The Moon is in the 3^rd quarter phase in Libra. The Moon in Libra ruled by Venus likes to please people and loves beauty.

The Sun in Capricorn is Sextile Neptune, this aspect lasts until January 15^th and will be exact on January 14^th. This aspect is great for feeling others’ sensitivity and music and art.

Sun conjunct Pluto in Capricorn is still a factor until January 21, 2023. Pluto makes everything it touches so intense and makes something small turn into something big. In other words, a small problem can suddenly become very big.

Venus in Aquarius square Uranus is exact on January 15^th. This aspect can be fun if you can change plans suddenly. Expect plans to change.

January 15^th, 2023

The moon is void today so it’s best to take it easy and do activities that help revitalize your soul and body.

January 16^th, 2023

Moon square Venus in Aquarius this aspect is connected to the opposition with Uranus in Taurus. These are two hard aspects.  A square aspect is 90 degrees and is a hard aspect, and manifests more in health, money, or work matters. They often give us anxiety. This aspect demands attention to the area in your chart that has fixed signs, Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, and Scorpio.

The Moon will be in Scorpio. Scorpios tend to go deep into the shadows. The Moon in Scorpio is intense, and emotions are felt deeply, and conjunct the South Node. This can be very spiritual. The Moon will be opposite Uranus in the chart/sky. An opposition is 2 planets that are 180 degrees apart. It is considered a hard aspect, and active. Oppositions cause changes and growth, and growth is never easy. Sue Tompkins’ book, ‘The Contemporary Astrology’s Handbook” refers to oppositions as the right wing and left wing of the government that pushes each other.

January 17^th– January 19^th, 2023

On the afternoon of the 17^th, the moon will ingress into Sagittarius, which will be trine Jupiter. Blessings and benefits for all. Venus will be conjunct with Saturn. Venus is how we get fun and pleasure out of life, when it is square Saturn, we meet people whose destiny is linked with yours, or we make sober decisions regarding money or love. Realistic decisions are needed. ‘January 18^th Mercury goes Direct!  

January 20^th, 2023, we have a waning crescent moon in Capricorn, the energy is a bit low.

January 21^st, 2023, the Sun moves into Aquarius. the sun sign Aquarius two key words are freedom and equality. I believe there is an aversion to hierarchy.  They tend to have many friends and are interested in society and are independent.

January 21st, 2023, we have a New Moon in Aquarius 1 degree, sextile Jupiter. It is close to Venus, great for moving forward. However, the new Moon in Aquarius is ruled by Saturn which means structure, and planning is very helpful during this time.

January 22, 2023, Uranus moves direct.  Uranus has been retrograde since September 2022. We will begin to move forward. This is extremely important because now we have all the planets moving in the same direction. I can feel things starting to resolve themselves. Perhaps society will start to have a solid foundation and money matters will start to get stable.

Venus conjunct Saturn is an important aspect that has strong effects on relationships and friends. It is an austerity aspect. It is a time to structure and plan what is the most important.

Since 2020 we have had many hard aspects and the year 2023 is a less stressful time. It’s not like we won’t have problems, but earth-shattering aspects have lifted.  The Nodes, Saturn, and Uranus, aspects have moved on. Mars retrograde for months is finally moving forward. On January 18^th Mercury starts moving forward also. I hope everyone catches a break in January.
