Astrology Forecast for Jan 11 - 17

ASTRO WEATHER JAN 11 - 17; ALL DATES PST

MONDAY JAN 11

• Mercury/Jupiter conjunction 5° Aquarius
• Mercury in Aquarius sextile Chiron in Aries @ 5°
• Jupiter in Aquarius sextile Chiron in Aries @ 5°

Mercury & Jupiter's meeting opens your mind to higher wisdom. Each planet makes a nurturing sextile to Chiron, who holds the key to healing & integration in Aries. The waning Moon in Capricorn supports (trine Mars and Uranus in Taurus) and challenges (square Chiron) the process. The Venus/Moon conjunction can be the salve that bonds or binds - it all depends on your willingness to walk away toxic beliefs that no longer serve your growth.

TUESDAY JAN 12

• New Moon @ 23° Capricorn (11:22 pm PST)
• Mercury in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus @ 6°
• Venus in Chiron square Chiron in Aries @ 5°

The Capricorn New Moon is only 3° away from the world changing Saturn/Pluto conjunction that happened one year ago today. Before the luminaries embrace, a Mercury/Uranus square provides a mental breakthrough and the impulse to move beyond what was previously understood. A Venus/Chiron square invites you to ground your foundation in self/love. The Moon's sextile to Neptune in Pisces softens the landscape like a much needed rain on the parched earth. 

WEDNESDAY JAN 13

• Mercury in Aquarius sextile Juno in Sagittarius @ 8°
• Mars in Taurus square Saturn in Aquarius @ 3°
• Venus in Capricorn trine Uranus (rx) in Taurus @ 6°

It's the final round of the Mars/Saturn square, bringing a stubborn resistance to the the table today. The tension began on 8/24/20 when Mars was in Aries and Saturn in Capricorn. The plot thickened on 9/29/20, when Mars was retrograde. Now the planets are in fixed signs that, well, need fixin, both in the collective and in your own natal chart. Mercury and Juno stir up new conversations around freedom, while Venus and Uranus help us anchor into the support of loved ones and the community at large. 

THURSDAY JAN 14

• Uranus stations direct @ 6° Taurus 
• Sun/Pluto conjunction @ 24° Capricorn

Upstart Uranus turns direct, which means all major planets are moving forward through Jan 30th. Remember - stationary planets are at a stand still. More than moving the needle, Uranus' direct station helps you to anchor in the present so you can face the future with more strength. Today's annual Sun/Pluto conjunction is a metamorphosis of the soul, shining light in the regenerating darkness of Capricorn, allowing you to see the treasures within.

SATURDAY JAN 16

• Mercury/Pallas Athena conjunction @ 13° Aquarius

Athena brings her wisdom strategy to Mercury's logical reasoning. The result? A highly creative meeting of the minds, bringing new insights, fresh ideas and stimulating conversations to your weekend, and the topics of your Aquarius house.

SUNDAY JAN 17

• Jupiter in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus @ 6°

If you aren't already addressing the tensions brewing in your natal Aquarius and Taurus houses, today's Jupiter/Uranus square just might prompt you to do so. Instead of acting impulsively, focus on the long-term growth that can happen when you are brave enough to take a leap of faith.
