This week in Astrology: The Good, Bad and the Ugly
Inspired by my new favorite series, The YOUNG POPE / The NEW POPE, I find this song haunting me and a perfect fit for the end of this month. January has brought a lot of toxic ‘shit storms’ but also a lot of growth and peace within. Knowing you can overcome and prevail, DESPITE, shows one their true level of strength and integrity.
The GYPSY TRIBE spent time working on New Moon in Aquarius, but also banishing, and this was fun to see what people were dispelling and how/why. I meditate to this song as I look to the last few days of this month:
Monday January 27, 2020
Today's optimism is fraught with inflated expectations. The atmosphere is especially chaotic, lacking patience or clear guidelines. We may be inclined to focus on 'extenuating circumstances' instead of cutting directly to the 'simple facts' that are right in front of us. Complications only seem to cloud the issues we are trying to sort out. It is likely that 'reason' will eventually prevail but our impatience could create particularly cumbersome stumbling blocks. Asking for more time to make any decisions is probably the only way to escape the confusion here.

Mars moves past the square to Neptune today and Venus escapes the square to Mars. We may find that there is some 'clean-up' — especially if we have shown some immaturity or impatience. Nonetheless, there are deep wells of faith to be 'plumbed' today which allow us to show our compassion and confidence. Rather than focus exclusively on our own creative vision, today offers opportunities to understand better and delve more deeply into the creative vision of those around us. In the long run, we will find that our own vision is enhanced by the process. The Moon goes VOC at 5:08 PM PST.
Wednesday January 29, 2020
We have some hope of finding a 'thread' of creativity to follow today which effectively demonstrates our unique insights, perspectives, and abilities. Independence is powerful here. We may find ourselves spontaneously shifting our position or approach, with incredible success. Learning and sharing are both well supported with even the minimum amount of self-discipline and perseverance. Optimism is open and natural. The inflated optimism of the past few days dissipates and we begin to look for ways to take action, overcome any adversity, and lay the groundwork for new initiatives and ideas.

Ceres leaves austere Capricorn (with enthusiasm) and arrives in free-thinking Aquarius. Ceres instills us with a desire to feed our creative vision with expansive insights. However, balance and self-direction are required in order to make the most of the new feeling of freedom that is felt. The desire for achievement is strong but we are less inclined to sacrifice any integrity to follow our vision. The spirit of adventure feeds our determination even when we face obstacles or power struggles. As Venus approaches sextiles to Pluto and Saturn, we may find ourselves making increased demands on our allies and we may need to watch out for pushing too hard or asking too much of others.
Friday January 31, 2020
The Moon is VOC for much of the day today, from 7:09 AM PST until 4:27 PM PST. It may be very easy to 'get out over our skis' as we seek to express the new feeling of freedom. Any impulsiveness is only likely to create further obstacles down the road. The pull between taking action or 'keeping the peace' is will keep us 'on the fence' for much of the day today. Although we may feel strong creative urges, we won't make much progress until the Moon arrives in Taurus this evening, when the 'flood gates' open up.
