Venus loves Pisces, and Mars retrograde in Leo opposing Pluto in Aquarius ignites a fiery clash between personal willpower and collective transformation, demanding courageous inner reflection and strategic action. Sun sextile Saturn blends disciplined ambition with spiritual wisdom, creating opportunities to turn dreams into practical, lasting achievements through patience and integrity. It's definitely a mixed bag for the weekend Astrology!

January is upon us, and with it, the beginning of a year filled with change. Start the year out right by tuning in to see what the important news is for the first month of the calendar year.

It's a relatively quiet last weekend for 2024 with only one aspect - Venus square Uranus - in play. We will also look ahead at Monday's New Moon in Capricorn, which seems pretty good! And, a last look at the USA Pluto Return.

Christmas week energies have always amazed me, with themes like self-love, compassion, joy, and stillness. Let's see where we get the idea of those energetic themes this morning. As well, there are some big transits for the week ahead.

The Sun enters Capricorn tomorrow morning at 4:21 am ET - the Winter Solstice is upon us! Today, we'll look at a reimagined Capricornia and feminine Saturn.

We are headed toward the Winter Solstice this week, and our Human Design reflects that the light is dying, and yet there is hope. If we focus on even just one pinpoint of light, it expands. A metaphor for this season? Let's find out!

Sunday is the big day of the weekend when we have a Gemini Full Moon followed by Mercury turning Direct. Along with the many connections the Full Moon makes, the day will surely be filled with something! But what? We'll talk about this morning.

This week's themes are integrity in leadership and distributing your true gifts, with the Sun in Gate 26 (integrity) and the Earth in Gate 45 (distribution). It's a much quieter week, but we're still feeling the impacts of last week's changes.

Today is the day Mars turns retrograde and heads right into another opposition to Pluto in Aquarius. It's a very long transit - nearly 6 months! Also, Venus moves into Aquarius today, and Neptune turns direct tomorrow. It's a busy start to the weekend!

The week ahead is cosmically complex. The Nodes (indicators of our collective destiny) shift into new Gates, and then Uranus- the great awakener- shifts Gates. Mars moves retrograde in Leo, Venus moves into Aquarius, and Neptune turns Direct. There are also many planetary aspects to work with. I'll break it all down this morning.
