Overview

The Sun crosses the Pisces South Node on February 21st, setting the stage for the Pisces eclipse. A spotlight shines on the past, making it immediate.  

February 22nd brings a square between Mars in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn. Mars acts out Pluto’s deeper motivations, and the square creates tension. This is a forceful aspect, as instinct takes over and power is unbalanced. What’s acted out in the present will be based on the past.

February 25th sees Mercury’s Pisces ingress. Information and communication will be plugged into something universal. Logic will be replaced by intuition, and this ingress builds on the Sun/South Node conjunction. Mercury rules the Virgo North Node. You may end up piercing the illusions/secrets/dreams of the past, so you can find clarity for the future.

Watch for everything to fall into place on the February 26th New Moon Pisces eclipse. The eclipse, along with a Mars/Uranus conjunction (opposing Jupiter Rx) will fuse all the influences over the past few days in a bright flash. Endings and beginnings may be simultaneous, and Mars/Uranus/Jupiter adds urgency. A total reversal may spin you around and spit you out. After the dizziness subsides, welcome to your next chapter.

Events will happen quickly, and they will be the results of what’s been brewing for awhile (Mars/Pluto, Sun/South Node). The past and future could collide, but the future always takes precedence (especially with Uranus driving a New Moon). This eclipse will conjoin Neptune -the new possibilities could exceed your imagination, as long as you flush away the old stuff.

Aries

Mars in your sign squares Pluto in your career sector, triggering angry reactions to authority, power or oppression. Confrontations will be public, impactingyour professional image. Use caution when you push back. Too, your actions could be part of a significant transformation to your public identity, physical appearance or lifestyle.

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your hidden sector whispers that there’s something less obvious to look at.  A background issue, secret or gut feeling will gain prominence, and the eclipse will bring it out into the open. Combined with Mars/Uranus in your sign opposing Jupiter Rx, new beginnings will hit unexpectedly. What you ignored or missed will become glaringly obvious. This could be the moment when it all clicks and you see what you’re getting -maybe more than you ever hoped for. Or, something/someone could exit abruptly. Relationship changes are a possibility, with complete reversals and extreme reactions. 

Taurus

Mars/Pluto can stir up repressed anger or unconscious reactions. There’s something that can no longer be denied, and you may react before you’re fully aware of what you’re doing. Too, this could be your big push for progress or success. 

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your social sector alerts you to developments involving friends, group activities or you public image. A conversation or piece of news from the past could get the ball rolling, and the eclipse will push things over the edge. What’s private could go public, and public connections will be driven by background actions. A new friendship, group association or public launch can surprise you, and you may surprise everyone with your ambition or a push for freedom. An abrupt change in your routine or daily activities could be featured. 

Gemini

Mars/Pluto suggests public outbursts, power struggles or arguments with friends/groups. The core issue will be much deeper that what you see on the surface, and it could stir up some powerful feelings involving loss, rejection or control. Obviously, you want to tread carefully with others, unless you’re itching for an intense confrontation. 

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your career sector can revive discussions with management about your future, your authority or your professional image. The eclipse will build on that, with new job developments (or a new job). Too, there could be a flash of insight about what you really want to do. Public reactions can contribute to events, with a sudden departure, rupture or action that propels you onto a whole new path. For some, an unexpected burst of ambition could put you exactly where you’re meant to be. 

Cancer

Mars/Pluto indicates tense confrontations with those in authority, and/or a partner. Your push to succeed/advance may cause conflict with a partner. Or, you could feel pushed out of your comfort zone by someone with power. How will you respond? Your power and ambition will be in question. 

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your sector of opportunities can open your eyes to areas of exploration, learning or expansion that are ripe for further development. The eclipse adds to the excitement with a flash of possibility. New developments around travel, education, legal matters or publishing can come out of nowhere, but at the same time, you’ll feel like this is the perfect opportunity for you. There may be an abrupt career change, or alteration of your future trajectory – perhaps you hadn’t planned on this at all. Sometimes a shock is what’s needed to push you in a direction you wouldn’t normally consider. For some, a business launch or job search could pay off in unexpected ways.  

Leo

Mars/Pluto can fire up your urge to explore, fight for a cause, or push for greater visibility. But it can also present challenges from outside sources, or push you into situations you’re not equipped to deal with. Travel, education, legal matters or publishing are areas of increased risk. 

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your sector of shared resources can start an intimate conversation or uncomfortable observation. It may be time to accept that there’s something you can’t have, or something you need to confront. The eclipse take things a step further, with debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy as areas of change. Forward movement, intensification, or deep realizations, will hit suddenly and leave you feeling out of control. Something hidden can be blown wide open. As uncomfortable as this will feel, know that you’re moving ahead, which is always the right direction. 

Virgo

Mars/Pluto ups the intensity, anger or drive for control. A new attraction could have a profound impact, or issues in an existing relationship could heat up and unearth buried conflict/passion. A power struggle on the most intimate level could result. Financial matters can be all or nothing, as you’re pushed to address a debt, shortfall, or opportunity to invest. You may be tempted to push a situation (emotional or financial) to its limit – use caution, because there’s a risk of loss. 

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your partnership sector opens the lines of communication about an ongoing issue, or gets you thinking about how you relate (or give away your power). The eclipse will accelerate things, introducing you to a new, potential partner, closing the door on a past relationship, or pushing an existing relationship into the next stage. Events will happen quickly, and someone else may initiate the action. Whether you’re meeting someone new, or a partnership is progressing/ending, know that the flow of events is happening naturally. You can’t fix or direct things. In some cases, an unexpected challenge or competition will hit, triggering your sharpest, savviest strategies. Move away from what/who makes you feel drained, anxious, or less-than. 

Libra

Mars/Pluto can trigger power struggles, competition or confrontations with another person. You may be pushed, and will have to decide if you’re going to push back. Tension or arguments in a romantic relationship may be rooted in family history, or ongoing domestic transformations. 

Sun/south Node and Mercury into your sector of routine gets you looking at the nuts and bolts of work, daily tasks or heath. Reasons to get organized will be expanded on during the eclipse. You may have to let go of something, or leave a situation, to improve your health. Someone else may be the catalyst who triggers an overhaul of your routine. Either way, changes in your immediate environment are meant to take your habits or approach to service a step beyond where you are now. This could be the difference between going through the motions versus an upgrade. Mars/Uranus opposing Jupiter Rx in your sign suggests complete reversal in a relationship, or your reaction to someone.  

Scorpio

Mars/Pluto can present challenges in your work environment, daily routine, health or diet. Your daily actions may be under fire, as you are pushed to do more, transform yourself, or serve someone else. You may have to decide if you current course of action is doable, or if it’s time to take back your power and strengthen yourself. 

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your sector of self-expression can bring creative inspiration, flirtatious contacts or good news. Your confidence to go public can be boosted, or you could reap the rewards of your creative efforts. The eclipse will hi-light this. A new romance, creative launch, performance or celebration are possibilities, but there is also some risk associated. You may feel like throwing yourself completely into a new situation. There’s certainly potential for success, but use some caution where your health and physical activity is involved. Remember your limits. 

Sagittarius

Mars/Pluto can see you pushing for more attention, attraction, indulgence or success. You could be motivated to pursue someone, or risk it all (financially or emotionally) on an instinctive desire. There’s potential to get what you want, but you can also go too far. Jealousy could be at the root of your competitive urges. Dial it back a couple of notches and you should be ok. 

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your domestic sector hi-light family discussions, documents or information from the past. The eclipse builds on this, with an ending and new beginning. There may be a final discussion to wrap up, or paperwork to sign. Relocation, a home business, or issues dating back to childhood will be concluded, allowing you to start fresh. However, the pace of events could move more quickly than anticipated. A break with the past could be more of a *snap* and your actions will be powered by your drive for self-expression. This eclipse could signal a chapter that’s all about you, and what you need to be truly happy.

Capricorn

Mars in your domestic sector squares Pluto in your sign, suggesting surface domestic changes (or family arguments) will be connected to deeper issues within you. A desire for power or transformation can trigger physical changes or forceful actions. Power dynamics around the home may also be an issue. 

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your communication sector increases the flow of information, emails, phone calls or meetings. An idea or discussion that’s been in development may be ready to manifest. The eclipse suggests a specific conversation, contact or decision can hitunexpectedly, but you’ll know there’s no going back. Domestic documents involving a sale, relocation, or home business may be featured. Family discussions can be abrupt and uncompromising. Too, your decision about a domestic situation could accelerate the pace, due to a now-or-never feeling. 

Aquarius

Mars/Pluto can trigger verbal confrontations, a verbal smackdown, or abrupt declaration. You’ll be feeling feisty, and your words will reflect this. But words/ideas will be based on hidden issues that you’re not fully conscious of. Pay attention to what pushes your buttons, because the root cause will go beyond what you see you on the surface. 

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your sector of personal resources gets you thinking about what you really need, financially and emotionally. The eclipse intensifies this, with surprising discussions about salary, an unexpected new source of income, or flash of clarity about what you value. You could surprise yourself with a decision to move on, relocate or demand more. 

Pisces

Mars/Pluto prepares the groundwork for the upcoming eclipse with public efforts, or unusually potent actions. You may be challenged, or you could be the one doing the challenging. Either way, you’ll be ready to fight for what you need, because it will feel like your survival is at stake. Money, self-esteem and personal values are areas where you may feel pushed, pressured or threatened. Too, these could be areas where you experience a surge of ambition. 

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your sign are the harbingers of the eclipse. Watch for a messenger, in the guise of specific person, idea or piece of information. This could be based in the past, or have a familiar vibe, even if the situation is brand new. The eclipse (and Neptune in your sign) can be your ultimate accelerant. What was on brew with Mars/Pluto will erupt, and the clarity, fresh purpose or surge of initiative can open up a whole new world. There’s opportunity and disruption – your security may be rocked, and finances could change dramatically. At the same time, your eyes could be opened to a new source of security, or a new way to feel better about yourself.

Overview

Happy Valentine’s Day. Jupiter Rx in Libra makes a doubtful inconjunct to Wounded Healer Chiron (in Pisces) on February 14th. Backtracking/revisions may bring you to an uncomfortable conclusion. More is not always better. Or, better can be undermined by lurking doubts.  Remember that Jupiter Rx in Libra is about rebalancing. Too much, too fast needs to be corrected. Slow down and take a breath. This isn’t a deal-breaker; you just need to pause and adjust. And there’s something to look forward to…

On February 16th. Mercury in Aquarius receives gentle initiative from Mars in Aries, via a sextile. Words and actions harmonize, and the message is delivered with ease. You can be assertive but non-threatening. You can launch a new idea that’s electric, but not too crazy. 

February 18th sees the Sun’s Pisces ingress. Welcome to the season of flux. Nothing is forced in this sign. It happens on its own, or it doesn’t happen. Releasing may be easier than building during Pisces season. But this is also an expansive sign, so you can make room for something better. 

Aries

Jupiter/Chiron can pinpoint background wounds about a relationship. Happy developments may raise hidden doubts. Or, a weak spot in a partnership ideal could be revealed. Acknowledge what hurts, but don’t give up hope – questions are part of the process. 

Mercury in your social sector, sextile Mars in your sign, gives you a communication edge with friends, groups and the public. You’ll have the drive and opportunity to get your point across, and it should be well-received by others. Excellent for public statements or networking that requires a light but assertive touch. 

As the Sun enters your hidden sector, you may become more aware of what goes on behind the scenes. Issues you’ve been avoiding, or things that are unproven, can make you uneasy. The solution is to pause and look at what’s not obvious. The unknown is less threatening when you shed light on it. 

