Tuesday, JANUARY 1

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Scorpio, aligning with Venus and stimulating our desire for more intimacy. The Sun approaches an alignment with Saturn in Capricorn, exact very early tomorrow, and asks us to get serious. We’re reminded of the constraints of time and motivated by the desire to manifest tangible results. It’s “nose to the grindstone” time. We may feel burdened, overworked, or restricted. However, we might also welcome some discipline in our lives. This is a time for working on a revised plan for creating order in our lives or on an old project that requires a new commitment. Emotional energy is not enough to fuel us for the time being; thus we could feel sapped on a physical level. However, recommitting to goals, shouldering responsibilities, and making careful use of our resources could feed our need for structure and order in our lives now.

The Moon is void from 5:27 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Venus), until the Moon enters Sagittarius the next day, Wednesday, January 2nd, at 3:59 AM EST.
