This Week In Astrology

We are in the final ten days of the Sag lunar cycle.  There is still fire in the air.  Where are you go-go-going?   Where are you feeling enthusiastic?  Are you getting in tangle ups?  Maybe a little mouthy? S. L. O. W. down if you can. 

We begin the week in last quarter phase of the moon, which puts the emphasis on relationships.   How are you partnering with others?  Is it in sync with the world?  Are you fighting the world together?  Are you inspired together? 

Venus and Pluto get into on the 9^th and then on the 13^th there is a round of Venus with Uranus.  This cycle happens once a year when Venus in Capricorn is prompted by Pluto to ask how is our self worth?  Are our values high enough?  Or are we rooted in low self-esteem but cover with pretense and snobbery?   Then a few days later the universe pushes and those things rooted in something other than self esteem may experiences something sharp or be jettisoned.   

On the 12^th we move into balsamic phase where we release our ‘stuck-ness and rigidity” as we prepare for Capricorn new moon on the 16^th. 

Last Quarter Moon Phase

5:25pm  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 are you taking that speak to your relationships?  What actions are you taking that support balance?  What actions are you taking that speak to ‘sharing’?  What actions are you taking that feel tit-for-tat?

Special focus:

1/8: Sun conjunct Venus.   Love & money & values get showcased.

1/9: Venus conjunct Pluto.  Love of power.  Power of love.

1/10: Mercury enters Capricorn.  Light thoughts go to serious.  Practical thinking replaces too much enthusiastic thinking.

Balsamic:   We let go.  By releasing we can prepare for the new. 

Focus on  How are we releasing  our black and white?  How are we releasing our morose nature?  How are we releasing our controlling nature? 

Special Focus:

1/12 Mercury conjunct Saturn.  Very dark thinking.  Very practical thinking.   Depressed thoughts our super business thinking. 

1/13 Venus square Uranus.  Love & Money & values get put on their side.  Not taking the usual approach to any of it.