Taurus

Jupiter/Chiron can hi-light a flaw or discrepancy in your work/health routines. Recent changes in your work or daily life require a second look, and now you’ll encounter a disconnect between your efforts versus what others need. Too, comparisons can make you aware of what you have to refine/improve. Health/exercise may need some adjustments if you’ve been overdoing it (pushing too hard, or overindulging and doing nothing at all).

Mercury/Mars can clue you into a less obvious, but lucrative, job opportunity. An indirect approach, or inquires about an ultimate ambition that seems unrealistic, may net you surprising results. 

The Sun into your social sector broadens your focus and goals. Success, career and status will matter less than your connections to others, and your personal goals. If you’re looking for work, or considering changing your career path, this influence can make ideals more important than a steady paycheque.  

Gemini

Jupiter/Chiron can reveal a weakness in your push for self-expression/creativity. What you really desire will need to be rebalanced with your current career or professional image. You may discover that you don’t quite have what it takes to reach a goal (yet). Too, overindulgence, or an unwise risk, can have a negative impact on your professional life. Use tension to regroup, rebalance your efforts and sharpen your focus.

Mercury/Mars urges you to look at new options involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. These areas can be energized with new plans, new contacts, and new things to learn. Someone could push you a bit further than you expected, but you’ll find that it’s an easy transition. 

The Sun into your career sector hi-lights your future goals, professional image or relationship with management. You’re in the midst of unstructured change – your next step may not be clear, and what you need to keep or let go of may be up for questioning. This transit can provide moments of clarity – keep your eyes open. 

Cancer

Jupiter/Chiron can trigger concerns about relocation, home expansion or growing your family. It may be time to reconsider plans to add more or move beyond your current situation. Too, recent growth might leave you feeling overwhelmed, even if events have been positive. 

Mercury/Mars suggests career goals, or your approach to authority, can benefit from a behind-the-scenes investigation. Looking deeper, or communicating from a place of deep honesty (bringing up issues that have been avoided) will result in progress. Your professional actions will be fuelled by deeper strategies, but the message will be delivered in a non-threatening way. 

The Sun into your sector of opportunities draws your attention to distant horizons, or new areas to explore. Travel, education, legal matters or publishing may be hi-lighted, as you consider how far you can go. 

Leo

Jupiter/Chiron can trigger reconsideration of a big idea, promise or hope. Someone may change their mind, or backtrack on a statement. Too, you may be reconsidering this information in light of vulnerabilities around finances or intimacy.  

Mercury/Mars can fire up relationship discussions. This energy is promising, and hints at more to do and explore and for you and someone else. This may be an initial conversation, where you both discover a shared love of travel, or a discussion in an ongoing relationship that gives you better ideas to work with. 

The Sun into your sector of shared resources hi-lights what you share, what you can’t control and what you may have to release. Allowing certain events to develop in their own time, or letting go of habits that undermine your security, could be themes. 

Virgo

Jupiter/Chiron can trigger relationship conflict or insecurities. Money or self-esteem issues can briefly flare up, as you review expenses, or expectations of what you’re entitled to. As you focus more closely on what you have, or what you have to gain, consider if your anxieties are based in reality. 

Mercury/Mars sharpens your ability to improve, upgrade or handle an increased workload. You won’t just be working harder, you’ll be applying your smarts to daily tasks at work or home. Health and exercise routines can receive fresh initiative. 

The Sun into your partnership sector illuminates issues of give and take. Whether you’re single or involved, you’ll become more aware of what you project (including illusions and anxieties) and what you need to let go of. 

Libra

Jupiter Rx in your sign, inconjunct Chiron in your sector of routine, suggests the review or delay of an opportunity may be connected to a health or work issue. Taking on too much/too fast, could impact your energy levels. Or, a flaw related to organization/prioritization may be exposed. Keep in mind that opportunity is opportunity, no matter how you slice it. Look closely at what’s growing, and address any flaws. Rebalance your efforts, but don’t give up completely just because you’ve run into some difficulties. 

Mercury/Mars can trigger flirtatious conversations/introductions. You may feel more assertive than usual and decide to make first contact with someone. In all one-on-one connections (platonic or romantic) your words will be well-received if you just say what’s on your mind. Don’t worry about how it will sound, or if you’re going to come off as too eager/weird/pushy/boring, etc. 

The Sun into your sector of routine draws your attention to what you have to do versus what others want you to do. Obligations, to yourself and others, will be hi-lighted. It may be time to let go of tasks that were never your responsibility. Shifting priorities at work, and in your personal life, could be a theme as you let one thing go to make room for something better/healthier. 

Scorpio

Jupiter/Chiron suggests background developments can unexpectedly trigger a doubt or insecurity. Something you want (in the areas of creativity, new romance or self-expression) may be up for questioning. Do you have what it takes to succeed/attract? Do you really want this? What if the answer is no? Allow yourself to work through uncertainties – there’s no rush. 

Mercury/Mars can present new and positive solutions to domestic and family affairs. Family discussions, renovations, relocation or a home business can benefit from your efforts to take charge and push for improvements. The fix can be easily applied. 

The Sun’s move into your sector of self-expression hi-lights personal goals, pleasure, celebrations or issues involving children/pregnancy. What you want, or what you’ve created, will be emphasized – depending on your chart, this could be a time to kick back and enjoy yourself, show off, or celebrate results. 

Sagittarius

Jupiter/Chiron can make a public statement, group event or friendship a bit dicey. You may feel more exposed than you’re comfortable with. Or, an apparent opportunity could make you feel unprepared or insecure. Consider if pulling back and rebalancing your public efforts might help. 

Mercury/Mars boosts your confidence to speak out, or celebrate what you’ve got to offer. Communication will be driven by your desire to go after what (or who) you want. Too, you could be the recipient of some charmingly assertive words. 

The Sun’s move into your domestic sector increases your focus on home and family matters. Release of the past (including outdated roles of victim or martyr) may be themes. In mundane matters, this is a good time to attend to home improvements or early spring cleaning/purging. 

Capricorn

Jupiter/Chiron can hi-light concerns about a career opportunity, new job or issue with management. Discussions or new information can reveal questions – take your time to sort through the facts. Too, more on your plate could prove stressful – is it time to rebalance your responsibilities? 

Mercury/Mars puts discussions about earned money and personal values on your radar. Domestic/family issues will fuel your desire to talk about what you need, or what’s essential for day-to-day living. The energy is assertive, but with minimal conflict. You should be able to get your point across without having to lower the hammer. 

The Sun into your communication sector illuminates the exchange of information. A specific discussion may take precedence, along with the need to let go, apologize or get the details on a vague issue. Too, you may find the overall pace of conversations, emails and phone calls increases. A sibling issue may also be hi-lighted. 

Aquarius

Jupiter/Chiron can trigger second thoughts about travel, relocation, education, legal matters or publishing. The urge to explore/expand will have to be tempered with financial and security issues. You may not have enough (temporarily) to go as far as you want to. Too, you may need to rebalance the importance of money versus happiness, or risk versus reward.

Mercury in your sign is encouraged by Mars in your communication sector. You can get your message across with easy assertiveness – you won’t have to push. Just speak/write naturally, be honest, and watch how it flows. 

The Sun into your sector of personal resources gets you looking more closely at what you have, what you need to save, and what isn’t worth keeping. Earned money, self-esteem and personal values may be in flux these days, and the Sun should illuminate key issues – consider if you’re clinging to something that used to make you feel safe, but now makes you feel insecure. 

Pisces

Jupiter Rx in your sector of shared resources makes a tense inconjunct to Chiron in your sign. Reevaluation of shared finances or intimacy issues will trigger brief moments of doubt. You may be looking closely at a chance to invest more, take on a loan, or get closer to someone. Consider the balance of opportunity versus how vulnerable you’ll feel – it’s ok to back off for now while you decide if you’re ready. 

Mercury/Mars offers a background nudge. Actions related to financial/emotional security may be inspired by a gut feeling or hard-to-define sense of possibility. Too, an unconfirmed idea may be energized (and confirmed) by external actions. Trust what happens naturally – this won’t require much effort. 

The Sun into your sign can increase your sense of fate and possibility – you’re at the right place, right now. What’s meant to be will emerge easily and simply. What doesn’t belong to you will fall away, no matter how hard you try to maintain it. 

Horoscopes for January 29th to February 5th, 2017

Overview

Mercury conjoins Pluto in Capricorn on January 29th, bringing us profound messages that unearth the truth. Information will have a significant power – dead ideas will be dismantled, and investigations will be relentless. Mercury’s square to Uranus on January 31st indicates this power will be connected to the disruption of tradition, rules or commitments. Words will be confrontational, but Mercury’s sextile to Chiron in Pisces (February 1st) also indicates a necessary release. What comes out will have the power to heal, and Mercury’s square to Jupiter on February 2nd adds positive potential. There could be an unexpected opportunity in all this. Too, the square to Jupiter can expand the entire situation, increasing the urge to speak out and push the issue (for better or worse).

These aspects can be interpreted as one aspect, known as a T Square. Mercury/Pluto is the focal point of tension from both ends of the separating Jupiter/Uranus opposition. The Cardinal signs are activated, so there will be a push to do something with information (Mercury). It won’t be easy.You may have to be uncompromising. You will certainly be pressured to respond, or decide.  

Conversations will veer off in unexpected directions. You won’t be able to avoid a verbal smackdown whose time has come, but you don’t need to exaggerate (Jupiter) the issue. Stick to the facts, stay in the moment, and resist the urge to make wild promises or statemetns. Accept the truth that’s revealed, and keep your eyes open for the silver lining (Jupiter). Words will be the keys that unlock everything.

After the shake up comes a new chapter, as Venus enters Aries on February 3rd. Relationships, money, self-esteem and personal values will be infused with new confidence and assertiveness. Venus attracts, but this sign is ruled by action-planet Mars (which will also be in Aries). There’s a feeling of going after what you want, even if you don’t have a conscious plan. Attractions will be impulsive, instinctive and competitive. Self-esteem can increase in proportion to the challenge that’s presented. This is not a calm influence, but it is hot and vital. 

Aries

Aspects to Mercury in your career sector, including the square to Uranus in your sign, can uncover some surprising truths about authority, the structure of your job, or your professional image. A discussion or announcement may be the final trigger that pushes you out of an existing job, or onto a new path. You may decide to rebel against someone’s declaration, or challenge an uncompromising statement. Too, you may catch wind of an exciting opportunity that’s not without risk. As disruptive as these energies are, you will find some relief as a hidden area of discontent is finally addressed. 

Venus into your sign can confirm that your above responses were on target. Or, if you bit off more than you can chew, Venus will bring positive responses, or something new to look forward to. In general, Venus enhances your attraction power, whether you’re attracting romance or financial/professional opportunities. Along with Mars in your sign, Venus can encourage you (even more than usual) to compete. 

Taurus

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of opportunities can boost your confidence enough that you say “yes” to something unexpected. Long-distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing are possible areas where you’ll be urged to explore, or make your voice heard. This can be about going public with a surprising announcement, or being motivated by a powerful cause. While you’re at it, an area of social discomfort will also be addressed.

Venus into your hidden sector suggests the above energies will urge you to look more closely at a hidden or undeveloped potential. Venus joins Mars in this sector, suggesting a secret attraction/project is gathering momentum. You’re starting to see how an ultimate goal or dream may be possible. 

Gemini

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of shared resources can uncover buried information, involving finances, intimacy or psychological issues. The discovery/conversation is likely to be intense, as old habits/ideas are blown away. Too, developments around debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances, or physical/emotional intimacy can accelerate to the point where you feel overwhelmed, even if the developments are positive. Questions about success, authority or your career path will be easily answered.

