Mercury and Venus are retrograde at once January 14th to 29th. Venus stations direct then, and Mercury retrograde continues until February 3rd. Communication, organizations and relationships go through restructuring and new processes will be put in place following the retrogrades, if not before. During January consider giving things time and space to process, even if that's in conflict with a desire to solve something quickly. Sometimes we have to be with discomfort and trust that the process is worth the outcome.
And the Moon brightens all week as we move toward January 17th's Full Moon.

Sunday~Do you ever notice that one Moon sign tends to be easy or put you in good spirits? Maybe this week track as we begin with Aries Moon. The Moon aligns with serious Saturn overnight, highlighting our commitments to others and whether we will follow through or go our own way. Venus retrograde and the Sun are both square to the Aries Moon, and both are in Capricorn. Edges may be a bit rough or sharp and this will show up in relationships, in relationship to who's in charge and in other control issues. The Moon aligns with Mars making impulsive moves likely, even if we're undecided and unsure. There's either necessity or the urge for immediate gratification steering those quick actions. Today's Aries Moon might feel energizing or quite edgy. Balance anxiety with slowing down to take care of one thing at a time and feel your actual feelings. Monday's color is Orange.
Monday~Aries Moon with a monthly square to Pluto, long in Capricorn, at 2:23 am EST, followed by void of course Moon until 9:47 am EST. The morning could be foggy and some may feel they 'got up on the wrong side of the bed'. We are in the foreshadow of Mercury retrograde and Venus retrograde has us reconsidering some things, such as relationships and whether they are working. Taurus Moon provides a welcome change, in harmony with Jupiter in Pisces for abundance, growth, and creativity. The Sun aligns similarly with Neptune in Pisces for optimism and willingness to follow the dream. Today's color is Pink.
Tuesday~Taurus Moon squares Mercury and Saturn. Negotiations are in the forecast and they may take a while since Mercury is about to retrograde in Aquarius/Capricorn. Chances are that decisions made now will be revised and systems will undergo changes this winter. Taurus Moon is more focused on the long term, so the square points out that some agreements and changes may not be permanent since it's not time yet. Find out what will work for now. The Moon meets Uranus, every month, and this often brings a shift and realization that something needs revision or to be scrapped entirely. (I hope it's not something you worked very hard on.) Mars squares Uranus which can be angry or disappointing and extremely confrontational. Be careful about acting out (or others who act out) to the extreme to make a point or vent. Again, figure out plans or ways to handle things just for now. Today's color is Black, a color for energetic and divine protection. Employ your dark crystals like smoky quartz, obsidian and hematite to absorb negativity if it arises.
Wednesday~Hopefully, Taurus Moon aligning with Venus Tuesday evening softened an edge between you and someone else and leaned more toward understanding. I write this for Wednesday because Mars and Uranus were almost certain to overshadow this effect and more dominating yesterday. Today's aspects are more agreeable as the Moon harmonizes with Neptune, the Sun and Pluto. Time to take a breath, say ok this is how it is for now, and make some peace within yourself. Business matters are highlighted for right now decisions, even temporary ones. Void Moon 2:39 pm to 10:08 pm EST. The Moon then moves to Gemini. Light Blue is today's color.
Thursday~ Gemini Moon offers a little of this, a little of that with a square to Jupiter and harmony with Mercury almost retrograde in Aquarius. The first aspect leads to emotional versus intellectual conflict and feeling versus analyzing. It's ok and might be beneficial to be indecisive. The second aspect is mainly about the mind and it's workings. This may result in solutions, inventions, and original ideas to follow up on. Mercury retrograde can offer opportunities to go back and rediscover passions, plans, and anything that was left incomplete, and to begin again. Go back to that unfinished poem, book or song, to university or program applications, or a personal project with loose ends. Wear Yellow today.
Friday~Gemini Moon and Saturn are in harmony in air signs. Have you been tracking how you feel on certain days, under the Moon's element as we moved from fire, to earth to air sign Moon this week? Of course the planetary aspects also figure in, influencing each day. I know that often the Moon in Cancer tends to bring me down or give physical symptoms while the Leo Moon lifts me back up, for example. Gemini Moon and Saturn favor coming to agreement and defining roles and responsibilities. Mercury retrograde begins at 6:41 am EST and lasts into the first days of February, moving back into Capricorn along the way. The Moon squares Neptune and opposes Mars today, both can be challenging mentally, emotionally and in terms of travel and plans. Avoid arguments and stay calm with disgruntled people who may be very pushy about what they feel entitled to. Void Moon starts 9:22 pm EST. Today's color is Blue.
Saturday~ Closing in on Monday's Full Moon, emotions may be difficult to deal with or feel extreme. This includes protectiveness and love. The Moon shifts to Cancer at 11:11 am EST. We'll tend to defend our position and do things that are self protective during this Full Moon time. Cancer Moon in harmony with Jupiter today is actually helpful for compassion, sensitivity to others, and taking good care. It's also a day for household and financial considerations and spending the money for well being such as to stay healthy or be more comfortable in your home. Nurture yourself or someone else, including the animals and plants. Today's color is Silver.
