Uranus and the Full Moon Escape

Overview

Mars retro has returned to Cancer the sign ruled by the Moon, indicating emotional sensitivity and care for home. Mars will return to direct transit on February 24^th and re-enters Leo on April 19^th. This week, the opposition aspect of Mars retro to Pluto in Aquarius weakens, as Mars separates from the aspect and enters Cancer, for an out-of-sign aspect, further weakening the opposition aspect.  On Monday, the Sun in Capricorn will be trine aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus, an aspect that could cover 2-3 days, as Uranus retro slows in preparation to return to direct motion at the end of January. Mercury ingress to the sign of Capricorn on January 8^th . The Moon transits from Taurus, through Gemini, ingress to Cancer on the 12^th  and forms the Full Moon on the 13^th. Soon after the Full Moon, the Moon makes a conjunction aspect with Mars, reigniting the opposition of Mars to Pluto. This could revive a focus on terrorist attacks, or possibly more violence takes place, a week before the Inauguration of the incoming POTUS.

Looking ahead

Summary of major and minor aspects of the week

Wednesday January 8^th — Mercury ingress to Capricorn with a quincunx aspect to Mars retro in Cancer, a doubly separating out-of-sign aspect, therefore of less value, even as it is a close aspect. I read this as currently potent, but rapidly losing its value, so now is the time to act on issues that matter, as Mercury is square aspect to the lunar nodes, Rahu and Ketu. Jupiter retro in Gemini is doubly approaching a trine aspect with Ceres in Aquarius, as the issues of wars and hostages remain on the front burner. The Moon in Taurus makes a square aspect to Ceres, as another sticking point emerges.
