Overview of the Week Ahead:

The Sun shines in the cardinal earth sign Capricorn until January 19. The next two weeks hold strong energy for work and accomplishing goals. The cardinal signs (Capricorn, Aries, Cancer, and Libra) are action oriented. Make things happen!

Monday to Wednesday the Moon is in Taurus where it is exalted. Combined with the Sun, these are practical days that support good work and planning. Taurus loves to please the senses, so cook good food or enjoy fine dining out. Mercury moves into Capricorn on Tuesday, January 8, adding practical, discerning thinking to the earthy mix through its stay in the industrious sign until January 29.

Friday, January 10, boasts an exuberant Moon-Jupiter conjunction. Thursday through Saturday are social, curious, fun days.

The Mars-Pluto opposition has reached its exactitude, though it is within orb through the presidential inauguration, January 20. This dynamic, raging alignment that can have negative consequences if its fury is unleashed, such as evidenced with the recent New Orleans terrorist rage of killing, and the plane crash in South Korea. However, it can be harnessed for good to accomplish something demanding, like running a race, doing some heavy lifting, or tackling a challenging project, so lean in and use this energy wisely the next couple of weeks. Mars will be retrograde until February 24, and it will not be exactly opposite Pluto again until April 26.

Retrograde Jupiter is also backing off its square to Saturn, easing the tension between expansion and contraction. Retrograde Jupiter stations to move direct on February 3, and does not square Saturn again until June.

Moon Void of Course:

This is the time when the Moon makes its last major angular aspect with a planet before it moves into the next zodiacal sign tropically. This void time, when the Moon is not aspecting a planet, but rather floating on its own, is a time when things don’t come together and it is difficult to make good decisions. Purchases made during void Moons often turn out to be unsatisfactory and not work out. Appointments often don’t come together, and meetings don’t result in progress or sound, lasting decisions. We more easily get lost or meander in trying to get somewhere. The VoC Moon times for the next month are listed below so that you can plan meetings, decisions, and purchases at times when the Moon is not VoC; and use the void times for gardening, reading, and routine task work.
