Moon in Gemini.
January 11: Full Moon fever is on the rise. Folks feel frisky and hyper alert. As the weekend begins the waxing Gemini Moon is three days away from her full stage. Runaway emotions are a potential hazard prior to each Full Moon. The stepped up pace and emotional volatility often hinder logical thinking. Traveling the proverbial middle road, neither too high or too low, is the safest path. Given that today’s only exact alignment is the Moon’s evening square to nebulous Neptune, consistent attentiveness and caution are recommended. Escapism can be tempting and in fact, the square lends itself to enjoying many forms of art and entertainment. It is the bad habits of overdoing it with drink, food or recreational drugs that are best avoided. Keep a watchful eye on the sky for inclement weather, too.

January 14: After almost every Full Moon there is an emotional or physical letdown. The day after often feels calming, like a long, slow, deliberate exhale. This time two factors combine to keep spirits animated. The Moon is now in Leo, a flamboyant and fun-loving sign noted for its zest for life. The second is an energizing square between Venus and Jupiter. The discordant angle can bring distractions, making it difficult to stay on track with personal responsibilities. It can also make it hard to say “no.” Be aware of time and spending. Honor previous commitments. Make sure you take care of business and other obligations before going on a spending spree or other adventure. Moods are more relaxed and hopeful later tonight.

Advice from a friend or associate could broaden views and increase options. Late tonight the Moon is at odds with Uranus. Take a defensive position as desires are again likely to be thwarted.
Moon in Leo v/c 11:10PM-12:00AM, Sun opposite Mars.
January 16: Mixed trends continue to make life challenging. The Leo Moon is void of course until late morning. Focus on work in progress and hold off on new commitments. Enthusiasm may be noticeably lacking until the Moon enters Virgo minutes before noon. The second half of the day sees numerous changes of attitudes. Schedules are also likely to be revised. Nonetheless, the afternoon hours are productive. As the Sun moves into an agreeable sextile to Neptune, imaginations soar. An ingenious idea could take root. For less creative spirits, simple pleasures provide much contentment. A cozy bed and sweet dreams are in store late tonight.
Moon in Leo v/c 12:00AM-11:46AM Moon enters Virgo.
January 17: Last night’s dreams linger on. Some influence early morning reveries. The veils between worlds remain thin until dawn. Make note of any sacred messages that may are received. Visions soon fade. The pace of the day becomes quite busy as the waning Virgo Moon is square Jupiter by midmorning. Pay attention to the clock, as well as the number of commitments on the table. Mental and physical skills are ably demonstrated during the midday period. A fortunate lunar trine with Mercury helps everyone balance myriad tasks. This is a fertile time for meetings and one on one talks. By late afternoon juggling chores feels strenuous. After a week of ups and downs some souls feel flat out weary. Tonight is a good one for personal TLC.
Moon in Virgo, Sun sextile Neptune.
January 18: The weekend is off to a fast, smooth start. The Virgo Moon is in a fine trine to forward thinking Uranus. Psychic antennae are in receiving mode. Welcome a premonition.

This is an equally good time to get to a task you have been putting off. Important reunions could be in the planning stages or on today’s calendar. Venus is conjunct Saturn tonight. Some meetings feel fateful. A new friend may seem to be strangely familiar. Other, long time partnerships can struggle.

The late morning Mercury/Venus sextile is an omen of enjoyable conversations and social meetups. Sunday brunches are tasty affairs. Today also marks the end of Capricorn season. The Sun enters egalitarian Aquarius during the mid-afternoon, underscoring the connections between all humankind. The waning Libra Moon also increases sensitivity to others. Her trine to Jupiter tonight contributes to a hopeful, festive atmosphere. Travel, learning, story-telling and fun are encouraged.

January 20: The Sun, newly arrived in Aquarius, is nearing an annual conjunction with Pluto. Use your personal power with integrity. Expect partners to do likewise. Respect for others, even those you disagree with, is paramount. However, there is no reason to condone wrongdoing, hypocrisy or other misdeeds. These faults are often spotlighted under Pluto’s penetrating gaze. Call it as you see it. The Libra Moon endorses peaceful relations but testing angles with Mercury and Mars suggest today’s talks and negotiations will require consummate skill. The later the hour gets, the less likely it is that an agreement will be reached.
Moon in Libra v/c 11:34PM-12:00AM.
January 21: A waning, void of course Scorpio Moon holds sway until late morning. During this introspective and less constant period the Sun is conjunct Pluto. The powerful alignment can coincide with moments of discovery, insights into one’s self, partners or the larger world. What to do and say about these discoveries is the afternoon challenge. The Last Quarter Moon is at odds with the Sun/Scorpio tandem. Stating the obvious or overreacting can be threatening to some folks. Avoid using an overly insistent or accusatory tone. Constructive engagement is always the best way to go. A genuine desire to improve working relationships can lead to a mutual understanding. Emphasize the benefits of teamwork and gain win-win results.
Moon in Libra v/c 12:00AM-11:20AM Moon enters Scorpio, Last Quarter Moon in Scorpio 3:31PM, Sun conjunct Pluto.
January 22: Conscientious work and ongoing obligations are today’s priorities. The only exact aspect is tonight when the emotionally intelligent Scorpio Moon forms a stabilizing trine to dutiful Saturn. Excuses and complaints take a back seat to steady progress. If you have doubts, emulate more proficient or experienced colleagues. A potent combination of celestial factors encourages dogged determination. Stick with practical, proven values as well as common sense throughout the day. Goals and methods may be debated. An imminent sextile between Mars and Uranus encourages bold, brilliant, and groundbreaking new moves. However, because the fiery Red Planet is retrograde, it is wise to rein in aggressive tendencies. Work in tandem with friends and colleagues or face considerable resistance to your efforts.
Moon in Scorpio.
January 23: Powerful alignments make this an energetic, entertaining and productive day. At the start intentions are clear, enhanced by a lunar sextile to Mercury. Mars’ late morning sextile to Uranus supports teamwork, networking and vibrant planning sessions. A water sign Grand Trine is working its magic. Dreams seem to be in reach but nonetheless complications can arise. The midday hours are challenging. Plans may change. Mercury’s afternoon opposition with Mars could generate a misunderstanding. Do not give up. Keep talking and doing. A late afternoon trine between Mercury and Uranus suggests that differences will be resolved. Harmonious trends dominate the early evening and a mellow, void of course Scorpio Moon is in place tonight. Relax and enjoy a well deserved respite.

