The Week Ahead---Yes...we all have to have this week. No hiding....

We start off the week early Monday morning with a switch into Disseminating phase. This is when we share information and others share with us.  

Our little Aquarius friends launched into their Birthday Season on Sunday 19^th.     And yes the Sun may have moved into Aquarius but we are still processing Capricorn lunar phase. 

As you all know my focus is the eight lunar phases and the transiting aspects of the planets, and I don’t spend much time on the daily movements of the moon.  There are many astrologers out there who only focus on daily lunar aspects and they do a much better job than me.   I find my brain goes into overwhelm when I track the moon every hour.   But having said that, I would be remiss especially during this Capricorn phase by not mentioning Tuesday and all day Wednesday we will be dealing with a lot of Lunar Tension.    Christ, yes. 

Once The Moon moves into Libra we should start to feel the tension build. Here are the times it hits the grand cross planets.    

Tuesday

Moon enters Libra  4:43am (Pacific)   ---7:43am ( Eastern) 

Moon oppose Uranus  10:22pm Pacific   1:22am Wednesday (Eastern)

Wednesday 

Moon Square Pluto  3:53am (Pacific) – 6:53 am (Eastern)

Moon Square Jupiter 6:20am (Pacific) – 9:20am (Eastern)

Moon Square Venus 10:06am (Pacific) – 1:06pm (Eastern)

Moon trine Mercury 4:00pm (Pacific) – 7:00pm (Eastern)

Moon conjunct Mars 7:50pm (Pacific) – 10:50pm (Eastern)               

What a skanky period.   I expect some kind of news event that is lame. Something will feel very unfair (tweaked Libra).   Or someone will give a superficial response that will rub everyone wrong.   We love things that are pretty and in pink but we pay a price when we hang on to the superficial instead of doing real work.    Real solutions are more appealing than useless beauty.   

Emotions will be strained.  Tempers will be short.  People will take deep breaths so deep they turn blue.  Or they take no breath and cut someone down right to the callouses on their feet.   Of course some people will be energized and will get shit done.  Great!  Go for it.  But make sure you are not reckless as you take care of business.  Remember the last rough aspect of Moon before it goes into Scorpio is a bitch slap with Mars.   Ouch, Luna, you will lose.   Luckily there is one nice aspect between the Moon and Mercury that is appealing.  Somewhere in the mess our brains will be sharp. 

 Carry on….

Disseminating Moon Phase

Focus on: How are you sharing your discipline?  How are you sharing with others your best habits?  Are others sharing with you their best practices?  Even if they don’t say it, are you observing habits in others that speak to you?      

Special focus:

1/20: Mercury/Mars:  Brain is in sync with actions.  Actions are inspired and activate the brain. 

Last Quarter Moon Phase

January 24

12:18am EST

Last Quarter moon:  Now we do the final adjustments to the seeds we planted on new. The final call, the final letters to send, we follow all the trails that came up that still make sense.  And we let the other parts lay fallow. It is a time of action but wise action.  It is a time for living  “The serenity prayer”

God, grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change Courage to change the
things I can, and the
Wisdom to know the difference.

Focus on:

What actions can you take that are ‘black or white’?  What actions can you take to cut out the dead?  When you think about your place in the world and where you belong, what is holding you back?  What can you cut?   Where do you need death and rebirth?

Special focus:

1/24: Mercury /Mars :  Precise thoughts, words, exact sharpness helps.

1/25: Mercury/Saturn: Our thoughts are cold unless they are about money. Then we feel like we don’t have enough.  Get real about dough and you’ll be okay.
