Astrology Forecast for the Week of January 17, 2022 through January 23, 2022

Leave a reply

The astrology forecast for the week of January 17, 2022 through January 23, 2022 features a Full Moon in Cancer, Uranus stationing direct in Taurus, a Sun-Mercury conjunction, and the end of Capricorn as we usher in Aquarius season.

There is not much planetary action this week, so let’s dive in.

Cosmic Overview

The Full Moon occurs in Cancer this week at 6:48 PM EST/3:48 PM PST. This Full Moon is potent because it opposes Pluto in Capricorn. The Full Moon opposing Pluto can bring up toxic familial drama or emotional situations where you have lost your power to deal with them internally or externally. Full Moons are emotionally intense, but this one is off the chain. So, get prepared!

Astro Magic Pro Tip:

Cancer Full Moons are an auspicious time to work through family of origin issues or to let go of emotional pain and hurts. It’s also an excellent time for healing work and ridding yourself of health issues. So, if you need to let go of something emotional, this is the Full Moon to get it done, once and for all.

Daily Breakdown

Monday, January 17, 2022

The Moon moves through emotional Cancer and opposes Pluto in Capricorn. The Moon is our need for security, and opposed to Pluto, we feel anything but secure. Since an opposition is an aspect that propels us to deal with things, this could lead to tense encounters and power plays. Try to work towards compromises, rather than worsen matters.

Tuesday, January 18, 2022

The Moon moves through tenaciously stubborn Leo and opposes Mercury Rx and squares Uranus. Communication issues with others may be a factor throughout the day. Try to learn about others’ differences rather than simply react to them. This evening, expect the unexpected as the Moon squares Uranus.

Wednesday, January 19, 2022

Wednesday is the first day of Aquarius season, and it’s time to focus on what we can do to make our lives better. The sign of Aquarius helps us think outside the box and develop strategies that will help improve the quality of our lives. Also, over the next month, you may experience a bit of cabin fever and get the urge to socialize with friends and associates.,

Thursday, January 20, 2022

The Moon moves through dutiful Virgo and aspects Jupiter. Therefore, the tone for the day should be optimistic. Focus on tying up loose ends and clearing tasks off your to-do list. Since Mercury, the ruler of Virgo is retrograde, you may receive information that you can use to your advantage once Mercury turns direct in February.

Friday, January 21, 2022

The Moon continues to move through Virgo and trines Venus retrograde and Uranus in Taurus, forming a lucky grand trine. It’s a great day to look at your problem areas and approach them differently. If you need to make changes in your life, this grand trine can help you get optimal results.

Saturday, January 22, 2022

The Moon spends its last day in productive Virgo, before moving into Libra later this afternoon. It’s the perfect day to get things done, so focus on important matters. Also, if you are in a relationship, a little love and romance may fill up your evening hours.

Sunday, January 23, 2022

The Sun conjoins Mercury Rx in Aquarius. This conjunction is the halfway point of the Mercury retrograde cycle. It’s an auspicious day for self-reflection and inner examination. Insights you receive today may have long-term results.

See you next week!

The Astrology Forecast for the Week of January 10, 2022 – January 16, 2022

Leave a reply

The astrology forecast for the week of January 10, 2022 through January 16, 2022 features three major aspects (Sun trine Neptune, Mars square Neptune, and the Sun conjoined to Pluto) and Mercury turns retrograde in Aquarius.

So, with all the Neptunian energy and with the inclusion of Mercury retrograde, make sure you verify everything before making decisions, because the truth may be elusive and hard to grasp.

Let’s dive into the forecast!

Cosmic Overview:

This week, Mercury joins the love goddess (Venus) by turning retrograde in Aquarius on Friday morning. Mercury will remain retrograde until February 3, 2022.

At its root, the sign of Aquarius is about how we can improve our lives.  Aquarius is about progress and pushing society forward, rather than staying stuck in the present or being bound to the past. Mercury moving through Aquarius augurs a time when we should focus on areas where we can improve our lives or focus on what needs to be fixed or repaired. Mercury turning retrograde in Aquarius helps us look at the decisions and choices we have made over the past three months that may be preventing our growth. This gives us the chance to course correct if necessary.  The silver lining is that with Mercury being retrograde, we can see the areas that need to be fixed easier.

Mercury retrogrades before it can complete its conjunction to Saturn, but it will remain within orb for the next week. Mercury conjoined to Saturn is frustrating and can lead to negative mindsets. It may be difficult to communicate and express yourself to others. So, try to push away negative thoughts as they surface, and you may need to practice some self-care to manage your emotions.

