Venus Enters Her Exaltation 🫧

What does 2023 hold for you? To s chedule a New Year’s Reading

(S hemisphere below)

We are emerging into action and motion now, as Mercury has begun to move and Mars will too this week after the slow start to the year.

Uranus has also stationed direct so we can add his restless, pulsing, blue electrical fire to the mix, insisting we continued to upgrade and evolve our lives vs surrendering to mediocrity on any level. With Mercury, Mars & Uranus all emphasized, it’s time to be open to paradigm shifts around the earthy topics of food and money. This is essential as the events of the world are leading us down a path that leaves no choice: we upgrade or die. Not to be too dramatic but concurring with the US first Pluto return, things are rather dire. How do you use this personally? It’s time to learn to grow food, any amount. If that’s not possible then learn where the local CSA (community supported agriculture) farms are and join. Venus is the first planet of the year to enter Pisces, representing snowmelt of the Aquarian ice. We need a big glass of universal love at this point, so cheers to that. ————— Monday January 23 Uranus has stationed direct at 14° Taurus, and will now begin to move forward, accelerating the evolutionary paths we have come here individually & collectively, to walk. Open yourself to the new & unexpected. The Aquarius Moon crosses Saturn & Venus, and then enters Pisces today. Mercury has started to regain normal planetary speed as it touches in with the North Node. For a day Uranus and Mars are both beaming out their stationed messages. Mars and Uranus together can be trouble so take extra care today. Tuesday January 24 The Pisces Moon squares Mars, and sextiles Uranus, as the Aqua Sun makes a sextile to Jupiter. This is the energy of Austrian occultist Rudolph Steiner; social reformer, architect, esotericist, and claimed clairvoyant. At the beginning of the twentieth century he founded an esoteric spiritual movement, anthroposophy, with roots in German idealist philosophy and theosophy. In the first, more philosophically oriented phase of this movement, Steiner attempted to find a synthesis between science and spirituality. His philosophical work of these years, which he termed "spiritual science", sought to apply what he saw as the clarity of thinking characteristic of Western philosophy to spiritual questions. We need this kind of fusion between spirit and science, moving forward. Use it today to find links between the two, in your life. Wednesday January 25 We are in dreamland for the first part of the day as the Pisces Moon conjuncts Neptune and sextiles Pluto. Once it enters Aries and joins Jupiter, we get big boost akin to a stiff cup of coffee. The Aquarius season is fixed air which responds well to fire, so let yourself be ignited and delighted, and apply the good vibe to getting some new project off the ground. Thursday January 26 The Aries Moon conjuncts Chiron at 12°, while making square to Mercury in Cap. This strongly encourages a reckoning w truth, power, and wounds in these areas. Bringing in the softness is Venus moving into her exaltation in Pisces! It’s time to roll out the red carpet of welcome to the dreamy charm of this signature. We can now tap into seductive compassion mixed with unconditional romanticism. It’s also the Queen of Rose-colored glasses so beware of delusion and potential martyrdom. Friday January 27 The Astro-weather is a bit harsh today as the Aries Moon squares Pluto at 28°, under an Aquarius sun. This can show volatility and reactivity or just an old fashioned desire to brawl. Take the high road, or just stay home. Saturday January 28 Today is earthy and sensual as the Taurus Moon conjuncts Uranus, while trine Mercury in Cap. Sleep in, eat well, then use Saturn’s day to get some projects done. It’s still winter but spring is coming. Sunday January 29 Today is more energetic and social as the Sun trines Mars at 9° of air signs, but the Moon square Saturn could be some butting of heads. Pick your battles, and try not to sweat the small stuff.

Monday January 23 Aquarius Moon trine Mars and square the Nodes. Mercury moves forward from his station degree at last, making a trine to the North Node, beginning the real new year. This year begins with Chinese New Year. It’s been a wet slow cold start, which makes the Black Water Rabbit feel right at home.

Venus joins Saturn in Aquarius today emphasizing a serious need for clear agreements in partnering, as well as a need for freedom.
