The first Full Moon of the year falls on January 17th and it’s filled with emotional intensity as there’s an unearthing of the past, of things long buried and deeply rooted and many of the memories and feelings that go along with it.
This influence puts the spotlight on family and parents- particularly the mother, as well as patterns rooted in childhood, protection, safety and security, care, support, feelings of belonging, nurturing and early conditioning. This phase can bring to the surface things to be purged and transmuted, things like anger, resentment, jealousy, power, control, abuse, trust and betrayal.
This phase could be a bit rough, but as the Cosmic dust settles, leaving you with a renewed emotional outlook, eventually feeling freer, traveling lighter and liberated from all that’s held you back.
The Sun, Pluto and Juno sit across the sky in Capricorn putting a focus on transforming the makeup of many of your relationships.
On another level, there may be changes on the domestic scene. Perhaps you’re doing renovations or rearranging your personal space.
Neptune in Pisces also sends an ethereal vibe to the Full Moon allowing space for you to be reflective and meditative, playing out mini movies in your mind.
Mars in Sagittarius close to the Galactic Center, is motivated by Divine Wisdom and Truth to get past illusions, giving the guts to delve into, explore and to alter emotional states and patterns of relating.
Venus in Capricorn is still retrograde until the 29th enabling you to assess the framework of your relationships, your finances and your sense of self-worth.
Venus and Uranus in Taurus clash and are in a holding pattern through the first week in February due to Venus being retrograde and Uranus moving to direct motion after several months of traveling retrograde. This influence serves as a wake up and shake up to get you out of complacency and comfort where your love life, relationships, values and earnings are concerned.
As Uranus in Taurus moves to direct motion, events will accelerate, and senses continue to awaken at a rapid rate.
Also worth mentioning, the first Mercury retrograde of the year starts just a few days before the Full Moon, on the 14th through February 4th. Some general rules of Mercury retrograde are to repeat, revise and review; this is a period for covering old ground not for starting something new. During this phase, you could reconnect with people from your past or breathe new life into an idea or plans that have been placed on the back burner.
The Lunar Nodes also change signs, moving into Taurus and Scorpio for the next eighteen months. While the Nodes of the Moon are not planets, they’re mathematical points in the sky which are likened to the Cosmic GPS, symbolizing the past and the future, Karma and Destiny. While they traversed Gemini and Sagittarius the past eighteen months, the focus was on communications, information, beliefs, ideas and worldviews. Now, for the next year and a half, they will highlight areas of comfort and security, material matters and Earthbound things, values, banks, loans, currencies and credit, trust, intimacy, sex, secrets, things taboo and matters of life, death and rebirth.
Full Moon Blessings and Good Vibes to ALL!
