Weekly Astro Forecast for January 8 – January 14:
The first quarter Moon occurred in the zodiac sign of Aries on January 5 at 7:46PM UTC Time and this energy sets the stage through January 11. This Moon phase brings you into the time of “Check-Point-Charlie,” the time of needing to check to see where you’re at and determine if you need to change something or work harder to realize a dream or accomplish something important to you.
Sunday, January 8. With the V.O.C. Moon in the zodiac sign of Taurus you might be looking at how you are spending and saving your hard-earned money. But with Mercury turning direct today (and still in its shadow period of unpredictability), and Venus in a confusing aspect with Uranus (unexpected changes), you might be tempted to spend your hard-earned money, or make a big purchase, or your budget might be running on empty and not allow you to do what you want to do, or you might feel an emotional connection to get something off your chest.
The Transits for Sunday
The first quarter Moon begins void-of-course at 2:33 AM (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Taurus.
William Lilly, a famous astrologer, said that when the Moon is void-of-course in the zodiac signs of Taurus, Sagittarius, Pisces, and Cancer, the Moon can still perform its duties!
Mercury turns direct but will still be in its shadow period of unpredictability until January 27th. It’s not a good idea to make any BIG DECISIONS until Mercury leaves the shadow period.
Venus (wants, needs and desires) Semisquares Uranus (the awakener) at 02:39 PM UTC Time. You might have a hard time agreeing with someone, or need your space today, or feel restless, or experience something that catches you by surprise, or feel impulsive and go on a shopping spree and will need to pay back the piper (the credit card company) at a later date.
The planets don’t understand each other, but you’ll probably feel determined to move forwards without a clear understanding of what you are getting yourself into.
Venus (wants, needs and desires) is in Opposition with the North Node (the future) at 07:28 PM UTC Time. You might decide to let go of someone who does not love you or support you, or you might have a change of heart and realize that you were looking for friendships and love in the wrong places.
The planets don’t like each other and you’ll feel torn or divided by circumstances and experience an inner struggle that needs to be resolved before you can move forwards.
The first quarter Moon makes an ingress and finds its new home in the zodiac sign of Gemini at 9:57 AM UTC Time. With the Moon in Gemini, you might have this emotional need to communicate with others, or feel like a chatterbox today because you have a lot to say, or you might need to get something off your chest.
Monday, January 9. With the Moon in the first quarter phase, in the zodiac sign of Gemini, you might decide to work harder to realize a dream, or accomplish something important to you. But with Venus (what turns you on) in a confusing aspect to Jupiter (the wonder woman or superman feeling), you might overdo it and spread yourself too thin, or you might get yourself into something without thinking it through.
The Transits for Monday
Venus (wants, needs and desires) Sesquisquares Jupiter (expansion) at 10:34 PM UTC Time. You might push yourself too hard, feel restless, or overstate your feelings about something that you should have kept close to your chest. You might have a hard time resolving something, or make a promise that you cannot keep, or spend your hard-earned money and go on a shopping spree.
The planets don’t understand each other, but you’ll probably feel determined to move forwards without a clear understanding of what you are getting yourself into.
Tuesday, January 10. With the V.O.C. Moon in the zodiac sign of Gemini, you might be looking for some information to help you make a decision, but with the Sun making a hard aspect to Uranus (unexpected changes), and the Sun unable to shake hands with the North Node (the future), something might go haywire or you might experience a disappointment. And later, when the Moon finds its new home in the zodiac sign of Cancer, you might have a hard time shaking something off.
The Transits for Tuesday
The Sun (what you want) Squares Uranus (the awakener) at 04:21 PM UTC Time. You might experience something unexpected, or experience delays, or have a hard time getting from point A to Point B, or feel overstimulated and take action on something without thinking it through, or lose your patience and say something you should not have said, or feel driven and have a hard time burning off the energy.
The planets are experiencing tension and you’ll feel challenged to release what you’ve been holding on to so you’re not restricted, but you might walk into a nasty storm if you’re not careful!
