to 2024! Based on the astrological influences, the coming year is going
to provide us with a wide variety of life-changing experiences —
ranging from major opportunities to significant challenges. In my "Breakthroughs & Awakenings" webinar on Wednesday, January 10, I'll start with an overview of the entire year, including a graphic I've created showing the timeframes each important aspect is in effect. From the lineup of planets conjunct powerful Pluto in January-February, to a pivotal Total Solar Eclipse and the groundbreaking Jupiter-Uranus alignment in April, to the surprising Mars-Uranus conjunction in July, to the first Pisces eclipse in September, to impatient Mars opposing Pluto and then going retrograde in theatrical Leo at the end of the year, we're in for the adventure of a lifetime! The rest of the webinar will focus on the planetary influences we'll be working with January through April, including that historic Jupiter-Uranus conjunction on April 20.

MONTH OF AQUARIUS: My next monthly astrology class, covering the Month of Aquarius (January 20-February 18), is set for Wednesday, January 17! The goals of this class are: 1) to go into more depth with the daily planetary aspects for the coming month; 2) to provide a short teaching and example of how transits work in our individual lives; and 3) to answer questions from attendees about their personal charts and transits. This last section is also instructional, since hearing about one person's experience with a specific planetary influence helps everyone understand their own transits, too. I hope you can join us!

But realistic Saturn is square Venus today, reminding us that a responsible life usually requires that we follow certain guidelines and even rules. This aspect offers a reality check and challenges us to assess how we feel about our commitments, whether to a relationship, to a creative endeavor, or to a financial investment. Mercury stations direct: After being retrograde since December 13, Mercury now turns to face the future. As the Messenger Planet slowly begins to move forward and picks up speed over the coming days, it supports our likewise making progress on plans and projects that may have been stalled or on hold for the past three weeks. Tuesday No major aspects are exact today. Wednesday Venus quincunx Jupiter: Moderation is key with this aspect. While the desire to settle an issue and simply be done with it is strong today, we will need to be careful of making too grand a gesture — whether it be in an effort to reconcile a relationship or to break free from all restrictions. Thursday Mars enters Capricorn: While the god of War is in Capricorn, from January 4 to February 12, "slow and steady wins the race." In general, we tend to be more cautious in our actions and slower to respond in anger. However, Mars in ambitious Capricorn can also manifest in a heightened display of authority and a lack of sensitivity to the emotional needs of others. Friday No major aspects are exact today. Saturday Sun square Chiron: Feelings of insecurity may arise today, especially in situations that require us to take charge or to be in a position of leadership. Hostility that is expressed under this influence is often a mask for fear. It will be beneficial to pay attention to the truth of our feelings, rather than judging them or trying to hide them from ourselves. Once we become aware of the frightened inner child who is driving our reactions, healing becomes possible. The space is then opened for us to sit down with that child and embrace them with acceptance, understanding, and love. Sunday Mercury trine Eris: We are not shy about expressing our opinions today. This can be a helpful influence for taking action on a new plan or project, especially one that fulfills a need to feel independent and free. IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS THIS WEEK: You may feel more restless than usual this year, with a heightened need for new experiences or to express your independence in some way. You may surprise yourself by your openness to changes in a specific area of your life, depending on the house placements of both your natal Sun and transiting Uranus. However, old insecurities and even fears may arise along the way, giving you the opportunity for greater self-understanding. Accepting that you have an inner aspect of yourself that is less than confident challenges you to embrace self-care in a way that may not feel natural for goal-oriented Capricorn natives. Please see the description of “Sun square Chiron” on Friday’s aspects list above for more guidance.
