January offers TWO chances for a new start.

In writing this from Atlanta in the midst of 'Snowpocolypse', I'm thinking about the ice melting, the chaos subsiding, people taking a deep breath and everyone looking to move forward tomorrow with a new day. Perfect timing according to the stars.

Tomorrow is not just the 2nd New Moon in January (the first was January 1) signaling a great time to start new resolutions in your life, but this moon comes the day before Venus moving forward AND Chinese New Year (both falling on January 31). I will cover the New Moon and Venus moving forward today. And tomorrow or Friday, I will offer a promise to write about the Chinese New Year. (hopefully I keep the promise!).



Let's start with this New Moon in the sign of Aquarius. Last post, I talked about the Sun in Aquarius and what qualities Aquarius brings (so check that out for more about the sign of the Water Bearer).  We are still in Aquarius season until February 18 and tomorrow the moon will be in the sign as well. The Moon is representative of our emotional nature, and a New Moon is the beginning of a fresh phase…a new start! We will be ready to move forward with the new, shed the past and start to embrace our unique vision of the future. Remember, Aquarius represents the future, one of a kind ideas and marching to the beat of your own drum. Aquarius is also humanitarian, group focused and appreciative of a social circle as opposed to the self.  I'm not sure about the whole U.S., and umm world? but here in Atlanta this city came together as a collective whole to help out fellow humans in yesterday's craziness. Maybe this quality will remain in people's minds as they move forward with the New Moon. There will be an energy of group support and love as folks choose to think differently about a situation and how to move ahead in life.

You may also hear about how this New Moon is a Supermoon. What does THAT mean? It just means that the moon will be extra close to earth. There are 2 of these Supermoons in January! (The first was on January 1st) Two new starts in one month! Powerful stuff. The moon will be closer to us and astrologists believe when the moon is closer, the effect is stronger and more potent than usual.

Alright . . . on to the next topic: Venus moves forward on January 31….two posts back I talked about how Venus has been retrograde since the end of December. We've seen Venus's darker side perhaps/ Venus being the sign of love and money, we've gone back over financial plans, heard from past loves and taken over a month to reassess issues in our minds. But January 31, this lovely goddess moves forward! It's time to take what we've learned in the retrograde and GO! Start the new job, put your financial plan into action, ride the wave of your love life with this new awareness as it moves forward. What have you learned and what will you choose to apply? Don't turn a blind eye to your lessons in love, work partnerships and money, lest you repeat them!



I am gonna steal a quote from a website www.astrology.com.  I thought this was quite insightful and don't want to mash it up.

The danger here is the illusion that by changing partners we can somehow break the pattern when in reality the saying goes, “swap the partner, keep the problem.” In that case, it might be better to take enough time to break the pattern internally before embarking on a new tryst.

  1. We're at the end of our own Snowpocolypse here in Portland…I haven't been able to go to work for 4 days! Feeling quite stuck and I wish these new beginnings were working for me. Rather than putting things in action, I feel like watching Netflix, eating fudge and drinking wine. Oh dear!
