DAYKEEPER'S ENERGY UPDATE WEEK OF JANUARY 18–JANUARY 24, 2019: WOLF MOON ECLIPSE





Not the easiest week, not the
one you expected? Well, we can't
relax quite yet--there's a Full
Moon Eclipse on Sunday! The Wolf
Moon calls upon our emotions; our
deep attachments to family, tribe
and nation. Leo causes feelings to
intensify and surge. Women's march?
Shutdown protests? On a personal
level, we citizens, from
proletarian to president, can use
Aquarian detachment to keep our own
tempers in check. Something will be
shaken up, though, with effects
perhaps lasting far into the
future. By Tuesday, the path
forward begins to feel smoother,
and any kind of people connections
are favored. By Friday, we can see
our way more clearly. Acting upon
and manifesting our visions gets a
big boost.

Excerpt:

Sunday, January 20
With Sun leaving Capricorn to enter Aquarius, the starwaves become less diligent and more concerned with freedom. The water-bearer facilitates awakening, and will bring to light what we need to see for positive change.


Combined with Moon in sensitive Cancer, this is an intuitive combination that favors psychic readings, armchair meditation, and writing and designing a strategy to assist children or other needy groups. Moon’s aspects are challenging, and on the doorstep of tonight’s Full Moon Eclipse, temperamental reactions may arise; so independent work, prayer, visualization and self-care are better than trying to connect with others.


A square from Venus, planet of personal love, to compassionate Neptune, makes creativity flower and helps generate the heart energy to harmonize tonight’s moonbeams.


The Eclipse is exact at 9:16 pm (12:16 am ET). In Leo, it brings to the fore creative endeavors, one’s legacy and things requiring enthusiasm, will, or a touch of drama. It opposes Mercury, forming a T-square with Uranus, planet of change and ruler of Sun, which is the Lord of this Eclipse. At zero degrees Leo, the Eclipse connects with the Aries point—the first degree of cardinal signs—activated by December’s Full Moon in Cancer, and (less precisely but still in orb) by the Full Moons since September. This gives a special push for initiative, accentuating the restlessness of the T-square with Uranus in active Aries and Mercury in ambitious Capricorn.


Lunar Eclipses bring culmination, and the presence of the North Node is considered beneficial, helping us apply a revelation or completion in order to move to a new, higher phase of expression, results or consciousness. A surprise is apt to move us beyond our comfort zone and may at first seem upsetting. But if we can take change in stride and glean the positive potential of any disclosures, the benefits will be brought into relief. Another word of caution: None of the signs involved is exactly the wallflower type, and Mercury will want to talk. In Capricorn, the messenger planet has a bossy streak. Small differences may get blown out of proportion. Tips for dexterous navigation:


  • Avoid unnecessary arguments, confusing a need for confidence with arrogance or projecting your desire for freedom onto imaginary manipulators.
  • Refrain from controlling others or trying to force things.
  • Think twice before pressing your point.
  • For the next few days, plan to journal and write more and talk less.

The Sabian symbol for 0-1 Leo says:

UNDER EMOTIONAL STRESS, BLOOD RUSHES TO A MAN’S HEAD. A basic symbol of Man: forceful, dangerous entrance into the soul realm. Activity per se.
Check the Eclipse’s location in your natal chart for insight on where the disclosure, revelation and culmination can happen for you. (For additional tips, check our monthly General Influences section.)


Affirmation:


Divine Substance is present and working through the changes in my world, so only good can come through them now.





Monday, January 21
Fast Mars makes an early square to slow Saturn—don’t be surprised if something seems to block your actions. Take it as a rest stop to work with yesterday’s Eclipse energy. We can write affirmations, consider alternative paths of action, and make a list of what we don’t really need to do (activities that are a time drain), and what we do need to do (including those things that we delay because of distraction with the latter).


We may also enjoy the upside of the Leo Moon by simply having some low-key fun, doing something creative, or writing notes of positive recognition for loved ones.


The best time for interaction is this evening, when lunar harmonies with Venus and Jupiter bring out the best in people. Go out of your way to express your love, do something altruistic or work on promotion.


Affirmation:

I trust in the infinite intelligence that is working to guide me and others now.
