Sunday, January 29th ~ Taurus Moon aligns with Neptune and squares Saturn. This is a monthly pattern and may feel familiar as conflict between responsibilities and dreamier things. If you can rest, create at  your own pace, and use your imaginative mind, do that. Today, the Sun and Mars are in harmony and this could be energizing and full of enthusiasm as well as contagious. Getting together in larger groups may feel very inspiring or activating. Mercury and Uranus say there's news to be shared and this news has an essence of change and 'in with the new'. Wear Blue today.

Monday ~ Void of course Moon for a few hours 12:52 to 3:35 am ET. Then the Moon moves to Gemini and interact with Venus, Jupiter and Mars. Personal and other relationships are in the forefront. There's a mix of good chemistry and possible differences (isn't there always though!). The Moon and Jupiter point to learning environments, study and entertaining philosophies of life which can also be philosophical differences as the Moon and Venus square. None of this feels overly strong and it seems that differences can be overcome with love and mutual goals, one or the other. Study and explore a topic of interest today, perhaps together. Wear Yellow.

Tuesday ~ Gemini Moon aligns with the Sun at 1:24 am ET. This continues some of Monday's vibes. Pursue an interest, read a good book, or gather with friends or colleagues on the same mission as yourself. I wouldn't say this week is 'boring', but it is less charged and not so full of retrograde madness. So you might actually get something done, work on something of importance, and have fewer blocks and distractions or errors. Communicate clearly and avoid putting things off. Wear Light Blue.

Wednesday ~ Gemini Moon squares Neptune and aligns with Saturn-different from yet related to the action of Sunday. Things may have shifted since then. Agreements may come more easily. Reliability may be an issue though. Notice who's missing or not taking responsibility. Also, ask lots of clarifying questions if something feels not quite honest or up front. Void Moon 6:58 am to 3:11 pm ET. Cancer Moon draws us to home, comfort, and comfort food tonight. Wear Light Green.

Thursday ~ It's IMBOLC, and light is returning in a more noticeable way. The Moon is in home sign Cancer and in harmony with Venus in Pisces for romance, loving, caring, and soothing the heart. Jupiter squares the Moon and this may mean setting priorities. It feels like home and those dearest to us take top priority, yet there could be some inner conflict about pursuing a dream vs staying close to home and loved ones. Take time with this. The Moon and Uranus favor moments of clarity. Write them down or otherwise commit them to memory so they don't slip by like dreams. Wear White.

Friday ~ Cancer Moon opposes Mercury, and Mercury has retraced some degrees since the retrograde. This takes us to unfinished business, and since it's in Cancer there's likely a personal and emotional component to consider or reconcile before moving forward. The Moon is nearly Full and there's a tendency to seek the closure and the final result. Neptune will be helpful if this is creative work or process, but could contribute to laissez faire or distractions when common sense and serious intention is what's needed. Tonight as we get right into the Full Moon zone, the Sun square to Uranus could bring up frustrations and highlight places where we're having trouble letting go despite circumstances that require change and re-inventing. Notice any area where you need to re-invent your life or perspective. This may feel strong as we move into the Fullness of the lunar cycle this weekend. Consider if a group or peer pressures are holding you back from authenticism and what you really want and are destined for. Today's color is Turquoise.

Saturday ~ Full Moon is Sunday at 1:29 pm ET in Leo. The Moon enters Leo at 3:48 am ET and syncs with Jupiter, harkening back to our New Moon in Aquarius two weeks ago. Jupiter is the supporting player during this cycle and is set to open us up to experiences, learning, travels and generally broadening our perspective and understanding of the world. This trine is full of enthusiasm and open mind and heart. A square between Venus and Mars contrasts this and spotlights love and relationship, especially for Pisces, Gemini, Sagittarius and Virgo in long term relationships and marriages. There could be contention, something to sort out, or a real difference of opinion or love language that's creating conflicts or distance. This action is hosted by the mutable signs, the signs of shift, flow and change. Maybe that will make it easier, since there's more yield. Whatever you're feeling or going through, it's likely to accentuate and be amplified or exaggerated this weekend. Go easy. Wear Gold.

Sunday, January 22nd~ It's Lunar New Year of the Rabbit, and New Moon was Saturday at 3:53 pm ET. This New Moon favors friendship and community and expanding through collaborations and groups. Today, Aquarius Moon aligns with Mars in Gemini, encouraging all of this and leading us to brainstorm and share ideas, stories and animated conversations. The Moon also squares Uranus, potentially encouraging us to think beyond boundaries or limitations and act independently and authentically. Venus and Saturn meet in Aquarius, putting some meaning and commitment into love and romantic life. Form agreements today. Share time with friends. Wear Pink.

Monday~ The Moon meets both Venus and Saturn continuing the mission of their conjunction on Sunday. Notice where more meaningful commitment and presence are needed in relationships, either interpersonally or professionally. From 5:19 am to 12:36 pm, the Moon is void of course and we may need to sit with problems or otherwise exercise patience. Let the morning flow naturally and save decisions and important talks for afternoon. Pisces Moon follows, and it's a time to acknowledge both your creative and your sensitive sides. Today's color is Light Green.

