Planetary Transits for January 22-28, 2017

Sunday, January 22
The Moon enters Sagittarius today at 5:45am EST and is at her most optimistic in this Jupiter-ruled sign. The Moon in Sagittarius has us ready to go out and try something new, invest time into learning a new skill, or discussing deep topics. The Moon in this sign can be pulled toward excess, as Jupiter loves to live large, so be aware if you feel a little over the top.

Monday, January 23
The Moon in Sag squares up with Neptune in Pisces at 2:37am EST, and quite frankly has us wanting to cut through the crap to get to the good stuff. While Jupiter rules both Sagittarius and Pisces (traditionally), Neptune can make things a little blurry. Sagittarius wills us to consider what can be learned from situations in which things may not appear as they are.

Tuesday, January 24
Moon in Sagittarius squares Chiron in Pisces today at 1:49am EST might have you confronting something from your past or old way of being. Acknowledge, learn, and move on. The Moon later enters Capricorn at 5:43pm EST, urging you to take charge of this past hurt.

Wednesday, January 25
Venus in Pisces moves over Chiron in Pisces at 1:49am EST and is followed by the Moon in Capricorn joining forces with Mercury in Capricorn at 6:58pm EST. These combined transits are telling us to nurture ourselves from the confrontation of past hurt from yesterday in order for thoughts and feelings to align so that they way forward is clear. This will involve taking responsibility for your thought patterns and dropping those that don’t serve you.

Thursday, January 26
Moon in Capricorn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn at 4:22am EST and square Uranus in Aries at 10:18am EST is calling us to take charge of our personal power today and actually DO something. This is a great combo for business and making it happen up until 2:18am EST on the 27th when the Moon goes void of course.

Friday, January 27
Venus in Pisces squares Saturn in Sagittarius today at 12:50pm EST. There may be a challenge to authority and relationships today -- a juxtaposition between acting from the heart and taking care of things from what you know to be true. The Moon entering Aquarius today at 3:37am EST may help discern this dilemma from a bird’s eye view. Think of the big picture when making any decisions today.

Saturday, January 28
Mars enters Aries at 12:39am EST where it works its best and quickest. New projects might be on the forefront, and intense motivation will be available if we recognize it. Interaction and reaction will be on high alert today. Decide how you best want to use your abundance of energy.
