This week’s headline items:<\/strong> the Sun changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Monday late morning; the Uranus Station ends (in Taurus) on Thursday; on Friday afternoon, the New Moon in Aquarius becomes exact (ending Eclipse Season); and on Saturday, Chinese New Year begins — we are entering “the Year of the Metal Rat”.<\/p>\nThere will be three Moon VoC<\/a> phases this week: Monday late evening (for a little over 24 hours), Thursday evening (for a little over 11 hours) and Saturday afternoon (for a little over 28.5 hours).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Website issues are resolved!<\/strong> Yay! Thanks for your patience!<\/p>\n Also, for those of you who have not yet seen my Announcement for Star and SuperStar Members,<\/strong> please click here to watch a brief video or<\/em> read the notice.<\/a> If you have any questions after watching\/reading this announcement, please email me at: info@AstrologerCoach.com<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Monday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong>. It will journey there until Tuesday night<\/strong>\/Wednesday very early morning. We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.<\/p>\n We tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired — but we also have a high degree of independence — and taking these two influences together, this means we’d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.<\/p>\n As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.<\/p>\n Monday early morning<\/strong>, we have the opportunity to connect and collaborate with like-minded people, have an adventure, or simply do something that gets us excited about the future.<\/p>\n Monday late morning, at 9:55am EST<\/strong>, the Sun changes signs from practical, cautious, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn<\/strong> to freedom-loving, forward-thinking and objective Aquarius<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until February 18th<\/strong>. For the next four weeks<\/strong>, we have advancement and progress in our hearts.<\/p>\n We want to get off the beaten path, leaving behind old and outdated ways of thinking and doing, throwing off personal and social conditioning those restrictions, limitations and inhibitions that may once have felt safe, but now feel constraining.<\/p>\n Our idealism runs strong, but we can have some fixed ideas about how we want to accomplish these ideals although we are open to new ideas in theory, in practice we may actually be quite stubborn. Finally, we are also definitely more aware of the impact each individual has on the whole of society.<\/p>\n All this is especially true if you are a Leo<\/strong> or Aquarius<\/strong> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an Aquarius<\/strong>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo<\/strong>, you are more objective than usual working towards a vision for the future might be just the thing for you to do.<\/em><\/p>\n Monday at 11:46pm EST<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for a little over 24 hours until 12:00am EST <\/strong>(Tuesday night\/Wednesday very early morning). Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life and your need to go within and get quiet. You may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow.<\/p>\n Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind with yourself — and as always with a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a>, as best as you can, don’t…<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER?

You may also want to plan Monday late evening until Tuesday night ahead of time.<\/p>\n Tuesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in truth-seeking Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em> and VoC<\/a> all day<\/strong>. We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.<\/p>\n As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.<\/p>\n Given that the Moon is VoC<\/a> all day<\/strong>, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new \u2014 stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. If you read this before Monday at 11:46pm EST<\/strong>, plan your day ahead of time! (see Monday morning, and Monday late evening for more details)<\/p>\n Tuesday night<\/strong>\/Wednesday very early morning at 12am EST<\/strong>, the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Friday morning<\/strong>. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.<\/p>\n Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals.\u00a0Our reputation becomes very important to us.<\/p>\n As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying “I am doing the best I can and that’s all I can ever do” \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Saturn is the ruler of\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong>; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.<\/p>\n For starters: Do you truly see “what’s so” in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where “A” is, it’s easier to “go from A to B” — whether “B” is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.<\/p>\n Wednesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Tuesday night\/Wednesday very early morning for details)<\/p>\n Wednesday very early morning<\/strong>, we are invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. As best as you can, make space for looking into some alternative exercise programs or holistic approaches to your personal projects and current long-term commitments. Compassion is key \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Wednesday early morning<\/strong>, we are invited to connect with like-minded people, and learn something new about our unique talents or value to the world. We are better able to connect to anything that involves a long-term commitment. We perhaps might also implement revolutionary business practices or government programs that support our values and make life tangibly more enjoyable. Wednesday early afternoon<\/strong>, an opportune Sun\/Chiron aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 1:03pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until Friday evening. <\/strong>This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing that could support our vision for the future and bring us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.<\/p>\n We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths — how might this be true for you?<\/p>\n Until Friday evening<\/strong>, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities — so “opportunities” are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow — we have to “take” them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-4 degrees of Aquarius, Aries, Gemini <\/strong>or Sagittarius<\/strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo<\/strong>\u00a0(the Sun rules Leo).