Color outside the lines, paint the sky green.  Electric art and quirky ideas will have a bigger audience under the influence of several solar-powered planets in unconventional, avante garde Aquarius.

Pump optimism into those great ideas that you’ve been tossing around since October 3rd.  This Wednesday they get big forward momentum.  For the next 9 months, our celestial Santa Claus is back to making home deliveries!  

Mid week the innovative Aquarius Sun runs into a tense disagreement with stodgy Saturn over whether or not to make changes or stay stuck in a stable rut.  Aquarius can be just as determined as Saturn can be rigid.  

Friday we welcome February, a chameleon month of innovation and spirituality.  From the freedom fighter to the sensitive, withdrawn poet.

♡ Date Night  The heavenly lovers, Venus and Mars, haven’t been connecting since early January.  This Friday her flight is just 7 minutes delayed for their rendezvous, but he’s already left on a slow boat to China. Tensions build until March 12th.  Romance may be out of sync, but love knows no bounds.  Look for sweet messages in a bottle.

Here’s your horoscope for the week of January 27, 2013:
(★ Astrology Wonks see bottom of page)

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)
Take a deep breath of optimism for our world, and relax into the relief of a calm Sunday.  This week begins with Virgo, the CEO of the zodiac, insisting on a realistic look at the facts and setting priorities that serve others.  Absolutely brilliant and inspired solutions will just pop into your head by Wednesday evening, making your earlier debates look foolishly unnecessary.  Beginning Friday, and for the next three weeks, the goddess of love in the sign of Aquarius will be encouraging you toward more non-traditional, out-of-the-box thinking.  And, you’ll be likely to turn on your heels and walk at the first sign of infringement on your freedoms.  Willful desires are unleashed, and emotions are unapologetically biased!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Your best solution right now is a spiritual one.  Make the most of the next four days by focusing on matters of the heart, not the head.  Careful around the middle of the week when your eccentric point of view is easily misunderstood by others.  But overall, with the Influence of Venus in her new Aquarius home, you’ll enjoy an increased popularity, even if you’re ordinarily shy.  You’ll know that you’re well-liked.  If you’re willing to open Pandora’s box, exposing you secrets safely in an intimate friendship, you’ll find a greater trust has been built.  And from that, bigger hopes.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Support for your free thinking, free wheeling style comes in strong this week.  By Thursday you have a stronger sensitivity to the attitudes and reactions of others, thus helping you gain the cooperation you need.  Remember how much your friendships mean to you before you give up on someone, just because they don’t understand your point of view.  Venus in the eccentrically intellectual skies of Aquarius is welcome friend for your mental curiosity.  You might spend next 24 days at the bookstore!  Or marching on Washington.  There’s nothing careless or casual about your emotions at the end of this week.  Watch your nighttime dreams for clues to your daytime desires.  

Cancer (June 21-July 21)
Peace and contemplation are yours Sunday in aftermath of yesterday’s powerfully feisty Leo Full Moon.  Cleaning up the emotional wreckage will be easy for you, until this Friday when your heart shifts.  Over the next 3 weeks, Venus will expose you to new relationships.  They won’t necessarily be stable or long lasting, but they will have excitement and variety that you crave.  Feeling the full force of your deepest desires makes your emotions very powerful this Saturday, and capable of revealing a needed truth.  

Leo (July 22-August 22)
Your need to take action picks a fight with your fiery Leo emotions Monday morning.  But it jump starts your week with a heady debate over world affairs.  Who exactly is in charge!?  A word of caution for the middle of the week--you’ll feel so strongly about arguing your point that you may unwittingly stir up opposition to your ideas.  Unusual attitudes about what is socially acceptable and what is not will shock and excite you over the next three weeks.  The Friday Venus in Aquarius leaves you with  little regard for the old rules.  You’ll insist on your right to have the freedom to make up your own rules.  This may be more of an internal fight with a stubborn belief.  

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Monday the Moon sharpens her pencils and takes her seat at Virgo’s corporate planning session.  Efficiency is your chairperson, and intuition rules your agenda.  It’s time to wrap up the heartfelt gains in love and money that you’ve accumulated since January 9th.  This Friday, Venus will be in her don’t-fence-me-in mood, so you won’t tolerate anyone trying to restrict your freedoms during the next 3 weeks.  You’ll pick up on other people’s vibes much more quickly, even psychically, with the goddess of love in socially adept Aquarius.  

