Astrology Forecast for Creatives | the week of January 21st - from obstacles to optimism this week, breakthroughs and breakdowns, our energy supply is exhausted - really avoid those vampires now - a limit is reached, the more we want the more we can get, BIG love, words from the past, a conclusion, an ending, unexpected news, our actions make us lucky and yes, we can get there from here, but it won't be by traveling in a straight line

Ouuu by Dzagna

This is another BIG week.
Today we have the exact square between fast moving, impulsive and youthful Mars (in his home sign of Aries, so strong and brave) and "the wall" Saturn (in his home sign of Cappy, so strong and solid and able to outlast Mars) - we talked about this in the Eclipse post - scroll down to Saturn/Mars.

Maybe our energy reaches its limit. These times are exhausting many people. People who are used to standing on solid ground need to expend a whole lot of energy to maintain their balance when the ground is shaking.

Mars runs into Saturn early in the day (EST) so it could be we run right into an obstacle. 

Mars/Saturn is heavy. It can be depressing. It can even be cruel. Hang in there. If something really doesn't need to be done today (and maybe it actually never needs to be done at all) this would be the time to cross it off your list. Saturn rules time and (even though it's another construct that isn't as firm as we think it is and won't always be needed here) won't see it wasted.

Take some action somewhere though. When Mars can't move at all he gets mad. Work up a sweat. Just know your limits. Don't go beating your head against a wall. The wall will win. And you will be stuck with a killer headache and a hole the size of a basketball (yes, I've noticed that big head you have - me, too).

On Friday, Mars is going to trine Jupiter - things will ease up and UP. Is it hard to believe in just a couple days we will be feeling lucky? It is for me!

Maybe the struggle early in the week will pay off later in the week.

At the very least some optimism will return.

Tomorrow is a big day. Venus is going to conjunct Jupiter (love grows, money grows) so there are blue skies right over there. Believe it.

The more we want, the more we want, but also the more we can get.

And Mercury is going to conjunct the South Node. There could be a message from the past or a concluding situation with a sibling/Mercury theme. Paperwork could be finalized. Good-byes are permanent with this one.

On Wednesday, Mercury is going to square Uranus - unexpected news/information. Plans move in a new direction. Stuff goes off-course.

You can see this week is up and down with the possibilities for major breakthroughs and breakdowns and for those breakdowns/breakthroughs we have experienced over the last month some opportunities for movement and process.

The Moon is in Leo today - there's fun to be had somewhere ...

Mercury conjunct Pluto, Venus trine Mars, the Sun square Uranus sextiles Chiron | the power of information, secrets are revealed, deep conversations, solutions, decisions, words come up and out, psychic communications, announcements, lucrative ideas, our actions getting us what we want, change hurts and heals, wanting to BOLT

Lots of aspects today as we build toward the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on Sunday/Monday. I wrote about it HERE

We have Mercury conjunct Pluto at 21 degrees Capricorn (right on my natal Mercury and I have been working with Mercury/Pluto for a couple years. I am going to write tonight about how all this is playing out ... this morning I am going to acupuncture to have some needles stuck in my head which sounds about right, too).

Venus (in Sag) trines Mars (in Aries) at 11 degrees. The Sun (still in Cappy for a couple more days) squares Uranus (!), sextiles Chiron AND we have our monthly waxing inconjunct between the Sun and the Moon - this time from Capricorn and Gemini. The Moon goes void at 8:32PM EST (off a sextile to Uranus - do something different tonight) and then comes home to family/real estate/mother focused Cancer at 10:44PM EST for the weekend.

Other than the Moon - everything here is in play during the upcoming Full Moon Lunar Eclipse.

Did I already say I wrote about it HERE?

With the Moon (in Gemini) answering to Mercury, deep in Pluto territory the stage is set for honest communications. We get to the bottom of things. Conversations (usually light and chatty during Gemini Moon days) go deep - and maybe dark. Information is dug up. It may not all be things we want to know. Although on some level we are seeking any painful revelations. Discussions can be intimate. Good for research. Secrets are unearthed. Words (Mercury) are powerful (Pluto). Power struggles, communications with powerful people or where our own powerful underpinnings are awakened are possible. Shadow issues and what we do in the dark (sex, death, taxes, reproduction) are talked about. It's good energy to verbalize what we are carrying inside. Keep in mind the Sun is squaring Uranus, so we are all one step from bolting/running away from something and our words are powerful now.

Mercury in Cappy - picture the serious reporter with the pencil behind his ear and his fingertips on the typewriter getting the important story out because he is doing his job - who meets up with Pluto today giving Pluto (transformation/death) a voice.  

Words will really deliver a punch now. Maybe even a knock-out blow. Keep this in mind.

Venus and Mars are playing nice - so our actions (Mars) can get us what we want (Venus). Our masculine and feminine energies are working smoothly together. Flames are fanned. With Venus in big-thinking Sagittarius and approaching her conjunction with Jupiter next week - there is an ability to see the bigger picture with whatever is going on and especially with love/money issues. These two energies together in the signs they are in have a definite "GO" feel to it.

The Sun squaring Uranus is a need for freedom/liberation/trying something new. Plans change, so expect the unexpected. Disruptions. Chaos. Anything can happen. The Sun's sextile to Chiron at the same time speaks of an opportunity for healing (remember Chironic wounds are healed through acceptance of what we have to learn to live with) coming through whatever gets stirred up here. We are healed through the change/disruption. If you need a mental health break you will really need to take it now.

The waxing inconjunct is a rock and a hard place between Capricorn and Gemini - maybe those answers/plot twists Mercury is digging up leave us with no where to hide anymore .....
