating your side of things even as the tension continues and you cycle through various choices (family/domestic concerns may be issues). March 24th and April 14th will be key dates (due to Mercury’s Rx).

Overview

On January 29th the Aquarius Sun forms a superior conjunction to Mercury. In the Sun/Mercury cycle this is a culmination – the ultimate in clarity and (due to Aquarius’ energy) there may be a few surprises as well. But what you see or hear should be liberating and truthful, and will be related to the November 27th Sun/Mercury conjunction in Sagittarius, which was a new beginning. 

February 1st sees a hard square between Mars in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn. Pluto intensifies Mars’ anger and assertiveness in a discordant way, as hidden motivations trigger external actions that may be hostile, aggressive or manipulative. Use care with this one. 

On February 2nd Venus in Sagittarius forms a liberating trine with Uranus in Aries, which can encourage a few risks or attraction to something new and unusual. There’s opportunity here but on February 3rd Venus runs into a hurtful square with Chiron in Pisces, which suggests the previous liberation could trigger some hurt feelings or areas of insecurity.

A few hours later (also on February 3rd) Venus enters Capricorn, and relationships, money and self-esteem issues become very practical and focused. This shift can help you move past the Venus/Chiron square as Capricorn is all business. This transit is about what’s best for you and the work needed to get it. Venus in Cap is strong, ambitious and committed – nothing gets to her and she gets what she wants.

Aries

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your social sector illuminates a message or messenger in the guise of a friend, public contact or information from social media. This can be a surprising but clarifying bit of knowledge that opens your eyes to a wider perspective and acts as a conclusion to what began on Nov 27th  – a new opportunity/lesson involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. 

Mars in your sign square Pluto can push you to act aggressively or challenge you with someone else’s power. A struggle for dominance may occur – use caution if your job or professional reputation is involved. 

Aspects to Venus in your opportunities sector (including the trine to Uranus in your sign) encourage you take some risks or look for something intriguing in the areas of long-distance romance, education, travel, legal matters or publishing. What’s unexplored can be very tempting, but watch for hidden weak spots that can undermine your values or see you stumbling into a risky situation. Go slow and explore with caution. Venus’ entrance into your career sector can ground you with increased awareness of the rules/necessities around your professional image, a professional relationship or the benefits of a certain position. 

Taurus

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your career sector delivers a clarifying and liberating answer, conversation or announcement related to future goals, a job or discussion with management. This will be connected to new insight delivered on Nov 27th involving debts, taxes, deeper psychological issues or intimacy. What began behind the scenes can now become public as you apply deeper knowledge to your career goals. 

Mars in your hidden sector square Pluto suggests secret anger, frustration or actions stirred up by a power play or attempt to dominate. Manipulation can be your worst enemy, especially if you’re not fully aware of what’s going on behind the scenes or what your true motivations are.

Aspects to Venus in your sector of shared resources can promise new and innovative developments in the areas of shared finances or intimacy. You may be ready to take a risk, and this freeing influence can liberate you from old issues. However, watch for social issues to trigger hurt feelings or a sense of inadequacy, especially if your expectations (and you partner’s expectations) are not clearly outlined. Be especially cautious with debts. Venus’ move into your opportunities sector can open your eyes to the bigger picture while focusing you on the most strategic way to get what you want. Travel, education, legal matters or publishing are areas where new possibilities beckon. 

Gemini

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your opportunities sector illuminates an answer, lesson or confirmation of a belief involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. This will be connected to what began on Nov 27th – a discussion or realization in a partnership. Now this Sun/Mercury conjunction takes it further or allows you (and another) to realize the full potential of what was discussed. 

Mars in your social sector square Pluto suggests volatile public actions or eruptions of anger. Issues with friends, groups or your public image can be troublesome as buried motivations or power issues stir up tension. Move carefully when dealing with others. 

Aspects to Venus in your partnership sector suggest new developments in a relationship (including a new attraction) can be exciting and liberating, but you’ll also encounter trouble spots involving your professional reputation or issues of success/future goals. What a partner wants, or who you end up attracting, can hi-light an area of insecurity. As Venus enters your sector of shared resources, your attention will be drawn to issues beneath the surface of a partnership. You’ll become focused on strategic financial issues or mutual boundaries involving who shares/owes what. 

Cancer

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your sector of shared resources casts a light on something that was obscured. This may involve debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. There could be a difficult but clarifying conversation that’s based on what began on Nov 27th – the reveal of a flaw, adjustment or correction in the areas of work of health. 

Mars in your career sector square Pluto triggers power struggles and intense expressions of ambition or competition. A partner or competitor can push you further than you want to go, or they may trigger aggressiveness and obsessive forward movement. Ambition is good but make sure that you’re not at the mercy of someone else’s motivations – ensure that your actions are based on where you want to go. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of routine can open up new solutions or assistance in the areas of work and health. But doubts and weaknesses can also be revealed as you move past your comfort zone. Change is here but take note of any discomfort you feel or flaws you come across. Too, you may encounter resentment or hurt feelings as your service is not fully appreciated. As Venus enters your partnership sector, watch for a more balanced expression of give and take. A partnership can improve as focused issues of love, affection and strategic giving are emphasized. 

Leo

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your partnership sector signals an important discussion or answer. Clarity is here, along with the full realization of what your partner wants and feels (this will probably involve issues of freedom and independence). This will be connected to what began on Nov 27th – a spark that first lit an exciting new attraction, some flirtatious words or bold self-expression. Now you’ll see the results. 

Mars in your sector of opportunities square Pluto can stir up tension or risk in the areas of travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Be very careful if you’re travelling or stepping into an unknown area – you may be inspired to fight for an ideal or take a risk, but this potent energy can backfire if you’re not fully aware of the motivations involved. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of self-expression can encourage you to put yourself out there, celebrate or take an unusual risk to get what you want. But as you step into the spotlight (or experience an attraction) you’ll also confront insecurities and buried wounds. You may discover that not everyone thinks you’re all that, or that your own doubts about talent/self-esteem can undermine your efforts. As Venus enters your sector of routine, the energy can shift to a more helpful, practical vibe as you focus on exactly what needs to be done to get what you want. Self-improvement can be greatly enhanced. 

Virgo

Sun/Mercury in your sector of routine hi lights a solution or area of improvement involving work or health. What needs to be attended to will be very clearly revealed, and will be related to what began on Nov 27th – a discussion or discovery of information from the past involving home, family or childhood. Now you’ll see the practical results. 
Mars in your sector of shared resources square Pluto can stir up dark passions, simmering anger or control issues involving money or psychological difficulties. Old habits or buried anger/possessiveness can be triggered, and someone else may dominate you as you realize you don’t have full control over what’s happening. Know that you don’t have to be at the mercy of another – you can always say “no” or step back. 

Aspects to Venus in your domestic sector can encourage you to move away from the past or add something new/unusual to your home or home business. Too, there could be an increased feeling of freedom as you express love/affection to family members. However, a domestic partnership (or memories of a past relationship) can trigger some sore spots. A partner’s sensitivity or your own trip down memory lane can confront you with old wounds. As Venus enters your sector of self expression, the mood will shift to a more confident, celebratory vibe. You may become focused on what you want or what you can create as you get serious about your talents, attractiveness or right to express yourself. 

Libra

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your sector of self-expression can trigger a daring moment when you speak out about someone you’re attracted to, or put your creative efforts on public display. Too, you may hear good news or exciting, flirtatious words. This will be a result of what began on Nov 27th-a conversation, introduction or message that made you aware of what else was possible.  

Mars in your relationship sector square Pluto suggests intense, angry or volatile reactions from a partner. Watch for the actions of others to be pushy or domineering, although the initial reasons may not be totally clear. 

Aspects to Venus in your communication sector suggest daring or exciting verbal exchanges with someone- words/messages will have an unusual edge, but you may find that along with the risk comes some bruised feelings or a sense of increased vulnerability (or awareness of your perceived flaws). Use caution when communicating and be aware that sensitivities will be heightened. As Venus enters your domestic sector your focus will shift to more insular, personal matters related to the past, home, family or a domestic relationship. 

Scorpio

Sun/Mercury in your domestic sector sheds light on an issue from the past, a family discussion or information about a home business/buying/selling/renting. This will be about freeing yourself from some aspect of the past and will be connected to what began on Nov 27th- a discussion or realization about earned money, self-esteem or values. 

Mars in your sector of routine square Pluto can encourage you to push through a problem or physical barrier, but it can also indicate injury or a power imbalance (where you discover there’s far too much on your plate). Frustrations about errors or the drive to improve can result in obsessive efforts. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of personal resources can bring a surge of confidence or a clue about a new source of income or new/bolder way to express what you want. However, you’ll also be made aware of insecurities related to money or values – what you’re missing or what you don’t have enough of. In some cases, you may feel undeserving as you confront a romantic or creative challenge. As Venus enters your sector of communication, focus on the facts about what you’ve got going for you and how you can make the most of this. Venus in this sector can encourage you to put your desires into words. 

Sagittarius

Sun/Mercury in your communication sector hi light a key conversation, realization or statement. There will be a reveal of an absolute truth – you can count on what you see or hear. It will be connected to what began on Nov 27th (the Sun/Mercury conjunction in your sign) -your new idea, introduction or announcement. 

Mars in your sector of self-expression square Pluto can trigger an obsessive attraction or urge to create, pursue what you want or show off your talents/creation. The drive for attention/satisfaction can be quite powerful, but be careful that you don’t push a situation beyond reasonable boundaries. 

Aspects to Venus in your sign can encourage a bit of risk as you show off a different side of yourself, but as you venture outside your comfort zone you’ll also encounter insecurities and wounds from the past. Doubts can undermine you or be exposed by new developments. As Venus enters your sector of personal resources, use the change in focus in concentrate on what has maximum value and how you can solidify emotional and financial situations that are in your bets interests. 

Capricorn

Sun/Mercury in your sector of personal resources delivers a clear answer or information regarding earned money, self-esteem or personal values. If you need to articulate a want or something involving your self-worth, this aspect is favourable. It will be connected to what began on Nov 27th – a hint, secret or unproven bit of info that needed to be further developed. 