Libra (September 23-October 22)
You want what you want, and you’re willing to go to any lengths to get it.  If you have an emotional misunderstanding to clear up, this is the perfect time for forming partnerships based on mutual cooperation.  By Wednesday evening the Libra Moon adds charm and elegance to your self-expression.  Your muse, Venus, is moving into Aquarius this Friday where she’ll be in perfect harmony with the desires of your heart for the next 24 days.  Friends become lovers, lovers are friends, not because you lack boundaries but rather because you enjoy the mental stimulation of stirring things up and avoiding boring routines.  

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)
So many unconventional ideas are flying around that your calm assurance will look like an oddity!  But Venus in Aquarius will incline even you to unusual tastes.  It’s most likely that you’ll decide for yourself what is art and what isn’t.  Your preferences will shift toward extremes, and so will your money making ideas.  Saturday’s Scorpio Moon may have you in the throes of jealous possessiveness, revenge, and great make-up sex.  Whatever you’re feeling, it will be multiplied by 10!  Your warrior shifts into spiritual mode by the end of the week, and your actions are blessed for the next five weeks.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 20)
Some radical yet needed ideas can’t be sold by standing on your soapbox.  Wait (not your favorite thing!) for someone who understands you.  Watch out that somewhere around the middle of the week your stubborn adherence to an idea doesn’t alienate other people.  Beginning Friday, the goddess of love will incline you toward sudden yet casual romantic attractions.  Venus in Aquarius just wants you to love everyone!  Saturday’s not a time to easily forgive and forget, since it may be too easy to take things personally.  Remember, other people’s opinions are none of your business.

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
You know your treasure lies in the steadfastness of your heart.  Bring your love with you when you meet the efficiency police (Moon in Virgo) who are on duty for the start of your week, making it a time to get things done.  Not done in a hurry, but done thoroughly without mistakes.  Don’t expect love relationships to go along as usual after Venus leaves Capricorn this Friday.  Instead, expect ruts to be exposed and then abandoned.  Your warrior energy turns musical and poetic for the next five weeks.  Listen to Tears for Fears.  You’re enjoying a time of emotional stability and intuitive clarity.  

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
220 volts electrifies your eccentricities!  Sun, Mental Mercury, Mars and then Venus are in Aquarius this week.  You're spilling out to all mankind the life force of your enormous spiritual energy.  Midweek you may become annoyed when your ideas are not understood, and you’re ready to argue your point to the bitter end.  Love takes on a sparkling effervescence beginning this Friday.  Expect surprises in romance during the next 24 days.  Working within the confines of traditional relationship’s do’s and dont's is not likely to satisfy your need for new and unusual experiences.  However, if a partnership forms that allows room for sudden changes and your eccentric tastes, then you’re all-in for a lifetime of devotion.

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)
Beginning Friday, you can expect the unexpected where romance is concerned.  Like winding up a Jack-in-the-Box, the anticipation will be exciting.  Some nervous energy is part of the package.  Your whole life gets turned on by very strong intuitive promptings beginning this Friday.  Action packed Mars in your sign for the next five weeks brings a practical spirituality and heightened sensitivity to feelings.  You’ll need quiet time, but withdrawal will undermine your self-confidence.  Saturday you may decide that a grudge should be held just long enough to plot your revenge, fairly of course!  

✶ Astrology Wonks

Friday Mars surrenders his heady pursuits in the intellectually ivory towers of Aquarius in favor of the imaginative waters of Pisces at 5:53 PM, PDT.  Then Venus puts on a purple plumbed electric hat to whirl her way into Aquarius at 6:46 PM, PST.  Missed him by 7 minutes!  He’s become the musician with subtle lyrics, secret dreams, tears for fears.

The softly sensitive Moon dips into the icy waters of Scorpio this Saturday at 4:01 AM, PST, then goes on to strike harmonious chords with visionary Neptune in Pisces at 7:45 AM, PST.  Deeply felt spiritual truths.

Leo Lioness roars for peace

“Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.”  Martin Luther King

The power of Saturday’s Full Moon in Leo will magnetically drawn you to integrate your head and your heart, to meld your thoughts with your intuition.  The genius we need for full scale reform of our attitudes toward the downtrodden, the ragged and unwell, rides on the back of this lioness’s courage.  

