Yearly Astrology Trends Calendar

Sunday, JANUARY 19

The Moon continues to transit Scorpio until 5:42 PM EST. Its sextile to Saturn this morning is solid and practical. However, we should watch for taking on too much or wasting energy with a semi-sextile between Mars and Jupiter. We might want very much to be productive but somehow go in circles, primarily because we may be overreaching until we settle on a plan and take things step by step. The Moon enters Sagittarius at 5:42 PM, bringing on a livelier spirit. It sparks our desire to learn, explore, and discover.

The void Moon occurs from 4:22 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to the Sun), until the Moon enters Sagittarius at 5:42 PM EST.

Monday, JANUARY 20

Venus forms a semi-square with Pluto and then later with Saturn today, which can mean we’re running hot and cold at times today or wrestling with our feelings. We can be quick to jealousy at one moment, and then cool with our affections and emotionally distant later on. Anxiety or troubles regarding matters concerned with the feelings and affections are likely.

Despite this, Venus forms a trine to the North Node, and we are more dedicated than usual to creating harmony. We make an extra effort to be agreeable and cooperative, and this attitude helps us reach our goals. We could feel lucky in love or business, and we might make a fortunate connection.

The Sun enters Aquarius today and will transit the sign until February 18th. During this cycle, we are motivated by our need for knowledge, experience, and originality. Innovation is more important to us than convention. We become more aware of what is outdated in our lives, and we strive to find new perspectives and methods. The class distinctions, structure, and order that Capricorn found appealing now seem to be too rigid. The freedom of the individual becomes far more significant to us. We strive to free ourselves from some of the restrictions, inhibitions, and limitations that now feel constraining rather than safe in the month ahead. The Moon spends the day in forward-looking Sagittarius.

The void Moon occurs from 11:46 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Neptune), until the Moon enters Capricorn on Wednesday, January 22nd, at 12:01 AM EST.

Sun enters Aquarius

Sun is in Aquarius from January 20-February 18 2020. During this cycle, we are motivated by our hunger for knowledge, experience, and originality. Innovation is more important to us than convention. We become more aware of what is outdated in our lives, and strive to find new perspectives and new ways to do things. The class distinctions, structure, and order that Capricorn finds appealing now seem to be too rigid. The freedom of the individual becomes far more significant to us. We strive to free ourselves from some of the restrictions, inhibitions, and limitations that now feel constraining rather than safe.

Sun in Aquarius

Tuesday, JANUARY 21

The Moon spends the day in Sagittarius and is void until the end of the day. The Sagittarius Moon is spontaneous and curious. New situations of conquest or adventure are appealing, and we require less prompting than usual to get moving and to experience life. Bored with the mundane, anything that breaks the routine is appealing now. With the Moon void-of-course all day, it’s best to avoid beginning all-new projects. As well, we’re approaching a semi-square between the Sun and Neptune, and we can be more indecisive than usual. Our willpower may be on the low side as we stray from our goals and temporarily lose focus. Concentrating on artistic or spiritual pursuits is better than focusing on matters that require straightforward, factual thinking just for now. This aspect reminds us to get in touch with our spiritual goals or ideals.

The Moon is void all day (until a minute into the day tomorrow).

The Moon is New in Aquarius on January 24, 2020, at 4:43 PM EST.

The New Moon in Aquarius marks the beginning of a new cycle. The Capricorn New Moon cycle ends and the Aquarius New Moon cycle begins. In the sign of Aquarius, friendship, brotherhood, group activities, social pursuits, group projects, trying something new, humanitarian efforts, or joining a group will be a strong focus. New beginnings regarding any or all of these matters are possible now.

This is a time during which we should solve problems that require thinking “outside of the box”; look to the future with a brand new, positive, and hopeful vision; brainstorm and socialize; focus on extending a friendly hand, receiving support, and expressing platonic love for those around us; give our emotions and passions a “break”, as we develop more objectivity and some detachment from past haunts; learn how something (or someone) works; revitalize ourselves through experiences that are new or simply different; reach out to people in our social circle and in our community, and recognize the value of our friendships and social networks; recognize that some level of detachment and distancing ourselves from our habits and attachment to the past will help us break away from destructive behaviors that are holding us back. With this potent Aquarius energy, we have the chance to make progressive changes in our lives. For some of us, circumstances are such that we need to pay more attention to these matters.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 4 degrees and 22 minutes of Aquarius, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 0 to 8 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.