Mars in your domestic sector square Pluto in your sign can trigger domestic disputes, changes/reconstruction at home or a forceful push to move away from the past. You’ll have a great deal of power and initiative, but be careful that this doesn’t manifest as controlling or all-or-nothing behaviour. 

Aspects to Venus in your hidden sector indicate the development of a secret desire, project or attraction. You may be encouraged to consider something new/unusual, but at the same time you’ll be dealing with insecurities or hurt feelings stemming from a sensitive conversation or touchy, ongoing topic. As Venus enters your sign, all that’s been held back will come out into the open- this includes what you really want and what’s really been bothering you. Venus in your sign can help you focus on what matters most while gifting you with charm and the ability to attract what you need, even as you deal with difficult, obscured issues. You may find that bringing something out into the light dissolves what you thought was a painful secret that couldn’t be overcome. 

Aquarius

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your sign delivers an answer, surprising realization or announcement. The facts will be in front of you and what you want to say will be crystal clear, so don’t hesitate to deliver your message. This will be connected to what began on Nov 27th- a new beginning involving friends, groups or your public image. At that time, a conversation or public announcement opened your eyes to what else was possible, and now you’re seeing the results. 

Mars in your communication sector square Pluto can trigger arguments, passionate words or an obsessive fixation on what must be said or discovered. You may push forcefully to deliver your message or find that you’re challenged by someone else’s words, and the true motivations will be hidden. Pay attention to what’s not being said or what you sense behind the hostility/anger. 

Aspects to Venus in your social sector can encourage the exploration of an unusual new attraction or group activity. A new interest may catch your attention and urge you to step outside your comfort zone, but you’ll also be confronting insecurities about your public image or relationships with others. Understand that these insecurities are based on old habits or lingering doubts that have no place in your life. As Venus enters your hidden sector, you may decide to step back and regroup, or focus on something behind the scenes. 

Pisces

Sun/Mercury in your hidden sector can illuminate a secret or background realization. This may be more of an instinctive understanding or undefined story, and it will be connected to what began on Nov 27th- a new career opportunity, discussion with management or idea about where your next step forward will lead. 

Mars in your sector of personal resources square Pluto can trigger survival issues involving money or self-esteem. A public issue can push you to stand up for yourself or you may feel threatened by unclear but hostile energy from others. Before you react, try to understand the full story, because all the motivations will not be out in the open. Be especially careful if money is involved. 

Aspects to Venus in your career sector (including the square to Chiron in your sign) can trigger a desire to branch out, add some flare to your professional image or explore a professional relationship. However, you’ll also be confronting insecurities and possible awkward consequences if you don’t pay attention to professional boundaries. Venus’ move into your social sector shifts the focus to your public image and strategic personal relationships that you can count on.

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your partnership sector signals an important discussion or answer. Clarity is here, along with the full realization of what your partner wants and feels (this will probably involve issues of freedom and independence). This will be connected to what began on Nov 27th – a spark that first lit an exciting new attraction, some flirtatious words or bold self-expression. Now you’ll see the results. 

Mars in your sector of opportunities square Pluto can stir up tension or risk in the areas of travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Be very careful if you’re travelling or stepping into an unknown area – you may be inspired to fight for an ideal or take a risk, but this potent energy can backfire if you’re not fully aware of the motivations involved. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of self-expression can encourage you to put yourself out there, celebrate or take an unusual risk to get what you want. But as you step into the spotlight (or experience an attraction) you’ll also confront insecurities and buried wounds. You may discover that not everyone thinks you’re all that, or that your own doubts about talent/self-esteem can undermine your efforts. As Venus enters your sector of routine, the energy can shift to a more helpful, practical vibe as you focus on exactly what needs to be done to get what you want. Self-improvement can be greatly enhanced. 

Virgo

Sun/Mercury in your sector of routine hi lights a solution or area of improvement involving work or health.

Mars in your sector of shared resources square Pluto can stir up dark passions, simmering anger or control issues involving money or psychological difficulties. Old habits or buried anger/possessiveness can be triggered, and someone else may dominate you as you realize you don’t have full control over what’s happening. Know that you don’t have to be at the mercy of another – you can always say “no” or step back. 

Aspects to Venus in your domestic sector can encourage you to move away from the past or add something new/unusual to your home or home business. Too, there could be an increased feeling of freedom as you express love/affection to family members. However, a domestic partnership (or memories of a past relationship) can trigger some sore spots. A partner’s sensitivity or your own trip down memory lane can confront you with old wounds. As Venus enters your sector of self expression, the mood will shift to a more confident, celebratory vibe. You may become focused on what you want or what you can create as you get serious about your talents, attractiveness or right to express yourself. 

Libra

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your sector of self-expression can trigger a daring moment when you speak out about someone you’re attracted to, or put your creative efforts on public display.

Mars in your relationship sector square Pluto suggests intense, angry or volatile reactions from a partner. Watch for the actions of others to be pushy or domineering, although the initial reasons may not be totally clear. 

Aspects to Venus in your communication sector suggest daring or exciting verbal exchanges with someone- words/messages will have an unusual edge, but you may find that along with the risk comes some bruised feelings or a sense of increased vulnerability (or awareness of your perceived flaws). Use caution when communicating and be aware that sensitivities will be heightened. As Venus enters your domestic sector your focus will shift to more insular, personal matters related to the past, home, family or a domestic relationship. 

Scorpio

Sun/Mercury in your domestic sector sheds light on an issue from the past, a family discussion or information about a home business/buying/selling/renting. This will be about freeing yourself from some aspect of the past and will be connected to what began on Nov 27th- a discussion or realization about earned money, self-esteem or values. 

Mars in your sector of routine square Pluto can encourage you to push through a problem or physical barrier, but it can also indicate injury or a power imbalance (where you discover there’s far too much on your plate). Frustrations about errors or the drive to improve can result in obsessive efforts. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of personal resources can bring a surge of confidence or a clue about a new source of income or new/bolder way to express what you want. However, you’ll also be made aware of insecurities related to money or values – what you’re missing or what you don’t have enough of. In some cases, you may feel undeserving as you confront a romantic or creative challenge. As Venus enters your sector of communication, focus on the facts about what you’ve got going for you and how you can make the most of this. Venus in this sector can encourage you to put your desires into words. 

Sagittarius

Sun/Mercury in your communication sector hi light a key conversation, realization or statement. There will be a reveal of an absolute truth – you can count on what you see or hear.

Mars in your sector of self-expression square Pluto can trigger an obsessive attraction or urge to create, pursue what you want or show off your talents/creation. The drive for attention/satisfaction can be quite powerful, but be careful that you don’t push a situation beyond reasonable boundaries. 

Aspects to Venus in your sign can encourage a bit of risk as you show off a different side of yourself, but as you venture outside your comfort zone you’ll also encounter insecurities and wounds from the past.

Capricorn

Sun/Mercury in your sector of personal resources delivers a clear answer or information regarding earned money, self-esteem or personal values. If you need to articulate a want or something involving your self-worth, this aspect is favourable. It will be connected to what began on Nov 27th – a hint, secret or unproven bit of info that needed to be further developed. 

Mars in your domestic sector square Pluto in your sign can trigger domestic disputes, changes/reconstruction at home or a forceful push to move away from the past. You’ll have a great deal of power and initiative, but be careful that this doesn’t manifest as controlling or all-or-nothing behaviour. 

Aspects to Venus in your hidden sector indicate the development of a secret desire, project or attraction. You may be encouraged to consider something new/unusual, but at the same time you’ll be dealing with insecurities or hurt feelings stemming from a sensitive conversation or touchy, ongoing topic. As Venus enters your sign, all that’s been held back will come out into the open- this includes what you really want and what’s really been bothering you. Venus in your sign can help you focus on what matters most while gifting you with charm and the ability to attract what you need, even as you deal with difficult, obscured issues. You may find that bringing something out into the light dissolves what you thought was a painful secret that couldn’t be overcome. 

Aquarius

The Sun/Mercury conjunction in your sign delivers an answer, surprising realization or announcement.

Mars in your communication sector square Pluto can trigger arguments, passionate words or an obsessive fixation on what must be said or discovered. You may push forcefully to deliver your message or find that you’re challenged by someone else’s words, and the true motivations will be hidden. Pay attention to what’s not being said or what you sense behind the hostility/anger. 

Aspects to Venus in your social sector can encourage the exploration of an unusual new attraction or group activity. A new interest may catch your attention and urge you to step outside your comfort zone, but you’ll also be confronting insecurities about your public image or relationships with others. Understand that these insecurities are based on old habits or lingering doubts that have no place in your life. As Venus enters your hidden sector, you may decide to step back and regroup, or focus on something behind the scenes. 

Pisces

Sun/Mercury in your hidden sector can illuminate a secret or background realization. This may be more of an instinctive understanding or undefined story, and it will be connected to what began on Nov 27th- a new career opportunity, discussion with management or idea about where your next step forward will lead. 

Mars in your sector of personal resources square Pluto can trigger survival issues involving money or self-esteem. A public issue can push you to stand up for yourself or you may feel threatened by unclear but hostile energy from others. Before you react, try to understand the full story, because all the motivations will not be out in the open. Be especially careful if money is involved. 

Aspects to Venus in your career sector (including the square to Chiron in your sign) can trigger a desire to branch out, add some flare to your professional image or explore a professional relationship. However, you’ll also be confronting insecurities and possible awkward consequences if you don’t pay attention to professional boundaries.

Overview

The January 20th/21st (depending on your time zone) Full Moon eclipse at 0 deg Leo draws our attention to matters of ego, appreciation, pride and public acknowledgement. The Sun (ruler of Leo) in Aquarius adds in the energies of detachment and individuation. Leo is passionate and Aquarius can be quite distant (which enables a more universal perspective). These contrasting themes will blend in a dramatic way, while Mars in Aries’ square to Saturn (January 21st) suggests strict limits on actions and the expression of anger or passion. 