Venus into your social sector sees you ready to connect with new people. Romantically or platonically, you’ll be attracting others – the vibe is impulsive, fast-moving and competitive. People may come and go quickly. Nonetheless, this is an excellent influence for making new connections, or for a public launch. 

Cancer

Aspects to Mercury in your partnership sector suggest a discussion, realization or introduction that upsets the power balance between you and another. You may be shocked and/or thrilled, but your approach to one-on-one relations will change. A rebalancing will be needed, and a new way of compromising will be necessary (althoughcompromise will be difficult). Domestic and career discussions can be triggers. Despite the disruption, this can actually make a distant possibility seem more approachable. 

Venus into your career sector can attract the right people. Watch for others who can help you get ahead, or who are receptive to what you’re selling. Relationships with management, and your professional image, should receive a nice boost as well. If there’s something new you’re thinking of trying (a business launch, image overhaul or work idea) now’s the time. A professional challenge could bring out the best in you. 

Leo

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of routine can present a surprising solution or workaround. Heath issues, routine tasks or obligations can receive a shake-up in the form of a discussion or discovery that clarifies what you need to fix. Too, an abrupt change could open up new possibilities, as old routines/work are revealed to be invalid. Watch for an opportunity to heal (or at least improve) a private issue. 

Venus into your sector of opportunities builds on the above energy, as changes/revelations push you out of your comfort zone. Travel, long-distance romance, education, legal matters or publishing are areas where you can attract favourable results. Even if you’re not sure what you really want, finding out will be half the fun. 

Virgo

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of self-expression can urge you to speak out about something you really want. Romance, creative efforts or children/pregnancy are areas where you could make demands. Or, you could be hit with unexpected good news. Your confidence should increase as you realize that you’re entitled to more, and that your words/ideas are the keys to manifesting. For some, surprising developments in finances will disrupt existing plans, and may push you to approach a personal/creative goal in anew way. Your increase in confidence, or your willingness to take a risk, can help you address a lingering relationship issue. 

Venus’ entrance to your sector of shared resources can see you ready to spend/invest more, on a financial or emotional level. Romance looks hot, but any area where you’re ready to commit more energy will benefit. Are you prepared to go all the way, in order to get what you truly desire? There’s a risk with these influences, but sometimes you have to move forward with no guarantees. 

Libra

Aspects to Mercury in your domestic sector, including the square to Jupiter in your sign, can bring surprising news involving home or family. A relocation, home business, family discussion or discovery of past information could turn the tide in your favour. Too, your impulsive idea/declaration could disrupt the existing family structure, for the better. There could also be an unexpected announcement from a partner. These changes will help you deal with slippery routines or health issues. 

Venus into your partnership sector suggests that after the initially disruptive surge of intel, you’ll run with the challenge. Or, there may be a new reason to step up your game and respond to a challenge. For all your harmony and politeness, you know that you’re one of the more competitive signs. All one-on-one relationships are favoured, and there’s the possibility of a sizzling new attraction. 

Scorpio

Aspects to Mercury in your communication sector suggest a crucial discussion, discovery or piece of information. New words/ideas will transform existing plans, or change your mind. There may be flash of clarity, or an upsetting change (involving health or routine) that can actually benefit you as it uncovers a previously unrealized potential. Too, you may be hit with a surge of inspiration that you just have to share. Good news can hit when you least expect it, and it may be in the guise of of something that’s initially not so great. Watch for an opportunity to turn these unexpected events into something that feeds your creativity, eases your insecurities or pushes you to take a small risk. 

Venus into your sector of routine adds improves relations regarding work or health matters. Co-worker relationships can be edgy but positive, and you may find that you attract the help you need. Self-care and self-improvement are favoured. Too, you could be ready to approach a relationship with assertively helpful energy. You’ll know what you need to do, and you’ll be ready to jump in.   

Sagittarius

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of personal resources can bring surprising financial news. An uncompromising discussion/discovery can deliver the opportunity to earn more, or it can shock you into changing the way you spend. Too, you could reach your limit and discover the newfound confidence to ask for what you really need. Family history may be addressed in the process. 

Venus into your sector of self-expression can bring celebrations, attractions or creative confidence. New business developments can draw favourable attention your way. Or, you may just feel like cutting loose and taking a risk. Watch your money – expenses can take you by surprise. 

Capricorn

Aspects to Mercury in your sign ((including the conjunction to Pluto) can abruptly change your mind about a crucial decision, or reveal a truth that’s been simmering for awhile. You’ve got the power and focus to cut through the crap and make a definitive choice, no matter how disrupted you feel. A wake-up call or confrontational discussion can benefit you. Too, there could be an opportunity to advance at work, or grab attention for your ideas. All discussions, no matter now challenging, will offer relief as you finally address a sore spot. 

Venus into your domestic sector can see you feeling positive about family, home improvements, a home business, or domestic relationship. You may have the urge to change things up, enhance your environment or celebrate with those closest to you. 

Aquarius

Aspects to Mercury in your hidden sector can help you connect the dots in unexpected ways. A background realization or flash of intuition will involve the death of an outdated idea. Too, hidden information can come to light, and this can propel you into positive new territory. This will be accompanied by a sense of relief, as you address a financial or emotional insecurity.

Venus into your communication sector adds positive energy to all exchanges of information. Emails, phone calls, brief conversations/introductions can help you reach out and make the best impression, or attract someone’s attention. Excellent for networking, winning people over, selling, or simply engaging in fun/flirtatious exchanges. Confrontational discussions can feel good, as you test your intelligence against someone. If you’re not sure about saying it/writing it, the answer is “yes.”

Pisces

Aspects to Mercury in your social sector suggest a disruptive public announcement or conversation. A friendship, group activity, or your public image, may be shaken and stirred due to a reveal. Even if you’re the one who initiates this, you won’t have control over the results. Be prepared for unexpected ripples. Mercury’s harmonious connection with Chiron in your sign suggests this will be a necessary confrontation, and ultimately it will feel good to let it out. 

Venus into you sector of personal resources adds attraction power where you need it the most. Earned money, sources of income, self-esteem and personal values can all receive a shot of optimism, as you zero in on a new development or source of potential. This transit can also pump up your sense of entitlement, pushing you to fight for what you need.

Overview

January 25th brings us a hypersensitive Venus/Chiron conjunction in Pisces. It’s connected to January 16th’s Mars/Chiron conjunction (painful/compassionate actions). This time, compassionate love and empathy will come from the realization that beauty is imperfect. Or, that pain and healing are part of loving and letting go. This leads us to the January 27th Venus square to Saturn in Sagittarius, which will clarify the hard limits around what you want/love. Mars/Chiron’s actions will have led you to Venus/Chiron’s results. 

The synergy between Aquarius and Saturn continues. The January 19th Mars/Saturn square was aligned with the Sun’s ingress into Aquarius. Now, the January 27th Aquarius New Moon is joined by a Venus/Saturn square. New beginnings will involve the awareness of what’s being denied. If you’re able to approach this with measured thoughtfulness, you should be ok. A degree of detachment, self-reliance and self-control is expected.

Fortunately, Mars enters Aries on January 28th, gaining full strength and adding significant energy to this new chapter. The frustrations of the Mars/Saturn square will have been surpassed, and you can dive into something brand new. Mars in Aries grants you courage and the desire to keep fighting, even as you accept limits in another area of your life.  

Aries

Venus in your hidden sector activates Chiron/Saturn, revealing the pain behind a secret or unrealistic want. There may be a reality check about what you can’t have, or a hidden insecurity (about love, money, beauty) could be triggered. The discomfort of arelationship ending may be quite intense, even though no one else sees it. 

The New Moon in your social sector asks you to step out, no matter how insecure you’re feeling. There’s a new chapter involving friends, groups or your public image – maybe you’re wiping the slate clean, or taking a public risk. Mars into your sign adds courage and confidence, while urging you to move on from that background pain. There’s no time to feel sorry for yourself, and that’s not your style anyway. Feel the pain and keep moving forward.

Taurus

Venus in your social sector activates Chiron/Saturn. You may feel exposed, as a vulnerability or rejection goes public. Money and/or intimacy could be very awkward, as what you’re lacking is revealed. There may be a public apology or uncomfortable acknowledgement. 

The New Moon in your career sector urges you to approach future goals, your professional image, or relationships with authority, in a new way. This chapter will be defined by financial or relationship limits, and that’s part of your new approach – you’re taking a dispassionate inventory of your skills, ambitions and ability to succeed. Mars into your hidden sector suggests part of this will involve stepping back and energizing less obvious goals that have been on the back burner. There are a ton of unknowns, but the old, familiar path is no longer working. 

Gemini

Venus in your career sector activates Chiron/Saturn. Relationships, both personal and professional, are the focus. There could be disappointment or hurt feelings, as you become aware of the limits between you and another. Your connection to someone in authority, or a partner, will be tested, and you’ll have to deal with your own vulnerabilities regarding success. 

Nonetheless, the New Moon in your sector of opportunities points the way to something better. A door could open around travel, education, legal matters or publishing. You will still have to deal with current limits in your professional life, but it’s also time for you to move forward. Mars into your social sector adds fuel to new developments – networking, friends or group activities are excellent targets for your ambitions. 

Cancer

Venus in your sector of opportunities activates Chiron/Saturn. Travel, long-distance romance, education, legal matters or publishing can be areas where you feel like you’ve gone too far. Venturing into the unknown or taking a risk can reveal painful moments, as you are confronted with the practical limits of your current responsibilities. Too, a new development may require more work before you get what you want. 

The New Moon in your sector of shared resources asks you to take a new approach to shared finances or intimacy. Even as you deal with daily limits, know that it’s the perfect time to allow some fresh air into an issue that’s been hidden or denied. An uncomfortable subject (debts, problems with a partner) may require an unusualapproach. Mars’ move into your career sector adds energy and confidence, encouraging you to compete, start a job search, or try something new regarding your professional image. 

Leo

Venus in your sector of shared resources activates Chiron/Saturn. What you want, in the areas of money or intimacy, may not be fully available. Too, a moment of vulnerability or sharing may not work out as you’d hoped. A partner could also reveal something painful, that makes you aware of limits on your self-expression. 

The New Moon in your relationship sector connects the above events to a new partnership chapter. A new or existing relationship will demand a clear, rational approach, and a mature acceptance of boundaries. However, Mars into your sector of opportunities says there’s more on the horizon, whether you’re beginning or ending a partnership. This is the time to discover something new that fires your passions, even if there’s one thing you can’t have. 

Virgo

Venus in your partnership sector activates Chiron/Saturn. A relationship weakness or sore spot will be exposed, but this is a necessary part of developments in your love life. Accepting an insecurity, fear or anxiety about joint future goals or domestic responsibilities can bring you and a partner closer, if you’re both ready to do the work. It’s not a fun influence, but it’s part of growing together. Or, defining what’s best for you in future relationships, if you’re on your own. 

The New Moon in your sector of routine hi-lights a new health/work scenario, or obligation. This will be a chance to upgrade, improve or fix an existing domestic problem, and it will call for a cool,  disciplined approach. Do what needs to be done, and try to keep your emotions (and resentments) out of it. Mars into your sector of shared resources energizes matters involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances, or intimacy. A new surge of passion or initiative can help you tackle existing issues, or light the fire between you and your partner. However, arguments can also be triggered. Much depends on your approach to the other influences noted above – a clear acceptance of responsibilities (and a more disciplined approach to self-care) will work in your favour.     

Libra

Venus in your sector of routine activates Chiron/Saturn. Issues of service, sacrifice or not being fully appreciated for your contributions, could come up. Too, self-care/self-improvement may be enforced by unavoidable rules. Instructions or defined tasks will focus you on a necessity. 

