Monday is kind of Mondayish.  

Tuesday 01/23:

• ☽ at 05° 28‘ Cancer △ ♄ at 05° 28‘ Pisces | 3:14 am eastern
• ♀︎ ▻ Capricorn | 3:50 am eastern
• ☽ at 06° 30‘ Cancer ✳ ♃ at 06° 30‘ Taurus | 5:12 am eastern
• ☽ at 12° 04‘ Cancer ☍ ☿ at 12° 04‘ Capricorn | 3:53 pm eastern
• ☽ at 14° 36‘ Cancer ☍ ♂︎ at 14° 36‘ Capricorn  | 8:44 pm eastern 

Tuesday is largely productive but there may be some miscommunication or tension that develops towards the end of the day and into the evening. 

But the big news today is that Venus is moving into Capricorn at 3:50 am eastern where she will be until February 16. 

While Venus is in Capricorn you may find you (and those around you) are likely to have a more pragmatic, responsible, or even cautious approach to love and financial matters, favoring long-term stability over short-term gratification. 

On the positive side, it can lead to the formation of enduring bonds and investments that are well-considered and reliable. However, the downside might include a tendency to be overly reserved or skeptical in matters of the heart, possibly leading to missed opportunities for emotional connections. Balancing this pragmatic approach with a recognition of the emotional needs in relationships and personal enjoyment will be important during this time.

Don’t forget, Venus has fairy godmother energy so look at the house she will be in and consider how that might show up for those topics.

• Aries Rising: Venus in the tenth house can enhance your public image and professional relationships, possibly bringing favorable recognition.
• Taurus Rising: With Venus visiting your ninth house you may suddenly feel more inspired to travel or to spend time expanding your worldview. 
• Gemini Rising: Venus visiting the eighth house can make it easier to deal with topics such as inheritance, taxes, debt, shared resources or help navigate relationships related to these topics (like finding the right loan or accountant!).
• Cancer Rising: Venus moving into the seventh house can improve romantic and business partnerships or provide new goals in these areas.
• Leo Rising: Venus in the sixth house can make work relationships more pleasant and can provide a glow up to health matters and obligations.
• Virgo Rising: When Venus makes her way through your fifth house, you can expect more romance, creativity, and pleasure or an increased (pleasant) focus on children.
• Libra Rising: With Venus visiting your fourth house, relationships with family could become more equitable and you may have an increased desire to turn your home into an oasis. 
• Scorpio Rising: Venus in the third house enhances communication, making it easier to get your point across and may also enhance relationships with siblings and neighbors.
• Sagittarius Rising: Having Venus in the 2nd house can bring a focus on financial gain, the acquisition of valuable items, or an increased appreciation for personal possessions
• Capricorn Rising: With Venus visiting your first house,  you become the belle of the ball and more personally magnetic. 
• Aquarius Rising: As Venus moves through your twelfth house you may find that women, self care, and love are a bit more challenging but it’s a great time to figure out how to give your spiritual, psychological, and emotional well-being routines a makeover.
• Pisces Rising: As  Venus moves through your eleventh house social interactions with groups, masterminds, and mentors may increase and be more enjoyable.

Wednesday 01/24

• ☽ at 19° 05‘ Cancer ✳ ♅ at 19° 05‘ Taurus | 5:23 am eastern
• ☽ at 25° 34‘ Cancer △ ♆ at 25° 34‘ Pisces  | 5:58 pm eastern

Wednesday is perfect for thinking outside of the box and dreaming up new possibilities. 

Thursday 01/25

• ☽ ▻ Leo | 2:36 am eastern
• ☽ at 00° 08‘ Leo ☍ ♇ at 00° 08‘ Aquarius | 2:52 am eastern
• Leo 🌕 Full Moon | 12:53 am eastern
• ☽ at 05° 14‘ Leo  ☍ ☉ 05° 14‘ Aquarius
• ☽ at 06° 42‘ Leo □ ♃ at 06° 42‘ Taurus | 3:46 pm eastern

Thursday is all about the Leo Full Moon. 

This is an intense and transformational Full Moon that can bring significant emotional revelations and changes as it involves both Jupiter and Pluto.