So while this eclipse will illuminate a bold issue that demands attention, you may feel restricted in how you’re allowed to react. Or, you may encounter significant work that needs to be done in order to manifest what this eclipse promises. 

January 22nd presents a conjunction of Mercury and the Capricorn South Node – a message/messenger from the past delivers a strictly defined consequence. This is the formal commitment or ending, but Venus’ conjunction to Jupiter in Sagittarius on the same day presents a promise of expansion regarding something you want. Together, these aspects suggest an unavoidable reality or clear message that underlines a lovely opportunity. 

On January 23rd, Mercury squares Uranus in Aries then enters Uranus-ruled Aquarius on January 24th. The square to Uranus indicates a shocking message or realization which will then open your eyes to something bigger, more unusual and more freeing. Words/ideas will break through the limits. Note that Mercury will activate the Sun’s position (0 deg Aquarius) during the eclipse, so this breakthrough will be connected to what the eclipse illuminates.

On January 25th, the theme of breakthrough continues as Mars in Aries trines Jupiter in Sagittarius. After the restrictions of Mars/Saturn, Mars/Jupiter offers a shot of luck, freedom and open action. This suggests that the Mars/Saturn struggle will be worth it – the work, responsibility or discipline will push you past a block to a place where you can move ahead quickly and with optimism. 

Aries

The eclipse in your sector of self- expression can trigger a performance, new attraction, creation or moment where you decide to put yourself in the spotlight. A result may finalize something in these areas. Risky behaviour can be part of this vibe.  But Mars in your sign square Saturn reminds you of your professional responsibilities. You’ll have to go slow or deal with frustrating issues of authority and control, but the extra effort that’s demanded can also be an essential part of what you’re trying to create or express. In some cases, freedom of expression will have to be balanced with professional reputation. 

Mercury over the South Node in your career sector indicates an official document, conversation or decision that can finalize something about your work or future. A goodbye will be irreversible. But Venus/Jupiter in your opportunities sector suggests that part of what’s being finalized may involve an intriguing promise around education, long-distance romance, travel, legal matters or publishing. Watch for something big that you’ve attracted – just make sure your hopes are aligned with whatever realities Mercury/South Node has spelled out. 

Mercury’s square to Uranus in your sign and entrance into your social sector indicates a surprising shot of news or a decision that abruptly changes your future course. What you learn or decide will impact your friendships and social image – disruption may be essential for an update to who you associate with. Mars in your sign trine Jupiter continues this trend as you step forward into new territory (this was promised by the Venus/Jupiter conjunction). It’s time to act, because now that you’ve turned a corner on the Mars/Saturn square, you should experience more ease, luck and good timing. Your hard work could be rewarded. 

Taurus

The eclipse in your domestic sector delivers results at home/with family that involve domestic pride or your desire to express your true self within your family. A relocation, new future goal or dramatic shift in domestic priorities may also be featured. Meanwhile, Mars in your hidden sector square Saturn suggests open actions/anger may be very difficult, as you feel blocked or repressed. A struggle behind the scenes can drain some of your energy. 

Mercury over the South Node in your opportunities sector brings a final announcement, graduation or information from the past that wraps things up in the areas of education, legal matters, travel or publishing. Watch for proof of an ideal/belief. Venus/Jupiter in your sector of shared resources suggests that what’s being finalized can actually point to expansion (or a gift) on a deeper level- shared finances or intimacy can grow in a hopeful direction, although you’ll need to be cautious with boundaries or overspending. 

Mercury’s square to Uranus and entrance into your career sector suggests a shocking or illuminating truth that can either blow away what you learned or introduce you to a brand new lesson. This will inform your future/career goals. Mars in your hidden sector trine Jupiter suggests the Venus/Jupiter conjunction can progress nicely as private or instinctive actions flow smoothly and encourage deep intimacy or financial growth. The blocks/pressure of Mars/Saturn have passed, and there may be a release or private surge of confidence if you’ve overcome something that felt like punishment. 

Gemini

The eclipse in your communication centre delivers a dramatic message, decision or conversation. Words and ideas may be showy with a focus on personal beliefs and the freedom to express them. Meanwhile, Mars in your social sector square Saturn can put the brakes on a public announcement, your public actions or issues with friends. The open expression of anger or ambition may be denied as hidden rules/restrictions keep you in line. This can be a frustrating moment where you have to hold back or focus on public responsibilities. 

Mercury over the South Node in your sector of shared resources indicates a key discussion or realization about shared finances or intimacy. This could involve a formal financial document (involving a loan or taxes) or the clarification of a boundary between you and another. Too, you could be confronting uncomfortable knowledge from the past or from a buried psychological issue. Venus/Jupiter in your partnership sector suggests that a one-on-one relationship offers increased love or promise, so it’s possible that the background realities of Mercury/South Node will underline an extremely positive, external development. Perhaps a deep commitment or decision to end something encourages future growth. 

Mercury’s square to Uranus and entrance into your opportunities sector then suggests a shot of clarity involving deeper issues. A blast of insight can be disruptive but will also lead to a more expansive view of future possibilities. It’s time to look above and beyond your current issues, and Mars in your social sector trine Jupiter broadens the promise of one-on-one and group/public actions. Your efforts with friends/the public will encourage the development of a one-on-one connection which can in turn support your public efforts. After the frustrations of Mars/Saturn, this aspect suggests that close relationships can free you from any limits and even rehabilitate your reputation. 

Cancer

The eclipse in your sector of personal resources illuminates a result involving earned money, values or self-esteem. Pride and the ability to create these things for yourself will be the issue, as well as your freedom in the context of what you share or owe. Watch for a result that clarifies what you need or how you can bring more power to this area of your life. Mars in your career sector square Saturn focuses on a key area of ambition or issues with management. You may feel pressured or blocked by what you have to do, or what you can’t do. Extra work, or the rules/demands of a partner, can push you to take stock of your earnings and security, as well as how you respond to authority. 

Mercury over the South Node in your partnership sector hi-lights a key relationship conversation or decision from the past. Too, this could signify a defined set of mutual goals or a goodbye. Venus/Jupiter in your sector of routine suggests the above can also define an area of growth and hope around work methods, health or daily habits. Watch for a positive solution, diagnosis or significant offer of assistance. A relationship that involves an obligation can expand to reveal unexpected improvements.  

Mercury’s square to Uranus and entrance into your sector of shared resources suggests a surprising partnership discussion or realization will deliver a disruptive truth, which will then push you to look deeper at what you share, or at the hidden dynamics between you and another. Mars in your career sector trine Jupiter adds a positive flow between professional ambitions/actions and daily results. What you to do move ahead or energize your goals can have very favourable consequences in your daily life. This also suggests that the pressure of Mars/Saturn will ease as you discover a way to do more, or a loophole/solution that allows you to move forward. Honesty and a cards-on the-table discussion with a partner (business or professional) can be part of this. 

Leo

The eclipse in your sign can illuminate a key area of pride, recognition or power, especially regarding your relationship with another. A one-on-one connection can reflect important issues, so pay attention to the other person’s response to an ending or result (independence may be an issue). Watch for a turning point in a partnership or how others respond to you – this can clarify something about your ego. Meanwhile, Mars in your sector of opportunities square Saturn can limit your efforts regarding travel, education, legal matters or publishing. There may be very strict rules that you have to follow and your path forward may be blocked, or require extra effort. Consider how this plays into the eclipse’s turning point. 

Mercury over the South Node in your sector of routine can deliver a diagnosis, solution or information about a correction. An issue from the past (involving health or work)can culminate, pushing you to acknowledge a key responsibility to yourself of another. Venus/Jupiter in your sector of self-expression offers a contrasting shot of fun, celebration or happy moments involving a new attraction or creation. Your urge to indulge, play or throw caution to the winds can be strong, but don’t forget the reality that Mercury/South Node is underlining. 

Mercury’s square to Uranus and entrance to your partnership sector can present a surprising bit of extra news (regarding work or health) or an unexpected workaround or error. What you learn or communicate can lead to a conversation with another that’s more balanced, even if the subject matter is disruptive. Mars in your opportunities sector trine Jupiter encourages you to take a risk, reach further or fight for something you believe in. The restrictions of Mars/Saturn can be overcome – watch for surge of confidence, luck or the ability to reach others on broader scale. Excellent for creative work, performance or traveling for fun. 

Virgo

The eclipse in your hidden sector illuminates what you’ve been ignoring or denying regarding health, work or daily habits. An area of pride or creativity (or perhaps something you’re not proud of) will be emphasized, and you may be pushed to go public with it or end it (if it’s undermining your personal power). Meanwhile, Mars in your sector of shared resources square Saturn defines an issue of anger, frustration or blocked action regarding shared finances or intimacy. This could be a buried psychological issue or someone else’s attempt to control you. Consider what you can and cannot do – work within those limits. 

Mercury over the South Node in your sector of self-expression can deliver a message from the past regarding an attraction, creative work, children/pregnancy or confidence. An ending, final answer or key piece of information can clearly define what you have to let go of, or what you need to focus on in order to manifest. Venus/Jupiter in your domestic sector adds in moments of increased love and abundance with family, or in private as you work on making your home a place of safety and joy. Expansion and promise in your personal life will be connected to a reality that Mercury/South Node has underlined. 

Mercury’s square to Uranus and entrance into your sector of routine can present a surprising response or realization about the above, which pushes you to focus on specific health, work or routine aspect. Watch for a burst of inspiration or a sudden detachment from what you used to desire – the freedom can open your eyes to what needs to be attended to and more effective ways to improve or refine. Mars in your sector of shared resources trine Jupiter adds in a powerful, private flow of confidence, well-being, financial success or passion. Issues with a partner can smooth out (after the frustrations of Mars/Saturn) or you could reach a point of acceptance and release regarding buried anger. 

Libra

The eclipse in your social sector illuminates a very public result or ending. Key themes can include your desire to stand out/perform/create or receive appreciation/respect for who you are. In some cases, a new attraction could reach a dramatic turning point. Meanwhile, Mars in your partnership sector square Saturn indicates hard focus on one area of your relationships. The actions/initiatives of another may be out of step with your responsibilities. Or,  you may find that forward movement in a relationship is temporarily blocked as you reach a moment that requires extra effort or a hard look at reality. 

