Sunday, JANUARY 23

The inferior conjunction of Mercury and the Sun occurs this morning, giving us a unique window into the past as it might impact our future. This is a good time to process recent events and ideas. We begin looking at problems or issues from a fresh perspective and a new understanding.

Significant new ideas are born at this time, and they’re likely to have real staying power or importance in our lives. What we say or write now has an impact, for better or worse! However, we may not have all the facts necessary to reach a definite conclusion, and we might later have to revise plans or decisions.

Mars spends its last day in Sagittarius (it will enter Capricorn tomorrow) and forms a semi-square to Saturn today. We can be debating what action to take. Since efforts to push forward seem to meet with resistance or circumstances seem to block our efforts to assert ourselves, patience is necessary now.

The Moon spends the day in Libra.