The New Moon in your sector of self-expression insists that the above limits are part of your new “me first” chapter. Any uncomfortable issues that impact your self-esteem, health or confidence are prompts for you to approach a creative or romantic area from a different angle. You’re starting fresh, and moving into more independent territory. Mars’ move into your partnership sector adds new momentum to your love life. A relationship can receive a surge of passion and innovation. If you’re single, this influence can bring more action/attraction, although you may find that you’re happy doing your own thing for a while. 

Scorpio

Venus in your sector of self-expression activates Chiron/Saturn. A romantic or creative limit will be reached, and there could be a temporary impact on your feelings of self-worth or attractiveness. Who you are is not defined by what you want, and any limits you encounter will clarify this. Too, you may be confronted by heavy responsibilities involving children/pregnancy, an artistic project, or a personal goal. 

The New Moon in your domestic sector ties the above influences into home and family matters. This new chapter will urge you to step back from old, emotional patterns or family traditions. Perhaps you will take on the role of parent, literally or metaphorically. Mars’ move into your sector of routine can increase your workload, but also your energy. You’ll be ready to shoulder increased obligations. Too, this could be about you doing an early spring cleaning after a painful disappointment. There’s no better influence to jumpstart your personal upgrade. 

Sagittarius

Venus in your domestic sector conjoins Chiron, and squares Saturn in your sign. Domestic relationships can be a mix of loving, sad and painful. A wound from the past may come to light, and you’ll have an obligation to deal with it. There will be limits around certain relationships, but your responsibilities will be clear. It’s up to you to be the adult. 

The New Moon in your communication sector indicates that the above limits will define a new message, conversation, official document or dealings with siblings. Even though you’ll be constrained by certain rules, this is a fresh chapter. Mars into your sector of self-expression adds confidence, sparkle and courage – it’s time to light a new fire. Creativity, new romance, performance or celebrations can benefit from this energy. 

Capricorn

Venus in your communication sector activates Chiron/Saturn. A conversation, piece of information or contact with siblings can involve a bitter-sweet goodbye, or apology. Awareness of a sensitive issue will increase your empathy, but background limits will define your responses. 

The New Moon in your sector of personal resources adds in themes of earned money, personal values or self-esteem. Watch for a new beginning in what you earn, how you earn it, or what you require for baseline security. A calm evaluation of the necessities, rather than wants driven by neediness, will keep you on track to getting what you need. Mars into your domestic sector can trigger disagreements with family, but it can also add motivation to make changes/repairs at home. 

Aquarius

Venus in your sector of personal resources activates Chiron/Saturn, stirring up feelings of insecurity, or doubts about worthiness. Too, a financial shortfall could claim your attention. Questions about how hard you work, and what you must do to earn money, will be raised. Remember to forgive yourself for what you don’t have – some achievements are not valid for you, and you’ll realize that they wouldn’t have made you happy. 

But the New Moon in your sign insists that this fresh chapter is yours, and any limits you’re experiencing are meant to push you forward. Your focus will be absolute, because you’ll know exactly what’s off the table, and what you have to do next. Mars into your sector of information adds punch to your communication – your ideas and conversations will be blunt, enthusiastic and no-nonsense. Perfect if you’ve got something to say, if you’re looking for a new job, or you need to deliver a verbal smackdown. Mars can inspire, while giving you the courage to  say “No” or “This is what I’m doing now.”

Pisces

Venus conjoins Chiron in your sign, and squares Saturn in your career sector. Work responsibilities, or career dissatisfaction, may cause you to question your self-worth. Demands connected to success, status and authority will limit and define your self-image, while pushing you to confront an area where you’ve given up, given in, or lost yourself. Saturn can also remind you that it’s time to get your act together.

The New Moon in your hidden sector suggests external events will trigger a background potential. There’s something new behind the scenes, although it may only be a whisperat the moment. Mars into your sector of personal resources builds on this new awareness, by pushing you to become assertive when it comes to what you’re worth, and what you need/earn. It may be time to actively demand that you’re given what you deserve. Or, that you do the work to ensure your security.

Overview

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

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

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

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

Aries

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

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

Taurus

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

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

Gemini

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

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

Cancer

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

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

Leo

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

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

Virgo

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

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

Libra

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

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

Scorpio

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

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

 

Sagittarius

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

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

Capricorn

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

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

Aquarius

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

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

Pisces

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

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

Horoscopes for January 1st to January 8th, 2017

Overview

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

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

Aries

Venus into your hidden sector/Mercury Rx into your sector of opportunities, frees up undefined possibilities. A second chance with situations involving travel, education, legal issues or publishing can reveal what you overlooked. Too, the truth behind a story/promise may be under review. Once Mercury stations direct, you’ll be able to move forward with what you’ve learned- intuition will be just as important as the facts. In some cases, there will be a sense of relief as you finally let go of what could never be. 

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

Taurus

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

Sun/Pluto in your sector of opportunities can hi-light more ethical issues, involving education, travel, legal matters or publishing. Power can be used to create transformations with far-reaching consequences, for better or worse. An opportunity to reach further or learn more can benefit you, and Venus over the South Node hooks this into a meeting with someone significant. Too, Venus/South Node can signal the public culmination of a past relationship issue. It may be time to openly acknowledge something. 

Gemini

Venus into your career sector delivers benefits in the form of business relationships, public recognition or a boost to your professional image. Benefits will not be clearly defined, and may not be all about you. There could also be a bitter-sweet reminder of how a career dream just isn’t realistic. Mercury Rx into your partnership sector sees you focused on a particular one-on-one connection (business or romantic). As Mercury stations direct, reviews of joint goals, commitments or promises will result in progress. Looking closely at a belief about the other person may be key. 

Sun/Pluto unites in your sector of shared resources, and issues around debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy will be pronounced. You may have to release control (although you never had complete control over this). Deep changes will be triggered by your emerging awareness of how far you can take something. Venus over the South Node can put you in touch with someone from the past, who has a significant impact on your career and future goals. External relationships, or a noticeable shift in your professional image, will be related to internal changes that Sun/Pluto stirs up. You can experience power, authority and status in a relationship, on all levels. 

Cancer

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

Sun/Pluto in your partnership sector spotlights changes in your love life, or a specific change in the life of your partner. Themes will include a redefinition of partnership or a a restructuring of boundaries and responsibilities. Don’t let fear hold you back – this transformation is essential. Venus/South Node aligns these changes with the urge to go further, or release what’s been blocking progress. A long-distance romance could develop. Too, an ideal/hope could reach a point where it’s time to define it, or let it go.  

Leo

Venus into your sector of shared resources suggests favourable developments involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. Venus can increase what you receive, spend or give. She can also indicate there’s more between you and another, although you’ll have to double-check boundaries. Mercury Rx into your sector of self-expression can see you looking back at a previous attraction or creative impulse. Along with Venus, a romantic connection or issue involving performance/art can be renewed. Too, it may feel good to invest everything – just make sure you’re not setting yourself up for a loss. As Mercury goes direct, the situation may shift again, due to a change of heart. 

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

Virgo

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

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

Libra

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

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

Scorpio

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

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

Sagittarius

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

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

Capricorn

Venus into your sector of communication graces all contacts, conversations and your general outlook, with gentle optimism. Messages can be be laced with love, flirtation or simple affection. Mercury Rx into your hidden sector suggests one of these messages may be connected to your closer look at a secret or previously obscured issue. As Mercury stations direct, you’ll be ready to come out with you’ve learned, or integrate background/intuitive information into your conscious plans. 

Sun/Pluto in your sign indicates a boost of power, intensity and focus- a goal or plan could come together quite nicely, due to your determined push. Venus/South Node ties this in with a significant message or conversation that releases all the feels. A rush of tears, empathy and happiness could be the result, as something familiar is unlocked. There could be a goodbye, or opportunity to move forward with a relationship or creative development. 

Aquarius

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

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

Pisces

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

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

Overview

December 26th delivers the game-changers. Mars conjoins the Pisces South Node, releasing an issue whose time has come. Anger, passion or intensified idealism can trigger actions that stir the waters of the past. The water could be contaminated or pure, but the Capricorn Sun’s trine to the Virgo North Node suggests significant improvement, if you sort the illusions from the facts. The opposition between Jupiter in Libra and Uranus Rx in Aries also perfects on this day, adding sudden, strong reversals or culminations. There could be a lucky break, or a break with the past. Either way, it’s all about the future, which supports the North Node path. 

There are a plethora of influences around the Capricorn New Moon.

December 27th sees a sextile between the Sun and Mars, which feeds into the Sun’s conjunction with Mercury Rx on December 28th, and Mercury’s sextile to Mars. On December 29th, we have the New Moon in Capricorn, which conjoins Mercury Rx and makes a sextile to Mars. Mercury Rx’s reviews or delays will clarify something, and this information will result in a new beginning. Mars adds a gentle push – it will be appropriate to act, but Mercury’s continuing Rx means the whole story is yet to be revealed. Respond accordingly. 

A square between Saturn in Sagittarius and Chiron (Wounded Healer) in Pisces, on December 28th, means there’s going to be some discomfort. Where you can’t go, or what you must do, will hurt. There’s no getting around this one, but it’s part of the New Moon’s influences, so keep your eye on that new beginning. Uranus direct in Aries on December 29th says there will be progress, no matter what happens. It could be that Jupiter’s big push was necessary to get the ball rolling.

A Mars/Neptune conjunction greets the New Year, on January 1st. The Mars/South Node activation can lead to a moment of pure magic, passionate dreams, or dissolution. 

Aries

Mars/the Sun aspecting the Nodes can release a secret or unforeseen issue. What’sunseen or ignored will be placed in the context of your daily reality, and it should be easy for you to work with. Watch for positive developments in health or career, as you integrate routines with bigger goals. Jupiter opposite Uranus Rx in your sign can accelerate a relationship – whether you’re moving forward together or apart, mutual freedom will be the issue.

The New Moon and Mercury Rx in your career sector spotlight a past job, discussion with management or detail about your professional image. Reviewing goals, status or contributions has led to this moment – there may be talk of a job offer or change in your current position. Too, plans for your future (job search, career change, business launch) may be falling into place. Uranus direct in your sign indicates this is a crucial part of your forward momentum, and you’ll feel some urgency. But Mercury Rx indicates things are still in flux – details may change before Mercury stations direct. Saturn/Chiron will trigger an unacknowledged weakness, as new professional goals/developments leave you feeling exposed or unprepared. This will be an opportunity to confront something you’ve been avoiding. 

Mars/Neptune in your hidden sector can fuel a fantasy, push you to fight for a ideal, or dilute your ambitions. Much depends on how you handle what’s undefined. 

Taurus

Mars/the Sun aspecting the Nodes will draw your attention to a friendship, public issue or public cause. There may be familiar tension with someone (even if you’ve just met) with the connection challenging you in unusual ways. The desire to protest, rally or fight may be pronounced, as an ideal fires you up. Too, a public launch or performance could be featured. Jupiter/Uranus Rx amplify the feeling of excitement, and your urge to make a dramatic change in work or health routines. For some, there may be an unexpected job opportunity.

The New Moon and Mercury Rx in your sector of opportunities reveals details about where you’re going and what you’re exploring. A pause and shift in travel plans, education, legal matters or publishing could be featured, or a reevaluation of how you’ve been expressing your ideas. Uranus direct in your hidden sector suggests another piece of the puzzle falling into place, giving you insight on your next step. You may not be able to prove what you’re feeling, but trust your gut. Saturn/Chiron mix in painful realizations about money, debt or the status of an intimate relationship. 

