Tuesday, JANUARY 13

First Venus two days ago, then the Sun yesterday, and now Mars forms a square to Chiron today. Old emotional wounds may feel as if they’re wide open. There can be tension and pressure, along with some irritability. It can be challenging to express our desires and anger clearly and directly.

There can also be a tendency to rebel against others’ wishes or plans. With this aspect in play, we may be defensive and touchy. To navigate these challenges, it’s important to connect with what’s cramping our style and bringing us down, which can involve self-reflection.

As the day advances, we head toward a Mercury-Jupiter opposition, stirring our desire to grow and think in big terms. We can be excited and enthusiastic about our ideas and anxious to share them. We need room to explore and create, visualize new solutions to problems, and express ourselves freely.

However, we are inclined to exaggerate, and it’s best to watch for a strong tendency to overstate or overestimate in our quest for meaning. We might swing from implicit trust to skepticism, making it difficult to make good, practical choices. We’re stretching our minds now, and while this is an excellent mental exercise, we should avoid making commitments until we’re more realistic.

We should also watch for scattering our energies or taking on too many activities at once–we could be looking so far ahead that we forget the essential details or disclaimers. Positively, we might entertain possibilities that we wouldn’t normally consider.

The Moon is void from 5:59 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Neptune), until the Moon enters Sagittarius at 6:34 PM EST.
