Mars Trine Jupiter, Ceres Into Sagittarius | just START, the braver we are the luckier we get, life is helping us get out of the things that no longer make sense, moving from grief to hopefulness, support for caregivers and nurturers, time to find a way through

Today we have Mars (in Aries) trining Jupiter (in Sag) at 16 degrees. Mars - our passion, initiative, how we go about getting what we want - in fiery Aries (his home sign) is the ultimate energy to START. Trining (brakes off) our lucky and abundant Jupiter - another powerhouse in his home sign - tells us it is the time to get something GOING.

Be brave!

The waxing Libra Moon (the Moon moved into Libra last night at 11:02PM EST) and the Aquarius Sun are trining, too. This is great energy for collaboration, cooperative ventures, taking action within a group or in a public setting. Promotion. BOLD communication.

Whatever it is - do you know the themes of your natal Sagittarius and Aries houses? It's a GO.
 
Mars will give us the courage to try and the trines will allow the right energies to fall into place smoothly.

There is no beating our head against the wall with this one.

The only fly in today's ointment is the Moon squaring Saturn late in the evening. This could have us butting heads with authority/limits/time or forecast tension between our partners/partnerships and our goals/career.

Another positive today, and this one is long-lasting, is Ceres (who is set to play a big role in January 2020's meeting of Saturn/Pluto - energies in play now) is coming up from the depths of the Plutonian realm of Scorpio and flying into the blue skies of Sagittarius.

Life has been trying to help us get out of the things that no longer make sense. We are creatures that are literally created from a craving for what is familiar. It is hard to let go.

We are like, "sure I can get rid of things/beliefs/situations/people .. oh wait, THAT?, no, I don't want to get rid of THAT!"

Ceres out of the underworld will help.

It is not about forgetting - our loss/lack of control - but now able to get to a loftier perch we can see the big picture or maybe a glimpse of those bluer skies available to us in the days, weeks and months ahead.

Ceres out of Scorpio and into more optimistic Sag is good news for caretakers and nurturers.

Ceres will be in Sagittarius (including her retrograde) until the middle of November. This is good news for our Ceres storylines - lack of control especially involving losses, cycle of life changes, nurturing, loss of beloved pets and loved ones. We can feel better.  The first step is wanting to feel better. We can have faith that things are falling into place even in the times they look like they are just falling apart. Bigger hands than ours have got this thing.

Jupiter is the sign of faith and we have the great gift this year of Jupiter in his home sign. Faith truly can move mountains. 

Mercury is finally in a friendly air sign. Ceres is out of Scorpio. Mars is playing nicely with Jupiter and Mars won't be in Aries for long folks, we better get MOVING.

Saturn is moving into a sextile with Neptune next week

(remember in 2016 when we only had Saturn/Neptune squares that seemed to erode what was genuine/all hope of things just being normal and ordinary, we couldn't tell what was real - well in 2019, we are getting the opportunistic sextiles - the spaces where reality and our dreams can come together! the disillusionment and surreality of the past leading us to some solid understandings).

Yes, there are challenges ahead. There are always challenges.

But, things are looking up today. We can be, too. Lift your head. Have courage. Find a way through.

Mercury into Aquarius thru February 10th | the conversation changes, our thinking shifts, seeing situations from a less emotional perch, don't look backward you aren't going that way

Mercury (our thinking, information, communication) FINALLY gets into an air sign today with his/her move into detached and future-focused Aquarius.

Yes, it's fixed air, so people are not always flexible, but at least we've got some air!

One less planet in cardinal Capricorn and, now, without the South Node in Aquarius - detachment can be our friend. We step back. We view our situation from an observer position.

Does what we are saying/signing/thinking/writing MAKE SENSE?!

Some people think Aquarius represents independence (Aries), but more accurately Aquarius represents individuality. Think about it. There is an independent spirit here, yes, but since Aquarius rules the 11th house of groups, it shows people bound together by a cause. So, in Aquarius we find a better way to work together so it benefits everyone or else we go our own way.

These are the only two outcomes for Aquarius. Aquarius is the space in your chart where it's never going to work to follow the crowd just for the sake of fitting in, you will always have to do things differently. Our rough, uncomfortable rebel edges are there for a reason.

