Good News & Breakthroughs: the Astrology for the Weekend of January 27th - 31st, 2023.

Yes, you read right - I said good news and breakthroughs are on for this weekend (January 27th through January 31st, 2023)!

Now, you might be feeling a little anxious, nervous, or uncertain right now, which is perfectly natural for this astrology.

Uranus is the outer planet that brings big change, and usually by disruption, sudden upheaval, and/or out of the blue insight.  Its methods can have us feeling impulsive, dissatisfied with the status quo, restless, and even rebellious.  It can feel like something big is about to happen but we don't know what, and we don't know if it will be good or bad, and that can lead to us impulsively acting and creating upheaval in our own lives.

Right now, we're feeling Uranus like we haven't in a few years.  That's because Uranus just stationed direct for the first time since 2021 without having Saturn in Aquarius right there waiting to block its expression.  

So you might feel a bit "out on a limb," as not having Saturn in square (and not to Uranus but just in genera) is something we haven't experienced in years.  Collectively, we aren't used to feeling this level of openness energetically right now.  It feels good, but at the same time a bit unfamiliar or even unsafe.  Just keep in mind this is big energy.

It's not just Uranus - Mars and Mercury are freshly direct too as of January.  This means we have all planets in forward motion for the first time since last April.  

But Uranus is the planet of breaking free, breakthroughs, and out of the blue insight, and this weekend, exact on Sunday, January 29th, it's making its third and final flow aspect to Mercury, the messenger.

This sets the stage not for just good news, but also big aha's and fresh insight that have been brewing since mid-December.  These planets are both in earth signs, so this may see us moving forward in very real ways.  

Plus, this is a trine aspect.  It's a positive, or flowing, aspect linking planets at the same degree of signs of the same element - this one happens to be earth to earth - but what it's really best at is speeding things up, so no matter what's been up, now we can expect it to move, and fast - it's going to break free, break loose.

At the same time, this weekend we have Venus freshly into Pisces and Mars in Gemini in trine (that same flow aspect) to the Aquarius sun.

Venus in Pisces is a lovely vibe shift since Our Lady of Love & Money has been in the Saturn-ruled signs of Capricorn and Aquarius since mid-December.  This by itself brings more flow.  Pisces is the water sign of healing, dissolving walls between us, forgiveness, creativity, and even romance, so Venus in Pisces feels really good.

Venus in Pisces also means she is in supportive aspect by sign to Uranus in her own sign of Taurus.  She won't make the sextile exact until a bit later, but we can feel it building already now.  Sextiles are less potent than trines but still positive, and speak to opportunities.  

Mars trine sun is again a flow aspect that speeds things up and helps us rut-bust and break loose, and this one is air to air, meaning it's in the realm of thoughts, words, ideas, and mental processes.  

This aspect is a bit like the Six of Swords in the tarot - it's the energy of victory, of winning.  It brings us confidence and enthusiasm, and boosts us with the courage and motivation to initiate action.

As we move through this weekend, on Saturday, January 28th, we also turn the corner from the waxing crescent moon to the waxing gibbous moon with the first quarter moon.  This is the halfway point between the new and full moon, and as we pass the first quarter moon and move into the waxing gibbous phase it's full speed ahead towards the full moon climax.

We'll feel energized to take action and push towards our goals now as we head into the February 5th full moon at 16° Leo, which just happens to be in square to Uranus and trine to Chiron in Aries.  

This means the big Uranus energy of restlessness and possibly even anxiety is going to be building all week along with lunar energy to the full moon climax.

The key will be to stay grounded and embodied so this energy doesn't push you around! 

I'll be going over this full moon, what to expect, and how to work with it in detail in the lunation report out to subscribers next week, so make sure you are on the list!