Martin Luther King sits at the head of this week’s astrological journey.  The freedom loving Aquarius Sun is all about brotherhood, while the Leo Moon is heart-wide-open wonder and awe at the sight of our burning desire for freedom.
Without the practiced power to forgive, we cannot truly love. "I have decided to stick with love.  Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
The Force of atonement is with you.

♡ Date Night  Over the Moon optimism fuels a riotous TGIF, even though Venus and Mars are a chilly couple, intimacy-wise.  You'll want to party with everyone, at the same time you need to work late at the office! Festivities or duties?  Expect drama.

Here’s your horoscope for the week of January 20th, 2013:
(★ Astrology Wonks see bottom of page)

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)
Monday may end with a bang!  You hit the decks running this week while you’re also trying to juggle four balls in the air.  You get hit with surprises that are pleasant but challenge your balance.  Adventures that broaden your horizons come midweek.  You should be asking yourself, “why not?”  You’ll still be riding high after Friday night's big optimism, when the Moon roars into self-confident Leo Saturday morning.  Courage and open-hearted loyalty make the regal superiority of the Leo lioness your protector and friend.  The journey from your head to your heart gets a paved eight lane freeway from Saturday’s Leo Full Moon.   

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Sunday starts your week with an unusually angry feeling about people who try to shove their beliefs down your throat!  You rarely rebel openly, but your righteous warrior is digging his heels in, taking a stand, and will not be moved! ("We shall not be moved!")  Sweet dreams of the fruits of your labor fill your head just before bedtime Wednesday.  Turn them into clear affirmations that you can sleep on.  Bottom line as your approach Saturday’s Full Moon, what do your really believe in?  What would you put yourself on the line for?  This Leo-Aquarius Full Moon raises the necessity of integrating your head with your heart.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
The Moon in your sign has a dreamy edge to start your week in a pink haze that could confuse your usually clear thinking.  At the same time you have an inner sense of well being, that it’s all okay.  Flashes of genius and epiphanies of insight will amp up your intellectual volume Tuesday.  By Wednesday evening the flurry of ideas will actually settle into their natural place, and grow some productive roots.  By the week’s end a sense of “all’s right with the world” fills your head with optimistic attitudes and a broader horizon. The Leo Full Moon is perfect for a party.

Cancer (June 21-July 21)
Getting serious about who owes what to whom will bring a better structure to your relationships.  Not particularly fun (the goddess of love would rather paint over it in technicolor), but it will make for lasting value.  Midweek is meant for thinking outside the tried-and-true box.  Innovation is your friend.  The Moon looks homeward like an angel of comfort beginning Wednesday evening when she settles into Cancer.  Trying to keep things status quo will prove impossible by Thursday, when you might as well risk the vulnerability of exposing a secret.  Bottom line this week, what is your heart's desire?

Leo (July 22-August 22)
You’re taking your head full of ideas to King Arthur's round table (yes, you’re the King!) for egalitarian resolutions.  What is worth fighting for?  Tuesday's a 
Think Tank, perfect for getting a new perspective that really shakes up the status quo.  Thursday evening delivers a titillating surprise or two that wakes you up to anything that's held you back.  A new perspective comes just in time to take advantage of it. The past month’s efforts come to fruition, culminating at Saturday’s Full Moon in your sign.  Your weekend brings a note of good cheer and heady optimism that helps you take that risk.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
You know how to move with the dance of life and make the work of healing look effortless. Venus is in your corner, sweetening the changes you want to make.  This week puts your habits to the test. A few more hours at the office, or head out for home and hearth?  What serves you? With so much on your to-do list, either everything crashes in anxiety, or your true desires ignite a creative fire. Saturday’s Full Moon in Leo shakes up an old patterns to make room for change. From the ashes, new life.

Libra (September 23-October 22)
Your emotions are mercurial and covered in a haze of dreams Monday morning.  Write them down before you wake fully. You have an unusually serious take on your relationships this week and a need to restructure responsibilities.  Focusing on stability and longevity are not things that Venus-ruled Libras are usually prone to do.  But this week you’re a master of cooperation!  Look for expansive opportunities and peak experiences midweek.  By Wednesday evening, your brilliant ideas flutter out of your head and down to your feet, which are planted securely on your home turf.  You're in an excellent position to put your heart into your work.
Leo’s creative fires this weekend fill you with the awe and wonder of a new life.  

