Tighten Up. Here We Go!

 

 

As I said a few weeks ago, January is slammed by many inner and outer planetary aspects.   I do not recall ever seeing this many in one month.   As of today, we are one third through the month and have cleared ten aspects since January 1.  Now we are about to slog through even more aspects and it spikes up a lot between January 17 – 20.   We may be in our own Hadron Collider.  To be clear this is a mix of lovely and not lovely aspects.  My concern is I am not sure humans are comfortable with our universe going 99.999 the speed of light.   

More to be revealed but go ahead and strap in.  

1/14 – Mercury oppose Jupiter

This is an annular aspect where our thinking and communication is pumped up.  This is fine but be prepared to be called out for any hypocrisy if your life does not ‘walk the talk’.  Big emphasis on world versus family.  

1/14 – Venus sextile Saturn (23° Pisces)
Love shows up through action. Practical devotion. Creativity becomes grounded. Support may come from leaders, elders, or steady, reliable people.

1/15 – Venus trine Uranus (24° Taurus)
Novelty matters. New structures around money, relationships, and creativity want room to emerge. How are you changing your approach?

1/17 — Is A Major Day

Venus sextile Neptune (26° Pisces)
A wash of gentleness. Hearts soften. Release arrives. The woo-woo is strong — and genuinely healing.

Sun sextile Saturn (26° Pisces)
Creativity meets responsibility. Leaders, businesses, or systems offer support. Practicality becomes the fuel for joy.

Sun trine Uranus (27° Taurus)
A practical breakthrough. Structural improvements. Movement that is innovative without being careless. Things that were stuck finally have flow.

1/18 Mercury conjunct Mars (28° Capricorn)
Sharp, penetrating thoughts that translate into real movement and action. Conversations carry weight — responsibility in speech is paramount.

1/18 Mercury sextile Saturn (27 PISCES) 

Our sharp thoughts support creativity and humanitarian efforts.  Spirituality is pragmatic.  Words that help elevate causes is supported.  

1/18 Mercury trine Uranus (27 TAURUS)

Thinking that is dynamic can renovate that which is broken and stubborn.   Practicality from the ground up that is also novel is supported.  

1/19 Sun sextile Neptune (29 PISCES) 

Finding fun in spirituality and humanitarian is uplifting.  Faith, woo woo and joy can come together and bring new opportunities. 

1/19 Venus conjunction Pluto (3 AQUARIUS)

Love that is penetrating has our attention.  Anything less than that is less than.   Clearing out debris around joy is vital.  Group efforts are important.   Bring your creativity. 

1/19 Saturn sextile Uranus (27 TAURUS)

An opportunity to build structures and scaffolding for breakthroughs (which might look like breakdowns).  This is third time these two came together since round one last year (April 20) and the second one (August 11).   Saturn rules timing and Uranus is quick with out-of-the-blue moves.   Things can go from zero to 100 in a half a nanosecond.

1/19 Mars trine Uranus (27 TAURUS)

Let’s take the creative good when we can get it and this is the last time Mars will trine Uranus in Taurus unless you are super young and can hang in there for 80 more years.   Mars in Capricorn is all about meaningful productivity.  Uranus in Taurus is about practical innovation and pragmatic brilliance.    Let’s see what we can do to harness this energy.  

1/19 Mars sextile Saturn (27 PISCES)

There are opportunities when you bring a hammer and nail to your faith, spirituality, woo-woo and dreams.   That which has felt unworldly might be more in focus so a little work can be done.   

1/20 Mercury sextile Neptune (29 PI)

Practical thinking meets dreams, fuzzy, illusion, spirituality.  Great day to find a path through any systems that have felt elusive.  Thinking about humanity through a pragmatic lens. 

1/26 – Neptune enter Aries where it will stay until 2038 

1/21 Mercury conjunction Sun (1 AQUARIUS) 

Innovation with crowds, groups & friendships.   Conversations that elevate a whole sector versus one ego.   Inspired thinking could emerge. 

1/22 Mercury conjunction Pluto (3 AQUARIUS)

Deep thinking and conversations that may have originally been triggered by something related to values on 1/19 (Venus/Pluto).  Now the talk and mental connections are as deep and figuring a way out. 

1/22 Mars sextile Neptune (29 PISCES)

It is the last aspect of the final degree of Pisces before Neptune moves into Aries.   Mars brings action.  Mars in Capricorn is pragmatic and productive.   Sextile brings opportunities.  Neptune is our spiritual. Our woo-woo.  Our arts and our humanitarian.  What comes up now could be the exact inspirational work that will be useful when Neptune moves into fiery Aries.    Inspiration before Independence.  

 

1/23 Sun conjunction Pluto (3 AQUARIUS)

Let’s go back to January 21, 2024--- On this date was the final conjunction of Sun/Pluto at 29Cap59.    On January 21, 2025 was the first conjunction of Sun/Pluto at 1 degree of Aquarius.  That was the first full day of a new administration in USA.   This second conjunction by Sun/Pluto at 3 AQ will no doubt have some call back to last year.   Aquarius is about people. The Sun is about identity.  Pluto will find the weakest link.   Be prepared for weak links to be felt and possibly have light shined on them.  

1/27: Mars conjunction Pluto (3 AQUARIUS)

This aspect is not by itself.  It is close to the Sun aspect four days ago.  They also ormed a conjunction in Aquarius Feb of 2024.  Now Pluto is deeper into Aquarius.  It is sizing up the joint.  Mars lives to be in battle.  It’s answer is to fight.   Pluto  is more the assassin than the brawler.   Any war front will be stimulated with actions that are or are not helpful.   Pluto in Aquarius speaks to masses of people perhaps hearing a call to action?   

1/29 Mercury conjunction Venus (14 AQUARIUS)

The mind and the mouth come together for love of humanity and breakthroughs.