Mercury over the South Node in your domestic sector signals a key conversation from the past, or a family discussion. Domestic information (which can also involve the buying/selling of a house) will reach a point of culmination. At the same time, Venus/Jupiter in your communication sector indicates that this domestic issue will be the reality check that underlines a hopeful promise, conversation or discovery. There’s more to learn and say, and what you see can be full of promise. Just don’t ignore what’s emerging from the past. 

Mercury’s square to Uranus and entrance to your sector of self-expression then provides an abrupt revelation or piece of information that disrupts domestic rules or traditions. A shake up of your foundation can lead to increased freedom, confidence and the ability to say what you really want. Mars in your relationship sector trine Jupiter then provides a breakthrough to the Mars/Saturn block – communication is crucial, as open-minded discussions and new/expansive ideas allow you and another to move forward. The key will be rising above petty disagreements and not getting caught up in what’s not working. Instead, focus on what lies ahead. 

Scorpio

The eclipse in your career sector delivers a result involving your professional status, a job search or launch of a business. Results will involve the full expression of your talents plus what’s most personal to you, in a public context. Meanwhile, Mars in your sector of routine square Saturn suggests that specific health and work issue can be frustrating as you experience pressure to perform or improve. At the same time, you may find that your energy is restricted and you have to move carefully, giving all your attention to certain priorities. 

Mercury over the South Node in your communication sector delivers a key message or conversation from the past. Now you’ll receive the answer, sign the document or see the results of a firm commitment. Venus/Jupiter in your sector of personal resources adds the promise of more money or self-esteem – there could be a gift or increase of abundance, depending on the nature of the commitment. 

Mercury’s square to Uranus can add a jolt of clarity or an additional detail that pushes you to say something unexpected or view your situation in a whole new light. As Mercury enters your domestic sector, you’ll apply this clarity to domestic issues. Mars in your sector of routine trines Jupiter, adding a welcome surge of energy, a loophole or workaround that can free you from the restrictions/pressure of Mars/Saturn. However, the key will be your ability to do the necessary work or move in a direction that offers improvement. 

Sagittarius

The eclipse in your opportunities sector can deliver a result or conclusion that opens up something new and exciting in the areas of education, travel, legal matters or publishing. Making your voice heard on a larger scale, or putting an ideal/dream into words are possible themes, as well as adding fuel to a big idea. Meanwhile, Mars in your sector of self-expression square Saturn will confront you with some limits about how much you can express. You may feel a dent in your self-confidence as a lack of resources or security reminds you that there’s more work to be done. 

Mercury over the South Node in your sector of personal resources underlines a crucial piece of information regarding earned money, sources of income, savings or your self-esteem. Watch for an important message or document from the past that defines and clarifies exactly what you have to work with. At the same time, Venus/Jupiter in your sign can present a beautifully buoyant opportunity to grow, attract or feel good about what’s coming up. If you focus on the bottom line and put in the required work, you can go far. 

Mercury’s square to Uranus and entrance into your communication sector will provide a jolt regarding money or self-esteem. An extra bit of info or realization can push you to initiate a conversation or seek out more facts. Mars’ trine to Jupiter in your sign fuels your luck and confidence as actions place you in the right place at the right time. Limits or lack of confidence from Mars/Saturn can be overcome if you align yourself with newly emerging opportunities and have faith that what you have to offer (in a romantic or creative sense) is desirable to others. Pursuing what/who you want looks promising. 

Capricorn

The eclipse in your sector of shared resources illuminates a culmination involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. Tied into this will be your independence, pride and security in the midst of what you share or owe. Mars in your domestic sector square Saturn in your sign adds in themes of heavy responsibilities at home/with family that can emphasize what you can’t do, or where you have to work harder. In some cases, you may be attempting to enforce rules on other family members. 

Mercury over the South Node in your sign brings forward a crucial message, messenger or conversation from the past. A topic that’s been simmering for awhile will now emerge, presenting you with results or pushing you to speak out. Venus/Jupiter in your hidden sector adds in secret potentials, desires or promising areas of growth. What’s growing may seem like a fantasy, but pay attention to the information in front you – there’s a clue as to how you can manifest what’s hidden. 

Mercury in your sign square Uranus can push you to abruptly speak up or change your mind about a set rule. Don’t be afraid to question what’s been defined or change course. As Mercury enters your sector of personal resources, you can apply this information to earned money or self-esteem- what are some new ways that you can enhance your security? Mars in your domestic sector trine Jupiter presents hopeful progress as you move on from the pressure of Mars/Saturn – tune into what’s instinctive or not quite defined. Background assistance or your faith in what you can’t see can energize domestic matters (or a relocation) in a very positive way. 

Aquarius

The eclipse in your partnership sector turns the spotlight on how your ego and purpose are connected to a partnership, or lack thereof. You pride yourself on being independent but you’re not an island- this culmination will illuminate a key relationship issue, and Mars (in your communication sector) square Saturn will sharply define an edgy piece of information or a difficult conversation. What you can’t say, what you have to say or where you feel blocked from expressing anger/passion will be themes. 

Mercury over the South Node in your hidden sector underlines a secret or unacknowledged fact that’s emerging. This has been simmering for awhile, and now it’s time to acknowledge it. Venus/Jupiter in your social sector ties this in with an expansive social opportunity, new attraction or promising social contact. 

Mercury in your hidden sector square Uranus can trigger a flash of clarity that reveals what you’ve been hiding or avoiding. As you suddenly see what you really need to know, Mercury’s entrance to your sign urges you to say it out loud or openly acknowledge what you can no longer avoid. Mars in your communication sector trine Jupiter presents  a powerful outlet for what you need to say. The restrictions of Mars/Saturn (which may have involved a hidden block or fear) can be overcome if you speak up with faith, courage and the willingness to consider new groups/friends or connections to the public in general. Also excellent for a public launch or delivering your message to wide audience. 

Pisces

The eclipse in your sector of routine spotlights a health or work issue that you may have been ignoring. This is about bringing pride, power and attention to what you do on a daily basis, or how you take care of yourself. Results can be unexpected, and Mars in your sector of personal resources square Saturn will define certain limits around earned money or self-esteem. There may be rules or extra work that you need to attend to in order to get what you want.

Mercury in your social sector square Uranus can present a surprising message (from a friend, group or social media) or can push you to say something public and unexpected.

The pressure from Mars/Saturn can be overcome if you move in a new direction (reading earned income or a career path) and energize an unknown but promising area. This will require faith in your professional capabilities.

Overview

The January 20th/21st (depending on your time zone) Full Moon eclipse at 0 deg Leo draws our attention to matters of ego, appreciation, pride and public acknowledgement. The Sun (ruler of Leo) in Aquarius adds in the energies of detachment and individuation. Leo is passionate and Aquarius can be quite distant (which enables a more universal perspective). These contrasting themes will blend in a dramatic way, while Mars in Aries’ square to Saturn (January 21st) suggests strict limits on actions and the expression of anger or passion. 

So while this eclipse will illuminate a bold issue that demands attention, you may feel restricted in how you’re allowed to react. Or, you may encounter significant work that needs to be done in order to manifest what this eclipse promises. 

January 22nd presents a conjunction of Mercury and the Capricorn South Node – a message/messenger from the past delivers a strictly defined consequence. This is the formal commitment or ending, but Venus’ conjunction to Jupiter in Sagittarius on the same day presents a promise of expansion regarding something you want. Together, these aspects suggest an unavoidable reality or clear message that underlines a lovely opportunity. 

On January 23rd, Mercury squares Uranus in Aries then enters Uranus-ruled Aquarius on January 24th. The square to Uranus indicates a shocking message or realization which will then open your eyes to something bigger, more unusual and more freeing. Words/ideas will break through the limits. Note that Mercury will activate the Sun’s position (0 deg Aquarius) during the eclipse, so this breakthrough will be connected to what the eclipse illuminates.

On January 25th, the theme of breakthrough continues as Mars in Aries trines Jupiter in Sagittarius. After the restrictions of Mars/Saturn, Mars/Jupiter offers a shot of luck, freedom and open action. This suggests that the Mars/Saturn struggle will be worth it – the work, responsibility or discipline will push you past a block to a place where you can move ahead quickly and with optimism. 

Aries

The eclipse in your sector of self- expression can trigger a performance, new attraction, creation or moment where you decide to put yourself in the spotlight. A result may finalize something in these areas. Risky behaviour can be part of this vibe.  But Mars in your sign square Saturn reminds you of your professional responsibilities. You’ll have to go slow or deal with frustrating issues of authority and control, but the extra effort that’s demanded can also be an essential part of what you’re trying to create or express. In some cases, freedom of expression will have to be balanced with professional reputation. 

Mercury over the South Node in your career sector indicates an official document, conversation or decision that can finalize something about your work or future. A goodbye will be irreversible. But Venus/Jupiter in your opportunities sector suggests that part of what’s being finalized may involve an intriguing promise around education, long-distance romance, travel, legal matters or publishing. Watch for something big that you’ve attracted – just make sure your hopes are aligned with whatever realities Mercury/South Node has spelled out. 

Mercury’s square to Uranus in your sign and entrance into your social sector indicates a surprising shot of news or a decision that abruptly changes your future course. What you learn or decide will impact your friendships and social image – disruption may be essential for an update to who you associate with. Mars in your sign trine Jupiter continues this trend as you step forward into new territory (this was promised by the Venus/Jupiter conjunction). It’s time to act, because now that you’ve turned a corner on the Mars/Saturn square, you should experience more ease, luck and good timing. Your hard work could be rewarded. 

Taurus

The eclipse in your domestic sector delivers results at home/with family that involve domestic pride or your desire to express your true self within your family.

Meanwhile, Mars in your hidden sector square Saturn suggests open actions/anger may be very difficult, as you feel blocked or repressed. A struggle behind the scenes can drain some of your energy. 

Mercury over the South Node in your opportunities sector brings a final announcement, graduation or information from the past that wraps things up in the areas of education, legal matters, travel or publishing. Watch for proof of an ideal/belief. Venus/Jupiter in your sector of shared resources suggests that what’s being finalized can actually point to expansion (or a gift) on a deeper level- shared finances or intimacy can grow in a hopeful direction, although you’ll need to be cautious with boundaries or overspending. 

Mercury’s square to Uranus and entrance into your career sector suggests a shocking or illuminating truth that can either blow away what you learned or introduce you to a brand new lesson. This will inform your future/career goals. Mars in your hidden sector trine Jupiter suggests the Venus/Jupiter conjunction can progress nicely as private or instinctive actions flow smoothly and encourage deep intimacy or financial growth. The blocks/pressure of Mars/Saturn have passed, and there may be a release or private surge of confidence if you’ve overcome something that felt like punishment. 

Gemini

The eclipse in your communication centre delivers a dramatic message, decision or conversation. Words and ideas may be showy with a focus on personal beliefs and the freedom to express them. Meanwhile, Mars in your social sector square Saturn can put the brakes on a public announcement, your public actions or issues with friends. The open expression of anger or ambition may be denied as hidden rules/restrictions keep you in line. This can be a frustrating moment where you have to hold back or focus on public responsibilities. 

Mercury over the South Node in your sector of shared resources indicates a key discussion or realization about shared finances or intimacy. This could involve a formal financial document (involving a loan or taxes) or the clarification of a boundary between you and another. Too, you could be confronting uncomfortable knowledge from the past or from a buried psychological issue. Venus/Jupiter in your partnership sector suggests that a one-on-one relationship offers increased love or promise, so it’s possible that the background realities of Mercury/South Node will underline an extremely positive, external development. Perhaps a deep commitment or decision to end something encourages future growth. 

Mercury’s square to Uranus and entrance into your opportunities sector then suggests a shot of clarity involving deeper issues. A blast of insight can be disruptive but will also lead to a more expansive view of future possibilities. It’s time to look above and beyond your current issues, and Mars in your social sector trine Jupiter broadens the promise of one-on-one and group/public actions. Your efforts with friends/the public will encourage the development of a one-on-one connection which can in turn support your public efforts. After the frustrations of Mars/Saturn, this aspect suggests that close relationships can free you from any limits and even rehabilitate your reputation. 

Cancer

The eclipse in your sector of personal resources illuminates a result involving earned money, values or self-esteem. Pride and the ability to create these things for yourself will be the issue, as well as your freedom in the context of what you share or owe. Watch for a result that clarifies what you need or how you can bring more power to this area of your life. Mars in your career sector square Saturn focuses on a key area of ambition or issues with management. You may feel pressured or blocked by what you have to do, or what you can’t do. Extra work, or the rules/demands of a partner, can push you to take stock of your earnings and security, as well as how you respond to authority. 

Mercury over the South Node in your partnership sector hi-lights a key relationship conversation or decision from the past. Too, this could signify a defined set of mutual goals or a goodbye. Venus/Jupiter in your sector of routine suggests the above can also define an area of growth and hope around work methods, health or daily habits. Watch for a positive solution, diagnosis or significant offer of assistance. A relationship that involves an obligation can expand to reveal unexpected improvements.  

Mercury’s square to Uranus and entrance into your sector of shared resources suggests a surprising partnership discussion or realization will deliver a disruptive truth, which will then push you to look deeper at what you share, or at the hidden dynamics between you and another. Mars in your career sector trine Jupiter adds a positive flow between professional ambitions/actions and daily results. What you to do move ahead or energize your goals can have very favourable consequences in your daily life. This also suggests that the pressure of Mars/Saturn will ease as you discover a way to do more, or a loophole/solution that allows you to move forward. Honesty and a cards-on the-table discussion with a partner (business or professional) can be part of this. 

Leo

The eclipse in your sign can illuminate a key area of pride, recognition or power, especially regarding your relationship with another. A one-on-one connection can reflect important issues, so pay attention to the other person’s response to an ending or result (independence may be an issue). Watch for a turning point in a partnership or how others respond to you – this can clarify something about your ego. Meanwhile, Mars in your sector of opportunities square Saturn can limit your efforts regarding travel, education, legal matters or publishing. There may be very strict rules that you have to follow and your path forward may be blocked, or require extra effort. Consider how this plays into the eclipse’s turning point. 

Mercury over the South Node in your sector of routine can deliver a diagnosis, solution or information about a correction. An issue from the past (involving health or work)can culminate, pushing you to acknowledge a key responsibility to yourself of another. Venus/Jupiter in your sector of self-expression offers a contrasting shot of fun, celebration or happy moments involving a new attraction or creation. Your urge to indulge, play or throw caution to the winds can be strong, but don’t forget the reality that Mercury/South Node is underlining. 

Mercury’s square to Uranus and entrance to your partnership sector can present a surprising bit of extra news (regarding work or health) or an unexpected workaround or error. What you learn or communicate can lead to a conversation with another that’s more balanced, even if the subject matter is disruptive. Mars in your opportunities sector trine Jupiter encourages you to take a risk, reach further or fight for something you believe in. The restrictions of Mars/Saturn can be overcome – watch for surge of confidence, luck or the ability to reach others on broader scale. Excellent for creative work, performance or traveling for fun. 

Virgo

The eclipse in your hidden sector illuminates what you’ve been ignoring or denying regarding health, work or daily habits. An area of pride or creativity (or perhaps something you’re not proud of) will be emphasized, and you may be pushed to go public with it or end it (if it’s undermining your personal power). Meanwhile, Mars in your sector of shared resources square Saturn defines an issue of anger, frustration or blocked action regarding shared finances or intimacy. This could be a buried psychological issue or someone else’s attempt to control you. Consider what you can and cannot do – work within those limits. 

Mercury over the South Node in your sector of self-expression can deliver a message from the past regarding an attraction, creative work, children/pregnancy or confidence. An ending, final answer or key piece of information can clearly define what you have to let go of, or what you need to focus on in order to manifest. Venus/Jupiter in your domestic sector adds in moments of increased love and abundance with family, or in private as you work on making your home a place of safety and joy. Expansion and promise in your personal life will be connected to a reality that Mercury/South Node has underlined. 

Mercury’s square to Uranus and entrance into your sector of routine can present a surprising response or realization about the above, which pushes you to focus on specific health, work or routine aspect. Watch for a burst of inspiration or a sudden detachment from what you used to desire – the freedom can open your eyes to what needs to be attended to and more effective ways to improve or refine. Mars in your sector of shared resources trine Jupiter adds in a powerful, private flow of confidence, well-being, financial success or passion. Issues with a partner can smooth out (after the frustrations of Mars/Saturn) or you could reach a point of acceptance and release regarding buried anger. 

Libra

The eclipse in your social sector illuminates a very public result or ending. Key themes can include your desire to stand out/perform/create or receive appreciation/respect for who you are. In some cases, a new attraction could reach a dramatic turning point. Meanwhile, Mars in your partnership sector square Saturn indicates hard focus on one area of your relationships. The actions/initiatives of another may be out of step with your responsibilities. Or,  you may find that forward movement in a relationship is temporarily blocked as you reach a moment that requires extra effort or a hard look at reality. 

Mercury over the South Node in your domestic sector signals a key conversation from the past, or a family discussion. Domestic information (which can also involve the buying/selling of a house) will reach a point of culmination. At the same time, Venus/Jupiter in your communication sector indicates that this domestic issue will be the reality check that underlines a hopeful promise, conversation or discovery. There’s more to learn and say, and what you see can be full of promise. Just don’t ignore what’s emerging from the past. 

Mercury’s square to Uranus and entrance to your sector of self-expression then provides an abrupt revelation or piece of information that disrupts domestic rules or traditions. A shake up of your foundation can lead to increased freedom, confidence and the ability to say what you really want. Mars in your relationship sector trine Jupiter then provides a breakthrough to the Mars/Saturn block – communication is crucial, as open-minded discussions and new/expansive ideas allow you and another to move forward. The key will be rising above petty disagreements and not getting caught up in what’s not working. Instead, focus on what lies ahead. 

Scorpio

The eclipse in your career sector delivers a result involving your professional status, a job search or launch of a business. Results will involve the full expression of your talents plus what’s most personal to you, in a public context. Meanwhile, Mars in your sector of routine square Saturn suggests that specific health and work issue can be frustrating as you experience pressure to perform or improve. At the same time, you may find that your energy is restricted and you have to move carefully, giving all your attention to certain priorities. 

Mercury over the South Node in your communication sector delivers a key message or conversation from the past. Now you’ll receive the answer, sign the document or see the results of a firm commitment. Venus/Jupiter in your sector of personal resources adds the promise of more money or self-esteem – there could be a gift or increase of abundance, depending on the nature of the commitment. 

Mercury’s square to Uranus can add a jolt of clarity or an additional detail that pushes you to say something unexpected or view your situation in a whole new light. As Mercury enters your domestic sector, you’ll apply this clarity to domestic issues. Mars in your sector of routine trines Jupiter, adding a welcome surge of energy, a loophole or workaround that can free you from the restrictions/pressure of Mars/Saturn. However, the key will be your ability to do the necessary work or move in a direction that offers improvement. 

Sagittarius

The eclipse in your opportunities sector can deliver a result or conclusion that opens up something new and exciting in the areas of education, travel, legal matters or publishing. Making your voice heard on a larger scale, or putting an ideal/dream into words are possible themes, as well as adding fuel to a big idea. Meanwhile, Mars in your sector of self-expression square Saturn will confront you with some limits about how much you can express. You may feel a dent in your self-confidence as a lack of resources or security reminds you that there’s more work to be done. 

Mercury over the South Node in your sector of personal resources underlines a crucial piece of information regarding earned money, sources of income, savings or your self-esteem. Watch for an important message or document from the past that defines and clarifies exactly what you have to work with. At the same time, Venus/Jupiter in your sign can present a beautifully buoyant opportunity to grow, attract or feel good about what’s coming up. If you focus on the bottom line and put in the required work, you can go far. 