Otherwise, traditional Mercury retrograde warnings are applicable.  Make sure you back up electronic devices, finalize plans, and sign documents before the retrograde begins. Here is a checklist to help you during the retrograde cycle.

Mercury Rx Dirty Dozen! Tips and Tricks to Wrangling the Trickster God

Let’s begin with the recommendations (Notice I didn’t use the lists of should or should not?  Mainly because we should never should on ourselves).

  1. Make sure you go over anything contractual thoroughly.  Make sure all the i’s are dotted, and all the t’s are crossed. If you can get away with it, wait until after the retrograde is over to sign on the dotted line. 
  2. Avoid starting anything new.  New projects tend to have communication problems and mishaps when initiated during this process.
  3. Put a watch on your tongue.  (If it is not worth saying, don’t say it)
  4. Check your vehicles for any potential problems.  Before Mercury goes retrograde is the best time for a service call.
  5. Avoid buying real estate or renting apartments.  Usually, this means you are just going to move again during a future Mercury Rx.
  6. Using mail delivery services that offer tracking and insurance.
  7. Check, recheck, and check again any travel plans you have or appointments that are on the books.
  8. If you do travel, don’t take anything of importance or value. Only bring items that you do not care if they are lost or stolen.
  9. Expect people from the past to resurface.  However, once they do crawl out of whatever cavern they came from, proceed with caution.
  10. Back up all electronic devices.
  11. Avoid buying an automobile. 
  12. Mercury Rx is an excellent time to scour places (online and offline) for great deals!

Now, that is some list.  But, if you want to avoid the most annoying tricks Mercury has up his sleeve, it is wise to pay close attention and organize (Mercury loves that word) accordingly.

Daily Breakdown:

Monday, January 10, 2022

We start the week off with the Sun forming a lovely sextile to Neptune in Pisces. You will find that you are more receptive to the needs of others, and willing to help the unfortunate when possible.  Also, friends may lean on you for emotional support.  However, you may need to wear a garlic necklace to repel emotional vampires.

Tuesday, January 11, 2022

Mars forms a difficult square to Neptune. Your energy levels will be low, which may dampen your spirits and attempt to put out your flame. For many, Mars square Neptune provokes feelings of doubt, and you may feel ineffective dealing with your daily challenges. Avoid any form of underhanded or deceptive behavior.  Regardless of your motives, it will lead to blow back and consequences.

Wednesday, January 12, 2022

After the tricky and self-defeating energies on Tuesday, Wednesday brings us the Moon moving through earthy Taurus – the sign of her exaltation. It’s an excellent day to do self-care and tend to your personal needs. You may want to spend some time relaxing or engaging in pleasurable activities. Treat yourself to something you enjoy.

Thursday, January 13, 2022

The Moon spends its first full day in mercurial Gemini and forms a lovely trine to the trickster god. Since Mercury turns retrograde tomorrow, make sure you back up your computer and electronic devices. Also, sign documents and have any conversation that needs to be handled before it’s less advantageous to do so. This evening is an excellent time to socialize and spend time with family and friends.

Friday, January 14, 2022

As if Mercury Rx (yes, that starts today) is not enough befuddlement for the day, the Moon in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces. The Moon square Neptune is extremely confusing, and you need to check and verify everything before believing it as the truth. Be careful of your intuitive hunches, because they may be influenced by fears and paranoias rather than spirit.

Saturday, January 15, 2022

The Moon moves into Cancer during the morning hours and forms a trine to lucky Jupiter. It should be a positive day that is relaxing, and fun filled. So, kick back and do things you enjoy, and take a break from your usual routine. Since the Moon is in Cancer, it’s also an auspicious day to do some redecorating or do something to beautify your home.

Sunday, January 16, 2022

We close the week with the Sun conjoining transformative Pluto in Capricorn. Sometimes, to stand in your power, you have to dig deep. This can bring up uncomfortable feelings or reveal inner truths that may be unsettling and difficult to face. However, slaying your inner demons can help you level up.

See you next week!

Astrology Forecast For the week of January 3, 2022 – January 9, 2022

Leave a reply

The astrology forecast for the week of January 3, 2022 through January 9, 2022 features only two (yes, you read that right) astrological aspects – Venus Rx sextile Neptune and the Sun conjunct Venus Rx.

So, it’s going to be a light week in the cosmos, and since Venus is the only planet making aspects, let’s dive into the daily breakdown.