PSA: Intense and transformational are not objectively bad, challenging, or something to be scared of. Roller coasters, bungee jumping, and running a marathon are intense and people do them for fun. Growing plants, baking bread, and renovating a house are all transformational activities that people voluntarily do. I’m not promising it’ll be the fun kind of transformation and intensity but I’m for sure not saying beware all ye who enter here ;) 

As I was saying…

You may find yourself at a crossroads of significant personal transformation. The presence of the Sun still conjunct Pluto suggests a period where deep, underlying changes in your (Aquarius area of)  life are coming to light, particularly involving your sense of self and how you exert control in various situations.

The Full Moon's opposition to these energies in Leo indicates a tug-of-war between your need for self-assertion and these profound changes, possibly leading to moments of internal conflict or power struggles. The square to Jupiter suggests that these personal shifts may challenge your comfort zones, especially in practical and material aspects of (Taurus areas of)  life.

This is a time to balance your desire for recognition and self-expression with the deeper changes you are experiencing. The key is to navigate this period by embracing transformation while maintaining a sense of personal identity and stability, being cautious not to overextend yourself in pursuits of security or growth. It's a powerful moment for personal growth if you can manage the dynamic tensions effectively.

Ok Ok but what does it mean for ME - I can hear y’all in my head. The best I can do in a forecast like this is to talk about the general theme but when you join the Crusade I teach you how to personalize it for yourself.

Friday 01/26

• ☽ at 19° 05‘ Leo □ ♅ at 19° 05‘ Taurus | 4:19 pm eastern

Friday still has Leo Full Moon energy but with the bonus of some unexpected surprises (or challenges). 

If you’re feeling the urge to grow and it’s  exciting and/or terrifying - you’re right on track. Go for it and see if you can blow your own mind… just try not to overextend yourself in the process.

Saturday 01/27

• ☉ at 06° 49‘ Aquarius □ ♃ at 06° 49‘ Taurus | 2:18 am eastern
• ♅ ▻ Direct at 19° 05‘ Taurus | 2:35 am eastern
• ☿ ☌ ♂︎ at 17° 17‘ Capricorn | 9:58 am eastern
• ☽ ▻ Virgo | 2:11 pm eastern 

Saturday is intense for a couple of reasons.

As Uranus stations  direct in Taurus, you may experience a turning point where unexpected events or realizations can lead to significant changes. 

This can be a time of innovative breakthroughs and newfound freedom, breaking free from old patterns that no longer serve you. 

However, it can also bring a sense of instability or unpredictability, challenging your comfort zones and traditional ways of doing things. The key is to remain adaptable and open to new methods, while also seeking to maintain a sense of security and practicality.

Then there’s the Mercury-Mars of it all that may be increasing your drive to communicate and act - hopefully in ways that are structured and goal-oriented.

Your thinking and decision-making may become sharper, making it an excellent time for strategic planning and executing complex tasks with precision and efficiency. This can lead to effective communication in professional settings and the ability to assert your ideas with confidence. 

However, there's a risk of becoming overly critical or confrontational in your interactions, as the intensity of your thoughts and words increases. This has the vibe of “fighting words”.

It's important to channel this assertive energy constructively, ensuring that your directness in communication is balanced with tact and consideration for others.

Sunday 01/28: 

• ♀︎ at 06° 00‘ Capricorn ✳ ♄ at 06° 00‘ Pisces | 1:03 am eastern
• ☽ at 06° 01‘ Virgo ☍ ♄ at 06° 01‘ Pisces  | 2:20 am eastern
• ☽ at 06° 05‘ Virgo △ ♀︎ at 06° 05‘ Capricorn  | 2:28 am eastern
• ☽ at 06° 55‘ Virgo △ ♃ at 06° 55‘ Taurus | 4:10 am eastern
• ☿ at 19° 05‘ Capricorn △ ♅  at 19° 05‘ Taurus | 4:06 pm eastern
• ♀︎ at 06° 59‘ Capricorn △ ♃ at 06° 59‘ Taurus | 8:01 pm eastern

Sunday is active but in a productive way. It’s great for building lasting connections, strategic planning, innovative problem solving, and deepening relationships based on mutual respect and shared values. 

It’s really lovely for relationships, projects, and pretty much anything you want to accomplish in the Capricorn and Taurus areas of your life. 

Until next time, my wish for you is to fall deeply in love with yourself.