So, three things happen when Mercury changes signs.

Mercury changes (the conversation changes, our thinking changes, we are more innovative, we can detach emotionally from our thoughts, there is more air in this room so maybe we can breathe easier). The house Mercury exits changes (Cappy house slows/relaxes a tiny bit). The house Mercury enters changes (Aquarius house - roused by the Sun just a couple days ago - gets busy).

Poor Mercury has been through hell these last few months - and now I am going to write a disclaimer before I go any further because my natal Mercury has been dealing with transitting Pluto (can we deal with Pluto? I think maybe not, Pluto simply deals with us and we survive it ... or we don't) - exact now for the third time within the last two years, with two passes to go - I am far from thinking straight. Plutonic transformations are incredibly painful and challenging. When Pluto combines with another planet, he hides that planet's influence from us. That paradigm becomes a blind spot. Mercury is tricky (and he is the trickster, so eternally tricky) for me to clearly see my way to these days, so keep that in mind when I write about him/her. On the other hand I could be seeing things clearer. I am zeroed in here (on the stuff I can no longer see) like a laser beam. It's difficult to explain. Perhaps like breathing we can only get truly focused on this stuff when we are drowning.

OK - back to our collective Mercury energy.

In just the last few months he has had to walk through Scorpio - the spaces Venus, retrograde in Scorpio, had dropped her landmines, then flew up into Sagittarius - where Mercury, the ruler of Sag's polarity sign Gemini, is debilitated. And in Sagittarius, she had to meet up with Jupiter and do their annual forest vs the trees thing, but this year Jupiter, in his home sign was uber strong, so the trees got lost. Then she went retrograde squaring dreamy/foggy Neptune, not fun for Mercury who just wants facts and details and to keep moving forward. How do we make decisions? How do we make plans? How do we know what the hell is going on? Then Mercury finally gets out of Sag and into Capricorn and immediately runs right into Saturn. A limit. A wall. A "no". A delay. And then he had to deal with the Eclipse cycle and square the planets in cardinal signs like Chiron and Mars and Uranus and then last week she had to meet up with Pluto.

Airy Aquarius will be better.

This isn't going to last long though - only until February 10th - because next stop is Pisces (this is our brain on drugs) and he is going to get all the way to the very end of Pisces and then station retrograde, the day before Uranus gets back into Taurus and Mars will be in Taurus, too. Unless you are over 84 years old and maybe not even then, we have not had Uranus and Mars both in Taurus at the same time. And Mercury will be retrograde ... in Pisces. March is going to be cray-cray.

For now though, we have all the energies moving ahead. We have multiple planets in their home signs. And now we have Mercury very happy to finally get into an air sign where he can be himself!

We can see the information we need to see from a more detached space. Say what needs to be said. Hear what we couldn't hear before when maybe the words triggered us too much emotionally. We get more logical. Also more innovative. The facts will be presented in a more cold and clear fashion, but at least we know they are facts.

Mercury in Aquarius is about clear-headed, dispassionate thinking focused on the future. Its clarity comes from the space that is generated from detachment. We mentally step back a little bit and the pictures in our head get a little clearer, our words a little more sharp. She can also focus us on what "the crowd" is doing. Not only so Aquarius can join in (if she wants to), but also so she, as we, can think about what the crowd hasn't thought about yet!

Aquarius is fixed air, so people will still dig into their positions, but we will all be subject to flashes of pure genius.

Aquarius rules the collective. It's time to get out and talk to people. Aquarius wants most of all to advance, so HERE WE GO.

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.

ARIES/ Aries Rising (and this is about our collective 9th house/Sag's home house so applies to all of us, too!) - the planet of attraction and the planet of expansion are meeting in your 9th house of travel, higher education, weddings, politics, legal issues, the media, publishing, foreigners, everything outside your comfort zone, exploration, your beliefs and higher thinking.

You are attracting expansion here. Stay positive. Stretch yourself.

AQUARIUS/ Aquarius Rising - the planet of attraction and the planet of expansion are meeting in your 11th house of the collective - your friendships, groups, causes, the internet, the public, the goals that bring you into relationship with other people, your advancement, technology. You are attracting expansion here. Stay positive. Stretch yourself.

