Friday, JANUARY 2

The Moon continues its transit of Gemini until 8:10 AM EST, when it enters Cancer.

Chiron stations and turns direct today after retrograde motion since July 30th. The Chiron retrograde period in Aries has been one of reassessing our mental health and healing journeys, programs, or efforts.

With the direct shift today, we can feel vulnerable–emotional truths about matters we’ve been avoiding or confused about are beginning to emerge now and in the coming weeks. These may not always be comfortable, but they can motivate us to take appropriate action.

Mercury aligns with Juno today, stirring a strong desire to learn, reason things out, and gain knowledge as a means to empower ourselves. We seek a mental connection or rapport with others.

Later today, a Sun-Uranus sesquiquadrate comes into play, and we may want to make a move, but we may not know where to begin or how to proceed with our intentions for now.

While unexpected changes in plans or events can test our patience, they may also lead to new approaches, resulting in useful, instructive, or interesting detours.

The Moon is void from 7:24 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Neptune), until the Moon enters Cancer at 8:10 AM EST.
