Monday, February 1st:
Monday is a big day (astrologically speaking). The Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo. It will journey there until 6:25am EST.
Monday early morning, a challenging Sun/Mars aspect becomes exact at 5:34am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week Monday evening (Jan. 25th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday evening (Feb. 7th). This invites us to stretch ourselves and grow beyond what we know ourselves to be.
We might feel driven by a restless desire to do something; however, without a well-defined future vision, our impulsive actions could involve us in needless arguments, or have us spinning our wheels.
Our reactions might be defensive or competitive. We might not be willing to compromise or negotiate. However, energy output can go high if we choose to watch our body's energy levels -- in other words, if we take care of our body and pay attention to its needs.
Ask yourself: Am I exhausting myself? What is my mind telling me? If my body had its own voice, what might it say that it needs, right now? Could the next action I take come from a place of enjoyment?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 9-16 degrees of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo or Scorpio? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Aries (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries)
Monday at 6:10am EST, we enter a brief
Moon VoC that will last for 15 minutes,
until 6:25am EST. Use this brief intuitive time to gain clarity about what's important to you. Take a moment for yourself, and ask: What works for me in my daily routines? What doesn't? What do I see now, that I can easily implement in my business relationships, that I couldn't see before?
As always with a
Moon VoC, as best as you can, don't start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.
Monday at 6:25am EST, the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Wednesday morning. The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.
We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to "yes" more easily than we might like.
We may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can't make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it's "No" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.
Monday late morning, at 9:05am EST, Venus changes signs from productive, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn to freedom-oriented, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Feb. 25th. This requires that we provide more freedom in our relationships. Basically, we want to improve them, break away from what feels old or stale.
We want our intellectual qualities to be admired; we also want to connect to like-minded people that share our vision — so friendships and networking will be favored for the next 3.5 weeks. We may also consider unusual financial investments. This is a good time for financial undertakings involving the following areas: electronics, technology and the internet, metaphysics, the arts group activities.
Venus in Aquarius will also be in a mutual reception with Uranus in Taurus for the next 3.5 weeks. This means that they are in each other signs and support each other's agenda. This provides an opportunity to bring a common vision and a more human approach to our interactions with others.
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius? Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, this placement will bring...
