Weekly Astro Forecast for January 29 – February 4:
The New Moon occurred in the zodiac sign of Aquarius on January 28 at 0:06 AM UTC. The New Moon phase sets the stage through February 3 and this will be the time to commit to personal goals to get things done. You’ll probably feel more driven and motivated, or you might get hit with a touch of spring fever and decide to clean out all the cobwebs and make new changes.
Sunday, January 29. The Sun (what you want) Semisquares Saturn (restrictions) at 01:34 AM UTC. You might feel restricted or blocked when you try to get from point A to point B, or feel like you are wasting your time, or you need to wait something out and have a little talk with yourself so you do not let the situation get the best of you.
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 New Moon begins void-of-course at 5:52 AM (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Aquarius. You might be focusing on your friends and social connections, or looking at your obligations with these connections.
Meanwhile, the New Moon makes an ingress and finds its new home in the zodiac sign of Pisces at 4:10 PM UTC. With the Moon in Pisces the energy shifts and you might tend to have more sympathy for others – just don’t fall for a sob story and get used.
Mercury (how the mind works) Conjuncts Pluto (power and transformation) at 08:21 PM UTC. With Mercury holding hands with Pluto, you might feel more focused. You are on a mission to get to the bottom of something, or you might decide to cut through the mumbo-jumbo to get to the truth to find the answers you need.
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!
Monday, January 30. No transits today, read Sunday.
Tuesday, January 31. Mercury (how the mind works) Sesquisquares North Node (the future) at 02:48 PM UTC. You might meet the bump in the road today and need to change your plans, or you might find yourself in a waiting place to see how things pan out on a later date.

Wednesday, February 1. Mercury (how the mind works) Squares Uranus (the awakener) at 03:31 AM UTC. With Mercury holding hands with Uranus, Mercury becomes the trickster and you might experience something unexpected. Your mind might feel awakened with a new idea that comes out of nowhere, or you might want to abandon your normal routines, or leave someone or something hanging until you are ready.
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!
Thursday, February 2. Today is Groundhog Day in the Northern Hemisphere. Tradition associates this day with the first time a groundhog peeps out of its winter refuge. If the critter sees its shadow, it will be frightened, return to its hole and take a nap for another 6 weeks (6 more weeks of winter). If the day is cloudy, the groundhog will not be frightened and will stay above ground. This action is supposed to indicate that the weather has taken a turn for the better and spring is on the way.
Mercury (how the mind works) Sextiles Chiron (the wounded healer) at 02:30 AM UTC. You might open up and want to communicate with others, or decide to bury the hatchet with someone, or you might open up with someone about the problems you are going through and are reaching out for help.
The planets like each other and cooperate and inspire each other, bringing you into a new creative opportunity to take for a spin.
Mercury (how the mind works) Squares Jupiter (luck and expansion) at 03:15 PM UTC.

This is not a good day to travel or start something new.
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 New Moon begins void-of-course at 4:50 PM (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Aries.

Friday, February 3. The New Moon makes an ingress and finds its new home in the zodiac sign of Taurus at 1:49 AM UTC. With the Moon in Taurus, you might feel more romantic, or decide to spend more time with family, or find yourself in nostalgia, thinking about the past.
Mars (the troublemaker) Inconjuncts North Node (the future) at 05:24 AM UTC. You might need to adjust your thinking, or make a detour to achieve something important to you.
The planets don’t understand each other and cannot merge. They are in conflict and you might need to make an adjustment because you may force something to happen!
The Sun (what you want) Semisquares Venus (what turns you on) at 02:34 PM UTC. You might get irritated with someone, or feel upset because you cannot get what you want. It’s best to turn this energy into something creative that will benefit you, not something that irritates you.

Saturday, February 4. The first quarter Moon occurs in the zodiac sign of Taurus on February 4 at 4:18 AM UTC and this energy sets the stage through February 10. 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.
Mercury (how the mind works) Semisquares Neptune (the spiritual awakener) at 11:48 AM UTC. You might have a hard time sifting out the illusions from the facts, or you might have a hard time thinking something through. This is not a good time to sign on the dotted line, or start something new, rather it’s a time to kick back, read a book, or go to a movie, or just chill for the day.
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 third quarter Moon begins void-of-course at 10:41 PM (Greenwich Time) in the zodiac sign of Taurus.

See you next week.
