January 1 through January 31 2018

There is a super full moon eclipse January 31.

A super moon is when it is close to earth, causing higher and lower ocean tides, and a greater pull on our emotions.

Could it be the excessive cold reflected by Saturn, the Sun, Venus and Pluto all in the cold, winter sign of Capricorn with Mercury joining Jan 11. ? If so, this line-up continues for a while. Venus leaves Capricorn January 17,  Mercury leaves Capricorn January 31, and the Sun leaves Capricorn January 19. Saturn and Pluto will be in Capricorn for a while.

With many planets in Capricorn, the established, law-abiding governments are stronger, and may be challenging the revolutionaries or activists. This also means the signs of Aries, Cancer and Libra are challenged and Capricorn is more visibly active and vocal than usual. 

Jan 1: The year begins with the Moon going into Cancer at 03:10:02 am, and becoming a full Moon at 09:24:01 pm in the signs of Cancer and Capricorn. These two signs will be the most affected, focusing on trying to balance family & emotions with duty & being stoic. Aries and Libra may have a challenging day, too. Tension is over family and work. Scorpio and Pisces can help Cancer, with Taurus and Virgo helping Capricorn. For those in law enforcement and medicine, the areas of hte body for this full Moon are the stomach & breasts, and the skin & bones, especially the knees.

Jan 2: opportunity for a  vacation day, good for escape or romance. Capricorn and Pisces have the opportunity for collaboration on a creative project. Also a good day for Taurus, Virgo, Cancer and Scorpio. Uranus goes direct at 24 Aries 34. It has been in the 24 degree point all of December and will be through February 3. If you have this degree in your chart, it will be noticed; how depending upon the relationship or aspect transiting Uranus makes. Aries is more catalytic than ususal, with Libra experiencing relationship challenge; Cancer and Capricorn experience challenging, circumstances. Contact Patty for your personal guidance.

Jan 3: Moon goes into Leo. Nice day for romance and shopping. Your loved one may be practical but giving. Practicality applied to creativity works well.

Jan 4: Quincunx, see-saw Moon in the signs of Leo and Capricorn who are off balance. The day does not go as expected, but when you are flexible with the minor change, it is better. Taurus and Virgo can help Capricorn; with Aries and Sagittarius helping Leo.

Jan 5: Moon goes into Virgo.

Jan 6: Sun and Moon are compatible in the signs of Virgo and Capricorn, giving them and Taurus a nice, calm day .Also, communication regarding change is good, and a good day for Sagittarius, Aries and Leo. Also, a project of transformation or reorganization is pushed and could be financial. Scorpio is focused and persistent. Scorpio energy is the strongest today, so Taurus could have financial opposition, with Leo and Aquarius experiencing financial control issues. Cancer and Pisces can benefit financially, Gemini pay think they are being opposed, but it is only new information.

Jan 7: Moon goes into Libra.

Jan 8: Quarter Moon in the signs of Libra and Capricorn, who experience challenges, along with Aries and Cancer. Energy between Scorpio and Capricorn reveals  opportunity for practical financial or money situations. Prices of expensive items may be drastically cut; there is an opportunity for reorganization of a project to be successful. The day is all about being frugal, practical and reorganizing, probably money. The air signs of Gemini, Libra and Aquarius; and fire signs of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius  may think they are ignored because of the above interests.

Jan 9: Moon goes into Scorpio. The Sun joins Venus, both joining Pluto at 19 degrees of Capricorn. The weather may be very cold.  Focus on career, business, practical projects and perhaps the elderly.