Mercury’s square to Uranus and entrance into your communication sector will provide a jolt regarding money or self-esteem. An extra bit of info or realization can push you to initiate a conversation or seek out more facts. Mars’ trine to Jupiter in your sign fuels your luck and confidence as actions place you in the right place at the right time. Limits or lack of confidence from Mars/Saturn can be overcome if you align yourself with newly emerging opportunities and have faith that what you have to offer (in a romantic or creative sense) is desirable to others. Pursuing what/who you want looks promising. 

Capricorn

The eclipse in your sector of shared resources illuminates a culmination involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. Tied into this will be your independence, pride and security in the midst of what you share or owe. Mars in your domestic sector square Saturn in your sign adds in themes of heavy responsibilities at home/with family that can emphasize what you can’t do, or where you have to work harder. In some cases, you may be attempting to enforce rules on other family members. 

Mercury over the South Node in your sign brings forward a crucial message, messenger or conversation from the past. A topic that’s been simmering for awhile will now emerge, presenting you with results or pushing you to speak out. Venus/Jupiter in your hidden sector adds in secret potentials, desires or promising areas of growth. What’s growing may seem like a fantasy, but pay attention to the information in front you – there’s a clue as to how you can manifest what’s hidden. 

Mercury in your sign square Uranus can push you to abruptly speak up or change your mind about a set rule. Don’t be afraid to question what’s been defined or change course. As Mercury enters your sector of personal resources, you can apply this information to earned money or self-esteem- what are some new ways that you can enhance your security? Mars in your domestic sector trine Jupiter presents hopeful progress as you move on from the pressure of Mars/Saturn – tune into what’s instinctive or not quite defined. Background assistance or your faith in what you can’t see can energize domestic matters (or a relocation) in a very positive way. 

Aquarius

The eclipse in your partnership sector turns the spotlight on how your ego and purpose are connected to a partnership, or lack thereof. You pride yourself on being independent but you’re not an island- this culmination will illuminate a key relationship issue, and Mars (in your communication sector) square Saturn will sharply define an edgy piece of information or a difficult conversation. What you can’t say, what you have to say or where you feel blocked from expressing anger/passion will be themes. 

Mercury over the South Node in your hidden sector underlines a secret or unacknowledged fact that’s emerging. This has been simmering for awhile, and now it’s time to acknowledge it. Venus/Jupiter in your social sector ties this in with an expansive social opportunity, new attraction or promising social contact. 

Mercury in your hidden sector square Uranus can trigger a flash of clarity that reveals what you’ve been hiding or avoiding. As you suddenly see what you really need to know, Mercury’s entrance to your sign urges you to say it out loud or openly acknowledge what you can no longer avoid. Mars in your communication sector trine Jupiter presents  a powerful outlet for what you need to say. The restrictions of Mars/Saturn (which may have involved a hidden block or fear) can be overcome if you speak up with faith, courage and the willingness to consider new groups/friends or connections to the public in general. Also excellent for a public launch or delivering your message to wide audience. 

Pisces

The eclipse in your sector of routine spotlights a health or work issue that you may have been ignoring. This is about bringing pride, power and attention to what you do on a daily basis, or how you take care of yourself. Results can be unexpected, and Mars in your sector of personal resources square Saturn will define certain limits around earned money or self-esteem. There may be rules or extra work that you need to attend to in order to get what you want. 

Mercury over the South Node in your social sector emphasizes a conversation or contact from the past. This will define your social status or public reputation, and Venus/Jupiter in your career sector connects this to a bountiful professional opportunity or boost to your professional image. Too, a professional relationship could open up new areas of advancement and optimism. 

Mercury in your social sector square Uranus can present a surprising message (from a friend, group or social media) or can push you to say something public and unexpected. But as Mercury enters your hidden sector, you may need to step back after this public reveal in order to contemplate what just went down. Mars in your sector of personal resources trine Jupiter suggests that the above can benefit you on a professional and financial level. The pressure from Mars/Saturn can be overcome if you move in a new direction (reading earned income or a career path) and energize an unknown but promising area. This will require faith in your professional capabilities.

Overview

There’s a mix of hard reality and exuberant fantasy this week. It will take some awareness to juggle both.

The Past

On the January 16th, the Sun conjoins the Capricorn South Node, energizing issues from the past involving rules, traditions, boundaries and fears. What’s been defined can become outdated. Or, you may see the consequences of how you’ve dealt with rules/authority. Parental issues can also emerge, demanding to be completed. This is the illumination of core reality – an unavoidable ending or result.

Hot, New Potential

January 18th sees a hot trine between Venus in Sagittarius and Mars in Aries. Courageous actions (Mars) support what you want/love (Venus) especially if Venus issues involve expansion or unexplored territory. Taking a chance on something new could work out very well, and the mood of hopeful possibility will be strong. Mercury’s conjunction to Pluto in Capricorn on the same day connects these events to a profound truth or powerful, uncomfortable message – you’ll see past the facade, and if you can handle the reveal you can use this (and the Venus/Mars trine) to your advantage. The Capricorn’s Sun square to Uranus in Aries adds a shot of the unexpected. 

Freedom

On January 20th, the Sun enters Aquarius and begins the season of the outsider, revolutionary and the individual. Venus’s square to Neptune in Pisces on the same day starts the season off on a dreamy but elusive note. A mood of inflated idealism and freedom emerges as Neptune adds even more expansion to what you want. But a square from Neptune brings illusion or a weakening of values, so be careful with this one – the potential of the Venus/Mars trine can be dissolved if you lose track of what’s healthy or truthful. 

Aries

The Sun in your career sector conjunct the South Node hi-lights a culminating issue involving authority, status or your future goals. An achievement could be energized or you may see that what used to matter is no longer important.

Venus in your sector of opportunities trine Mars in your sign encourages you to reach further in the areas of long-distance romance, travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Your actions can attract favourable things  and trying something new can work out well. At the same time, Mercury/Pluto (in your career sector) and the Sun  square Uranus in your sign emphasize an issue of power and deep change- it’s clear that you’re breaking away from old rules/definitions of success and a significant conversation or document may be involved. 

As the Sun enters your social sector and Venus squares Neptune, the energy shifts from what’s possible to what’s ideal. You may be encouraged to keep expecting more, but now is the time to double check your hopes (especially in a social context) – unclear or unspoken dreams can blur reality. What started favourably with the Mars/Venus trine may need to be adjusted so you don’t wander off the path. 

Taurus

The Sun in your opportunities sector conjunct the South Node energizes an issue involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. A previous goal or destination may no longer be viable. Or, an official lesson/belief may come to fruition. 

Venus in your sector of shared resources trine Mars favours increased intimacy, trust or financial assistance. What you share with another can increase due to private or intuitive actions. At the same time, Mercury/Pluto in your opportunities sector and Sun square Uranus can see you questioning established truths/laws or understanding the depth of a lesson. A deep revelation can push you to learn more or look past the boundaries of what you know. Issues with travel, education, legal matters or publishing can be abruptly redirected. 

As the Sun enters your career sector and Venus squares Neptune, your future/professional goals will be emphasized along with an increased desire to spend more, get closer or give more to another. What began with the Venus/Mars trine can expand to the point where you lose sight of boundaries. Or, hopes for the future can be undermined by an unrealistic understanding of what’s going on behind the scenes. 

Gemini

The Sun in your sector of shared resources conjunct the South Node can illuminate buried issues involving financial or intimate boundaries. And ending (in a relationship, financial situation or habit) may be triggered as you confirm what you share or owe. Too, this could be about paying a debt.

Venus in your partnership sector trine Mars encourages an enthusiastic flow of love and affection in a new or existing relationship. This is optimistic, outgoing energy and your social actions will encourage things to develop. One-on-one and group relationships can be nicely integrated. At the same time, Mercury/Pluto in your sector of shared resources and Sun square Uranus can reveal a truth that lies beneath the surface of a relationship via a deep realization or intense conversation. Some of what you learn may be disruptive, or external clarity can cast a hard light on what you’ve been denying. 

As the Sun enters your sector of opportunities and Venus squares Neptune, your sense of what’s possible can broaden. Future goals, new possibilities and the desire to get closer, spend more or drop your boundaries can increase, but know that your hopes will be out of step with reality. Be especially careful where money is involved. What the Venus/Mars trine began can quickly expand into too much, too soon.

Cancer

The Sun conjunct the South Node in your partnership sector can wrap up a relationship issue from the past, or illuminate an old issue involving partnership rules, boundaries or commitments. There could be a goodbye, or the development of a commitment that’s ready to be taken further. 

Venus in your sector of routine trine Mars favours work ambitions/actions that blend with co-worker relationships, service to others or help/optimism in your health or daily routines. Actions regarding your future will support what you do on a daily basis. Too, your daily efforts can get favourable attention from those in authority. At the same time, Mercury/Pluto in your partnership sector and the Sun’s square to Uranus signals a key discussion or realization that involves your partner’s power or power that you’ve been projecting. Listen to what they say, especially if it makes you uncomfortable. What’s revealed can disrupt the balance between you and another, or clarify where the two of you are going next. Career and future goals can be the catalyst. 

As the Sun enters your sector of shared resources and Venus squares Neptune, you’ll be focusing more on what lies beneath the surface of a relationship or lifestyle, while also losing track of some essentials regarding health or work routines. You may slack off or overestimate your capabilities. What the Venus/Mars trine began can drift into something undermining if you don’t keep an eye on your daily realities.  

Leo

The Sun conjunct the South Node in your sector of routine suggests a culmination or result involving health/diet/exercise or a daily work issue. This could be about leaving a habit behind or becoming aware of certain priorities. A situation with a co-worker or someone that you’re obligated to could come to a head. 

Venus in your sector of self-expression trine Mars favours a new attraction, increased confidence or your urge to step out and display your talents/take a risk. You could be in the mood for more and there’s a “why not” vibe to this. Others will look favourably on your efforts to express yourself. At the same time, Mercury/Pluto in your sector of routine can reveal a key truth regarding a work or health situation. A conversation, correction or diagnosis can remind you of what’s top priority. The Sun’s square to Uranus can also remind you that certain habits and daily situations must change. 