Mars/Neptune in your social sector add empathy and magic to what Mars over the South Node triggered. Too, you may find yourself wandering far from the original path. Check your actions carefully, because a misstep will have public consequences. On the other hand, correct action can easily create positive ripples in many people’s lives. It’s a question of intentions – are yours aimed at benefiting others?

Gemini

Mars/the Sun aspecting the Nodes bring a career issue, or issue with management, to a peak. It may be time to step away from what you can no longer control, or redirect your ambition. Home, family and domestic relationships can benefit, and there may be some positive financial news related to career changes. Jupiter/Uranus gift you with a flash of good luck, public recognition, romance or unexpected developments involvingchildren/pregnancy. 

The New Moon and Mercury Rx in your sector of shared resources reveal facts about debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy.

Uranus direct in your social sector suggests private developments will be linked with public progress or consequences. Saturn/Chiron brings the tension between work and personal life to a head. Mutual goals will need to adjusted, as insecurities about success, accomplishment and status reveal sore spots.

The outcome hints at big plans, long- distance issues or idealistic philosophies being translated into immediate concerns. There may be an official statement or verbal/written commitment, along with a need for you put it into words. Jupiter/Uranus can present some surprises with home and family – watch for a sudden culmination involving relocation, home expansion, or new future goals. 

The New Moon and Mercury Rx in your partnership sector hi-lights an important discovery or conversation. The issue may be old (or you may reconnect with someone from the past) but the clarity will gift you with new insight about where you and another are heading. Uranus direct in your career sector suggests these new developments will include an acceleration in future plans, or a complete break from tradition. Saturn/Chiron suggests increased pressure and anxiety around health, work routines or obligations. 

Mars/Neptune in your sector of opportunities can urge you to shoot for distant horizons and elevated adventures, but make sure what you’re charging towards is not all in your head. Exploration, travel or reaching a wider audience are also suggested – use a reliable map (literally and metaphorically), because you’re heading into uncharted waters. 

Leo

Mars/the Sun activating the Nodes suggests a turning point involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. Simmering anger, frustration or passion can erupt, and past issues of questionable behaviour may be a theme. Too, you could experience a surge of determination to get certain issues under control.

Jupiter/Uranus Rx add in a surprise announcement, or unexpected answer that you’ve been hoping for.

Mars/Neptune in your sector of shared resources can dissolve your sense of control, your willpower or anger. This aspect could also make it very clear that you can’t influence another, so it’s best to concentrate on what you do have control over (your behaviour). Use caution with all financial scenarios, especially where debts are involved. 

Virgo

Mars over the South Node (in your partnership sector) and the Sun trining the North Node in your sign brings a relationship issue to a head. It may be time to say goodbye to a particular person, or relationship habit. Your efforts to move forward from distracting relationships/behaviour can pay serious dividends. The direct results will a noticeable increase in your confidence and initiative. An existing relationship can benefit, as previously undefined commitments are solidified. Jupiter/Uranus Rx suggests there’s more (much more) waiting for you – watch for a boost in self-esteem, income or security. Too, a big expense or urge to treat yourself can result in unexpected debt. 

The New Moon and Mercury Rx in your sector of self-expression give you fresh information about a new attraction, creative project or issue involving children/pregnancy. Delays or revisions give you a renewed sense of purpose, and Uranus direct in your sector of shared resources will loosen the last, remaining chains that have kept you stuck in a negative habit. Saturn/Chiron suggests an ongoing domestic relationship issue will reach a crisis point – look closely at what your responsibilities are, while acknowledging that you can’t force someone to conform to your standards. 

Mars/Neptune in your partnership sector can bring moments of disappointment, paranoia or dreamy passion. Much depends on your actions, and whether the other person is trustworthy. If anxiety-fuelled arguments are triggered, consider what you know to be trues versus what you’re worried about.

Libra

Mars/the Sun aspecting the Nodes signals a shift in your work routine, job, health or obligations. It may be time to walk away from an unhealthy lifestyle or stressful job. Your actions on a daily basis (especially at home) will be instrumental in opening a door to something more in line with your ultimate goals. Consider how you’ve been handling increased stress and service to others. Uranus Rx opposite Jupiter in your sign can give you the push you need, with an abrupt but positive change in a relationship, or your love life in general.

Changes in a relationship can shed light on deeper issues at home. Saturn/Chiron suggests a painful but necessary conversation that may involve an unpleasant duty. 

Mars/Neptune in your sector of routine can be a time to let go of unbalanced behaviour that puts your self-care last, on your list of priorities. A problem or extra obligation may fade, without any effort on your part. Or, you may be confronted with something that you’ve let slide.  

Scorpio

Mars/the Sun aspecting the Nodes can be your moment to shine, regarding romance, performance or creative work. Imagination and creativity are enhanced, but so is indulgent/escapist/addictive behaviour. You may be ready to go public, or walk away from an undermining fantasy. Jupiter/Uranus Rx provide an unexpected flash of insight that helps you find a workaround or loophole.

Information delivered by this New Moon could be connected to a new job, job loss or medical news. Saturn/Chiron can see you attempting to control a desired result, or hesitating, due to insecurities. If it’s not happening naturally, it was never meant to happen. 

Mars/Neptune in your sector of self-expression suggests a birth or peak moment of romance and celebration. It can also be peak moment of oblivion-inducing indulgence. By all means, enjoy yourself. But use caution – the point is not to lose yourself (even if it seems tempting). Actions can easily push you towards an unwise risk. 

Sagittarius

Mars/the Sun aspecting the Nodes signal a tipping point in a home/family scenario. A simmering domestic dispute can erupt, as can family history. Take note of where you’re directing your energy – towards the past or future? Anything that is stirred up also holds the potential to propel you forward, as you release ties to undermining habits or childhood roles, and construct a new reality for yourself. Jupiter/Uranus Rx add encouragement with a surprising opportunity to go public, break new ground, promote yourself or celebrate a new version of yourself (rather than following old scripts). 

The New Moon and Mercury Rx in your sector of personal resources give you more information about earned money, self-esteem and personal values. Questions, reviews and delays about finances can reveal a new strategy or source of income. Going back over your “must haves” or readjusting your boundaries can also put you on firmer ground. Uranus direct in your sector of self-expression adds to your confidence and desire to break away from anything that’s been restricting you. Chiron’s square to Saturn in your sign can make you question your approach, or the excess responsibilities that are on your plate. It may be time to address domestic tensions, and how much you’re willing to handle. Do you really have to carry it all?

Mars/Neptune in your domestic sector can diffuse a domestic argument, or give you a shot of inspiration on how to handle it. Home renovations, breakdowns or repairs could be troublesome.

Capricorn

The Sun in your sign, and Mars in your communication sector aspecting the Nodes,  can trigger an argument, stormy discussion or passionate decision. The urge to speak out, either aggressively or with compassion, will be strong.

A public announcement, travel plans, or release of your words to a wider audience are possibilities. Jupiter/Uranus Rx add an unexpected leap forward – watch for a sudden result (and possible growth) in your career, professional status and future goals.

Uranus direct in your domestic sector adds forward progress on a relocation, family plan, home business or domestic relationship. Saturn/Chiron can press on a painful issue or topic of conversation – background changes and your overall efforts to end something can trigger uncomfortable memories or awkward demands.

Mars/Neptune in your communication sector suggests a surge of creativity, an impulsive rush of forgiveness, or vocalizing a wish/ideal. Thoughts have significant power here – consider what you’re putting out to the Universe.

Aquarius

Mars/the Sun aspecting the Nodes signals release and forward movement for a financial or self-esteem issue. This may be an “enough’s enough” moment, where anger, frustration or a desire to move on help you leave behind undermining attitudes/habits. The old approach to money and security is no longer working for you, so use this push to activate something different. You may be encouraged to trust more, let go of anxieties, get closer to someone or put your energy into something that has value only you can see. A shift in how you earn or invest may be featured.

Triggers will be related to friends, group associations or your public status/authority. 

Mars/Neptune in your sector of personal resources can see you pursuing a new source of income that’s more creative, or more closely aligns with what you really want to do. Income can expand under the right conditions, but if you’re careless with your spending/saving, you can end up hemorrhaging money.  

Pisces

Mars conjoins the South Node in your sign, and the Sun trines the North Node in your partnership sector. A key moment of anger, frustration, idealism or initiative may be featured. You could feel a push to go for it, or assert yourself. Follow that urge, because it can lead to a quality connection with someone special. The one-on-one relationship may be romantic, or simply a close friendship/valuable business partner. If there’s an ending, know that it’s probably the best thing for you. Jupiter/Uranus Rx deliver intensity, with a surprising surge of passion, or an abrupt shift in a financial or partnership situation. Events can deepen dramatically, and you’ll discover that you havemore to gain or lose than you realized. 

The New Moon and Mercury Rx in your social sector spotlight a friendship, group activity or your place in the public. Reconnecting with someone from the past can open a new door. Reevaluating your connections, or reconsidering public plans/an announcement can shed light on some interesting truths. The sextile to Mars in your sign encourages you to step forward and respond calmly. Uranus direct in your sector of personal resources accelerates a change in income, or desire to break away from invalid personal values. Saturn square Chiron in your sign suggests a difficult career situation – the steady increase in pressure to find a job, responsibilities in your job, or overall dissatisfaction with your work, can push you to a crisis moment. Something has to give. 

Mars/Neptune in your sign gift you with a surge of inspiration, or the initiative to go as far as you can. The dream is fired up, but if you’re unhappy or in escapist mode, this energy can trigger disillusionment. Your actions will quickly propel you down a certain path – make sure it’s the right one.

Overview

On December 19th, Mars enters Pisces and Mercury stations Rx in Capricorn. The flow of action will change, and so will communication and the application of information. Mars can be vague, passionately idealistic or escapist in Pisces, while Mercury Rx will put current rules, commitments and conditioning under review. The best approach is to accept delays/changes in plans, while keeping your actions/intentions as healthy and compassionate as possible.

Note that Mercury’s Rx will take place just before it conjoins Pluto, so there’s a powerful statement or decision coming up. But not yet. Use the Rx period wisely and look closely at the quality of what you’re conforming to. Mercury will station direct on January 8th. 

December 21st marks the Winter Solstice and the Sun’s ingress into Capricorn. The darkness of the longest night allows you to look more deeply at the foundations of your life, and the status/traditions that you’re conditioned to accept. 

On December 24th, Saturn in Sagittarius trines Uranus Rx in Aries, integrating change with focus. This can be a confirmation/easy application of something new to an existing structure. Saturn’s applying square to Chiron in Pisces (exact on December 28th) will be felt as pinch of doubt – restrictions, or the excess weight of responsibility, can leave you feeling bruised. Use the Uranus/Saturn trine and keep focusing on the future, even as you acknowledge what hurts right now. 

On December 25th, Venus in Aquarius trines Jupiter in Libra and makes a sextile to Uranus Rx and Saturn. Here’s a moment of hope, accessible to everyone. Venus in Aquarius is open to all that’s different, and expansive Jupiter laces this with joy and abundance. These aspects won’t erase your problems, but they can open your eyes to something better on the horizon. Optimism will be increased, no matter who you’re spending Christmas with. If you’re alone, you can be perfectly happy doing exactly what you want. 

Aspects to Venus, and the Saturn/Uranus trine, are part of a month-long configuration that I wrote about here. 

Aries

Mars into your hidden sector, and Mercury Rx in your career sector, can see you pulling back and reconsidering a career issue. Ambition may be temporarily on hold, as you look more closely at what lies underneath the official description. Watch for a return to a work conversation or job opportunity. Someone in management may change their mind, but the decision isn’t final, yet. As the Sun enters your career sector, status, success and future goals will be emphasized in light of what Mercury Rx is asking you to look twice at. 