Mercury enters Pisces

Mercury is in Pisces from February 3-March 4 2020. When Mercury is in Pisces, our thinking processes are more visual, intuitive, and imaginative. We are especially attuned to the world of emotion, which colors both our thoughts and our communication style. We guess well, express ourselves with imagery, and make decisions intuitively. We are more attracted to consciousness-raising information.

Mercury in Pisces

Venus enters Aries

Venus is in Aries from February 7 to March 4, 2020. In Aries, love is spontaneous and direct. The chase is very exciting to us under this fiery influence. We are bold, fresh, and a little impatient when it comes to matters of the heart. We don’t look back with Aries energy. We are not interested in saying sorry or dwelling on the past. It’s a brand new day! It’s time to make things work right now.

Aries is known for a love of the chase and the conquest, but Aries love can be longstanding as long as it remains relatively fresh. Aries is blunt–there’s no sugar-coating with Aries. This can sting, but rarely is Aries energy mean or petty. Saying it like it is is important to Aries. Desires are strong and expressed spontaneously, enthusiastically, and directly. Aries prefers to seduce rather than be seduced, to chase rather than be chased.

The Moon is Full in Leo on February 9, 2020, at 2:34 AM EST.

Full Moon in Leo Chart: February 9, 2020

The Full Moon in Leo marks the beginning of a new cycle.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 20 degrees and 0 minutes of Leo, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 16 to 24 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.

Mars enters Capricorn

Mars is in Capricorn from February 16-March 30, 2020.

Mars in Capricorn is deliberate, persistent energy. We consider the future and the consequences before taking action during this cycle. Our energy is reliable and faithful. We are slow to anger but can be quite cold if we are frustrated. The shadow side of Mars in Capricorn is rigidity.

Mars in Capricorn

Mercury now turns retrograde at 12° Pisces 53′.

Mercury is retrograde from February 16, 2020, at 12° Pisces 53, until March 9, 2020, at 28° Aquarius 13.

The shadow period begins on February 2, 2020, and ends on March 29, 2020.

Mercury Retrograde Cycle from February 16 to March 9, 2020:

Mercury Retrograde Cycle: February to March 2020

Sun enters Pisces

Sun is in Pisces from February 18-March 19, 2020. With the Sun in Pisces, we are guided by altruistic feelings. We are less motivated to do than we are to feel, imagine, and dream. A “what will be, will be” attitude reigns, and we are guided by a sense of universal correlations. Pisces rules empathy, selfless love, devotion, and wisdom. Its shadow side rules self-pity, a feeling of being victimized by life, passivity, and elusiveness.

Jupiter sextile Neptune

Jupiter at 17° Capricorn 45’ forms a sextile to Neptune at 17° Pisces 45′ on February 20th, 2020. This is the first in a set of three.

With this longer-term aspect, idealistic and humanitarian goals or impulses surface now. Making connections with others from a different background may figure. Widening our minds through unusual or different experiences can be part of the picture. Practical considerations could take a back seat now. Generosity and compassion increase and our faith are boosted. We more easily make personal sacrifices for what we believe to be the better good.

Jupiter sextile Neptune dates:

1st: on February 20th, 2020, at 17° Capricorn 45′ (first)

2nd: on July 27th, 2020, at 20° Capricorn 39’Rx

3rd: on October 12th, 2020, at 18° Capricorn 45’ (final)

The following is the New Moon astrological chart wheel for this Pisces New Moon.

New Moon in Pisces Chart: February 23, 2020

The New Moon in Pisces marks the beginning of a new cycle. The Aquarius New Moon cycle ends and the Pisces New Moon cycle begins. The New Moon in Pisces is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Fish. These include taking a leap of faith, accepting imperfections in ourselves and in others as a different kind of “perfection,” starting a project that requires imagination and visualization skills, consciously putting time aside for peaceful and rejuvenating activities, and sharing a dream with another. With this potent Pisces energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives.

This New Moon is especially creative and forward-looking with its harmonious aspects to Mars, the Nodes of the Moon, and Uranus.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 4 degrees and 29 minutes of Pisces, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 0 to 8 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) most significantly.
