Week of 1.11.16
Hit Refresh!
The ultra-cool vibe of the do your own thing Aquarius Moon on Monday will feel like a breath of fresh air after last week. And with Mercury running up to speed, albeit still backwards, we’re starting to acclimate to the pace of the Retrograde. As long as you focus on projects/plans/relationships already underway, you could get a lot done. You may even be able to make inroads into that huge backlog of work you’ve been dreading to tackle. Might as well. With strict Saturn still chaperoning alluring Venus, it’s not likely there’ll be any tempting diversions to distract you.
Moonstruck?
Ahhh. We glide into a dreamy haze midweek, as the ever vague and wistful Pisces Moon is bookended by two full-day Void Moons. I see this whole period of time as an opportunity to replenish our spirits and revise our visions. But if even that seems like too much work, put yourself on autopilot and cruise. You’ll have the wind at your front on Wednesday (Get it? Mercury’s Retrograde, so you’re going backwards…uh, never mind) when the Sun and Jupiter team up to help you clarify your long-term goals and evaluate how you’re going to getting there. Remember, the Void Moon periods (Tuesday until 6:53p and Thursday from 11:31a to 9:47p) while unpredictable and not great for making concrete plans, do offer inspiration and a chance to think outside the box. They also present plenty of opportunities and excuses (in the form of delays, cancellations and general confusion), to escape responsibility — and reality. Should you need to, that is.
Snap Out of it!
Get set to go into overdrive on Friday when the Moon enters action-packed Aries. This could prove to be a very busy day, filled with a great sense of urgency and lots of activity but not a whole lot to show for it. You’ll no sooner start one project, when another more urgent matter crops up. By day’s end, you’ll have lots of starts, few finishes. Frustrating? Probably. But just remember that you have the rest of Mercury Retrograde to tie up all those loose ends.
WEEKEND FORECAST
Spontaneity rules! With the Moon in impulsive, me-first Aries, do whatever YOU feel like doing, whenever YOU feel like doing it. At least on Saturday. Aries loves action, so outdoor sports or a competitive game of indoor racquetball could be just the thing to make the most of all that good Aries energy. The Moon goes Void on 6:26p Saturday, so be flexible and stay open to changes to your evening that just may turn out better than the original plan. The Moon will be in earthy Taurus all day Sunday prodding us to spoil ourselves with sensual indulgences. The possibilities are endless, but modesty (yours) prevents me from being too explicit here. All I’ll say is: Enjoy!
