With two inner planets changing signs and another one changing direction, we are guaranteed something is changing/shifting gears this week - are we ready?!
Let's unpack the week.
MONDAY - Mars into Capricorn, Juno conjunct Pluto
TUESDAY - Mercury retrograde enters Capricorn, Third Quarter Moon
WEDNESDAY - Mercury trine North Node
FRIDAY - Sun sextile Chiron, Mercury conjunct Pluto
SATURDAY - VENUS STATIONS DIRECT
SUNDAY - Sun square Uranus
On MONDAY, Mars enters Capricorn - the sign of his exaltation. Capricorn is VERY good for Mars - anchors his fire. Gives him (as us) goals/limits/boundaries - that can create stability. The fly in the ointment with Mars in Cappy is pushing ourselves and other people too hard. Mars/Saturn can get alot done, but can also be cold/brutal - keep this in mind. With Mars' change of signs, life is moving forward and we ARE taking action, even as we (through Mercury retrograde) are still looking back. Unlike Venus and Mercury, Mars will NOT station retrograde here, so his travels over the HOT Cappy degrees and meeting with Pluto will all be fast. In Capricorn, Mars is going to meet up with Venus, their dance will be a BIG part of February's story-line. We talked about this HERE.
This is also the day Juno, at 26 degrees Capricorn, meets up with Pluto. This is a transformation regarding a contract/relationship. Plutonian contacts add a 'before and after' flavor to situations/events. We can't go back. People with planets/degrees at 26 degrees of the cardinal signs will feel this one strongest. In Cappy, commitments made now will be serious/bring stability/be long-lasting. Endings will be permanent.
On TUESDAY, our retrograde Mercury backs into Capricorn. Now we are taking the ideas/information/whatever we have been re-thinking/re-vising and begin testing things out in the real world. Since Mercury was last in Cappy, Mars has joined the Cappy party - we now have Venus, Mars and Mercury ALL in Cappy without the Sun, very unusual I think, especially when you consider they are all answering to Saturn in Aquarius where the Sun is now. Our Cappy/Aqua houses and their themes are uber ENERGIZED. Collectively this is re-activating conversations and information - career/goals/authority related - from the past. Also activated, although some of this is more through Venus, are the re-considerations of the ways we push ourselves and others (maybe too hard), don't take care of ourselves, neglect to value home/family/the small beginnings of things or think love/resources must be earned.
This is also the day of our Third Quarter Moon - last challenge to our Full Moon before next week's BIG New Moon in Aquarius. The Moon at 5 Scorpio squares the Aquarius Sun. This is fixed water vs fixed air. The Aqua Sun wants to detach/see things from a distance and the Scorpio Moon is requiring we go deeper/maybe get more emotionally involved. Our outsider/rebel tendencies might be confronted via our own or someone else's passions. Squares are tension/frustration. Within minutes of this square the Moon will trine - brakes off/smooth flow - Jupiter (in Pisces), so the intensity/deeper emotions will bring us into a smooth flow with something bigger than ourselves once we get past the square. This might come through expansion, stepping outside our comfort zone, being more compassionate/forgiving, using our imagination/art/music, prayer or meditation. This can also speak of the need to rest.
On WEDNESDAY, Mercury (retrograde), at 29 degrees Cappy trines the North Node at 29 degrees Taurus. It's no coincidence we have THREE planets in Cappy as the North Node has shifted into Taurus and we get these smooth energetic connections with HOW WE ARE GOING TO GET WHERE WE'RE GOING/fate/the future. Good news can come in. Arrows lit up that point us OVER THERE. The right book can fall off the shelf. The right conversation can happen. A seriously good idea come in. Send the email/take the call. Keep in mind with Mercury retrograde this probably will not be a totally new thing. But with the North Node in Taurus now, we are connecting different dots!
On FRIDAY, the Sun, at 9 degrees Aquarius sextiles Chiron and Mercury (retrograde) meets up with Pluto for his second of three conversations (26 degrees Capricorn).
Mercury met Pluto on December 30th and will meet Pluto again on February 11th. This is their "re" meeting when power is being re-vised/re-hashed/re-visited. Truth/secrets that have come out are being re-discussed, re-looked at. This might also speak of the re-peating of an important conversation/piece of information. Keep in mind, nothing is set in stone now, we will be back here, older/wiser, in mid February. At the same time, the Sun in Aquarius is sextiling (opportunity) healing Chiron in Aries. Maybe this time whatever Mercury/Pluto is digging up doesn't have the same 'sting' and so is able to heal very old wounds. In Aqua, we can step back/not take things so personally/see the big picture.
On SATURDAY, Venus, having done her job, rock-solid Goddess that she is in Cappy, stations direct at 11 degrees Capricorn. Now she begins to walk these Cappy degrees for the third and final time. Venusian/Cappy themes can turn around here. Money that was held up can start to come in. Romances/things we have been newly attracted to during her retro might fall apart (do we still want this?), just as other attractions her retro put on hold or revised can begin to move forward. Collectively this speaks of progress with our goals/ambitions/professional relationships.
On SUNDAY, the Sun, at 10 degrees Aquarius squares Aqua ruler Uranus (in Taurus).
Happening within hours of Venus's station (with Uranus in Taurus answering to her and the Sun in Aquarius answering to Uranus - so all roads lead to Venus here) - this is freedom/liberation - whatever is changing with our finances, what we want, our resources, value or self esteem is ROCKING THE BOAT. Breakthroughs. Breakdowns. Breakups. All possible. We had a Saturn/Uranus square for all last year and Saturn has had the upper hand since October when he stationed direct, but now Uranus is direct, too, and the Sun is in Aquarius. This change is going to be a good thing even if it does come with our backs against the wall.
The Moon will be in Aquarius, too, building toward Monday's NEW MOON. Her only aspect today is her own square to Uranus, so we will be feeling the tension/frustration of whatever we have 'rocking and rolling' (the change/disorder) and it will be pulled into our New Moon story - as 'what we are going to do about this change' plays out.
At the time of the New Moon, which will be. a serious new beginning, Pluto (in Capricorn) will be trining the North Node, Mars will be in tune witb Uranus, pulling us forward and activating HOW WE ARE GOING TO GET WHERE WE'RE GOING, so remember this if changes now are upsetting. The changes are lining us up with the future. And keep in mind with that North Node in Taurus, the solution/path will not be some complicated thing, it will be the simplest thing.
We'll cover the Aquarius New Moon in the next post I think. And then get to the U.S. Pluto return series! Hope something here is helpful. Keep in mind I write about these aspects on the days they are most exact, they may actually show up stronger for you as they apply (wax) and sometimes even unwind (wane) depending on how they are interacting with your personal chart and some aspects are naturally more potent when applying.
