Monday, Jan. 27th:

Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day. It will journey there until Wednesday morning. 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.

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.

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.

Monday very early morning, if we are awake at this time, 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.

Monday afternoon, a Venus/Neptune alignment in almost 17 degrees of Pisces becomes exact at 3:00pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Friday on, it will be strong until this Thursday. It asks us to dissolve anything that keeps us from opening our hearts more fully. This connection makes us dream of Soul connections with others.

We are highly romantic and may turn a blind eye to "what is", in pursuit of a fantasy that we want or need to have fulfilled. Beware of anything that sounds too good to be true -- whether that's in connection with people or money -- it might indeed be "too good to be true" ;-)

On a more positive note, this combination also makes it easier for us to forgive others and ourselves -- we can see the divine potential in others and therefore lean towards a compassionate approach.

Ask yourself: What needs my forgiveness and higher love (myself included)? What needs to dissolve or melt away, for my heart to be fully open?

What is my current relationship to the divine? In what ways could my imagination support that relationship? What might happen if I let myself be held by the divine? Might I be able to trust life and its mysterious ways more easily?