Daily Breakdown

Monday, January 3, 2022

It’s not surprising that we return from the holiday season, and the Moon is making its monthly trip through Capricorn. It’s an excellent day to hit the ground running and focus on your objectives by getting things done.  Since we are still in the sign of the New Moon, you still have time to set your intentions for the New Year before the Moon moves into Aquarius on Monday afternoon.

Tuesday, January 4, 2022

The Moon moves through Aquarius and conjoins Saturn and squares Uranus.  Unexpected situations may leave you rattled and throw a monkey wrench into your day. This could ultimately affect your mood and lead to periods of self-doubt. Push past negative thoughts and stay focused on your game plan.

Wednesday, January 5, 2022

On Wednesday, we have our first Venusian aspect of the week, as Venus Rx sextiles Neptune in Pisces. Venus sextile Neptune is an easy aspect, especially if you are looking for a little romance in your relationships. It’s an excellent day to focus on your partners needs and use this helpful energy to connect on a deeper level. If you’ve been going through relationship frustrations because of the retrograde, this is an auspicious time to work through your issues, because Neptune will help minimize your (and your partners) ego.

Thursday, January 6, 2022

The Moon moves through Pisces and forms lovely sextiles to Uranus and the Sun. It’s an excellent day to step away from the daily grind and do something fun and exciting with your tribe. In fact, unexpected opportunities may come out of your social and professional connections. Also, watch out for new people on the scene, they may inspire and invigorate you.

Friday, January 7, 2022

The Moon continues its trek through Pisces and conjoins Neptune. Communication with others will be challenging, because it will be hard to stay focused on mundane matters. Focus on issues that matter, and leave the heavy lifting for another day. Moreover, you will be sensitive to the moods of others. So, it may be best to stay away from negative people, or they may impact your mood or try to suck out your soul.

Saturday, January 8, 2022

The Sun conjoins Venus Rx in Capricorn. The Sun and Venus will bring out your social urges, and if you are in a relationship, it’s a great day to spend time with your partner. However, since the love goddess (Venus) is retrograde, it’s the perfect time to focus on the areas of your relationship that need improvement. If you need to have a difficult conversation, now is the time, because it will be easier to reach a mutually beneficial agreement.

Sunday, January 9, 2022

We close the week with the Moon moving through energetic Aries. It’s a perfect day to get things done, especially projects that need extra gumption. Later in the day, the Moon applies to a square to Pluto in Capricorn. Avoid people who are power hungry or like to control everything.

See you next week!

Astrology Forecast for the Week of December 20, 2021 – December 26, 2021

Yule log chocolate cake with chocolate frosting for Christmas

The astrology forecast for the week of December 20, 2021 thru December 26, 2021 features four major aspects (Mercury trine Uranus, Saturn square Uranus, Venus Rx conjunct Pluto, and Mercury sextile Neptune) and the beginning of Capricorn season.

Since a lot is going on, let’s get on with the show.

Cosmic Overview

The cosmic overview’s focus is something we have covered for the past year – Saturn square Uranus.

This week we have the final showdown between Saturn and Uranus. But keep in mind that planetary aspects have orbs, and Saturn square Uranus will continue to be active throughout 2022. However, they will never reach an exact aspect again until 2032, when they will conjoin in late Gemini.

In astrology, Saturn symbolizes the structures in our lives, whether that be the government, our careers, or our station in life. Saturn seeks stability, so he likes to hold onto things and doesn’t like change. On the other hand, Uranus likes progress, is rebellious, and likes to shake up the system. He finds the ‘establishment’ boring and, at its worst, corrupt. Since this aspect is a square, there is enormous tension between these two planets.  If you lean towards the Saturn side of the square, change can be seen as suspect, disruptive, and chaotic. If you lean towards Uranus, you will see structure as limiting, restrictive, and only concerned with the selfish need to hold onto power and authority.

So, this gives you a whiff of the reason why the political landscape is currently so toxic!

Working with this aspect is not easy. It’s tough work, and it requires a lot of reflection and honesty. So naturally, based on our personal charts, we will gravitate to one side of the aspect or the other.  However, the way to work with Saturn square Uranus proactively is to look at the areas of your life that need change and devise a plan to enact those changes in a way that you feel comfortable. A quick way to look at what needs to change is to look at the houses Saturn and Uranus are transiting in your chart. Here is a cheat sheet that will help you with the keywords. 

Just remember, the more you work with the planets, the easier they are to manage. It’s when you deny giving them attention and pretend they do not exist; they become troublesome.

Now, on with the forecast…

Daily Breakdown

Monday, December 20, 2021

We start the week with a beneficial trine between Mercury in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus. It’s an excellent day to think outside the box and develop new solutions to old problems.  You will find your intuition increased, which will help you make decisions. New ideas will be tantalizing and may lead you down a new path of discovery.

