We begin the new year with a New Moon in Capricorn inviting you to be an impeccable steward in your life. Jupiter squares the nodes to support you to expand your faith and compassion to shift limited dogmatic narratives. At the end of the week, the Sun joins Venus (in retrograde motion) to seed a new 20-month cycle of being more real, honest and mature in relationships and with resource stewardship.

Jupiter returns to Pisces inviting you to find a renewed faith in how to open your heart. Mercury, Venus and Pluto all connect in Capricorn challenging you to tell yourself the truth about the systemic changes you must make in relationships. The New Moon in Capricorn ushers in the new year with a call to align with greater purposefulness, integrity and sustainability.

A very full week of Venus (the Relational One) turning retrograde conjunct Pluto (The Transformer) beginning a 6-week underworld journey of transforming relationship and value patterns that need releasing. Chiron (The Wounded Healer) goes direct inviting you to initiate outer healing by bravely being more visible with your authentic self. Winter Solstice and the returning of the light comes this week.  And the last of the Saturn-Uranus square cycles completes supporting you harvest the challenging lessons of this year about balancing order and chaos.

Venus turns retrograde in Capricorn marking a 6-week phase of shifting old dysfunctional relationship patterns and getting more honest about where to put your life energy.  Also, Chiron turns direct in Aries inviting you to courageously risk being more authentic and move beyond resentment of others because they don't accept you.

A week to question attitudes that hinder you being in your own depths. The Sun and Mercury square Neptune inviting you to check if you're aligned with your visions or under a spells of hopelessness. Later in the week, Venus and Pluto join together initiating a 3-month journey of intense realignment with your deepest values.

Neptune goes forward this week in Pisces inviting you to open to greater visions and hopes while compassionately nurturing the parts of you feeing caught in hopelessness and overwhelm. At the end of the week a new moon solar eclipse in Sagittarius supports us to find new ways to follow our aspirations and spiritual wisdom that lies underneath our grasping strategic mind caught in its certainty about everything!

This week, the Sun, Mercury and the South Node dance with one another in Sagittarius offering  opportunities to catch up with yourself. Open to  insights and deeper meanings about all the immense shifts and changes you, your beloveds and our world has experienced.  Recognize past stories and perspectives that need to shift. Honor deeper beliefs that source you now.
