Inspired ideas and an optimistic outlook define this Venus Day. Mercury harmonizes with Jupiter, bringing an abundance of brain power! At the same time, Venus and Neptune come into a 90º square, forcing us to see the world through rose-colored glasses. It’s easy to be overly optimistic today. But remember- we’re easily confused too. Following spontaneous desires now could lead to cleaning up big messes later. The moon and Uranus meet in Taurus, setting the stage for surprises! Start a revolution, not a riot.

We can easily step into our power, speak our mind, and share our abundance today. Mercury and Saturn lock into a supportive sextile, helping us communicate with authority and express our ideas. Mental clarity and focus are positive side effects too. The moon moves into Taurus, tapping us into our senses. Positive connections to Mars and Jupiter give us plenty of energy to move our bodies and go after our dreams! This is a beautiful day to take the lead.

I feel the need… the need to succeed! The First Quarter Moon in Aries lights a fire under us to move towards our desires. We can trust our instincts are leading us in the direction of our highest purpose- all we have to do is take the first step. It’s easy to share our passions with others as the moon harmonizes with Venus. Getting what we want feels natural today. Fair warning- watch out for obsessive or controlling tendencies when the moon clashes with Pluto late tonight!

Hold your horses! The fiery Aries moon makes aggravating connections to Mercury and Mars, creating tension between our head and our heart. Watch out for impulsive or even hostile reactions today. Keep your side of the street clean and give others grace- we’ll all be a little more irritable under this unsettling energy. Old wounds could feel like they’ve been ripped open by the end of the day. Where there is pain, there is the potential to become stronger in our healing.

Our sensitivity is our superpower today. In the midst of cold and serious Capricorn season, a sextile between the sun and Neptune reminds us that rest is productive. Getting quiet and trusting our intuition can actually help us succeed- Imagination helps us reach higher heights too! The moon in Pisces brings subconscious emotions and needs to the surface, allowing us to unpack what we truly want. It might feel like we’re sleep walking through the day. Sink into this soft and dreamy state- when we’re fully relaxed, we can more easily release what we’re ready to let go of.

The future looks bright! Venus harmonizes with the North Node, aligning our desires with our destiny. Optimism about our future can help us move forward in relationships or make big travel plans. Spontaneous wishes could be instantly fulfilled! The Pisces moon meets Saturn, bringing up fear and doubt, but our worries are quickly assuaged by supportive connections to Jupiter and Mars this morning. It’s easy to jump into action and trust in the moves we’re making. This afternoon, the moon opposes Lilith, helping us to clearly see the ways our emotions have been repressed. This is an opportunity to reclaim our sovereignty and be intentional about how we process our feelings.

A restless mind is par for the course! Mental Mercury spends the day at the last degree of Sagittarius, bringing through big dreams and spontaneous ideas. A supportive connection to the Aquarius moon makes us feel innovative and open to new perspectives too. Together in a supportive sextile, the moon and Mercury enter new signs this evening. Even if you feel like you have a million dollar idea, sleep on it. When Mercury enters Capricorn, we’ll be able to think more practically. But don’t worry… the waxing crescent moon in Pisces will keep us tapped into the magic over the coming days.

On the heels of the ambitious new moon in Capricorn, we can easily jump into action! Motivating Mars harmonizes with abundant Jupiter today, creating a perfect opportunity to take the first steps toward our biggest goals. We are both grounded and optimistic, making practical moves and trusting the path of least resistance will unfold as we move. With the Waxing Crescent moon in Aquarius, we are emotionally invested in the future. We can tune into the internal experiences that set us apart and use our unique perspectives to march forward to the beat of our own drum! A perfect blend of responsibility and rebellion, now is the time to make the first move!

The first New Moon of the New Year brings a fated opportunity to dream big. Supercharged by the energy of the 1/11 date on the calendar, this new moon is ripe with possibility. As the moon and sun meet in Capricorn, it feels as if we’re standing at the base of a mountain with the almost delusional confidence needed to reach the summit. Perfectly positioned between the nodes of fate, we must negotiate both our past and our future in this moment. What do you need to let go of in order to step into your next version? Focus on your big vision rather than your next steps and simply commit to moving in the direction of your destination. Trust in your dreams. They’re yours for a reason. And don’t be surprised how quickly the Universe moves when you decide what you truly desire and trust your intuition.

On the last day of Capricorn season, we can reflect on the wisdom we’ve gained and the lessons we’ve learned. The dark moon is an invitation to cultivate stillness. As the moon moves from fiery Sagittarius to serious Capricorn this morning, we’re more concerned with logical processing than trusting our intuition. The overall energy of the day feels like an opportunity to look back at the mountain we’ve been climbing and give ourselves credit for how far we’ve come.

Powerful realizations and transformations are possible today- and not just because Mercury Retrograde ends! As the planet of communication stations direct, we have a moment to pause and reflect on the lessons we’ve learned and the review we’ve undergone over the past few weeks. But at nearly the same time, the Capricorn sun meets up with Pluto, illuminating what is being alchemized and empowering us to transform. What old patterns and ways of thinking are dying in order for you to be reborn? The waning moon in Sagittarius asks us to trust in this surrender and have faith in an outcome better than we can imagine.

It’s easy to lean into empowerment as the Scorpio moon makes supportive angles to the sun and Pluto in Capricorn this morning. Being aware of our own emotional capacity allows us to face the current transformation we’re undergoing with confidence. But wait to start anything new until the moon moves into Sagittarius around 9:30 AM PT. The coming days remind us that there’s growth opportunities in the process of letting go. Optimism and faith feel natural as the moon moves through the sign of the archer.