Saturn trine Uranus Rx (in your sign) can solidify a brand new goal, or help you focus on what’s next. Travel, relocation, legal matters, education or publishing are favoured. Risk can be expertly calculated against reward, even as you deal with an unspoken vulnerability.

Aspects to Venus in your social sector add holiday cheer to all relationships. Friendships, new or existing romance, networking, sales, group celebrations – anything that sees you interacting with others should go smoothly, especially if you’re stepping outside your regular circle. 

Taurus

Mars into your social sector, and Mercury Rx in your sector of opportunities, sees your energy shifting to socialization. Friends, groups or social events will be activated, along with a closer look at future plans, ideals or long-term goals. There may be delays or rethinks involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. A public event, launch or cause may need to be approached in a different manner. The Sun into your opportunities sector will shed more light on what areas of expansion or knowledge need to be reevaluated. 

Saturn trine Uranus Rx is working in the background to solidify a financial or undeveloped goal. This influence can help you get behind-the-scenes issues in order, while adding form and function to an undefined dream. Debts, taxes, loans or your partner’s finances may be part of the picture. There may be some anxiety about revealing a financial truth, or going public with private issues. 

Aspects to Venus in your career sector can present encouraging developments regarding career, professional image or future goals. Strategic relationships are emphasized – someone can help you get a line on a job opportunity, or help you get ahead at work. Your efforts to put yourself out there and make connections will be key. You shouldn’t have to push; just be yourself. Also excellent for launching a website or home business. 

Gemini

Mars into your career sector, and Mercury Rx in your sector of shared resources, can compel you to look more deeply at career goals, your definition of success, or how you handle ambition. Relationships with management could be confusing, and a random action could trigger a profound rethink about what matters most. Debts, taxes, your partner’s finances, or intimate conversations could be areas where you need to backtrack or correct. The Sun’s entrance into your sector of shared resources spotlights all areas that you do not have complete control over, while shining a light on deeper issues that you normally avoid. 

Saturn trine Uranus Rx can offer improvement/confirmation in all relationships. Friendships, romantic partnerships and your social life can become more focused, but in a way that’s comfortable for you. You’ll have a better sense of who’s on your side, and where you stand with others.  Keep reminding yourself about who’s got your back, because you’ll also be dealing with some disappointments related to management or career goals. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of opportunities end the week on a happy note. There will be chances to celebrate, and possibly something special to celebrate (a long- distance romance, creative project or development with children/pregnancy). These influences encourage you to try something new, step out, show off or take a risk. Exploration and an open heart will attract rewards. Travel, education, publishing or legal matters look good as well. 

Cancer

Mars into your sector of opportunities, and Mercury Rx in your relationship sector, may push you to reconsider a relationship in light of the bigger picture. Too, you and a partner may revisit a past topic, or one person could change their mind about an impending change.  New developments involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing could be involved, or there may simply be a restless urge to push beyond what you already have. For some, a partner from the past could reappear. The Sun into your relationship sector will emphasize the quality of the connection between you and another. 

Saturn trine Uranus Rx keeps things steady, regarding career and future goals. Your discipline and sense of responsibility around daily work, routines and health can ensure the success of an ongoing change, while adding stability to a website or business launch. Watch for moments of tension, as some areas of expansion (involving foreign countries, legal matters or education) trigger difficulties – you may be less prepared than you thought. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of shared resources bring joy, on a private level. Home, family or quiet moments with someone special can bring love and happiness. You’ll be urged to enjoy what you have, and who’s around you. This energy is light, expansive and asks you to open your eyes to fresh developments that are occurring, right under your nose. Home improvements, home finances or a home business are also favoured, as well as a possible financial bonus. 

Leo

Mars into your sector of shared resources can stir up issues involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances, or physical/emotional intimacy. Passion and/or anger that leaves you feeling a bit out of control could come up. Mercury Rx in your sector of routine sees you pausing, just before a significant change involving health, work routines or responsibilities. Mars’ trigger of what you don’t have control over could be connected to this. You may need to reconsider and adjust your approach to daily method or solution. A significant upgrade to your life or work will be facilitated by corrections and revisions, and the Sun’s entrance into this sector can add fuel to your determination to do it right. 

Saturn trine Uranus Rx can confirm a desired goal, involving new romance, children/pregnancy, creative work, or self-confidence. The efforts you’ve applied to integrate change with existing responsibilities will be key, even as you tackle deeper insecurities about money, or fear of loss. 

Aspects to Venus in your relationship sector can bring holiday cheer to your love life, in the form of a new attraction, or romantic moments with an existing partner. Your optimistic ideas and conversations can move things in the right direction. Too, these influences support efforts to impress a business associate or potential client. 

Virgo

Mars into your partnership sector, and Mercury Rx in your sector of self-expression, can reconnect you with a past love, or reintroduce passion into an existing relationship. However, if things are going poorly between you and your partner, these influences can stir up conflict that pushes you to seriously reconsider if this connection is making you feel special. Mercury Rx can also see some delays before a significant investment in something you really want – whether it’s a romantic or a creative urge, use the time to make sure you’re prepared for the significant change that’s coming. The Sun’s entrance into your sector of self-expression reminds you of your responsibilities towards what’s most valuable.

Saturn trine Uranus Rx can solidify home finances, giving you more control over issues that were previously beyond your control. A debt could be cut down to size, or a sensitive relationship issue could be handled with calm focus. There will be moments of awkwardness as you and a partner cover some painful ground, but stay focused on your responsibilities. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of routine suggests improvements around health, work or obligations. There may be assistance when you need it most, or a small financial boost. Too, a new source of income could appear, just when you need it. You should be feeling lighter and more positive about what you need to do, and some responsibilities may be completely removed.  

Libra

Mars into your sector of routine, and Mercury Rx in your domestic sector, suggest more activity in the areas of work or health. Life can become busier, and more uncertain, as you attempt to tackle shifting routines and slippery obligations. This will be connected to delays around relocations, family discussions, or home improvements. Too, an issue from the past may demand your attention. The foundation of a family gathering or domestic issue may need to be adjusted. There is a significant decision or buried family issue that’s looming, but it’s not quite time to address it. The Sun’s entrance into your domestic sector will increase the emphasis on your traditions and foundation. 

Saturn trine Uranus Rx can assist you with clarity and focus, as your ideas, communication or planning abilities harmonize with a significant other. Too, an official document or agreement can proceed smoothly, even if the rules challenge a potential weak spot, or your fear that you’re not prepared. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of self-expression, including the trine from Jupiter in your sign, strongly suggest there’s holiday cheer for you. Focus on any benefits that have increased in your life, or your hope for the future. Your optimism, powers of attraction and ability to charm others will be in high gear – celebrate, indulge in some romance or just take a break and enjoy yourself. 

Scorpio

Mars into your sector of self-expression, and Mercury Rx in your communication sector, suggests the return of someone special. Or, your thoughts may turn in that direction. Mars will enhance your desire to make the first move and show others what you’ve got. At the same time, you’ll be reconsidering a conversation or idea. There will be delays before you make the big announcement or life-changing decision. Too, someone else could backtrack on what you thought was a done deal. Give it time, and distract yourself by pouring your energy into a desired outcome, celebration or personal goal. The Sun’s move into your communication sector will add energy to all matters involving communication, contacts and planning. 

Saturn trine Uranus Rx suggests positive developments for earned money and personal security. Your efforts to focus, work and become more disciplined about what you want can pay off, as changes in your work/daily life blend smoothly with enhanced security. You may be confronted by something you can’t have, or fears that you’re not good enough/talented enough – keep working your routine, and keep your focus on what you know needs to be accomplished. 

Aspects to Venus in your domestic sector suggest quietly joyful moments with family or close friends. Home (or someplace where you feel at home) is where you want to be. 

Sagittarius

Mars into your domestic sector, and Mercury Rx in your sector of personal resources, suggest delays and a shift in focus involving finances and home/family matters. More activity at home can be due to guests, minor breakdowns or arguments, while financial matters will require your attention as well. You may need to review financial statements, or take another look at your budget. A major purchase or financial decision will be put on hold. The Sun’s entrance into your sector of personal resources increases the focus on the foundations of your securityand self-esteem – shaky or solid will also be illuminated. 

Saturn in your sign trine Uranus Rx can confirm a personal goal you’ve been striving for, or deliver the payoff from a calculated risk. An unexpected attraction or rule-breaking romance can become an official relationship, with traditional overtones. Remind yourself of the excellent work you’ve done throughout the year, when old wounds or pain involving your responsibilities to family, resurface.

Aspects to Venus in your communication sector keep you in top form with all social activities. You’ll be able to converse with almost anyone, and everyone will be receptive to you. You could be the bringer of good cheer, and these aspects also favour sales, networking or promoting your business.  

Capricorn

Mars into your communication sector and Mercury Rx in your sign see you changing your mind about a “must do,” a boundary, judgement, burden or goal. You’re closing in on a major realization or commitment, but first, there’s prep work to do. Some rigid opinions need revising, and this will be accomplished by reviewing the facts, dealing with delays and pushing yourself to consider alternative options. Too, your opinions may be challenged. The Sun’s entrance into your sign puts you in the spotlight, while illuminating the true structure of your current goals, plans and status. Consider what you want to carry with you, into the New Year. 

Saturn trine Uranus Rx can confirm major changes at home/with family, while enabling your gradual move away from the past. A relocation, change in family or relationship status is progressing nicely, although you can expect some questions or awkward conversations to come up. Doubts you experience may be connected to reluctance about letting go of something that’s no longer viable. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of personal resources suggest things are looking bright for earned money, job prospects, career advancement and overall security and self-esteem. You may feel like treating yourself, and the future does look hopeful. 

Aquarius

Mars into your sector of personal resources, and Mercury Rx in your hidden sector, suggest a subtle shift in perspective, or hint that you should backtrack and reconsider. Developments involving earned money, personal values or self-esteem will energize you in unexpected ways. There may be something new to aim for, and this will call for a change of plans. If you feel the energy shift, roll with it. The Sun’s move into your hidden sector illuminates what’s behind the scenes, emphasizing the importance of what’s not obvious, or what transcends your daily routine.

Saturn trine Uranus Rx can confirm plans with friends, or confirm what you suspected about a friendship. Some of this may be due to others reacting to changes in your life, but it’s all enabling your forward progress. Watch for doubts about your financial or emotional security on this new path, but don’t let the uneasiness derail you. You’re moving in the right direction. 

Aspects to Venus in your sign gift you with a full helping of holiday joy. You’re likely to be more social this year – open to reaching out and trying new activities. Travel may be part of the picture. Whatever you end up doing, you’ll attract others, especially if you step outside your comfort zone. Excellent for making new contacts (romantic, friendship or business). 

Pisces

Mars into your sign, and Mercury Rx in your social sector, gives you extra passion and energy, while urging you to look more closely at a friendship, group association or public event. There may be a significant public announcement or decision that’s approaching, but you’ll have to deal with delays, first. Too, others can change their minds. Fortunately, Mars will give you the courage and drive to deal with this. The Sun’s move into your social sector hi-lights your position in the social hierarchy, and the value (or lack of )social connections in your life. 

Saturn trine Uranus Rx suggests positive confirmation involving a new job, job responsibilities or change in career path. Changes in earned income are managed withyour focus and authority, but the square to Chiron in your sign can see you questioning those changes. Career responsibilities, or a shift in job status, can leave you feeling vulnerable. Keep focusing on what’s next, while acknowledging potential weak spots. 

Aspects to Venus in your hidden sector can encourage a secret attraction, or boost your hopes for a private potential. Finances can benefit from an unexpected or inspired shot of creativity- your instincts should be strong here, so go with what feels right.

