JANUARY OVERVIEW

LUNATIONS

This NEW MOON occurs on January 2, 2022, at 01:33:20 PM EST! The Lights are kissing in Capricorn and form a double trine to retrograde Uranus in Taurus. Both Retrograde Venus and Pluto in Capricorn form a double sextile to Neptune in Pisces. Jupiter in Pisces tees off with the Dragon on the Gemini/Sagittarian polarity point! All that you have learned and taught seeks to manifest in your World and begins to unfold. There is wiggle room here for ideas and imagination as you share your vision with others. Love it!

This FULL MOON occurs on January 17, 2022, at 06:48:16 PM EST. The Full Moon is on the Cancer/Leo cusp and opposes both the Sun on the Capricorn/Aquarius cusp and Pluto in Capricorn. It companions with the Dragon in an encouraging manner. Retrograde Mercury in Aquarius and Saturn are in square to Retrograde Uranus in Taurus and Neptune in Pisces is in square to Mars in Sagittarius! What a mixed bag!!! Innovative ideas will be scrutinized against the old model. Delays are apt to surface as the wheels of government and corporations turn slowly. Progress is made of both science and art! Work with creative, progressive, and grounded persons if possible. Group efforts prove to be fascinating and can bear fruit in the season to come.

BLACK NEW MOON Phenomenon Coming Up!

The next New Moon occurs on February 1, 2022, at 12:45:51 AM. Because Lunations are time-sensitive it is not a Black Moon on the Eastern Seaboard, but time zones West see it as occurring before Midnight on January 31, 2022. A Black Moon occurs when there are two New Moons in a calendar month, making this a qualifier for distinct parts of the United States. This chart reveals the Lights kissing in Aquarius, conjunct, Saturn, and they form a triple square to Uranus, nor direct, in Taurus! The Nodes or the Dragon has moved to a Scorpio/Taurus polarity point and complement retrograde Mercury and Pluto in Capricorn! History is a stellar teacher at this time. Having a Plan A and a Plan B with electronic or mechanical devices is wise. Security on many levels will be redefined. Pay attention!