Tuesday~ Pisces Moon interacts with Mars, Mercury and Uranus. The latter two planets are in harmony with the Moon and lead to heart centered conversation or action, and also to unique and creative solutions. Mars squares the Moon and brings up points of contention. Leave an unproductive conversation, avoid any gossip, and notice if passive aggression is at play, within yourself or from someone else. Replace it with something productive or through letting a resentment go, if it's time and there's readiness for something better. Wear Blue today.

Wednesday ~ The early hours favor reflection, journaling, emotional awareness and dreams as the Moon meets Neptune and aligns with Pluto. Do the inner work and center yourself. Void Moon begins at 11:12 am ET until 1:48 pm ET when Aries Moon shifts us into all systems on mode. The Moon meets Jupiter and harmonizes with the Sun, all of this favoring growth, opening minds to new ideas, and putting heads together for the best outcomes. Listen to each other and be aware of how strengths can be combined. Go with your inspiration, make plans and take actions that broaden the horizon. Wear Red.

Thursday ~ Aries Moon forms a sextile with Mars, two signs away, in Gemini. This continues yesterday's forward movement and momentum. New ideas may come up for integrating or exploring as options. There could be excessive mental or external chatter. Rest your eyes as needed. Aries Moon square to Mercury in Capricorn brings up conversations or questions about power and who's in charge or ready to lead and take a more important leadership role. This may or may not be resolved today. At 9:33 pm ET, Venus changes signs, heading into Pisces where she boosts compassion and sense of beauty and harmony. Wear Yellow.

Friday ~ Aries Moon until 6:42 pm ET. We begin with Aries Moon joining forces with Saturn, requesting serious commitment or intention around our roles and how this impacts other people. It's favorable overall, so this may come naturally. Aries Moon then squares Pluto, leading to questioning of intentions, our own or the motives of others. Really hone in on your intuitive knowing and let that guide you. Look below the surface. Void Moon from 4:01 to 6:42 pm ET and a change of energy with Taurus Moon aligned with Venus for a romantic or cozy night. Wear Pink today.

Saturday ~ Taurus Moon squares the Sun and it's time to get head and heart, body and mind, on the same page and path. Define your goals and re-commit to your efforts. Try not to let stubbornness block something potentially beneficial. Mercury and the Moon align  in earth signs, keeping us grounded in our decisions and taking ideas to the next level, such as production or action. Finally, Uranus and the Moon have their monthly conjunction, as if to say what's new? This IS. Surprises may arrive with this, and/or cogs in the wheel may come up for resolution, changing some plans and projects (for the better maybe!). Today's color is Green.

2nd crystals workshop with Nico is on February 1st 7:00 pm

Sunday ~ The Moon enters Scorpio at 7:08 am ET and later aligns with Mercury retrograde in Capricorn. Reconnect with a friend or a project you left unfinished. Stay centered in how you feel and establish a healthy boundary. Personal priorities are favored today. One center of focus is preferable to multiple projects or distractions. Note what's worthy of your attention and renewal. Wear Indigo Blue.

Monday ~ Scorpio Moon opposes Uranus and is square to Venus. This may challenge patience and disturb what feels like the balance. But is it? Needing to reorganize and rearrange due to unforeseen circumstances CAN be a positive thing. Personal relationships experience conflict or differences which can result in more harmony or in necessary shift or separation. Black is today's color.

Tuesday ~ Scorpio Moon overnight aligns with Neptune and the Sun, establishing some centeredness and possibly decisiveness as the day begins. Void Moon 9:27 am ET after the Moon aligns with Pluto in Capricorn. This morning is for deep thinking and reflection and acknowledging inner wisdom. Do not go against your intuition. At 12:33 pm ET the Moon shifts to Sagittarius and the element of fire is further amplified as the Moon and Jupiter form a trine. Quick moves and accelerated learning are two effects. The urge to move, travel, shift, and upgrade is likely to be strong. This can help us out of mid winter blues. Wear Red.

Wednesday ~ The Moon opposes Mars, newly direct in Gemini. Passive aggression is a cycle to break. Can this be done gently? Temper boldness or potential abrasiveness. Couch criticism or conflict with honest compliments and by acknowledging the positive, even if there are problems. Mercury stations direct at 8:12 am ET. This can be a whopper of a Mercury retrograde day though. Stay very aware of how you communicate, of potential misunderstandings, and of details that must not be forgotten. Capricorn hosts a meeting of the Sun and Pluto. Inner wisdom leads to public announcements and actions. Internal and external influences may balance out, resulting in decisions and readiness. The Moon and Venus are in harmony tonight for love, romance, dates, creative work and getting along well in general. Smooth something over, reconnect, and work in groups and teams. Wear Purple.

Thursday ~ Sagittarius Moon with the monthly square to Neptune and sextile to Saturn between 3:17 and 5:09 am ET, respectively. The Moon is then in the void of course zone until 2:11 pm ET. With Mercury newly stationed direct, this really feels like a day to pause and act very thoughtfully and slowly. If the impulse is to go faster, take a moment and check in. On this day before the Sun changes signs, and 2 days prior to New Moon, take stock, review, and emphasize perspective, view and lens so you don't move too fast without all the necessary information and timing. Travel in groups. Put great ideas and minds together, in the same room or zoom room. Begin to clear the way for new endeavors and big ideas. Let the small stuff go. Moon in Capricorn 2:11 pm ET and square to Jupiter the planet of expansion tonight. Confront and begin to remove or sort out obstacles. Today's color is Blue.

