Venus Conjunct Jupiter, Mercury Conjunct South Node | now would be the time to ask yourself - do you feel lucky? - a leap of faith, attraction on steroids, optimism is magnetic, defining words, conversation from the past, saying it/hearing it again, a line in the sand, an ending, a powerful good-bye






Our heart-centered and fun-loving Leo Moon makes nice with Jupiter (11:29 AM EST) before going void off another trine to Uranus at 8:19PM EST - a good night to do something different; something liberating. She will move into organized Virgo tonight (10:22PM EST) focusing us on Virgo themes for the next couple days - our work, day-to-day activities, paperwork, planning, pets, cleaning, editing, the dotting our i's and crossing our t's stuff, you get the idea.

TODAY is all about Venus (love, money, values, beauty, women, resources, self-esteem) and Jupiter (expansion, optimism, the kind of luck that comes from feeling lucky) meeting at 16 degrees Sagittarius.

You gotta ask yourself - do you feel lucky?

To get lucky in Sagittarius - and this transit has added oomph because this is happening in Jupiter's home sign - we need to be optimistic.  

We need to be reaching for something outside our comfort zone.

This isn't about more of the same old same old. Venus in Sag has one eye on the distant horizon anyway. She has faith in it. That green grass over there. No, way over there - she wants some of that.

Watch for an opportunity - within your Sagittarius house - that involves a leap of faith.

The other BIG news now is we have Mercury (communication, news, information) meeting the South Node (ending, finalizing, the past) in serious Capricorn.

This could be connected to the Venus/Jupiter attraction/expansion or something else and keep in mind just because these aspects are exact today we might not experience this today.

Mercury/South Node speaks of information from the past or carried by someone from our past (or something/someone familiar).  

There could be information that finalizes something/lays something to rest. That was then. This is now.

Something (conversation/information/official paperwork) clarifies where we stand.

There is a line in the sand, an ending, a powerful good-bye.

Both of today's powerful conjunctions were in play during the Eclipse. And time is extra tricky around eclipses - so this might have already happened.

Today's Leo Moon's trine to Jupiter hasn't already happened though and that is magnanimous and "lucky" all on its own.

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 ...