<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday evening:\u00a0<\/strong>we get an opportunity to be very present with others and keep each other grounded yet inspired. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to your interactions: What if you let yourself connect with others in a gentle way, supporting each other in realistic, practical ways?<\/p>\n Thursday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Tuesday night\/Wednesday very early morning for details).<\/p>\n Thursday very early morning<\/strong>, a challenging Sun\/Uranus aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 1:54am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday night <\/strong>(Jan. 19th) on, it will remain strong until this Saturday night<\/strong> (Jan. 25th). <\/strong>This aspect asks us to stretch a little. We can’t expect much of anything this week… except the unexpected!<\/p>\n Future visions and humanitarian causes — especially those connected to like-minded people — are quite likely to experience disruption, calling for flexibility and creative solutions.<\/p>\n During this transit, we feel a great need to make progress, as we feel quite restless — maybe even anxious — but if we’re unclear on what is in our best interest, we might focus on things that don’t serve us in the long run.<\/p>\n As best as you can, go with the flow and stay open to experiencing something new and wonderfully unexpected; if you can, put off making major decisions for the time being… “haste makes waste” during this aspect \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n You can think of this as “reorganizing” time — like rearranging your furniture — try not to resist the reorganization. Enjoy the ride\u2026 and remember: it only feels uncomfortable because it\u2019s new and different. Could you allow yourself to be comfortable with being uncomfortable? Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 0-6 degrees of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo<\/strong>, or Scorpio,<\/strong> or 29 degrees of\u00a0 Capricorn<\/strong>, Aries, Cancer, <\/strong>or Libra<\/strong>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius<\/strong> or Leo<\/strong> (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius).<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday morning<\/strong>, an opportune Venus\/Jupiter aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 8:07am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday on and it will be strong until Saturday evening. <\/strong>We have an opportunity to grow within our social and spiritual relationships at this time. Humor and caring play a big role in our interactions with others.<\/p>\n We can call upon tolerance, optimism, compassion, and cooperation when dealing with our business relationships now. Financially speaking, things are “on the up”; we may have opportunities now to expand our pocketbooks — if we make decisions that are in alignment with our intuitive knowingness.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-14 degrees of Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, <\/strong>or Scorpio?<\/strong> If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra<\/strong> or Sagittarius<\/strong> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday at 9:08pm EST<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for a little over 11 hours until 8:20am EST<\/strong> (Friday morning). Use this intuitive time to experience a sense of maturity, and commitment towards yourself and your long-term goals; for long-term success, focus on long-term projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment.<\/p>\n As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a>, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday evening until Friday morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n Also, Thursday<\/strong>, Uranus resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station (now in direct motion). What has come up in the last four weeks around radical change (financial or otherwise) and freedom around self-worth issues? How are you doing with honoring your own individuality or idiosyncrasies?<\/p>\n Friday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> and VoC<\/a> until 8:20am EST<\/strong>; at that time<\/strong>, the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Sunday evening<\/strong>. With this Moon placement, we often feel emotionally detached; when we do connect to our feelings, it’s typically from a cerebral, intellectual place. We need a cause or project that resonates — preferably one where we can connect with like-minded people.<\/p>\n For the next couple of days,<\/strong> we’ll tend to be more eccentric or experimental; future-related issues like politics or education call to us now, as do unusual or even esoteric subjects like Astrology, UFOs… indeed anything from outer space. Our scientific approach to things leans on originality and ingenuity; we definitely love being unconventional.<\/p>\n The increased value we place on personal and emotional independence could make us come off as indifferent or cold in one-on-one interactions. That said, we can still be friendly and kind, provided we aren’t pushed into doing something conventional or unethical.<\/p>\n Friday afternoon, 4:42pm EST<\/strong>, the New Moon in almost 4.5 degrees of Aquarius<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact. This is the beginning of a new Moon cycle.\u00a0\u00a0I also recommend you watch my video on the subject.<\/a><\/p>\n This New Moon is also\u00a0the\u00a0end\u00a0of\u00a0Eclipse season<\/em>;\u00a0we have received our consciousness\u00a0upgrades, and can now move forward with any intentions we set in late December.<\/p>\n With the\u00a0New Moon\u00a0in\u00a0freedom-loving, forward-thinking\u00a0Aquarius<\/strong>, we have our eye on the future. The highest, lightest vibration of Aquarius<\/strong> gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life — and we are ready to make improvements.<\/p>\n Aquarius<\/strong>\u00a0also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness.<\/p>\n At its best,\u00a0Aquarius<\/strong>\u00a0stands for equality and diversity, innovation and reform, collaboration and community;\u00a0we strive for progress.\u00a0The challenge here is to unite and transcend differences of gender, race, and cultural or religious backgrounds.<\/p>\n To move even further into that higher, lighter\u00a0Aquarian<\/strong>\u00a0vibration,\u00a0ask yourself\u00a0the following questions<\/strong>: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might “group consciousness” help humanity make progress? Where might I begin?<\/p>\n At a denser Aquarian<\/strong> vibration, we feel… Click here to read the whole New Moon article and get all of the New Moon Coaching Questions<\/a> (available for all Members of my online community by Jan. 21st the latest).