Tuesday, December 21, 2021

Happy Yule! On Tuesday, we leave Sagittarius behind and settle into the season of the sea-goat. Capricorn is a cardinal sign that likes to make things happen. So, it’s not surprising that we make New Year’s resolutions or start new things during Capricorn season. To put it more simply, Capricorn season is about taking care of business (personal and professional), and to achieve a prosperous New Year, you must plant the seeds.  Just make sure what you plant will be fruitful.

Wednesday, December 22, 2021

The Moon spends its first full day in fiery Leo. During the morning hours, the Moon trines Mars, and if used correctly, this will give you a much-needed energy boost. However, expect frustrations and unexpected surprises during the afternoon as the Moon activates the upcoming square between Saturn and Uranus. Be proactive, not reactive.

Thursday, December 23, 2021

The Moon continues its trek through Leo, and you may need a ‘do you’ day before the holiday madness begins.  So, have a bit of fun and enjoy yourself. Also, a bit of pampering and self-care never hurt anyone.

Friday, December 24, 2021

Besides Saturn squaring Uranus (see above), the Moon moves into diligent Virgo during the early morning hours.  The Moon forms a lovely trine to the Sun in Capricorn, which is a harmonious aspect for getting things done.  However, get all your holiday shopping and chores done as early as possible, because this evening the Moon squares discordant Mars.

Saturday, December 25, 2021

Merry Christmas to all that celebrate!

I feel like the Grinch that stole Christmas, because the cosmic energy is problematic and tense. Today, Venus retrograde conjoins Pluto in Capricorn. Relationships that are strained may experience the brunt of this aspect, because Venus conjunct Pluto signifies the need for change in relationships. Your emotions may be intense, and you may need to manage them cautiously. Moreover, ignoring relationship problems out of fear of change could lead to further complications. Avoid manipulation tactics even if you feel justified.

Sunday, December 26, 2021

We close the week with a harmonious sextile between Mercury in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces.  After an intense holiday, you may need a break to get in touch with your personal thoughts and feelings, and Mercury sextile Neptune can provide deep insight and understanding. If need be, go to your quiet place and listen to your gut; it will not misguide you.

See you next week!

Cosmic Weather Forecast – January 14, 2019 – January 20, 2019

This week, two dominant themes become active, and people’s frustration meters will go through the roof as Venus squares confusing Neptune and Mars square limiting Saturn. So, you may want to clutch your pearls because things are about to get real. VERY REAL!

Capricorn energy remains dominant throughout the week, which is beneficial for business and career opportunities. Since we are still in the New Moon cycle, new opportunities could prove fruitful and you should take advantage of them.  However, this week will be a roller-coaster for relationships. If your relationship is not grounded (in reality) and based on unrealistic expectations, you may feel frustrated, depressed, and dismayed when Venus squares Neptune.  In fact, many relationships may end because Mars square Saturn will leave you feeling like you are driving with the breaks on and leads to reactive behavior.  If your relationship goes through struggles, it’s a good time to do a reality check to make sure that the relationship is aligned with your values and personal desires.  If it’s not, you may need to deal with these issues before your relationship can move forward.

In other cosmic news, Jupiter in Sagittarius dominates this week’s energy.  Despite everything happening in your life, you need to keep your big picture objectives in mind and continue to strive to achieve them.

Now, on with the forecast…

Cosmic Weather Forecast – December 17 – December 23, 2018

So, last week we had only one astrological aspect, and this week we have a cosmic stampede with four aspects and the beginning of Capricorn season.

Once again, Jupiter is the week’s major planet.  Jupiter is our inner optimism planet and since he is concerned with potentials and possibilities, the best way to work with this week’s energy is doing goal and intention work.  So, spend some time this week focusing on what you would like to achieve next year, just make sure that your goals are realistic, achievable, and that you are willing to put forth the effort to make them happen.

Later in the week, we enter Capricorn season.  The expansive energies of Sagittarius enter the world of reality, which can often feel dense, and at times, depressing.  However, Capricorn rewards you if you endure the hardships of life that make you stronger and more reliant, but to receive those rewards, we first need to accept personal responsibility for the bulk of our actions.  The good news is that once we can see that our actions lead to our successes and failures, we can begin to make new decisions that get us the results we desire.  It may take time, patience, grit, and determination, but under the sign of Capricorn, anything is possible, as long you put forth the work to achieve it.

Now, on with the forecast…
