Saturday, JANUARY 27

Uranus stations and turns direct early today. Uranus has been retrograde since September 1st, and with its station, Uranian energy hangs heavy in the air this week. As the planet gains speed in the next few weeks, our urge to express our unique selves, take some chances or risks, rebel, listen to our instincts, and stir up change are reawakened or externalized.

Mercury aligns with Mars in the sign of Capricorn this morning, and both bodies form squares to the North Node of the Moon tonight and early tomorrow. We can be very interested in producing ideas and fixing problems!

The Mercury-Mars conjunction is a good influence for motivated, energetic work related to communications and the mind. Since it occurs in the sign of Capricorn, practical goals may be the subject.

Mercury-Mars excites and over-stimulates our nerves. We want to get to the point so that communications can be insensitive. Keeping busy and making headway satisfies us more than usual, and it’s best to channel excess mental energy constructively. Tensions are possible, particularly as we can be over-excited about an idea or resist considering others’ input.

Later today, the tendency is to overthink, overexplain, or overanalyze, which can be a form of procrastination or emotional avoidance. Possible blocks to our progress might also involve excess ego and/or impatience. Temporarily, our desires can work at cross purposes with what we’re striving to be, making decisions choppy. Impulsive or competitive communications and actions can hinder growth, improvement, and direction. We could also be juggling too many tasks to our detriment.

The Moon moves into detail-oriented, conscientious Virgo at 2:11 PM EST, and we’re zeroing in on problem areas.

We also approach a Venus-Saturn sextile, exact early tomorrow, that encourages a considered, practical approach, particularly in our social lives. It’s a grounding influence that helps stabilize our affections. We place a higher value on security, steadiness, and loyalty.

This transit boosts the appeal of the ordinary and reliable–we appreciate longstanding alliances or tried-and-true pleasures. We are more responsible with others and with our own feelings and affections. Our judgment is sound, and we’re a little more conservative with money under this influence. We can enjoy planning and organizing.

The Moon is void until it enters Virgo today at 2:11 PM EST.