PISCES/ Pisces Rising - the planet of attraction and the planet of expansion are meeting in your 10th house of your career, your calling, your achievements, your achievement goals, dad, business, authority, responsibility. You are attracting expansion here. Stay positive. Stretch yourself.

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 ...

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 .....

Full Moon, Super Moon Lunar Eclipse in Leo | January 20-21, 2019 - the wall, patience, major endings, an unexpected change of direction, a female leaves the table, raising our vision over that wall, the final leg of that 'following our heart" thingie which might come from what feels like the other legs being kicked out from under us

Let's step back and look at the big picture - we are living under the drumbeat of Saturn (the patriarchy, the "man", the establishment, that someone/something who knows better than us and keeps us safe) walking the Green Mile toward Pluto (death/transformation).

That shaking ground is real.

Saturn is going to get all the way to 20 degrees Capricorn (this April) then station retrograde. It will be January 2020 before he finally reaches Pluto (22 degrees Capricorn). Checkmate.

But the chapter where Saturn (as us) is called to cash in his chips - has already started. 

(Saturn's changes are happening in the metaphysical realm but also in the physical world. I wasn't too surprised to find THIS article just a couple weeks ago)

This is the evolution of consciousness and it sounds like a very big deal because it is a very big deal.

Not long ago we lived in a world comfortably made up of things - like protons and electrons and leather reclining chairs and now we live in a startlingly more uncomfortable world - because comfort comes from familiarity - made up of energy - that creates stuff like protons and electrons and leather reclining chairs and people and then goes back to being energy again AND this energy cannot be destroyed and most importantly - what this energy does is totally dependent on who is observing it.

We see things differently because we actually see different things.

(and I'm not talking Facebook, but yes, one billion of us on Facebook is part of this - as above so below, thoughts become things, etc)

Cue the shaking ground.

Our quantum paradigm has changed everything. The world shifted as soon as someone figured out the world didn't really work the way we thought it did and once one person knew/remembered WE ALL DID.

And we might not know we know, but just had a thought like "what the hell is really going on here? what the hell is true?". 

When Kelly-Anne Conway coined the term "alternative facts" on January 22, 2017 (yes, almost exactly two years before this eclipse and yes, I am quoting Kelly-Anne Conway now, WTH people!!) - she didn't know the "truth" of what she was saying. It wasn't actually her boss, the former reality tv-show host that killed reality (again the whole as above so below thing), but it might feel like he did. Getting rid of Trump isn't going to flip us all back to one-reality though!

People are uncalibrating all over the place. No one knows what to believe anymore.

The one-reality world has gone/is going bye-bye and it will make us totally insane to try and hold onto it. It served us well for a while as a way to stay safe, but now that need for other people "to see/believe/experience things the same way we do" is chewing us up and spitting us out.

Our world being shaped by the observer means that we truly are all living in different worlds; worlds that we are co-creating as we go along.

The time when we looked for someone over us to explain it all to us is ending.

At the same time it is not our job any longer to convince anybody of anything.

We can share what we think/believe. We can be inspired by what they think/believe (or triggered if we want to stay playing a losing game, which to a greater or lesser extent we are all still playing). But if we are still searching after some kind of absolute something, some kind of pecking order of truth where one fact/belief is more important or more true than another fact/belief we are barking up a tree that was long ago chopped down to build a pedestal someone is about to fall from.

We have no clear idea of what this is all going to look like, this world without the structures and pedestals and beliefs (in government, in religion, in hierarchies), we have depended on to keep us safe (that have also been keeping us stuck) because we are co-creating this whole thing as we go along!

We have to work the process.

This eclipse (a culmination event from our journey of the last two years) - is part of that process. So, let's take a look at it.

The Sun (at 0 degrees Aquarius) opposes the Moon (at 0 degrees Leo) at 12:15AM EST on January 21st (which is Monday, but this is really late Sunday night). So close to the Nodes of the Moon this is a Lunar Eclipse so close to the Earth, this is a Super Moon Lunar Eclipse.

