CANCER FULL MOON: FIERCE PROTECTION

Monday, January 17, 2022

The week begins with the Moon in Cancer, suggesting sensitivity and moodiness. You may wish you could close the door and hunker down with family and loved ones cuddled close. This evening hare a meal with loved ones, express caring, love, and fierce protection.
 
Because of Cancer’s reputation for such deep sensitivity, it can be easy to forget how strong Cancer is. Cancer is the Protector of the zodiac, ruled by the Moon which symbolizes mother and mothering in a natal chart. Think of the sensitivity and protective fierceness required of mothers.
 
look for the house that holds Cancer in your chart and you’ll understand the area of your life where you hold a fiercely protective nature. You will also understand what area of your life comes to light at this Cancer Full Moon.
 
The Cancer Full Moon occurs at 6:49 PM EST. The Capricorn Sun offers its serious steadfast light to the part of ourselves that needs protection, comfort, and care.
 
At the Full Moon, we see the full illumination of a seed that was planted at the Cancer New Moon on July 9th, 2021. Within the brief 28 day cycle, this brings our attention also to the seed we planted two weeks ago at the Capricorn New Moon. 
 
At 11:02 PM EST, the Moon leaves this place of sensitivity behind to travel through playful Leo for the next few days.

____

REFORMS MOVE AHEAD

Tuesday, January 18, 2022

This morning feels very different than the past few days with the Moon now in playful generous Leo. Being ruled by the Sun, Leo turns our attention to a desire to express ourselves fully and with joy. 
 
At 10:26 AM EST, Uranus the planet of new ideas, upheaval, and reform stations direct. The station of a planet is an important time. It has been slowing down and now comes to a stop before changing direction. The place (sign and degree) of a stationing planet is strongly impacted. This occurrence is a matter of perception not an actual change in motion or direction, but we do respond to what we perceive.
 
Do you have personal planets, the AS or MC near 10 degrees of any fixed sign (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius)? If so you are in the midst of a great awakening or change in your life. An astrology consultation with a competent astrologer will help you understand and work with these changes. 
 
Uranus has been retrograde in Taurus since August 19th. Look to the house that holds Taurus and consider what has been stalled since then and is now ready to begin moving forward once again.
 
At 8:12 PM EST, the Moon forms a challenging square aspect to Uranus at this powerful station. Today could bring unexpected information or understanding. Keep your heart, mind, and, eyes open.

 AQUARIUS SEASON 2022 BEGINS: SUN ENTERS AQUARIUS

Wednesday, January 19, 2022

For the bulk of the day, the Sun remains in Capricorn attempting to give us one last push of effort and ambition as we get ready for Aquarius Season.
 
However, with the Moon in Leo and the Sun at the last unstable degree of Capricorn, ambition is unlikely to be the hallmark of the day.
 
The Moon in Leo brings a spark of inspiration to the day. We want to shine brightly and express ourselves with a larger-than-life warmth and kindness. Engage with the most colorful side of your personality, they are the one who wants to come out to play.
 
At 9:38 PM EST, the Sun enters Aquarius, beginning Aquarius Season 2022. While the Sun moves through this Fixed Air sign we are motivated by intellect, innovation, and freedom. This is a time when individual freedom and human diversity take on greater focus.
 
Light and warmth come to the area of your chart that holds Aquarius. If you are stuck in some area of your life you may find that you are willing to look for more unusual, innovative, or technological solutions. 
 
The Sun remains in Aquarius until entering Pisces on February 18th.

KINDNESS AND REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

Thursday, January 20, 2022

As today gets underway the Moon enters Virgo at 9:03 AM EST. Today and tomorrow are best spent with simple kindness at the center of your agenda. Kindness to others is important but focus a good dose of that on yourself. When the Moon passes through Virgo we may focus too much on perfection and self-criticism. Kindness, perspective, and realistic expectations will help.
 
With Mercury retrograde, do your best to release perfectionism and be clear that your priorities are realistic. When the Moon passes through the Mercury-ruled signs of Virgo and Gemini we feel the retrograde more strongly.
 
Focus your attention on practical detail-oriented tasks. This is a great time to clean out your overcrowded email inbox, or clean and organize your desk, closets, and junk drawer. 

____

PUT YOUR EXPECTATIONS TO A PRACTICAL TASK

Friday, January 21, 2022

The Moon continues through Virgo today, focusing your attention on organization and practicality. Stay alert and don’t get stuck being overly judgemental or disappointed in yourself or others. If you find yourself feeling fussy, turn your attention to understanding and kindness. Breath and release excessive expectations and control. 
 
With Mercury retrograde, this isn’t the time to organize yourself or your loved ones. Your expectations are apt to be too high.
 
Think about what you can control and where you can use fussy perfectionism. Do the laundry, organize something at work or in your personal life. Roll up your sleeves and clean and tidy something practical. Look under your sink, it is probably a mess. Put your perfectionistic expectations to work there. That will make you feel much better than turning that critical eye on yourself or others. 
 
If you are able to take a walk in nature do that today as well. In the natural world, you will see a model of a delightful mess of perfectionism and organization. Model yourself after that type of perfectionism. A daily practice of walking in nature will build your open heart and your understanding of life.

RELEASE JUDGEMENT; FOSTER ACCEPTANCE

Saturday, January 22, 2022

The start of the day continues in much the same as yesterday. Keep focused on being kind and non-judgemental of yourself or others. Continue to make detailed practical efforts at organizing your environment.
 
At 2:46 PM EST, the Moon forms a challenging square aspect to Mars suggesting that you could get triggered into a state of aggravation or anger. You can probably avoid this by keeping all criticisms and judgments to yourself. You are not here to tell others how to live or behave. No matter how good your suggestions are, it is best to keep them to yourself today.
 
At 5:03 PM EST, the Moon enters Libra and we are able to put our judgments aside and move into a pleasant social evening. With a lovely trine aspect to the Sun before bedtime, this evening offers a gift of connection and support between yourself and others.

____

REFLECT ON LOFTY IDEAS

Sunday, January 23, 2022

With the Moon continuing through Libra relationships, teamwork, and cooperation are highlighted today. We want to please others and enjoy beautiful and diplomatic connections. Everyone is more willing to make compromises during this time and we will go to great lengths to avoid butting heads. 
 
Early this morning the Aquarius Sun joins with Mercury. This is called the inferior conjunction and marks the midpoint of Mercury’s retrograde.
 
Take note of the house in your chart that this conjunction occurs in, the house that holds Aquarius. Pay attention to any unanticipated, unusual, and exciting ideas that may come to you. Don’t get ahead of yourself by taking action on those ideas until Mercury returns to forward motion in early February. This is a time of reflection and contemplation on lofty and innovative ideas.

In these weekly reports, I explore the major aspects formed by transit between the planets. I do not consider every aspect that the Moon makes each day as they can be numerous and give rise to fleeting moods. The aspects under consideration: conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines, and oppositions.
The planets I work with: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