If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.<\/em><\/p>\n The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions<\/em> for this month’s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely\u00a0not\u00a0during a\u00a0Moon void of course\u00a0phase.<\/a><\/p>\n So this month,<\/strong> the\u00a0best time and most potent time to set intentions<\/em> would be any time between 4:42pm EST (<\/strong>Friday, Jan. 24th) and 2:06pm EST<\/strong> (Saturday, Jan. 25th).<\/p>\n If you live in a timezone other than EST<\/em> (US East Coast-time), and converting time-zones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Fan-page<\/a> and\/or following me on Twitter.<\/a> I will post reminders, several times, to let you know when it is time to set your New Moon intentions<\/strong> \ud83d\ude09\u00a0For more info about Setting Intentions<\/strong>,\u00a0click here<\/a>.\u00a0https:\/\/goo.gl\/TijxuK<\/p>\n Saturday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Friday morning for details). It is also Chinese New Year<\/em> today! I am not very well-versed in Chinese astrology, so I’ll just share an excerpt from an online source<\/a>: “Today is the start of the Chinese year of the Metal Rat. This year can mean a new beginning in terms of international relationship and social order…”<\/p>\n Saturday morning<\/strong>, an opportune Mercury\/Mars aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 8:09am EST. We started to feel this aspect from this Thursday morning on; it will be strong\u00a0until next week, Monday morning <\/strong>(Jan. 27th). This aspect provides an opportunity to connect thought to action. Body and mind can align; words and deeds connect with ease. As with any opportunity, we have to “take” this one: it will not happen by itself.<\/p>\n What actions are calling to you today? How might those actions be connected to other like-minded people… or a vision you have for humanity’s future?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-18 degrees of Aquarius, Sagittarius, Aries, <\/strong>or Libra<\/strong>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo<\/strong> or Aries<\/strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)<\/em><\/p>\n Saturday early afternoon<\/strong>, we have the opportunity to connect and collaborate with like-minded people, have an adventure, or simply do something that gets us excited about the future.<\/p>\n Saturday at 2:06pm EST<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for a little over 28.5 hours until 6:44pm EST <\/strong>(Sunday evening<\/strong>). Use this intuitive time to connect with others, and share your vision for the future. Could you permit yourself to get in touch with your unique spark — and communicate your divine genius?<\/p>\n As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a>, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon until Sunday evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n Sunday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius<\/strong><\/em> and VoC<\/a> until 6:44pm EST; at that time<\/strong>, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until next week, Wednesday morning<\/strong> (Jan. 29th). This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.<\/p>\n But… that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.<\/p>\n It’s also a great time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”. Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them — in fact, “going with the flow” is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<\/p>\n Sunday evening<\/strong>, a challenging Venus\/Mars aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 8:37pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Monday evening<\/strong> (Jan. 20th) on; it will be strong\u00a0until next week, Saturday<\/strong> (Feb. 1st). This aspect asks that we stretch ourselves with regard to the feminine\/masculine dynamic as it manifests both \u201cinside\u201d and \u201coutside\u201d: A shift needs to occur.<\/p>\n This can show up in several ways, either through romantic and sexual tensions that we might experience with others. We may tease each other, flirt with each other and\/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.<\/p>\n Balancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.<\/p>\n If we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure — or just for being still and “adventuring” into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions — on the one hand, we want to feel “one” with others, and connect through love and kindness… While on the other hand, we want to be free and explore something new, outside of our familiar environment.<\/p>\n What might it look like, if you made room for both of these energies?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 10-22 degrees of Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo <\/strong>or Gemini<\/strong>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra <\/strong>or Aries<\/strong> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries).<\/em><\/p>\n Sunday night<\/strong>\/Monday very early morning, we get an opportunity to be very present, to connect with others and share a new vision about the Earth, or to reinvent how we connect with “the good things in life”. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to who you are being; allow yourself to intuitively share some progressive, new ideas about what is important to you, and things that could make yours and other people’s life easier on a very practical level.<\/p>\n A heads up for next Monday (Jan. 27th)<\/strong>: the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Sunday morning for details). In the afternoon<\/strong>, a Venus\/Neptune alignment in almost 17 degrees of Pisces<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact at 3:00pm EST; we started to feel this aspect from Jan. 24th on; it will be strong\u00a0until Jan. 30th<\/strong>. In the evening<\/strong>, the Moon in Pisces<\/strong> sextiles Jupiter in Capricorn<\/strong>, exact at 8:13pm EST.<\/em> More about all the details in next week\u2019s forecast \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Join me for the next FORECASTING FORUM, Sunday, February 9th at 11:30am EST<\/strong>\/8:30am PST\/4:30pm GMT.