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)
Seriousness is putting a reality check on your most meaningful relationships, not a wet blanket necessarily, but definitely a break with any obsessive ideas about how it should be.  If you need to get down to your core beliefs, the ones you’d put everything on the line for, Friday is the day.  Gotta work late?  Worth missing a comfy dinner by the home fires?  The juice of Saturday’s Full Moon in Leo is a sure fire hangover in the making, if you let the good cheer of Friday night go to waste in overindulgence.  Instead, enjoy your adventurous attitude, and you’ll wind up with a wonderful sense of well-being.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 20)
Early in the week, culminating on Tuesday, you’ll be ripe with ideas for a better world.  Get out your soap box because others really do need to hear the wake up call of your zeal and optimism.  The Full Moon in Leo this Saturday has you on the internet searching travel deals for an African safari!  If you can stay out of the gambling halls, avoid shouting “drinks on me” for everyone at the bar, you’ll end up high on life.

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
Venus in your sign is sobering up and pulling away from some passionate obsessions that have held your love captive to unconscious drives.  Your self-confidence is growing through the successes that are meaningful to you.  You aren’t influenced in the least by unsubstantiated praise from others.  Thursday finds you emotionally secure but frazzled with sudden changes.  Issues related to children, romance and creativity carve out a deeper place in your heart and challenge you to harvest your resources for a new beginning in those arenas.

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
You meet resistant to your naturally unconventional political ideas, and you welcome the challenge to debate.  Or better still, get yourself elected as chairperson and guide the group to honor human rights.  You’re like the great orator Martin Luther King, who had Mercury, the planet of communicating, in the sign of Aquarius.  Saturday is the Full Moon in Leo-Aquarius.  Your role as a loyal partner and friend is integral to who you’ve become. Leo does not hesitate to throw everything into the fires of chaos in order to make room for something new to be born.  What brings light, must endure burning.

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)
The powerfully obsessive preoccupation you’ve had about a close love relationship is waning.  You’re aware now of the need to restructure, along the lines of more responsibility and accountability to each other.  Use the spiritual “hunches” now coming to you.  Tuesday you’re an intellectual powerhouse, just don’t let it fry your circuits!  Saturday’s Full Moon in Leo energizes your hopes and dreams, and challenges you to integrate them with the work you do.  And to remember you cannot do any of it alone.

✶ Astrology Wonks
Martin Luther King’s destiny is clearly written in his stars.  The most compassionate of hearts from his Pisces Venus paired with the Moon--a natural ability for unconditional love and the deepest empathy for the suffering of all mankind.  Venus in Pisces is the sweetest most empathic ability to love and, when joined by the Moon, becomes the experience of feeling at one with all.   

King had the guaranteed fame of Sun in Capricorn conjunct the midheaven, integrity and ambitious fairness.  Thank God for our Nation, he had a thoughtful dose of righteous anger from a Gemini Mars square his sympathetic Moon.  In the end we will not remember the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.  A quiet tolerance of evil is cooperating with it.  

His Soul understood the inevitability of a violent death, with Mars directly opposed to the Grim Reaper (Saturn) in his 8th house.  Above all, he was gifted with Practical Spirituality by an exact trine between visionary Neptune and generous Jupiter.  

Humility is out the door this Saturday when the naturally self confident Leo Moon heads for an opposition with the Aquarius Sun (Full Moon in Leo at 8:39 PM, PST).  Not the time to be shy!

Love will steer the stars

Science is showing us that we are all connected at a very deep and profound level.

The Age of Aquarius gets ramped up this Friday when Mercury shifts into Aquarian thinking, and the Sun follows suit on Saturday.  Our world is a matrix of indivisible interrelationships. 
Mind is a telepathic energy field that transcends fear and perceives only love. 

We’re not alone.  By a new count, 17 billion Earth-size planets inhabit the Milky Way.  The PopClock counts over 7 billion people on earth.  We’re all like quantum particles who, once in contact, retain our connection even when separated.  No matter how far apart, we’re always influencing each other.


