This week January 17th - January 22

This Astrological Week

We start this week in First Quarter Moon.     First of all let’s remember, Capricorn New Moon started  8 days ago.  If you are confused what this cycle is about go back HERE.    If you need a reminder…here is your mission.  Get up high, get to a new vantage point.  If you are feeling low and down about life;  money, love …the clothes in your closet.  It doesn’t matter what ever it is…  get up higher.  Cool your emotions.   Get practical.  Get real.  Get super sensible but do not lose heart.    

The first quarter moon is pushing on us to find our independence.   To carve our own place.  How does that support our greater goals?   Has it been a missing piece?

In the middle of the week we move into Gibbous phase.  We start to sift through information.   In particular information we may have missed.   And let me remind you, we are still in Mercury retrograde so missing information is very possible.      And thinking, how should that be re-purposed?   Mercury gets in a tussle with Uranus and Pluto between January 20 and 22 so do NOT be surprised if there are words and sparks and annoyance and short fuses and desire to say, “WTF I’m outta here”   Maybe it is important.   Maybe it is not.  You will have to weigh it out.  

First Quarter Moon

Focus on:  What actions can you take that propel your independence?  How can you cut your own path against ‘traditional roads’?   What is sparking you to move ahead?  Where is your fiery nature taking you?  Why do you resistant any of the above?   Is that resistance serving you?  Really?

Special focus

1/17: Venus semisq Mars.  Actions and love rub each other wrong.   Creative can not be pushed.  Neither can love.  Get out of the way. 

1/17: Venus Square Jupiter.   Righteous, opinions, brash, brazen completely conflict with love, money, creativity and value.    Exactly why are we on a soap box?

1/18: Mars trine Neptune:  Spirit and faith support actions and movements.   Clear out debris because Spirit tells us to do it.

1/18: Mars semiSq Jupiter.  Watch those opinions!  They are focused on the tiny miniscule and are missing the big stuff.  

1/18:  Sun semiSq Saturn.   Everyone is a cold ass boss and even when everyone is their own employee.  

Gibbous Moon

January 20, 2016 

2:51 am EST

Gibbous:

We refine our information.  We pick and choose, we discriminate, and we organize to be ‘Virgo’ like.  We sort through details.  Have we missed something?  How are we sifting through the information?  Go back and make sure something hasn’t been neglected.  Refine our actions. 

Focus on:

What have you missed about your siblings? What have you missed about your communication style? What have you missed about the way you make connections?  Not just the ones out in the world but the ones in your brain?  What is going on with the words you choose?

Special Focus:

1/20:  Sun enters Aquarius

1/20: Mercury Sq Uranus.  Radical thoughts want to undermine the status quo.  “I’ll show them”  can be fun….or a complete waste of time and focus.  Your choice.

1/22: Mercury conj. Pluto.  Focused thinking and communication.   Laser thoughts.  Penetrating ideas.   Solutions that promote evolution are thought up.

1/23: Venus enters Capricorn