Overview 

The December 13th Full Moon in Gemini delivers a Moon/Saturn opposition, and a Jupiter in Libra/Uranus Rx in Aries opposition (with Ceres – fiery rebirth). These stressful aspects are connected with harmonious aspects, creating a unique mix of pressure and flow, limits and freedom (technically known as a Mystic Rectangle). Saturn will pinpoint one issue and essential reality. If you’re blocked, Jupiter/Uranus can present a loophole. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by any surprises that Jupiter/Uranus dish up, Saturn can keep you steady and focused on what needs to be done. 

Chiron in Pisces squares this Moon, and makes an awkward inconjunct to Jupiter. Events will not be pain free, but the Cardinal (Libra/Aries) and Mutable (Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces) qualities of this mix can help you push forward while dealing with contradictions. Despite Saturn, this can be a fast-acting Moon that offers you positive alternatives. 

Aries

The Full Moon in your communication sector points to an official document, conversation, decision or realization. You may feel some uneasiness with the results, especially if you’re pushed to give an answer. Aspects to Uranus Rx/Ceres in your sign suggest this could turn out well for you. The restrictions may not be so heavy. Look beyond the formalities and you’ll see encouragement for a personal project or new impulse that you’re passionate about. 

An either/or situation in a partnership (romantic or platonic) could also be a theme – commit or move on. Some of your uneasiness will be triggered by this. Relationship change will stir up “what ifs” that you’re not openly discussing. Consider what’s making you feel vulnerable, and why you’re holding back. 

Taurus

The Full Moon in your sector of personal resources hi-lights a choice or conversation about earned money, personal values or self-esteem. There’s a reality to confront, regarding what you’re earning, or what you need – you may not have enough, but this Moon will illuminate what you can do to change that. Your contributions versus a partner’s contributions may also be a theme. Insecurities will be emphasized, along with the tools you have to address them. There are multiple solutions within the limits you’re dealing with. You may need to approach finances/sources of income/security issues with more flexibility, and consider something that you normally wouldn’t.

Your work, self-improvement efforts and daily routines are crucial for turning the tide in a favourable direction. Growth and expansion is easy to achieve, because it involves the things you do each day. A breakthrough or surprising solution involving a work or health issues is possible. For now, don’t worry about the big picture – look at what you can improve in the immediate future. 

Gemini

The Full Moon in your sign hands you multiple issues. The choice or conversation involving a partnership, or your one-on-one contacts in general, can make you feel stuck. You may be asked to deal with an impossible work situation, or commit to something that you don’t feel great about. However, know that you’ve got innovation on your side. A friend, acquaintance or outside source of inspiration can help you get around a tight situation. There is one priority, but there are also more positives attached to it than youthink. 

Romance, celebrations, personal projects or self-expression are supported by this Moon, despite its limits. An ending can focus you on something that has greater potential. Or, you can finesse your way around an awkward situation and come out looking good. Keep talking, exploring alternatives, and get ready to take advantage of any happy surprises(even as you struggle with feeling self-conscious or unsuccessful).

Cancer

The Full Moon in your hidden sector can illuminate a blindspot related to work, obligations or health. There’s something you can no longer avoid or put off. Too, some information that you were unaware of could decide the matter. This is in line with your future goals and career progress – attention to the hidden matter can open new doors in your professional life, or encourage the development of a vibrant future. Too, an obligation or work/health restriction can have hidden benefits. 

Home and family life can benefit as well, as changes trickle down to all levels. A relocation, home business or expansion of your domestic life can progress quickly, even as you deal with fear of moving into new territory. If you start to feel overwhelmed by all the possibilities, bring your focus back to the immediate concerns. 

Leo

The Full Moon in your social sector hi-lights a confirmation and/or limit involving publicresponse to what you’re offering. It may be launch time, or time to cut your losses and consider a new project. Either way, the public results could leave you feeling exposed. Targeting a specific group may be an issue. Too, a friendship or group association could be clearly defined. As the confirmation settles, know that this can be your launch to something hopeful and unexpected. If you’re confronted with limits around self-expression or romance, consider searching in new territory. Branch out – you have more options. 

Communication is your ace in the hole. Keep talking, asking or making your ideas known. Push beyond the final answer. The response may be unexpected, but positive. As you gather information or advertise your ideas, some uncomfortable issues involving money or hidden insecurities will be raised. Acknowledge them, but don’t stop. 

Virgo

The Full Moon in your career sector can mark a career turning point, choice or reality check about your professional image. Domestic responsibilities versus career success can be an issue, with added pressure from a partner or family. However, there’s also something encouraging brewing in the background – progress in a financial or partnership situation is possible, and is supported by your domestic responsibilities. Continue doing what needs to be done.

Finances and/or emotional security can receive an unexpected boost. Or, a sudden change can present you with more resources than you anticipated. Keep your eyes open regarding new sources of income, or new ways to handle more on your plate. The results can pay big dividends, or allow you to deal with professional and personal pressures in the best possible way. 

Libra

The Full Moon in your sector of opportunities can mark a legal or official announcement, decision or ending. Words will manifest as an unbreakable commitment or structure, and you may have mixed feelings about this as the outcome leaves you vulnerable. Despite any concerns, know that steady progress in a relationship, or in your one-on-one contacts, is locked in place. Whatever direction you’re heading, it’s the best one for you. 

Aspects to Jupiter in your sign indicate that this is all in support of you. Events can come at you quickly, and you may feel unbalanced and overwhelmed. Perhaps you get what you were hoping for, but its not exactly what you expected. This could be a case of “careful what you wish for.” Nonetheless, everything that’s happening is supportive of the growth in your public identity, lifestyle, relationship or personal project. 

Scorpio

The Full Moon in your sector of shared resources can put you on the spot, regarding finances or an emotional exchange. You could feel pushed to agree to something that’s out of your control, or give/pay more than you feel comfortable with. Too, a financial reality may become unpleasantly clear. However, know that these limits will work for you, because there’s still room to incorporate ongoing changes in your work or daily life. Your focus and ability to make the correct changes will be enhanced. 

Watch for a breakthrough, positive change in your daily routine/health or solution to a problem. There are hidden benefits to this Moon that you won’t be aware of, at first. 

Sagittarius

The Full Moon in your partnership sector can bring a relationship decision,  turning point or ending. Aspects to Saturn in your sign can increase the pressure – your increased responsibilities and focus on what’s essential to you will be key. You may feel that you have no choice, or that the conclusion is inevitable. Innovation or breaking with tradition can work in this situation that appears to be a done deal. You may not be able to change the outcome (and you may not want to) but you can certainly make room for your personal expression and freedom. 

The urge to make things public, or speed up favourable results, can see you pushing for more. The results may catch you off guard, and social/relationship outcomes will be connected to developments involving children/pregnancy, creative work or your desire for romantic self-expression. 

Capricorn

The Full Moon in your sector of routine hi-lights a work or health issue. A transition or ending may put the pressure on, although it will be from the background. The external results could manifest as excess obligations or stress related symptoms. Discussions with co-workers, or conversations about what needs to be done, could raise doubts and vulnerabilities. Nonetheless, your attention to detail is an important part of major family/domestic changes. Smooth progress (especially involving a relocation, home renovation or family change) is assured if you take control.

Recognition from management and/or career advancement is also a possibility, as a sudden shift at work or home puts you in the perfect position. Things could work out to your advantage when you least expect it, and the excess pressure can be used to keep you focused on getting ahead. A stressful work project could make you look good, if you bring your best to it.

Aquarius

The Full Moon in your sector of self-expression can be the result of a long buildup involving friends, groups, your place in the public, or your desire to be accepted for who you are. A decision or point of clarity can be painful, but ultimately freeing, especially if you’re having a final discussion or putting something into writing. What you hear, say or discover can be the last piece of the puzzle that illustrates what’s best for you. New romance, creative work, children/pregnancy or a celebration of who you are may be themes. The mix could be bitter-sweet, but the end result will favour you. 

Revelations can hit suddenly, and freedom (emotional or otherwise) can be yours before you know it. Issues with siblings may be part of the mix. Too, you may be encouraged to reach out, explore, travel or broaden your knowledge, even as social restrictions close another area off. 

Pisces

The Full Moon in your domestic sector makes a work or family issue final. Domestic changes or increased responsibility can feel heavy, and the square to Chiron in your sign can leave you feeling unprepared or hurt. However, know that you’ve got significant resources (financial or emotional) on your side. If you don’t see this, step back from the enforced choice or duty, and consider the direction you’re being pushed towards. There’s something that will allow you to get more, earn more or feel freer to express yourself. Too, increased pressure can enable you to buckle down and make the most of a new approach to security.

Finances can shift unexpectedly, with a surprising opportunity, investment or gift. This could be a result of your hard work, or your hard work may be needed to benefit from it.

Overview

December 6th connects Mars in Aquarius and Uranus Rx in Aries with a harmonious sextile, which is given more power by the planets’ mutual reception (they are in each other’s signs). This mutual understanding between action and liberation creates perfect timing for initiatives, forward movement and change in general. Excitement and energy increase, but it’s all manageable. These developments are a continuation of December 1st’s Mars/Jupiter trine. Something positive is building – all you have to do is act on it. 

Venus enters Aquarius on December 7th, giving money, relationships, self-esteem and values a shot of new possibility. Change is in the air, and it looks good. Venus in this sign encourages individuality around values and relationships. If things haven’t been rosy, this transit can also encourage you to look ahead for something more promising. 

On December 8th, Mercury in Capricorn trines the Virgo North Node (which it rules) and makes a sextile to the Pisces South Node, and a sextile to Neptune (on December 10th). An important piece of information, an observation, message or conversation will be the real deal – it will provide a solid guide/solution that helps you manifest a future potential. Mercury in Capricorn grounds the Pisces longing/wish and translates it into reality (if you’re paying attention). Due to Mercury’s upcoming Rx, this is the first of three activations of the Nodes/Neptune, so you know the message will be significant (and it will be repeated). Check this post for details. 

December 9th brings a sextile between the Sagittarius Sun and Jupiter in Libra, and the Sun conjoins Saturn on December 10th. The Sun is also building to a trine with Uranus in Aries, exact on December 12th. A confirmation, commitment or rule will be illuminated. This is your reality. Get used to it, because it’s the solid foundation that Jupiter/Uranus’ change and growth are based on.

The Sun will also square Chiron in Pisces on December 12th, so there will be some doubts (Chiron) about the future (Uranus). The reality that’s illuminated may be uncomfortable. Nonetheless, positive aspects outweigh the square. There’s still a ton of potential to work with, and if some sore spots are revealed in the process, know that you’ve got the tools to deal with them. 

Mars and the Sun are activating  month-long  configuration between Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. I’ve written about it here.  

Aries

Mars in your social sector, in mutual reception with Uranus in your sign, keeps things active with friends, groups and the public. A public initiative (with you at the helm) can proceed smoothly. Venus into your social sector brings fresh introductions that are platonic or romantic. In general, your connections with others should be vibrant and positive. 

Aspects to Mercury in your career sector help you identify a specific task, solution or routine that’s well-received by authority, or helps you make progress with your career goals. Pay attention to an undeveloped potential –  you can give it form by openly discussing what’s hidden. 

Sun/Saturn in your sector of opportunities spotlights a rule or official transition/graduation. Too, a distant ideal can be crystallized. Aspects from Uranus Rx in your sign, and Jupiter, say that limits in the areas of travel, education, legal matters or publishing can work in your favour – zero in on what’s essential and follow the rules. This will put your drive for freedom/innovation into a workable context that others will assist you with. Change is most effective when it’s focused. Chiron may undermine that focus with background fears/sensitivities – your best bet is to confront, rather than ignore. 

