Mercury Retrograde & Full Moon Astrology for January 1st to January 7th, 2023

 Beginning Tuesday, January 17th 2023 I'll be on WMPG 90.9 fm, app and online stream from 10:00-11:30 am every Tuesday, with music, Robin's Zodiac Zone and other insights such as crystals, animal totem messages and whatever happens to come through that week.

Musically, expect indie rock, local Maine artists, psychedelic, punk, some pop, focus on new music yet plenty of gems from the 70s forward thrown in.

Download the free app or listen at www.wmpg.org. Shows are also archived for later listening.

I'm excited to land in a more permanent time slot after bouncing around through a few different ones for the past year and half. Hope you'll tune in!

Sunday, January 1st 2023! Happy New Year ~ New Year can come with a lot of expectations or even regrets, and Mercury is retrograde with a Full Moon making a strong approach (exact on Friday). In general, try to go easy on yourself and commit only to what your heart fully supports. Taurus Moon can bring focus to the physical self, the body. The Moon and Sun are both in physical earth signs and are in harmony. This may get you on the track you're hoping for with exercise or eating, for examples. Do something nice for your body and experiment with a new, healthy habit, perhaps focusing more on what you want to add than what you want to cut out. Venus and Pluto aligned overnight with a focus on intimacy in every way, on sharing and letting love in, and in some cases on realizing who's good for you or who really isn't. Know thyself and listen to inner wisdom about love and what you want or do not want from relationships. Uranus says go with that inspiration that lights you up today, and feel for the changes you truly want, even if they seem out of reach somehow. Today's color is Green.

Monday ~ This looks like 'a day'. Many aspects contribute to all kinds of possibilities. Mercury retrograde aligns with Neptune in Pisces, and interest in a creative project may be renewed. Get back to music, art or some other form of self expression. Taurus Moon engages with a handful of planets includng Mercury, so it's likely to feel very retrograde, retroactive, and relevant to past times and people. Void Moon starts 5:16 pm ET and Gemini Moon time starts at 9:44 pm ET. Pick up a good book or do some writing tonight. Ideas are likely to flow out easily, verbally or in writing. Start the journal or log you'd like to keep this year. It's a social night too as the Moon and Venus align. Venus moves to Aquarius tonight at 9:09 pm, and both Gemini and Aquarius have social and people oriented qualities. Connect with someone or with others who share your interests and feel like energetic matches. Wear Blue.

Tuesday~ Gemini Moon and Full Moon feelings increase as we head for Friday's Cancer Full Moon. Fortunately, Jupiter in Aries aligns with the Moon for re-starts and jump starts on plans and projects. Mars and the Moon meet which can be invigorating especially mentally. This conjunction can also come on strong with opinions or even debates and conflicts increasing. Notice if you're pushing your agenda too strongly or if you or someone else just can't slow down and listen/hear the whole story. Keep an open mind. Wear Yellow.

Wednesday ~ Gemini Moon aligns with Saturn and squares Neptune. When I see this, I always feel like saying 'you never know'. Today, things could really go either way as far as the lunar influence and our emotions and minds. Remain flexible in thinking and planning and be cautious about what you commit to or say yes to. The bigger influence, I think, is Venus and Jupiter in harmony. This favors new love, dating, the social outlook in general, being part of a group, feeling prosperous, creative and open hearted. Void Moon starts 7:08 pm ET. Wear Purple.

Thursday ~ The Moon is nearly Full and moves into Cancer at 9:15 am after hours void of course. The Moon squares Jupiter. Notice if you doubt yourself, your path or your dreams today and be with that gently. It's natural to feel uprising anxiety or emotion as the Moon peaks in Cancer. A square is not for giving up, it's for working through and finding the place of compromise or challenge. The Sun aligns with Uranus and this can be enlightening, a little wild or outrageous and attention getting. Again it feels like almost anything could happen and hopefully it's a welcome surprise. Wear Turquoise.

Friday ~ Cancer Moon aligns with Uranus in Taurus, and the Moon becomes Full and opposes the Sun at 6:08 pm ET. This could be alot to digest and to feel. Plan a gentle, easygoing day. Mercury also opposes the Moon, so it's quite the retrograde kind of Full Moon, with many things from the past coming up including memories, unfinished business and more. This is the Full Moon in the Moon's home sign and that's emotionally intense. It could be wonderful emotions, but if you feel like hiding and hibernating til it goes by, do just that. Practice restorative yoga and other quieting, safe, gentle things. Do not argue or be harsh with yourself, either.  Wear White.

Saturday ~ Cancer Moon meets Pluto and aligns with Neptune, and the Sun meets Mercury retrograde. All of yesterday's forecast is relevant. The Sun may bring things more out into the open and brings reconnnections with people from our pasts. You may feel very reflective and introspective or you may feel like reaching out to someone you haven't spoken with in a long time. Whatever we do, choose mindfully and with care as emotions may be tender and sensitive all around. Void Moon 5:23 pm to 9:40 pm when the Moon moves to Leo. Wear Blue.
