Astrolights Jan 2021

The firestorm is not quite over. After a power packed month of controversy and stress, we have a new Moon in Capricorn conjuncting Pluto on the 13^th. The changes that have been brewing are now, essentially, “etched in stone.” The day after the new Moon on the 14^th Uranus turns direct in Taurus. Taurus rules our finances, possessions, resources, and how we value ourselves. Uranus manifests unexpected and/or sudden changes. Three days after turning direct Uranus is Squared by Jupiter from Aquarius. This will bring tremendous pressure on how we view and handle those Taurean qualities. The square of Jupiter in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus makes those resources accessible to those who aren’t within the sphere of those who we consciously and willingly support.

We may now have less of a say in how our resources are applied by those outside of our family unit. Since our bodies are part of our possessions and resources, we may have even less of a say in who has access to it. On the outer edges, this may mean that we may have no say in rejecting a mandatory vaccine if we wish to participate in public functions. As the Sun moves into Aquarius on the 19^th and the Moon moves into the first quarter in Taurus on the 20^th and the Sun conjuncts Saturn on the 24^th the vaccination requirements we fear may be legislated (Pluto in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces squaring the nodes).

On the 28^th the Moon becomes full in Leo. This in combination with Jupiter and Saturn moving into Aquarius will become a rude awakening for the generation with Pluto in Leo (1937-1957). The opposition will bring awareness as all oppositions eventually do. The assumed power and control held by them for so long will begin to evaporate like a mouth on cotton candy. The torch will gradually be passed to the Pluto in Virgo generation (1957-1971) who will then assume the reins of power and control. This generation is in process of slowly learning that the service they refused to give their elders is now undermining them (Neptune in Pisces) relative to their own children and how they have encouraged them to look out for themselves rather than consider the needs of and service toward others.

When we get to the 30^th Mercury will turn retrograde in Aquarius. Things will slow down a bit and we will have the space to examine the major changes we have been through and converse about them. Remember, this is NOT a time to begin new endeavors, sign contracts or expect easy communication with others. Contemplate, ponder, and adjust things that have already been done that don’t quite live up to what you’ve expected of them. This is a time for adjustment and reflection. Mercury will turn direct on February 21^st. Then we can begin anew.