As the Sun enters your partnership sector and Venus squares Neptune, a relationship hope can go past the bounds of reality. Take a step back and consider what the other person can really offer. What seems promising may be more about an in-the-moment connection rather than anything long term. Too, an intensely romantic vibe can encourage you to overdo it. 

Virgo

The Sun over the South Node in your sector of self-expression can highlight an issue of creativity, celebration, children or romance that you’ve been trying to bring to fruition. Results will be dependent on the work you’ve put into this, or your understanding of the limits involved. In some cases, you may be saying goodbye to an unrealistic desire. 

Venus in your domestic trine Mars is good for all family matters or domestic finances. Bringing more or better into your home will depend on your behind-the-scenes actions and courage to push certain boundaries, give up some control or go someplace uncomfortable. Shared finances and intimacy can also benefit. At the same time, Mercury/Pluto in you sector of self-expression suggests powerful, persuasive words that deliver your message (or some good news) with great impact. Too, you could become obsessed with a desired goal, although the Sun’s square to Uranus will deliver some surprises. 

As the Sun enters your sector of routine and Venus squares Neptune, your focus will shift to daily necessities. But certain domestic issues (especially involving a partner) may be unclear or overhyped. A promise or expectation (that you projected) can change to disappointment. Certain desires for family harmony may need to be adjusted. 

Libra

The Sun over the South Node in your domestic sector can illuminate a key area of family history, especially involving a parent. A childhood issue may come to the surface, or a domestic responsibility may end. 

Venus in your communication sector trine Mars adds zest to all one-on-one conversations. Discussions with a partner or new attraction can be spicy, but all one-on-one discussions will have an element of harmony as the other person’s actions/efforts blend with what you want. At the same time, Mercury/Pluto in your domestic sector can indicate a key family discussion that unearths a significant issue from your past. Too, there can be a deep understanding of your history and family secrets. The Sun’s square to Uranus suggests surprises (triggered by another) that put your home life/past in a whole new light. 

As the Sun enters your sector of self-expression and Venus squares Neptune, the initial promise of the Venus/Mars trine can expand into something bigger but less certain. Watch for mixed messages, seductive but unclear promises or inflated hopes. Your desire for romance/fun can blur the details of what’s really happening. Be cautious if you’re tempted to  fudge the truth (especially about a health or work issue). 

Scorpio

The Sun over the South Node in your communication sector suggests a permanent goodbye, verbal commitment or final decision about a past issue. What’s been clearly defined or restricted (regarding what you know) will be emphasized, along with a need to expand on that. 

Venus in your sector of personal resources trine Mars looks favourable for earned money, self-esteem and the expression of your values. What you want blends nicely with the actions you take on daily basis (improvements can be especially effective). At the same time, Mercury/Pluto in your communication sector emphasize an intense discussion, answer or profound realization. Information and the way you deliver it can have a huge impact, while the Sun’s square to Uranus will offer a wake-up call that challenges your current rules. 

As the Sun enters your domestic sector and Venus squares Neptune, the promise of the Venus/Mars trine can, if handled carelessly, lead to a loss of security, self-esteem or money. If you take the promise too far or are overenthusiastic, you can end up overspending, overestimating or sacrificing your values. Don’t get distracted by what could be – focus on what is. 

Sagittarius

The Sun over the South Node in your sector of personal resources hilights a financial or self-esteem reality. It may be time to set a boundary or say goodbye to an outdated habit or definition of security. There could be results involving earned money, spending or the expression of your values. 

Venus in your sign trine Mars will pump up your confidence, ability to attract and desire for fun, indulgence and a bit of risk. Creative and celebratory efforts can go well, as can a new attraction. At the same time, Mercury/Pluto in your sector of personal resources reveals a truth about what you have versus what you want in the areas of money or emotional security. You could be empowered to speak up about what’s non-negotiable, or you could end up dealing with an uncomfortable power play regarding salary or your self-worth. The Sun’s square to Uranus can provide a jolt regarding outdated definitions of security. 

As the Sun enters your communication sector and Venus in your sign squares Neptune, the potential of the Venus/Mars trine can lead to an overestimation or miscalculation about what you want and what you attract. You could end up undermining yourself, especially if you get caught up in habits from the past or family illness/addiction. Pay attention to what you’re hearing and seeing- don’t close your eyes to what’s unpleasant, because it won’t go away. 

Capricorn

The Sun over the South Node in your sign can bring a crucial matter to completion. An issue involving rules, traditions, boundaries or authority can lead to an ending, or your increased awareness of what needs to be defined. 

Venus in your hidden sector trine Mars energizes a secret desire or promising potential. Something valuable and hopeful is in the works, and Mercury/Pluto in your sign will emphasize a key message, conversation or profound truth that increases your power and awareness. Your words will have significant impact. Too, a key person could reveal valuable, hidden information. The Sun in your sign square Uranus suggests the above can also deliver a disruptive jolt, change of plans and clarity. 

As the Sun enters your sector of personal resources and Venus squares Neptune, the promise of Venus/Mars may dissolve, or become distorted by unclear or deceptive information. Your focus on financial and emotional security can lead you down some questionable paths – remind yourself of what your original goal was and don’t get distracted by promises or undermining thoughts. 

Aquarius

The Sun over the South Node in your hidden sector can illuminate the ending of a major chapter or encourage you to let go of hidden fears/limits. A goodbye may occur, even if you’re the only one who’s aware of it. 

Venus in your social sector trine Mars adds power, persuasion and charm to all your public interactions. Connections with friends, groups and the public in general can go very well as your words (especially on a topic that you feel passionately about) attract favourable attention and boost your public image. At the same time, Mercury/Pluto in your hidden sector increases your awareness of what’s going on behind the scenes. There’s power in what’s not being openly discussed, and you’ll be privy to this. The Sun’s square to Uranus offers a corresponding jolt that reveals something hidden. 

As the Sun enters your sign and Venus squares Neptune, watch for social connections to be undermined or blurred by illusion, high ideals or deception. What you are hoping for from a relationship may end up disappointing you, if you get carried away by appearances. Too, your public image can be undermined by careless spending or a disregard for your core values. Don’t forget about what matters most to you. 

Pisces

The Sun over the South Node in your social sector highlights a key social boundary, rule or issue with public authority. You may be stepping away from this or may be confronted with the consequences of previous public actions. 

Venus in your career sector trine Mars shows promise for a new job, professional relationship or your professional image. Earning power blends nicely with what you want and the potential is high to move forward. At the same time, Mercury/Pluto in your social sector gives your public words extreme impact, or reveals a core truth that lies beneath the surface of a social issue or friendship. A public statement/messenger can open your eyes to something uncomfortable, and the Sun’s square to Uranus promises a public surprise to go along with this. 

As the Sun enters your hidden sector and Venus squares Neptune in your sign, make sure you don’t undermine the potential of the Venus/Mars trine with unrealistic hopes or unprofessional behaviour. Keep your eye on your image and stay focused on what’s real and doable.

You may be encouraged to keep expecting more, but now is the time to double check your hopes (especially in a social context) – unclear or unspoken dreams can blur reality. What started favourably with the Mars/Venus trine may need to be adjusted so you don’t wander off the path. 

Taurus

The Sun in your opportunities sector conjunct the South Node energizes an issue involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. A previous goal or destination may no longer be viable. Or, an official lesson/belief may come to fruition. 

Venus in your sector of shared resources trine Mars favours increased intimacy, trust or financial assistance. What you share with another can increase due to private or intuitive actions. At the same time, Mercury/Pluto in your opportunities sector and Sun square Uranus can see you questioning established truths/laws or understanding the depth of a lesson. A deep revelation can push you to learn more or look past the boundaries of what you know. Issues with travel, education, legal matters or publishing can be abruptly redirected. 

As the Sun enters your career sector and Venus squares Neptune, your future/professional goals will be emphasized along with an increased desire to spend more, get closer or give more to another. What began with the Venus/Mars trine can expand to the point where you lose sight of boundaries. Or, hopes for the future can be undermined by an unrealistic understanding of what’s going on behind the scenes. 

Gemini

The Sun in your sector of shared resources conjunct the South Node can illuminate buried issues involving financial or intimate boundaries. And ending (in a relationship, financial situation or habit) may be triggered as you confirm what you share or owe. Too, this could be about paying a debt.

Venus in your partnership sector trine Mars encourages an enthusiastic flow of love and affection in a new or existing relationship. This is optimistic, outgoing energy and your social actions will encourage things to develop. One-on-one and group relationships can be nicely integrated. At the same time, Mercury/Pluto in your sector of shared resources and Sun square Uranus can reveal a truth that lies beneath the surface of a relationship via a deep realization or intense conversation. Some of what you learn may be disruptive, or external clarity can cast a hard light on what you’ve been denying. 

As the Sun enters your sector of opportunities and Venus squares Neptune, your sense of what’s possible can broaden. Future goals, new possibilities and the desire to get closer, spend more or drop your boundaries can increase, but know that your hopes will be out of step with reality. Be especially careful where money is involved. What the Venus/Mars trine began can quickly expand into too much, too soon.

Cancer

The Sun conjunct the South Node in your partnership sector can wrap up a relationship issue from the past, or illuminate an old issue involving partnership rules, boundaries or commitments. There could be a goodbye, or the development of a commitment that’s ready to be taken further. 

Venus in your sector of routine trine Mars favours work ambitions/actions that blend with co-worker relationships, service to others or help/optimism in your health or daily routines. Actions regarding your future will support what you do on a daily basis. Too, your daily efforts can get favourable attention from those in authority. At the same time, Mercury/Pluto in your partnership sector and the Sun’s square to Uranus signals a key discussion or realization that involves your partner’s power or power that you’ve been projecting. Listen to what they say, especially if it makes you uncomfortable. What’s revealed can disrupt the balance between you and another, or clarify where the two of you are going next. Career and future goals can be the catalyst. 

