Sun from Sagittarius to Capricorn
We are starting out the new year with the planet of our integrity, power, and ambition pairs with Sagittarius beliefs, teachings, and higher learning. Knowledge is power, and the Sun, under Jupiter’s rule, focuses on ensuring we have inspirational convictions rather than opinionated judgments. Sun moves into Capricorn mid-month giving focus to our ambitions and responsibility of our actions.
Mars in Retrograde and Debilitated in Cancer
Our strength and courage weaken in the fluctuating waters of Cancer. Ruled by the Moon, Mars fights through a layer of emotion and past experiences. At the same time, Pluto’s opposition in Capricorn continues to overturn our ambitions and the systems that are in power.
Mercury in Scorpio
Our communications are being transformed at this time. The messages we are trying to convey can come from a secret, hidden source. Ideas and thought patterns may cling to our emotional selves. A transformation in how we communicate our boundaries to others is activated.
Venus in Aquarius
The planet of happiness has joined Aquarius' collective consciousness to learn how to compromise on a grand scale. Our values around community and appreciation for beautiful things are commonly shared desires. At the same time, Saturn's influence is heavy and sad, somewhat neutralizing the experience.
Saturn in Aquarius
The planet of karma and responsibility strengthens in Aquarius while staying focused on righting the wrongs within the construct of societal expectations. Aquarius is associated with the 11th house of gains and achievements. With hard work and due diligence, Saturn rewards an honest pursuit. Our truthful identity is under pressure to perform. A false identity will dissipate into the cold, thin air of Aquarius.
Rahu in Pisces/ Ketu in Virgo
This nodal axis of the Moon is in the final months of its transit on the 6/12 line. Over the past year, we have learned to pick our battles and let go of the rest. Our ability to look inward determines the tension between how much we struggle toward perfection and how much we surrender to uncertainty.
Full Moon in Gemini
This Full Moon occurs at 29 degrees and 47 minutes of Gemini. Such close proximity to the cusp of Gemini and Cancer, generates a bit of an unstable energy as far as how well the Moon and Sun are able to produce as karakas, or significators. Moon is our emotional mind and Sun is our Soul. When these two are opposed in the sky, we are in full-on introspection mode. This is time to reflect on the area of life where Sun is from the perspective of where Moon is placed.
