Astrology by Lisa Stardust
As we approach the end of January, get ready for some exciting shifts ! On January 27, Mercury in Capricorn forms a supportive sextile with the North Node of Destiny in Pisces. This connection is all about bringing those fateful experiences our way, so keep your eyes peeled for opportunities that feel like they were meant for you.
Later that day, Mercury moves into Aquarius, inviting us to shake things up mentally. It's a chance to break free from old beliefs and embrace new ideas. This transition is perfect for rethinking how we view the world and our place in it.
Coinciding with this change is the New Moon in Aquarius, which also marks the start of the Lunar New Year. Welcome to The Year of the Wood Snake! This fresh lunar cycle encourages us to set new intentions and goals. It’s a time to get clear about what we want moving forward.
On the same day, Mercury teams up with Pluto in Aquarius, ramping up our emotions and communication. You might find conversations becoming more intense, revealing deeper truths and insights. It’s a great time to have those meaningful discussions that can lead to personal growth.
Then, on January 30, the Sun aligns with Jupiter, which is currently in retrograde in Gemini. This powerful connection helps us expand our understanding of ourselves and others, giving us a broader perspective on life. It’s an excellent opportunity for reflection and learning.
Also, on January 30, rebellious Uranus in Taurus finally goes direct after a retrograde period that started on September 1, 2024. This shift means we can finally break free from any stagnation and make the changes we’ve been contemplating. It’s time to embrace growth and evolve with what feels right for us.
February 1 will be a particularly dreamy day, thanks to a beautiful alignment between Venus, Neptune, and the North Node of Destiny. This cosmic trio encourages us to manifest love, confidence, and to let our unique talents shine. So, whether you're looking to attract new relationships or simply boost your self-esteem, this is the perfect day to set those intentions.
Overall, this period is all about transformation and new beginnings. Embrace the changes, stay open to the signs, and let your heart lead the way!
Witch-tip:
Hold a rose quartz close to your heart as you meditate on how you can show yourself more love and compassion. With every breath focus on your goals, inviting positivity within. Opening up your heart will lead to an elevated mindset and confidence. Do this exercise everyday — especially on February 1— to ensure you're bringing in greatness and manifesting self-esteem.
Aries
You attract more bees with honey, which is why you should use your kind heartedness to assert your views. It’ll help those on the opposing side understand the errors of their ways and change their opinions. They want to be heard out — a sentiment that we‘re wanting to achieve.
Taurus
It’s a wonderful time to embrace your unique sentiments. All of your life, you may have felt that you walked to the beat of your own drum. Now, you can live your life on your terms without caring what other people think. The same can be said about your beliefs.
Gemini
Humanitarianism is strong, motivating you to step up your charitable game. It’s a great time to commit to a charity and help those who are in need. Giving will help everyone in society strive. Therefore, it’s time to pay it forward. Hopefully, others will be motivated to do the same.
Cancer
The dizzying energy of the week can be illusive and intoxicating. All of the shadier elements can be avoided if you disengage from obsessive thoughts and meditate on yourself. Listening to soft music and taking a bath can shake of all of the negative and shadowy sentiments. Focus on you.
Leo
Get off your soapbox and hear everyone out. By discussing your difference of opinions in a calm manner, you will be able to make the changes that you desire on a grand level. They may even begin to sway their views and start to see your side of the matter.
Virgo
Concentrate on understanding what was said by others and why before rushing to respond with a harsh retort. Should obstacles appear in your path this week, you are likely to swiftly reposition yourself and change the outcome towards one that is in your favor. Use this time as a learning experience.
Libra
Power can be an aphrodisiac for you, as you tend to be attracted to those who are infamous or successful. But, now you are using your authoritative energy to attract others who deem you as the powerful vixen you are (not the other way around, for once in your life).
Scorpio
Discussing your innermost fantasies may make you blush at first, but after you let your desires be known you’ll take on a new empowered stance. Accepting your own kinks is crucial for your personal growth. Embrace your passions. No one’s judging you, but you (please do not do that anymore)!
Sagittarius
The desire to rest and be present in your body could be an issue. To avoid feeling disconnected, take a moment to stretch or workout before moving forward. It might be hard to find the motivation to engage with such a practice, but your body and mind will thank you.
Capricorn
This is an ideal time for brainstorming, so be sure to write down any brilliant thoughts that stream across your consciousness. This is definitely not the week to let your mind power go to waste, so make sure you're engaging with activities and people that allow you to work creatively.
Aquarius
Your sensitive side will be supercharged over the next several days, so do your best to practice psychic self-defense and don't let others take advantage of your kind disposition. Make sure your eyes are open and aware of people’s intentions before it begins to interfere with your objectives and aspirations.
Pisces
The positive vibes will roll in, as a supportive aspect between Venus, Neptune, and the North Node of Destiny will help you open your heart, giving you the gumption to manifest your wildest dreams. Take action to ensure you're directing energy toward the important things that can further your goals.