As the Sun enters your sector of shared resources and Venus squares Neptune, you’ll be focusing more on what lies beneath the surface of a relationship or lifestyle, while also losing track of some essentials regarding health or work routines. You may slack off or overestimate your capabilities. What the Venus/Mars trine began can drift into something undermining if you don’t keep an eye on your daily realities.  

Leo

The Sun conjunct the South Node in your sector of routine suggests a culmination or result involving health/diet/exercise or a daily work issue. This could be about leaving a habit behind or becoming aware of certain priorities. A situation with a co-worker or someone that you’re obligated to could come to a head. 

Venus in your sector of self-expression trine Mars favours a new attraction, increased confidence or your urge to step out and display your talents/take a risk. You could be in the mood for more and there’s a “why not” vibe to this. Others will look favourably on your efforts to express yourself. At the same time, Mercury/Pluto in your sector of routine can reveal a key truth regarding a work or health situation. A conversation, correction or diagnosis can remind you of what’s top priority. The Sun’s square to Uranus can also remind you that certain habits and daily situations must change. 

As the Sun enters your partnership sector and Venus squares Neptune, a relationship hope can go past the bounds of reality. Take a step back and consider what the other person can really offer. What seems promising may be more about an in-the-moment connection rather than anything long term. Too, an intensely romantic vibe can encourage you to overdo it. 

Virgo

The Sun over the South Node in your sector of self-expression can highlight an issue of creativity, celebration, children or romance that you’ve been trying to bring to fruition. Results will be dependent on the work you’ve put into this, or your understanding of the limits involved. In some cases, you may be saying goodbye to an unrealistic desire. 

Venus in your domestic trine Mars is good for all family matters or domestic finances. Bringing more or better into your home will depend on your behind-the-scenes actions and courage to push certain boundaries, give up some control or go someplace uncomfortable. Shared finances and intimacy can also benefit. At the same time, Mercury/Pluto in you sector of self-expression suggests powerful, persuasive words that deliver your message (or some good news) with great impact. Too, you could become obsessed with a desired goal, although the Sun’s square to Uranus will deliver some surprises. 

As the Sun enters your sector of routine and Venus squares Neptune, your focus will shift to daily necessities. But certain domestic issues (especially involving a partner) may be unclear or overhyped. A promise or expectation (that you projected) can change to disappointment. Certain desires for family harmony may need to be adjusted. 

Libra

The Sun over the South Node in your domestic sector can illuminate a key area of family history, especially involving a parent. A childhood issue may come to the surface, or a domestic responsibility may end. 

Venus in your communication sector trine Mars adds zest to all one-on-one conversations. Discussions with a partner or new attraction can be spicy, but all one-on-one discussions will have an element of harmony as the other person’s actions/efforts blend with what you want. At the same time, Mercury/Pluto in your domestic sector can indicate a key family discussion that unearths a significant issue from your past. Too, there can be a deep understanding of your history and family secrets. The Sun’s square to Uranus suggests surprises (triggered by another) that put your home life/past in a whole new light. 

As the Sun enters your sector of self-expression and Venus squares Neptune, the initial promise of the Venus/Mars trine can expand into something bigger but less certain. Watch for mixed messages, seductive but unclear promises or inflated hopes. Your desire for romance/fun can blur the details of what’s really happening. Be cautious if you’re tempted to  fudge the truth (especially about a health or work issue). 

Scorpio

The Sun over the South Node in your communication sector suggests a permanent goodbye, verbal commitment or final decision about a past issue. What’s been clearly defined or restricted (regarding what you know) will be emphasized, along with a need to expand on that. 

Venus in your sector of personal resources trine Mars looks favourable for earned money, self-esteem and the expression of your values. What you want blends nicely with the actions you take on daily basis (improvements can be especially effective). At the same time, Mercury/Pluto in your communication sector emphasize an intense discussion, answer or profound realization. Information and the way you deliver it can have a huge impact, while the Sun’s square to Uranus will offer a wake-up call that challenges your current rules. 

As the Sun enters your domestic sector and Venus squares Neptune, the promise of the Venus/Mars trine can, if handled carelessly, lead to a loss of security, self-esteem or money. If you take the promise too far or are overenthusiastic, you can end up overspending, overestimating or sacrificing your values. Don’t get distracted by what could be – focus on what is. 

Sagittarius

The Sun over the South Node in your sector of personal resources hilights a financial or self-esteem reality. It may be time to set a boundary or say goodbye to an outdated habit or definition of security. There could be results involving earned money, spending or the expression of your values. 

Venus in your sign trine Mars will pump up your confidence, ability to attract and desire for fun, indulgence and a bit of risk. Creative and celebratory efforts can go well, as can a new attraction. At the same time, Mercury/Pluto in your sector of personal resources reveals a truth about what you have versus what you want in the areas of money or emotional security. You could be empowered to speak up about what’s non-negotiable, or you could end up dealing with an uncomfortable power play regarding salary or your self-worth. The Sun’s square to Uranus can provide a jolt regarding outdated definitions of security. 

As the Sun enters your communication sector and Venus in your sign squares Neptune, the potential of the Venus/Mars trine can lead to an overestimation or miscalculation about what you want and what you attract. You could end up undermining yourself, especially if you get caught up in habits from the past or family illness/addiction. Pay attention to what you’re hearing and seeing- don’t close your eyes to what’s unpleasant, because it won’t go away. 

Capricorn

The Sun over the South Node in your sign can bring a crucial matter to completion. An issue involving rules, traditions, boundaries or authority can lead to an ending, or your increased awareness of what needs to be defined. 

Venus in your hidden sector trine Mars energizes a secret desire or promising potential. Something valuable and hopeful is in the works, and Mercury/Pluto in your sign will emphasize a key message, conversation or profound truth that increases your power and awareness. Your words will have significant impact. Too, a key person could reveal valuable, hidden information. The Sun in your sign square Uranus suggests the above can also deliver a disruptive jolt, change of plans and clarity. 

As the Sun enters your sector of personal resources and Venus squares Neptune, the promise of Venus/Mars may dissolve, or become distorted by unclear or deceptive information. Your focus on financial and emotional security can lead you down some questionable paths – remind yourself of what your original goal was and don’t get distracted by promises or undermining thoughts. 

Aquarius

The Sun over the South Node in your hidden sector can illuminate the ending of a major chapter or encourage you to let go of hidden fears/limits. A goodbye may occur, even if you’re the only one who’s aware of it. 

Venus in your social sector trine Mars adds power, persuasion and charm to all your public interactions. Connections with friends, groups and the public in general can go very well as your words (especially on a topic that you feel passionately about) attract favourable attention and boost your public image. At the same time, Mercury/Pluto in your hidden sector increases your awareness of what’s going on behind the scenes. There’s power in what’s not being openly discussed, and you’ll be privy to this. The Sun’s square to Uranus offers a corresponding jolt that reveals something hidden. 

As the Sun enters your sign and Venus squares Neptune, watch for social connections to be undermined or blurred by illusion, high ideals or deception. What you are hoping for from a relationship may end up disappointing you, if you get carried away by appearances. Too, your public image can be undermined by careless spending or a disregard for your core values. Don’t forget about what matters most to you. 

Pisces

The Sun over the South Node in your social sector highlights a key social boundary, rule or issue with public authority. You may be stepping away from this or may be confronted with the consequences of previous public actions. 

Venus in your career sector trine Mars shows promise for a new job, professional relationship or your professional image. Earning power blends nicely with what you want and the potential is high to move forward. At the same time, Mercury/Pluto in your social sector gives your public words extreme impact, or reveals a core truth that lies beneath the surface of a social issue or friendship. A public statement/messenger can open your eyes to something uncomfortable, and the Sun’s square to Uranus promises a public surprise to go along with this. 

As the Sun enters your hidden sector and Venus squares Neptune in your sign, make sure you don’t undermine the potential of the Venus/Mars trine with unrealistic hopes or unprofessional behaviour. Keep your eye on your image and stay focused on what’s real and doable.

Overview

There’s a mix of hard reality and exuberant fantasy this week. It will take some awareness to juggle both.

The Past

On the January 16th, the Sun conjoins the Capricorn South Node, energizing issues from the past involving rules, traditions, boundaries and fears. What’s been defined can become outdated. Or, you may see the consequences of how you’ve dealt with rules/authority. Parental issues can also emerge, demanding to be completed. This is the illumination of core reality – an unavoidable ending or result.

Hot, New Potential

January 18th sees a hot trine between Venus in Sagittarius and Mars in Aries. Courageous actions (Mars) support what you want/love (Venus) especially if Venus issues involve expansion or unexplored territory. Taking a chance on something new could work out very well, and the mood of hopeful possibility will be strong. Mercury’s conjunction to Pluto in Capricorn on the same day connects these events to a profound truth or powerful, uncomfortable message – you’ll see past the facade, and if you can handle the reveal you can use this (and the Venus/Mars trine) to your advantage. The Capricorn’s Sun square to Uranus in Aries adds a shot of the unexpected. 

Freedom

On January 20th, the Sun enters Aquarius and begins the season of the outsider, revolutionary and the individual. Venus’s square to Neptune in Pisces on the same day starts the season off on a dreamy but elusive note. A mood of inflated idealism and freedom emerges as Neptune adds even more expansion to what you want. But a square from Neptune brings illusion or a weakening of values, so be careful with this one – the potential of the Venus/Mars trine can be dissolved if you lose track of what’s healthy or truthful. 

Aries

The Sun in your career sector conjunct the South Node hi-lights a culminating issue involving authority, status or your future goals. An achievement could be energized or you may see that what used to matter is no longer important.

Venus in your sector of opportunities trine Mars in your sign encourages you to reach further in the areas of long-distance romance, travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Your actions can attract favourable things  and trying something new can work out well. At the same time, Mercury/Pluto (in your career sector) and the Sun  square Uranus in your sign emphasize an issue of power and deep change- it’s clear that you’re breaking away from old rules/definitions of success and a significant conversation or document may be involved. 

As the Sun enters your social sector and Venus squares Neptune, the energy shifts from what’s possible to what’s ideal.
