We continue through the Dark Moon phase today. The Moon goes void in Capricorn late this morning and remains void for a few hours. Then, the Moon enters Aquarius. We are moving into the New Moon energy! We are also building up to the Mercury-Pluto conjunction overnight tonight! We will feel this conjunction all day. Mercury-Pluto conjunctions are intense and can reveal deep secrets, news, and information coming to light. This conjunction can also signify power plays, power struggles, and bullying. This is a big test in Aquarius; we are being asked to reclaim our personal power and speak up for ourselves! Aquarius is a humanitarian sign and is naturally rebellious. Uranus is also stationed, and Uranus is the planet of rebellion and awakenings. The lid is being blown off of something that needs to be seen. Having all this energy happening at the same time is significant! Hang on to your hats! This energy is wild and untethered.
Venus enters her Retrograde Shadow this morning! Venus is slowing down and will station retrograde in March. She will retrograde from Aries back into the late degrees of Pisces. This is not the time to make drastic changes to your appearance or expensive wardrobe changes. It is also not recommended to get plastic surgeries or large tattoos. No permanent changes to our look/appearance. Finances can feel strained when Venus is retrograde. Relationship problems can surface, and we need quiet contemplation. Try to avoid drastic changes unless the Universe uproots us, and we need to go now. It is said that relationships started under Venus retrogrades fizzle by the time that Venus stations direct. I've seen this in action, and I believe it! Venus retrogrades can also bring back past loves or a feeling of past life connections. Take things slowly in relationships during Venus retrogrades!
Uranus is stationary, going direct on Thursday; we have a power-packed Aquarius New Moon tomorrow and Mercury-Pluto conjunction during a Mars Rx in its sign of Fall and Venus in her retrograde shadow. Slow down, and be gentle with yourself and others. It's a lot!
The Moon is in Capricorn; the Moon in Capricorn is responsible, ambitious, organized, managerial, reserved, dutiful, cautious, somber, and status-seeking.
Moon in Capricorn trines Uranus Stationary in Taurus at 3:42 am; pay attention to your dreams. We are receiving powerful, energetic upgrades.
Moon in Capricorn sextiles Venus in Pisces at 5:53 am; this is a sweet, loving, nourishing aspect. The Moon and Venus are tending to our physical needs.
Venus enters her retrograde shadow in Pisces at 10:33 am; Venus is now covering territory that she will come back to in
Moon in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces at 11:48 am; this is a fertile nourishing aspect. The Moon and Neptune want us to take a break and enjoy nature. Take a walk, chat with a friend.
The Moon goes void of course at 11:48 am with the sextile to Neptune. Enjoy a long lunch, take a walk, or sit in the garden. The Moon is void for a few hours.
The Moon enters Aquarius at 3:31 pm; the Moon in Aquarius is detached, humanitarian, individualistic, non-conforming, independent, aloof, and impersonal.
We are moving into the New Moon energy!
Moon in Aquarius conjuncts Mercury in Aquarius at 5:45 pm; here we go! The Moon and Mercury are meeting to plan the party for the New Moon! This is a great time for conversations and planning for the future. There is intensity during this time because the Moon is coming to meet Pluto shortly after Mercury. Get deep!
Moon in Aquarius conjuncts Pluto in Aquarius at 6:56 pm; this is an intense aspect. Pluto is the planet furthest from us, and Aquarius is the second to last sign. We have deep space energy and information coming through now. This is new and different territory than we have ever known. Take some time to integrate these new energies and journal the complexities. Our emotions are intense during this time. We are still in the Dark Moon energy, so don't go overboard.
Mercury in Aquarius conjuncts Pluto in Aquarius at 3:52 am 1/29; Mercury and Pluto are friends. Mercury, in mythology, was the only God who could enter all three realms: the heavenly realm, the earthly realm, and the underworld. No one can leave the Underworld without losing their minds, except for Mercury! This is where talk therapy and psychological studies come from. Mercury can enter the depths of the mind and retrieve information to help us heal and understand ourselves on deeper levels. We are receiving important information now. Pay attention to your dreams, visions, and intuition. Create a sacred space to avoid being abducted by aliens! Just kidding? We are beginning a time of thinking differently and more futuristically. This aspect can also signify huge news and information coming to light, secrets being revealed! This is cyber-punk vibes.
We begin the Lunar New Year tomorrow morning!