Taurus

Mars/Uranus sees you taking action on a background issue/push for freedom. A shot of inspiration, or an unusual ambition, can benefit your career, job search or professional image. Venus into your career sector builds on this, with fresh contacts and enhanced relationships with management. If you’re looking for work, or looking to get ahead at work, this is your time. 

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of opportunities encourage you to be specific about a big-picture goal, cause or dream. You can go public with something, gain a wider audience for your words, or add important details to your knowledge base. Travel, education, legal matters, publishing or broadcasting are key areas. 

Sun/Saturn in your sector of shared resources focuses you on debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances, or physical/emotional intimacy. Boundaries will be defined, or a specific goal will be hi-lighted. Aspects to Jupiter/Uranus help you work within the limits by encouraging practical improvements and intuitive understanding – the inner workings of a relationship, or solutions to your financial issues, will fall into place once you confront a reality. Chiron can stir up some hurt feelings with friends/groups, or questions about where you belong. 

Gemini

Mars/Uranus continues to encourage exploration or calculated risks. Long-distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing are areas where you can break new ground. Venus into your opportunities sector urges you to keep moving forward as new/intriguing attractions or interests present themselves.

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of shared resources help you identify a key issue involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances, or physical/emotional intimacy. A straightforward conversation about what you share or what you’re uncomfortable with can move you in the right direction. Home finances or the future of your home/family may be topics. 

Sun/Saturn in your relationship sector spotlights a commitment, future goal or relationship turning point.  You and a partner can move forward together if you honour each other’s personal freedom and self-expression. Mutual growth is encouraged. New relationships/attractions can solidify into something with long-term potential. The key will be taking your desire for fun/variety, and making it work in the context of a one-on-one relationship. Chiron may trigger some conflicts about personal versus professional commitments. 

Cancer

Mars/Uranus keeps things rolling along in the areas of debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. A relationship will benefit if you mix things up and break a few rules. Finances can receive a shot of clarity that urges you to take the next step. “Action” is the key word – even if you feel like things are not under your control, it’s up to you to make a move. Venus into your shared resources sector can bring rewards for your actions – an intimate connection can become sweeter, and finances may receive a boost. 

Aspects to Mercury in your partnership sector urge you to talk it out. Keep the discussion going with practical, focused words. This applies even if you’re discussing a dream, belief or issue of faith. It’s time to bring it down to earth and see how it applies to your relationship. 

Sun/Saturn in your sector of routine draws your attention to a work task, obligation or health issue. The pressure may increase, along with your responsibilities. But aspects to Jupiter/Uranus insist that you’ve got this, as you’re fuelled by optimism, faith in the future, or a desire to do things differently. Big-picture changes can be applied successfully, if you apply them in practical, structured ways. Home and work can both benefit from your enhanced discipline and focus on solutions (rather than problems). Chiron can raise some doubts about your goals, your faith or ability to move forward. Doubts are a sign that there’s an important area to be explored further. 

Leo

Mars/Uranus continues the themes of excitement and improvement in your love life. Broaden your concept of what’s possible, or who you’re attracted to. Someone new and unusual could make a move on you. An existing relationship can flourish if you mix it up or travel. As Venus enters your partnership sector, your charm and powers of attraction increase – your ability to connect with others and say/do the right thing will be bang on. 

Despite all the excitement in your love life, aspects to Mercury in your sector of routine keep you grounded with a focus on work, obligations, or medical issues. Watch for a solidification of work routines, and the knowledge of what you need to do. You can also come up with a plan regarding your own security: self-improvement and facts about health/diet/exercise are supported. A key issue may be releasing old habits or openly discussing sensitive/secret issues.

Sun/Saturn in your sector of self-expressionspotlights something you want to create. Performance, public recognition, artistic work or children/pregnancy are areas where a limit or rule will be confronted. Aspects to Jupiter/Uranus help you bring it to fruition as you incorporate expansive ideas, contacts with the public or big ideals. This is your chance to manifest something that only seemed like an intriguing possibility. A new attraction could solidify into mutual commitment. Chiron can expose some sensitive financial or intimacy issues – maybe the time has come to deal with what you’ve been avoiding. 

Virgo

Mars/Uranus sees you making the best moves regarding work, routine or health. Even if there are excess obligations, you’ve got the energy to handle them. You can easily get it done and impress others with your innovation. Venus’ entrance into your sector of routine brings even more good news, with improved co-worker relationships orunexpected but pleasant outcomes to a work or health issue. 

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of self-expression, including the trine to the North Node in your sign, lines you up perfectly. You can put your best foot forward, impress others, find an audience for your words or simply feel good about how far you’ve come. A new or existing relationship can also progress nicely. The key will be focusing on what you know is essential to your progress and self-improvement, while cutting out the rest. This includes looking at the best possible outcome, rather than “what if” anxieties (you move towards what you’re focused on). Watch for increased discipline on a writing project. 

Sun/Saturn in your domestic sector can emphasize a family responsibility, issue with parents or future domestic goal. Aspects to Jupiter/Uranus can help you make the most of financial and emotional resources, in order to expand the quality of life you’re hoping for. Home finances, home improvements, spending and budgeting all look good, as long as you work within boundaries that you’re well aware of. Chiron suggests relationship anxieties or fear of loss/rejection may peak. Too, a partner may require extra care. This is all part of your domestic responsibilities.

Libra

Mars/Uranus keeps you in the sweet spot, with increased motivation, confidence and courage. New romance, creative work, celebrations and socializing are all supported, with special emphasis on a particular relationship. As Venus enters your sector of self-expression, your attraction power will increase. Others will notice, and you may have more attention than you know what to do with. 

Despite all the socializing, aspects to Mercury in your domestic sector keep your eye on something closer to home. Home/family issues may unfold with structured conversations, documents or prioritizing. The more you concentrate on a particular issues, the more you’ll find that an intuitive understanding unfolds. There’s something in the background that needs to be accessed, and this will involve understanding how your surface routines/obligations are shifting (or ending). Look beyond the obvious. 

Sun/Saturn in your communication sector draws your attention to a verbal or written commitment. A personal or official answer will be highly defined, but aspects to Jupiter (in your sign) and Uranus say there’s plenty of room for growth within those boundaries. Possibilities include the solidification of a partnership, or your commitment to a project/lifestyle. Chiron can stir up some difficulties with health or work, so put some extra time aside to focus on solutions. 

Scorpio

Mars/Uranus can keep the changes at home/with family rolling forward, and things may be a bit hectic. Fortunately, you’ve got motivation, and your eyes are on the future. Things are moving in the right direction, and as Venus enters your domestic sector, watch for increased socialization/entertaining at home. Too, home improvements or relocations look promising. 

Aspects to Mercury in your communication sector position you to say it perfectly. If there’s a message you have to deliver, networking to be done, or an audience to reach, this is the time. Too, you can see progress with issues involving performance, children/pregnancy or writing. 

Sun/Saturn in your sector of personal resources defines exactly what you want, and what you have. A financial situation/salary agreement can be clarified. Personal requirements can be defined as well, as you underline your boundaries. Aspects to Jupiter and Uranus suggest that the current rules around money or personal values can be built on, for the future. This is your foundation. This could also be the first step in manifesting your dream for a new business/project. Chiron suggests some difficulties around creating everything you want, and you may have to give something up. 

Sagittarius

Mars/Uranus keeps your communication and socialization skills on the cutting edge. Something/someone that you’re passionate about has grabbed your attention, and you can speak up (or get their attention) rather easily. As Venus enters your communication sector, all social contacts should become friendlier, and maybe a bit flirtatious. Along with this vibe, watch for some delightfully unexpected responses, or some creative innovations on your part. 

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of personal resources clue you into a possible source of income, job opportunity or way to boost your professional image/business. There could be an important contact, conversation or message that supports your future goals. 

Sun/Saturn in your sign can be a defining moment. You may reach a point of no return, or decide where you’re going to forces your energy from now on. Aspects from Jupiter/Uranus insist that increased responsibility/discipline look good on you. The more you you apply dedication, maturity and commitment to this new area of your life, the more your creative and personal growth will be enhanced. Chiron will remind you that family/domestic issues can still stir up old wounds – remember that you’re in a new chapter, as you tackle these issues with enhanced maturity.

Capricorn

Mars/Uranus continues the flow of positive change and growth in the areas of finance, security and self-esteem. Home improvements/relocation may be featured. There’s a desire to get more for yourself, and spend more, but as Venus enters your sector of personal resources, you could receive a reward or encouraging boost. Watch for a financial bonus, or reasons to feel good about what’s happening in your life. Actions you’ve been taking to improve things will be key. 

Aspects to Mercury in your sign suggest that you know exactly what your next step is, or what you need to say. If you don’t, trust the the feeling that’s urging you to look ahead, go public or aim higher. Long distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing are favoured, as is broadcasting your words to an audience. This could also be about an idea whose time has come.

Sun/Saturn in your hidden sector mark another finish line in a series of endings. This is   part of a larger move away from the past. A completion/finalization may only be ticked off in your head, or in the background, but aspects to Jupiter/Uranus insist that you can build your future on this. Domestic and career changes are supported, and actually won’t happen until you shut the door on something. Chiron can trigger some uncomfortable conversations or hurt feelings, as you close that door.

Saturn is part of the preparation for increased responsibilities and authority that are coming your way when Saturn enters your sign, in December 2017. It may seem like the distant future, but one year can pass quickly. Prepare now. 

Aquarius

Mars in your sign, sextile Uranus in your communication sector, continues the current ofexciting news/ideas, fresh contacts, ambition and overall zest for life. You sense that things are (finally) moving in a favourable direction, and they are – because you’re driving the change. As Venus enters your sign, enjoy her gifts of happiness, attraction, joyful social moments and an overall boost in your confidence. You’ve earned it. 

Aspects to Mercury in your hidden sector keep the intuition and background planning going, as you tune into ways that you can invest wisely (financially or emotionally). Getting closer to someone, or deciding to commit fully to a plan/opportunity, is a slow process, and much is happening in secret. Don’t push it – things will unfold slowly, in perfect time. 

Sun/Saturn in your social sector clarifies a friendship, group association or public cause. A confirmation or public commitment may be in the works, and aspects to Jupiter/Uranus say this is in full support of your larger goals: travel, exploration, relocation or putting more energy towards something you believe in. There may be someone (a friend/mentor) you can count on, or a long-standing personal goal may be finally become official. Chiron stirs up fears about not having enough, or making yourself vulnerable. Don’t let these fears shut you down, but do keep an eye on your finances and personal boundaries.  

Pisces

Mars/Uranus keeps the background fires burning, with a private passion, anger or ambition. As Venus enters your sector of secrets, you may get closer to someone, or feel the need to pull back so you can concentrate on your background issue. Whether it’s just you, or you and someone else, the energy will be secluded. 

Aspects to Mercury in your social sector suggest input from friends, groups or the public can help you develop a partnership, or your approach to partnerships. External information, or your efforts to network/communicate, will encourage discrimination and focus, while helping you develop your natural gifts to their full potential. A business partnership or networking event can be fruitful. 

Sun/Saturn in your career sector spotlights a job, increase in your authority, or issue with management. Aspects to Jupiter/Uranus suggest there could be a promotion, boost to your business or favourable financial outcome to a career path. How you’ve been handling Saturn’s demands for authority will be important. The more effort you’ve put into your career, the more rewards you’ll receive. The Sun’s impending square to Chiron in your sign can make you question the validity of what’s happening. Do you have what it takes? Can you handle the pressure/limits? Of course you can.
