FULL MOON FORECAST- JANUARY 25 TO FEBRUARY 2

Anyone else feeling that this month went by really fast? Every day seems so filled, it may have been hard to keep up, but we are sure making progress as long as we are staying focused on our goals.
This FULL MOON in Leo keeps that trend going with emphasis on boosting our self-image and self-confidence. The MOON’s opposition to the waning, but long term influential, SUN-PLUTO conjunction with its T-square to JUPITER will likely impel us to expose any unconscious shenanigans we have with going on in our lives, hopefully for positive outcomes. The MOON in Leo is pretty exuberant as it is and as with any Jupiter square, overdoing it is a foreseeable problem. Embodying confident nobility might be your archetypal aspiration for this week. Especially since some of the energies will be coming from the plutonic underworld. Just be willing and able to repair whatever breaches that might occur from any projection or conditioned reactions. !Engage the Four Agreements, my friends! SATURN, still closing its long sextile to JUPITER, will help you ground and stand strong if you let it.

VENUS, the planet of what we hold near and dear to our hearts, is stepping into a trine with lucky JUPITER over the next few days, completing the series of planets in Minor Grand Trine to JUPITER and sextile to SATURN we’ve all felt for the last few weeks. This time emphasizing love, money and harmony building. A pretty good time for relationships to grow. Once again SATURN is supervising the trine from behind the curtain of the sextiles in the Minor Grand Trine so that will help it all stay on track for a responsible outcome.

Later this week, the MOON swings through a beautiful Kite configuration with the aforementioned Minor Grand Trine on the 27-29^th, opposing SATURN. encouraging us to get done what needs to get done with power, grace and style. Don’t waste this opportunity to grow, heal and move forward with your true Dharma. Though it only lasts a short time, this all sets the tone for the first part of 2024 if you use it wisely.
URANUS, the planet of innovation and sudden changes, is strongly emphasized this week too as it stations direct on the 27^th at 19 degrees of Taurus, initiating a juicy period when all the planets are direct. This will be getting extra oomph by URANUS’s trine to the MERCURY-MARS conjunction especially on the last few days of the month, which can incite us to think outside the box, change our minds and make inspired moves if handled well.
Sabian Symbol for Taurus 20 (19°- 20°) is “Wind, clouds and haste. SPIRITUAL FORCES. Energies and beings from other realms expressing themselves through our willing participation. Willing participation with unseen spiritual forces”. Its been in that degree since mid-December retrograde and now direct. It stays theremoves into 20 degrees on March 14.

CHIRON, the mentor, healer and teacher through suffering will also be starting a square to the oncoming MERCURY-MARS conjunction in Capricorn. This can provoke some inspired healing, or expression of old wounds this week. It’s an opportunity to see how far along we all are in our healing journey.

The MERCURY + MARS conjunction that goes on into early February augers witty dialogs, inspired ideas and actions if it does not get us into arguing or tantrums.   The conjunction is squaring the MOONS NODES as well as CHIRON, so it’s a great time to set sail for what your soul came here to do and learn in this life, letting go of the past wounds that have held you back. Hopefully you’ve been mapping that out this last 6 months or at least getting clear on what you don’t want.
So all-n-all, it a kinda epically archetypal start to this year. I’ll be doing an update with Phina Kemper on my YT channel on the day of the FULL MOON and continue next week with the WANING MOON report here .
