Overview

Venus retrograde in Capricorn makes a sextile aspect to Neptune in Pisces on the 5^th (Wednesday) and Mars in Sagittarius is square aspect o Neptune from the 10^th (Monday) until the 12^th (Wednesday).  This exchange of empathy and support is followed by more aggressive discord. Requests for compensation are honored now, and under suspicion later. Repair relationships now to withstand the stress of what comes next. If natal planets are in contact here, the situation may be a personal stress. Next week is stressful for international affairs, leaving many to doubt the stability of the institutions we depend on. The pandemic outbreak is likely to surge. With Sun and Venus retro in Capricorn along with Pluto, organizational clarity is essential. Saturn in Aquarius strives to focus on ideals, while limiting access for all. We are struggling to process the effects of climate change and the pandemic. The pandemic will end, while the consequences of climate change will last forever.

Summary of Major Aspects of the Week

Wednesday January 5^th — Venus retro in Capricorn is in a sextile aspect to Neptune in Pisces, when increased empathy promotes conversations and active adjustments. The Moon in Aquarius early in the day ingress to Pisces and a conjunction aspect with Jupiter late in the day or overnight US time zones, early AM on Thursday in the eastern half of the globe. Expansive power for charitable actions resounds. Beware of potentially toxic substances that may seem to give relief, as it could result in a death sentence.

Thursday January 6^th — The Moon in Pisces is sextile aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus by mid-day (US time zones), afternoon in Europe and the Mid-East. This interjection of the Saturn in Aquarius square aspect to Uranus in Taurus, as the Moon is also semi-sextile to Saturn, drawing the square aspect into effect, but also modifying it. The outcome is less harsh, modifying the economic and/or health impact. The Venus–Neptune sextile aspect remains in effect, with empathetic judgments. The Moon in Pisces makes sextile aspects to the Sun and Venus in Capricorn before the conjunction aspect with Neptune in Pisces. Communication is enhanced with personal contacts with professionals in the medical field, for example. The Moon is also in a square aspect to Mars in Sagittarius, with more distribution of urgent care needs.

Friday January 7^th — Energy seems depleted early in the day, draining resources, although later, the sextile aspect to Pluto acts to regenerate emotionally. Late in the day, the Moon in Pisces is sextile aspect to Ceres in Taurus for a favorable impact on health. Venus retro and the Sun are doubly approaching a conjunction aspect in Capricorn. Venus is combust in a close conjunction aspect, as attractions may no longer appeal. Critical objections arise in relationships.

The Moon makes a conjunction aspect with Chiron later in the day, evoking the inner voice of wisdom.

Sunday January 9^th — The Moon in Aries is square aspect to Venus retro and to the Sun in Capricorn for the 1^st quarter Moon phase, a crisis in action may occur, as the goals of the cycle reach obstacles or conflicts. Mars in Sagittarius is trine aspect to the Moon as the developing conflict evolves. Personal goals may preclude agreement, resulting in a breakdown of communication. Independence seeking by individuals furthers a crisis. The Sun in Capricorn approaches the sextile aspect to Neptune in Pisces, with greater appreciation of the consequences of disease, and attempts to contain the spread of contamination.  Sympathetic moves are likely, with a love for harmony. Concessions can also be made with this aspect.

Tuesday January 11^th —   The Moon in Taurus and a conjunction aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus could lead to reversals, property repossessions, for example. Mercury in Aquarius represents a collective voice. Mercury square aspect to the Moon–Uranus conjunction, indicates reversals due to the collective voice, through demonstrations or petitions. The Moon in a square aspect to Saturn in Aquarius follows, as decisive action is taken. 

Have a great week and enjoy the New Year holiday.

Reminder: While lunar aspects are in effect only for only a few hours, the aspect of the outer planets can last days and weeks. I post a reading for a day in advance in order to give a preview, and also because the aspects may be in effect a day earlier.