The Sun (what you want) Sesquisquares North Node (the future) at 04:21 PM UTC Time. You might have a hard time getting something done that is important to you. It’s possible that you will not have the support you need, or the timing is not right to follow through with what you want to get done.
The planets don’t understand each other, but you’ll probably feel determined to move forwards without a clear understanding of what you are getting yourself into.
The first quarter Moon begins void-of-course at 9:38 PM (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Gemini. This is not the time to take risks because the void-of-course phase is the time when Pandora’s Box might open and the unthinkable happens, or you might feel tired and want to shut down and rest.
Meanwhile, the first quarter Moon makes an ingress and finds its new home in the zodiac sign of Cancer at 10:48 PM UTC Time. With the Moon in Cancer, you might feel oversensitive and have a hard time shaking sometime off.
Wednesday, January 11. With the Moon in the first quarter phase, in the zodiac sign of Cancer, it will be a good day to focus on your goals or solve existing problems thanks to Mars (the planet of action) shaking hands with Pluto (the planet of power and transformation) and the Sun making a favorable aspect to Chiron (the healer). You’re going to feel more aligned and focused on what you want to get done and have an inner knowing that you are on the right track.
The Transits for Wednesday
Mars (the troublemaker) Sextiles Pluto (power and transformation) at 07:14 AM UTC Time. You are going to feel more focused and want to act on an important goal, or something important to you and have a deep inner knowing that it’s the right time to put your plans into action.
The planets like each other and cooperate and inspire each other, bringing you into a new creative opportunity to take for a spin.
The Sun (what you want) Sextiles Chiron (the wounded healer) at 11:34 AM UTC Time. You might feel like you are on a mission to solve a problem because you feel more confident, or feel it’s the right time to bury the hatchet with someone you had a disagreement with and let it go.

Thursday, January 12. Uranus makes an unexpected aspect to the North Node (the future) and you might decide to make a change, or decide to experience something new or different and get hit with a reality check, or meet an unexpected obstacle. Meanwhile, with the Full Moon in the zodiac sign of Cancer, something might come to a head that you did not expect, or you might start fact checking everything, or your intuition might be on alert or pushing you to take caution before you follow through with something important to you.
The Transits for Thursday
Uranus (the awakener) Sesquisquares North Node (the future) at 02:18 AM UTC Time. You might experience unexpected changes, or make a decision and change your direction to live a dream, or make a BIG DECISION to start living for the future and let go of what was holding you back.

The Full Moon occurs on January 12 and this energy sets the stage through January 18. Since the energies of the Moon will only decrease, weaken, and wane after this point, the Full Moon is the time to either celebrate or to abandon the path that has failed to serve you. The seed you planted during the New Moon phase has grown and blossomed or remained stunted and miserly.
The Full Moon begins void-of-course at 11:33 AM (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Cancer.
William Lilly, a famous astrologer, said that when the Moon is void-of-course in the zodiac signs of Taurus, Sagittarius, Pisces, and Cancer, the Moon can still perform its duties!
Mercury (how the mind works, how we think and communicate) enters the zodiac sign of Capricorn at 02:03 PM UTC Time. You start a new cycle of change and your mind might feel challenged, or you might start fact-checking everything.
Venus (what turns you on) Conjuncts Neptune (the spiritual awakener) at 09:53 PM UTC Time. Your intuition might feel awakened, or your psychic abilities might be expanding, or you might decide it’s the right time to start a relationship, or attend an event with friends, or maybe you had a vivid dream regarding an important message about a future event that you are going to follow through with.
The stars like you today. The planets are united and agree with each other because they are very close, but might send you into a blind spot because you’re too close to a situation!
Friday, January 13. The day starts out with a V.O.C. Moon in the zodiac sign of Cancer, and you might be thinking about connecting with friends, family, or co-workers, but when the Moon finds its new home in the zodiac sign of Leo, you might follow through and connect with the people you are thinking about.