♡ Date Night:  Frighten yourself with how vulnerable you can be.  The goddess of love has been traveling with the lord of the underworld for the past week, and now, because she eats of his pomegranate seeds, she succumbs to his seduction.  The power of deepest passion is activated.  You’ll feel a longing to consummate a “fated” union that transforms you, like succumbing to the bite of the vampire.   

The Force of connecting is with you.


Here’s your horoscope for the week of January 13, 2013:
(★ Astrology Wonks see bottom of the page)

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)
Expect an event that will challenge you to accept things as they are, not how you thought they were.  This may particularly affect your career.  The fireworks are lit Wednesday morning over breakfast when your intuition catches fire. This is a circuit breaker at best and a nervous overload at worse. You’re in no mood for trial and error as a teaching device!  By the end of the week you’ll feel your brain firing on all cylinders again, getting a boost of scientific curiosity.  Sympathy and trust abound in your heart, perfect for the friendship skies of Aquarius this weekend.  

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Venus entwined with Pluto is passion that can transform you, like breaking through the chrysalis and pushing away the barriers of a “secure” cocoon.  You’ll never be the same!  And, because your ruling planet Venus is now in your ninth house of the higher mind, you’re a teacher of the Aquarian ideals of love and peace.  Expect to get a broader more objective view of your career toward the end of this week.  

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Wings for your mind?  Just like the Age of Aquarius song, it’s actually true for you now that Jupiter is aligned with Mars!  You’re guided toward fortunate action because of higher self-confidence and considerable foresight.  The weekend will be particularly lucky and adventurous for you.  But the beginning of this week will greatly intensify your feelings, to the point that you’re not sure where such powerful drives are coming from.  This is a time to see the power of your wanting creates your reality.  Perception is your wish fulfilled.

Cancer (June 21-July 21)
Vulnerable is your watchword this week.  If you act as if everyone can read your mind, there'll be no need to hide.  The good news is, only your loving thoughts are shared.  You can lasso the high flying Aquarian Age ideals and pull sympathy and understanding closer to home and community.  There you’ll have a deeper connection than most to the truths that lie behind hatred and killing.  You’re closer to love’s meaning by your willingness to see all the things that love is not.  

Leo (July 22-August 22)
Let the sunshine in!  To your heart.  Your natural courage adds action to the Aquarian ideals that would otherwise get stuck in an ivory tower. Your partnerships will reap the benefit of your ability to see things in the light of impersonal truths.  You’ll benefit from seeing your relationships through the lens of unbiased, objective reason.  If you need more cooperation from others, you’ll get it this week.  Can you bridge the 18” journey between your head and your heart?

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Pay attention to any discomfort you feel right now, as it may signal a birth of something uniquely creative and brand new in your life.  Just give yourself, and people close to you, plenty of room to adjust.  Harmony and understanding are Aquarian ideals that you make practical, and apply to your work.  Because you can personalize this energy, and use it on behalf of serving others, it greatly enhances your natural healing abilities. Especially through your hands.  

Libra (September 23-October 22)
Invite God in for hot cocoa and a fireside chat.  The spirit of Aquarius is filling a cup of sympathy that connects you to our shared consciousness.  Intense events during the first half of this week help you understand the destructiveness of duality thinking, us against them, which puts you in the perfect position to use your Libran diplomacy.  The only reason for you to take sides is to empathically understand an opponent's argument, but not to agree with them.  Seeing both sides now is in your destiny.

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)
As a Scorpio you are used to delving into even the dark side of life, the places others fear to look.  Your unconscious mind is very active, particularly Wednesday.  You may find yourself completely infatuated, fascinated with the newness.  The Moon will be in your seventh house this Friday and Saturday, actualizing the prediction of the Age of Aquarius song.  “Mystic crystal revelations” about relationships will come through your intuitive knowing.  Like finding an oasis in the desert.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 20)
Amped up mental energy begins the end of this week, so start taking notes before you lose track of those hot ideas.   You are the Aquarian voice for no more falsehoods or derisions.  A deeper look at your spiritual ideals will show you proof that miracles have been done through you, letting you replace fear with love.  

