Astrology for Week of January 15 - 21.

 

We are in the final quarter of the Capricorn New moon.   We take a moment and consider what has transpired since December 23 when the Capricorn New Moon launched.    Anything that started on the new moon that may need a nudge, now would be the time to act.    The emphasis on this last quarter moon is our relationships and partnerships.   We consider how our partners support our goals or not?   How are we supporting our partners goal or not?    There may be things for us to process.   

 

Of course, there is a retrograde Mercury in the mix.   Confusion, dropped connections,  miscommunication,  general mix ups all the hallmarks of Mercury retrograde will continue until we get to the 18^th, then Mercury stations direct.   Yay.  

 

Also on the 18^th  the Sun is in conjunction with Pluto, which happens once a year.   The day can feel intense, perhaps heavy.  However, given Mercury is stationing direct and we move into the Balsamic phase, there is opportunity to release and let go of any deep emotions.

Last Quarter Moon Phase

January 14, 2023

6:10pm

   

 

 

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:

How are you acting on your relationships?  How are you acting on partnerships?  How are you acting on finding balance?  How are you acting on fairness?   What does all of this say or impact the goals you planted on new moon?  

 

 

Special focus 

1/18:  Mercury station direct (8 Capricorn 8) see above 

1/18: Sun conjunction Pluto (28 Cap 13) . Once a year aspect where we go deep into our place in the world.  What are the values we have deep down inside us that need to come up?  How can we tap it?  

 

 

Balsamic Moon Phase

7:55am PST 

Focus on:  How are you releasing expansion?  How are you releasing boldness?  How are you releasing bigness?   How are you releasing things that are ‘foreign’?  How are you releasing big opinions?  How does all of this support the goals we launched on new moon?  

 

 

Special focus:
