Weekly Astro Forecast for December 31 – January 6:
Your Weekly Astro Forecast. Uranus turns direct on January 1, 2018. While Uranus was retrograde you had a lot of work to do and you probably felt the hard aspect to Pluto (the transformation planet). Now that Uranus is separating from Pluto, you might be relieved about a breakup, or you might be trying to pick up the pieces and heal your heart. Uranus will make an ingress into the zodiac sign of Taurus (wants, needs and desires) and then you’ll become focused on your financial stability.
The Full Moon occurs on January 2, 2018 in the zodiac sign of Cancer and this energy sets the stage through January 7. Since the energies of the Full 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.
