We have the Aquarius New Moon at 4:41 pm EST today. This means the start of a Lunar month focused around inventiveness, intellectual pursuits and group concerns. Aquarian energy is unique, rebellious and independent. When the two Lights come together in this Fixed Air sign, much can be be accomplished through the sharing of ideas that are new and different, leaving behind outmoded thinking that no longer serves the greater good.
The fact that the Sun and Moon at 4 degrees of Aquarius are forming a square aspect to Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius, at 2 degrees of Taurus, speaks to the possibility of sudden changes in how we view what's right in front of us. The challenge is not to be so locked up in one's own sense of self and need for security that we overlook the rights of others to also feel secure, financially and physically. Once we have stepped outside our own comfort zone and surveyed the situation we're dealing with, from a fresh perspective, then we can rely on our intuition to lead us to "right action".
Pay attention to your thoughts and how you word things when talking with others. You can make some real headway because your thinking is clear right now, allowing yourself to more easily express your feelings. Just watch out for a tendency to be impatient!
Romance, creativity and beauty are all enhanced by a Venus/Neptune encounter. Fantasy is a strong possibility under this influence, so check in with reality to make sure you aren't going down a rabbit hole. If you listen to your muse , you could express yourself through an artistic past-time, like photography, painting or writing poetry. If none of these appeal to you, try visiting a museum or art gallery. At the very least, a romantic or nostalgic movie will fit the bill.
For now, enjoy this new lunar energy that imprints the month ahead and remember to keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground.

Pathways Astrology: Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Cancer
Pathways Astrology: Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Cancer: Welcome to the 1st Full Moon Lunar Eclipse of 2020, coming on the heels of December 26th's New Moon Solar Eclipse, and landing 2 day...
Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Cancer
Welcome to the 1st Full Moon Lunar Eclipse of 2020, coming on the heels of December 26th's New Moon Solar Eclipse, and landing 2 days before the culmination of the Saturn/Pluto conjunction!! Wow, what a lot of energy that is to focus on.
The Full Moon occurs on Jan. 10th at 2:21pm in the 20th degree of Cancer, opposing the Sun at 20 Capricorn and Mercury, also at 20 Capricorn. Not to be left out, this Full Moon is also opposed to both Saturn and Pluto, as they inch within minutes of each other at 22 Capricorn! Neither Venus, nor Jupiter are within orb of any other planets. However, just to add an element of excitement to the day's serious tone, the revolutionary planet, Uranus is turning Direct tonight, after four and a half months in retrograde motion! I wonder what surprises are in store?!
You're probably wondering... what does it all mean? Actually, astrologers, myself included, have been talking and writing about much of these planetary influences for weeks, even months now. So, to paraphrase: the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse will bring light to bear on our homes, legacies, roots or careers. We've all been experiencing the need to let go of, or purge ourselves of unwanted or unnecessary emotional and/or daily stress, as we move toward our desired outcome. The Eclipse can help us with that!
This is the time frame in which we get to see how well we're doing taking care of ourselves. Is everything going to get better overnight? Hardly! But if we've been vigilantly honest with ourselves and begun the process of removing the dead wood that has been holding us back, whether attitudes, habits, relationships, jobs or living situations, then we can assess where we are at and what the next step is. It is after all, the time to get serious about being in charge of our own safety and security.
An important alignment, and one not to be overlooked during this Full Moon phase, is Mercury conjuncting Saturn and Pluto, bringing clarity, logic and reason to bear as we express our needs in meaningful ways. No apologies or excuses needed, just say what you mean and become the authority in your own life by giving voice and applying effort to your intentions. The important people in your life will notice.
In the meantime, let Neptune's soothing balm help inform you, through your intuition or artistic creativity, as you become more aware of the needs of others you encounter along your path. Avoid any feelings of martyrdom or putting others on pedestals, as they have their own paths to follow, and you, yours.
Remember to keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground~