Full Moons are times of fullness. Stuff reaches a culmination, a peak, an ending. Eclipses eclipse things out of our life or out of our way. Lunar eclipses sometimes denote the loss of a female energy - a nurturing energy or an actual female person or animal. And like every ending, the Full Moon Lunar eclipse is also a time of beginning - and zero degrees Leo means an especially fresh, especially heart-centered start for any new beginning. Keep in mind the timing of eclipse events is tricky because eclipses work backward as well as forward. I often see events one month before or after, give or take a day or two, or one week before or after, again give or take a day or two. Lunar Eclipses give the Full Moon chart added oomph and added staying power allowing the energies to play out over 18 months instead of the usual six.

With this Full Moon, the Sun and Moon (and North and South Nodes) are squaring Uranus - the planet of fast change, chaos, the future. With the Moon in Leo, the Sun (ruler of Leo) rules the Eclipse and with the Sun in Aquarius (answering to Uranus and Saturn) that T-Square to Uranus is even more powerful. Saturn is strong and home in Capricorn and exactly squaring Mars, strong and home in Aries. Venus and Jupiter (strong in Sagittarius) are conjunct (exact next week) and sextiling Saturn and trining Mars - they are our golden ticket here. And of course, because the golden ticket always comes with a bit of a "buyer beware" (that fly in the ointment thing) the chocolate bar it is wrapped around good for cavities and sugar headaches, I guess - the good stuff is squaring dreamy Neptune. Most of Pluto's stuff is pretty wide, but he is conjunct Mercury - this is the deep truth, unearthing/merging/purging/financial/death stuff we have been talking about this week.

This is alot to unpack and my head is still clogged with a head cold/sinusy/flu thing, but we will give it a go.

Saturn/Mars speaks of the need for patience. Something is slowing us down - maybe the rules are not permitting something or the document isn't signed correctly. Whatever we are trying to get moving is stopped or slowed. No point going all cray-cray about it. Cooler heads will prevail, so be one of those. With Mars/Saturn both strong in their home signs - any battle - crisis/tension - will be won by Saturn (yes, he's on a death march, but he ain't dead/transformed just yet). Saturn wins here. The rules are enforced. The document must be notarized. Pushing only gets us a sore back. You get the idea. Time is on our side.

That square to Uranus speak of pressure/chaos - fast change, something unexpected. I know this seems like the opposite of "time is on our side", but really it isn't. The T-square is moving us into a possible change of direction. In March, Uranus is going to square this eclipse Sun, so something happening now will connect to that time period.


The Venus/Jupiter conjunction that trines (brakes off) and sextiles (opportunity) Mars and Saturn is our golden ticket/escape clause here. In Sagittarius luck is on our side here. That sextile to karmic Saturn from the mountaintops of Sag makes me think we win by seeing our situation from a loftier perch. From a wider/higher perspective. We know why what is happening is happening.

Maybe the real opportunity (sextile to stable Saturn) luck/expansion (Jupiter) and attraction (Venus) comes from a fast change (Uranus) in our perspective/beliefs. Or some other Sagittarian thingie done quickly - a fast trip, an out-of-the-blue instruction, a conversation with a foreigner, a visit to a church, a wedding (a quickie wedding? I don't know!), something optimistic and stretchy!

Keep in mind our benefics are both squaring Neptune - remember the Jupiter/Neptune square in play for most of 2019 - making for excellent manifestation potential, Neptune adds magic, but also the potential for things to appear better than they actually are/delusional. Avoid excessive anything. Don't overspend. Don't over invest any part of yourself in anything too pie in the sky.

If this eclipse is hitting your chart you are already feeling it or about to be and it is BIG.

The bottom line though is that this is the last of the Leo eclipses - following our heart, taking the center stage of our own life, creating something we can be proud of, taking care of the children/our inner child, the tender romance, the theme of our Leo house. Something here is being impacted. Mars/Saturn usually indicates hard work (maybe also cruelty, so be careful with your personal safety now, too), but also that our actions (Mars) can amount to something real (Saturn).

xo all

I would say don't forget to get out and walk in it, but eclipses are powerful, so I will leave that up to you - do make some space for it (maybe appease/barter with the 'eclipse something out' part) by giving something away.