Friday ~ Capricorn Moon meets Mercury and aligns with Uranus in Taurus. The Sun moves to Aquarius at 3:30 am ET. A winter shift follows all of this. Random events or occurences make way for new perspective and change of focus. New Moon in Aquarius on Saturday is supported by Jupiter and favors growth, learning, beginnings and allies or mentorships. Brainstorm about what supports your dreams and endeavors now, and include the people who could play a part. Communicate a plan or a question clearly. Write things down, to recall later or for proof. Wear Turquoise.

Saturday ~ New Moon in Aquarius in harmony with Jupiter in Aries. Go forward with an open mind. A leap of faith could be called for. The energy of this New Moon is expansion and includes all the threads of connection we have to other people and places. Think of Radiating and Rays of the Sun for inspiration. This day starts with Capricorn Moon meeting Pluto and in harmony with Neptune. Dreams may be activated and journaling and reflecting is favored before New Moon. The Moon shifts to Aquarius at 1:29 pm ET and meets the Sun at 3:53 pm ET. That's the New Moon moment. Take action close to New Moon, in the two weeks ahead and as close to this day as feels right. Wear White.

Mercury Retrograde Continues ~ Astrology for January 8th-14th, 2023

We are in the thick of Mercury retrograde, and so far we need to replace our furnace, replaced a motor on a home utility and replaced a breaker in the electrical system. I was sick the whole first week of 2023 and  had to cancel and reschedule all kinds of things. I'm hoping it all hit up front since Mercury retrograde is with us until January 18th.

Sunday ~ Leo Moon aiming to brighten moods and uplift energy. Mars and Jupiter are in harmony with the Moon for forward movement and action on intentions and goals. It's a favorable day for both learning from studies and from experiences. The Moon also opposes Venus putting both personal and whole group relationships in the forefront for resolving differences and being more upbeat and supportive with one another. Mercury and Pluto align for self study and review tonight. Today's color is Orange.

Monday ~ A mixed Monday with Leo Moon square to Uranus and opposing Saturn. One question is how can originality and inventiveness be a benefit and overcome stagnation or redoing the same thing that never worked in the first place. Again there's a need to sort our differences and also to avoid repeating dysfunctional patterns. Venus and Mars align in air signs Aquarius and Gemini and lead to airing out, clearing the air, sharing ideas and reconnecting. Void Moon starts 8:52 pm ET. Wear Yellow.

Tuesday ~ Virgo Moon time arrives at 10:15 am ET, and people may need extra time and some flexibility before that time. A slow or mixed  up start is to be expected. If you have a test or presentation or anything else significant, be extra organized before morning. Solo projects are a good way to spend your day. People may come across as judgmental or chippy. Look for progress and results of  your efforts. Wear Indigo.

Wednesday ~ Virgo Moon squares Mars in Gemini. That chippy feeling, the edginess or difficulty getting along may arise. Virgo Moon is in harmony with Mercury retrograde and with Uranus in Taurus. Try an alternative approach to something stubborn. Look for answers to unanswered questions or problems. Get grounded in solutions. Wear Brown.

Thursday ~ The Moon and Sun harmonize in earth signs, and Mars stations direct. These are positive signs! Face and deal with things productively, head on straight and sensible. Mars stations at 3:56 pm ET in Gemini. If Mars retrograde for several weeks since October 30th felt like a mental block or alot of conflict to you, maybe that's coming to a close. It's mentally challenging to have Mars retrograde in Gemini. Neptune and Pluto have a softening influence with the Virgo Moon today. Perhaps you can relax or sign relief, or possibly you really need to get your head and heart into something that needs finishing. Void Moon in Virgo 6:06 pm to 9:56 pm for a quiet evening and relaxation with not too much scheduled. Libra Moon follows. Wear Green.

Friday ~ Libra Moon opposes Jupiter, squares Mercury retrograde and forms an easy going trine to Mars. Work on differences today. See if partnerships need revisions and changes to the ongoing agreements. Does going forward together make sense or is it time to part? This may be more in business than personal relationships, but could apply to either. Consider and/or embrace current and newer ideas. Notice what really inspires and motivates you and how and who you can work with this. The Sun and Neptune are in harmony for that balance of practical and visionary. Wear Blue.

Saturday ~ Libra Moon aligns with Venus for positive and romantic relationship vibes. That occurs jusst after midnight so could apply to Friday night as well. Libra Moon later aligns with Saturn in Aquarius and our agreements and commitments within groups is highlighted. These are compatible signs, so group, partner and team work may benefit.. Two squares follow including Sun and Moon square in the cardinal signs, a call to progress and move through a barrier. Venus square to Uranus spotlights relationships and changes and news surrounding partnership, engagements, marriages and status shifts. Wear Pink today.
