• Lunar position ~ Capricorn until Aquarius at 8:44 AM PST (VOC til 8:43 AM PST) – Avoid intolerance and approach your interactions with others in a balanced and respectful manner, lest you find yourself on your own today. If that should occur, set off on your own adventure and channel your excess energy into something more creative. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
• Significant Aspects that may inspire or inform magickal workings:
  • Stelliums (3 and/or 4 point power interactions)
    • Moon/Mercury/Jupiter/Saturn – describes effective, intuitive, optimistic communication with others
    • Mercury/Jupiter/Saturn – interactions that are both expansive and logical
    • Mars/Uranus/Lilith/Ascendant – describes out of the box thinking and risky behavior
    • Sun/Pluto/Midheaven – describes a narrow-minded or self-absorbed approach with wide mood swings possible. Lots of emotional drama with this stellium, including a lack of objectivity and intensity.
  • Thor’s Hammer (Jupiter, Uranus, Vesta) involves a diligent and patient approach to hard work, and success
  • Sun (10th/Capricorn) conjunct Pluto (10th/Capricorn) – describes development of powerful leadership skills
  • Mercury (10th/Aquarius) sextile Juno (7th/Sagittarius) – involves an ability to express oneself in a compassionate manner to others signaling a career that centers on justice or the helping profession
  • Venus (9th/Capricorn) trine Mars (12th/Taurus) – describes balancing relationships with others and an independent nature
  • Venus (9th/Capricorn) square Chiron (12th/Aries) – indicates a need to reconcile feelings of rejection and compassion or empathy for others
  • Mars (12th/Taurus) square Jupiter (10th/Aquarius) – signals excessive behavior and a lack of self-discipline
  • Mars (12th/Taurus) square Saturn (10th/Aquarius) – indicates balancing movement forward with hesitance and a conservative approach (Note: look at this one in relation to the square with Jupiter)
  • Jupiter (10th/Aquarius) conjunct Saturn (10th/Aquarius) – describes balancing freedom with restriction and the need for self-discipline and structure.
  • Jupiter (10th/Aquarius) square Uranus (1st/Taurus) – suggests moderation in expression and desires
  • Jupiter (10th/Aquarius) sextile Chiron (12th/Aries) – intuition is strong and will assist both yourself and others
• Ascendant – Taurus – signals a practical, pragmatic approach, structure, stability, favors routine, careful planning and decision-making, organized. Aspects follow:
  • Mercury (10th/Aquarius) square the Ascendant (Taurus) involves when to speak and when to remain quiet and the manner in which you communicate your thoughts to others
  • Venus (9th/Capricorn) trine The Ascendant (Taurus) suggests charm and warmth in one’s relationships with others
  • Jupiter (10th/Aquarius) square The Ascendant (Taurus) involves moderating your expansive personality (note the square below with Saturn as well…illustrates the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction issues we’re currently experiencing)
  • Saturn (10th/Aquarius) square The Ascendant (Taurus) suggests exercising self-restraint
  • Uranus (12th/Taurus) conjunct The Ascendant (Taurus) indicates unique self-expression and individuality as well as a potential for non-conformity
• Polarity – Masculine (7), Feminine (16) – receptive energies provide the strongest impact…time to watch and observe, and expression compassion and integrity
• Elemental Influence ~ Earth (material matters, security) energies provide the strongest influence with Fire (will) non-existent, Water (emotions) having a small effect, and Air (intellect, reason, balance) having a stronger effect than Fire and Water.
• Energetic Quality/Mode ~ Fixed (stable) energies provide the strongest influence. With Mutable in a weaker position, flexibility and adaptation may prove challenging
• Rays ~ The 4th Ray of harmony through conflict increases today as does the 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science, joining 1st (will/power), 3rd (active intelligence), and 7th (ceremonial order/magick) Rays in having the greatest impact on our decisions and perceptions. The 4th Ray concerns harmony through conflict and is likely influencing the impeachment proceedings today at the Capitol in DC. The 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science is also having an effect on the expression of truth. Both the 2nd Ray (love/wisdom) and the 6th Ray of devotion and idealism are significantly less of an impact which has contributed to the focus on conspiracy and away from scientific or objective truth. The 2nd Ray acts as a counterbalance to the 6th, and if in balance, it can provide a wiser influence on the cult-like effect of the 6th. In their present strength, there’s not much clarity happening as people caught up in the con are trying to figure out just what happened. The unraveling will be difficult.

• Black Moon Lilith ~ Taurus — remaining in your comfort zone is tempting, but it also signals an unwillingness to take risks toward a better outcome. In the 1st House of self and identity, the risk may involve balanced self-expression. A conjunct with Uranus suggests you don’t like restriction while the same with Mercury indicates interactions with others could be difficult.
• Node influences ~ N Node – Gemini; S Node – Sagittarius describes the need for self-control and a focus on a spiritual perspective. The challenge involves understanding the viewpoints of others as well as expressing your own in a helpful manner. A square continues between Neptune in Pisces and both the North and South Nodes signaling a focus on fantasy or imagination and suggests that maintaining your physical health will help ground and center your perspective and provide a foundation for creative success.
• Lunar Phase ~ New on 12 Jan 2021 at 9:01 PM PST at 23°Cap13; 1st Qtr on 20 Jan 2021 at 1:02 PM PST at 01°Tau01
• Mansion of the Moon ~ 24th – Caadacohot – 25°Cap42’52”; star of fortune; increases compassion between married people, military victory, obstructs government
• Retrograde ~ Uranus (allow for the unexpected and focus on change from within)