January 24: The waning Moon is in sunny Sagittarius. The Moon’s late morning sextile to the Aquarius Sun helps keep spirits up. It also directs attention to upcoming events. This is a better than average day for social as well as business calls. Restless spirits could be busy making travel plans. Philosophical and political concerns are likely topics of discussion. Humanitarian and progressive causes are promoted. Opinions become more passionate tonight as the Moon moves into opposition with outspoken Jupiter. Have your say but no matter how loudly or how many times a point is made, skeptics will probably remain unmoved. Agree or not, being an attentive and respectful listener is recommended.

January 25: Some souls begin the day reluctantly. Others gamely face the weekend chores and other commitments.

January 26: The early hours of the morning drift lazily by under the void of course Sagittarius Moon. By midmorning the Moon is in Capricorn, a practical, action oriented cardinal sign. Perfectionistic leanings compete with a more easy-going approach much of the day. A call from a long lost pal or next door neighbor is likely to be followed by visitors. Mental Mercury is nicely aligned with mystical Neptune this afternoon. Minds are impressionable, sympathetic and receptive. Be a channel for and share your creative ideas. Spiritual knowledge can come from an array of sources. Movies, artistic performances and the natural world are captivating. Kindness enchants. Venus is also in an evening sextile with rule-breaker Uranus, expanding the possibilities when it comes to love, affection and other pleasures. Eat dessert first if you have the urge.

Give thanks to those who have assisted you on your journey. Business meetings and intelligent decisions are also favored by the complimentary Moon/Saturn energies. Late tonight Mercury enters Aquarius and thoughts turn to future concerns. A lunar opposition to Mars cautions against pushing ahead without planning first.
Moon in Capricorn, Mercury enters Aquarius.
January 28: For insomniacs the overnight hours provide a series of inspiring new ideas. Innate intuition works well. Trust in hunches. Even far out notions have an excellent chance of being accurate. This is the last day of the lunar cycle, not a good time to launch new projects but better suited for completing them. However, the astrological omens ably support promotional campaigns. The Aquarius Moon is conjunct Mercury and Pluto. The powers of persuasion are enhanced. However, avoid coming on too strong. Enthusiasm is always a strong selling point but be sure to moderate personal views according to your audience. Notice how your words are being received. Adjust your tone and message accordingly. Focus attention on the betterment of all for maximum effect.
Moon in Capricorn v/c 10:48AM-2:31PM Moon enters Aquarius.
January 29: This morning’s New Moon in Aquarius is part of a larger grouping in Aquarius, the futuristic sign of friendship and the public good.

In addition to promoting the welfare of all this New Moon speaks to humankind’s search for knowledge and self-determination. A Pisces stellium composed of Venus, Saturn, Neptune and the lunar North Node is also in play. Spiritual awareness and the interconnectedness of everyone and everything are heightened. Some souls discover their true calling. Artistic types and humanitarians are encouraged to pursue their dreams. The coming weeks promise to be rich with amazing moments.
New Moon in Aquarius 7:36AM, Mercury conjunction Pluto.
January 30: Coming on the heels of yesterday’s stirring New Moon, today is pleasantly subdued but lacking in direction. Luna travels void of course for most of the day. An early morning square to Uranus complicates the commute. Drive carefully and be ready to take a detour. From then until evening the Moon is disengaged, making concentration more of a challenge. Iconoclastic Uranus’ return to forward motion can increase uncertainties as well as out of the blue surprises. Expect an unexpected change of plans. Fortunately, the Aquarius Sun is trine Jupiter late in the day. A spirit of adventure compliments a relaxed sense of ease and expanded comfort zone. It is best to avoid making new commitments until the Moon enters Pisces this evening.
Moon in Aquarius v/c 6:29AM-5:52PM Moon enters Pisces, Sun trine Jupiter, Uranus Direct.
January 31: The waxing crescent Moon charts a varied course today. Morning appetites and expectations tend to be extravagant. A lunar square to expansive Jupiter influences folks who are easily impressed or gullible. If you are willing to buy, know the price. Attention to details and healthy skepticism are helpful. By late afternoon tastes moderate. The Moon is nearing her late night rendezvous with cautious Saturn. What previously was irresistible or unattainable can become unwanted or clearly not worth the cost. Bodies may feel spent and in need of a good night’s sleep. Priorities may also change sharply. A family member or other essential persons could be in need of support. Stand by those you love and respect.