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
The depth of the spiritual transformation you experienced throughout 2012 will be clear to you now.  Your deepest fears have been replaced by love, laughter has replaced tears and abundance replaced loss.  If Tuesday happens to be your birthday, it’s a day to know down to your toes how much you are loved.  You, dear Capricorn, can move a mountain one small stone at a time.  

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
Your solar power returns this Saturday in spades!  It will feel like “the mind's true liberation” for you.  You’re more open to new experiences and don’t care if your ideas are socially acceptable or not!  Early in this week there may be a few upsets, but you are past the point of justifying attack as an appropriate response personally or globally. Use your universal voice.  You carry the vision of golden living dreams of peace.  

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)
A poetic Moon sails into the calm waters of Pisces on Monday.  You can create poetry or lift off to new spiritual heights in your morning meditation.  The feeling grows all day.  You’ll be doing Jedi mind tricks!  By midweek you’re having trouble keeping up with the new openness in your friendships.  The breath of Aquarius that comes along for the weekend adds to your connections with the Force.  Your mind is impregnated with a longing for peace, that guides your actions.  

Astrology Wonks
The two main events this week are:  1.  Venus conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn Wednesday at 5:28 PM, PST.  2.  Mental Mercury moves into Aquarius Friday at 11:25 PM, and the Sun follows Saturday at 1:51 PM.  See  I Am, “the shift is about to hit the fan.”

Venus has been traveling hand in hand with the lord of the underworld for the past week, seemingly cool headed and in control.  But Wednesday she eats of the pomegranate fruit he offers her, and succumbs to his sexual advances (5:28 PM, PST).  Venus entwined with Pluto is deep, often karmic, sexual passion.

Friday afternoon the journey gets very tense when the Aries Moon squares off with Mercury in Capricorn (4:42 PM, PST).  Very heated feelings get a dose of icewater.  

Saturday the Capricorn Sun packs up his stock options and heads out to survey public opinion from the ivory towers of Aquarius (1:51 PM, PST).  Integrity meets equality.

Date Night’s full story comes Saturday afternoon when the sensuous Taurus Moon opposes a seriously emotional Saturn in Scorpio (3:06 PM, PST), pulling down upon herself some stagnant clinging to old judgements.  But the mood shifts in time for a welcomed seduction, when the Taurus Moon invites Venus in Capricorn over for wine and roses (9:18 PM, PST).

Thursday’s a day for precision tuning of your career plans and financial status, as a warm-up for Friday’s New Moon in your sign.  A pinnacle of new beginnings for you!

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
Get those good intentions off the shelf and actually do the numbers.  What will it take to get where you want to go? Your week starts with a generous dose of foresightedness.  You easily grasp the most logical solution to any problem.  Success comes in little packages.  New beginnings happen for you this Friday, showing you how to let go.  Look for an old friend to pop in out of nowhere and offer just the help you need.  Take it.  

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)
If you’ve felt a hint of being deluded by your fears, take heart!  This week brings you a keen sense of awareness, so that very little of practical consequence escapes your notice.  Your understanding of form and structure is excellent.  Do the math!  Your love life gets sure footed support beginning this Tuesday, for the next three weeks.  Don’t expect glamour or fireworks, but rather a sincere, steady partner who’ll support your secret dreams.

Astrology Wonks Only
Messenger Mercury in Capricorn is conjunct, exactly paired, with Pluto this Sunday.  No superficial anything!  And both Mercury and Pluto at 9 degrees make a sextile wink at the Moon/Saturn conjunction in Scorpio, also 9 degrees.  Ideas run deep, and are structurally sound.

After the Moon climbs into Capricorn Thursday, she makes a nervous square to electric Uranus, a conjunction to Pluto, and a sextile shy wink at Saturn.  All in a Capricorn’s days work!  And that’s only the warm up. This Capricorn Moon is on her ambitious way to Fridays New Moon at 11:44 AM, PDT.  Venus, Pluto and Mercury join the Sun and Moon in Capricorn for a five star lineup that maximizes the power of each planet.

Saturday’s Date Night is a struggle for the right-of-way!  The Moon lifts your emotions into the I-love-everybody skies of Aquarius, while Venus has your heart in coolheaded, reserved Capricorn.  Next, Venus tbones an impulsive god of lightning, who’s doing 90 mph, at the intersection of GetSerious and HurryUp.  Unpredictable and fickle times.
