Full moon Jan 26 2013

This month's full moon is in Leo on January 26 at 11:39 pm EST. The Sun is in Aquarius and the Moon is in Leo. Aquarius relates to the collective consciousness and the world at large. Leo relates to the individual. When the Aquarius Sun reflects of the Leo Moon, we are reminded that each individual affects the global consciousness. What we think and feel matters not only to ourselves but to the collective as well. The full moon shines the light on what is hidden or unconscious, urging us to bring this issue to the light for healing. Mercury, the planet of communication is close to the Sun, highlighting the need to speak your truth. Jupiter, the planet of faith, hope and belief went retrograde in October, and goes direct once more on January 30, encouraging us now to think big and have faith and hope in ourselves. The asteroid Vesta turned retrograde in October and goes direct January 26, twelve hours before the moon is full. Vesta relates to the feminine principles of home, hearth and family and asks each of us to create the home and family life we have been dreaming of.

New Moon in Capricorn Jan 11 2013

The new moon this month occurs in Capricorn on January 11, 2013 at 2:44 pm EST. Both the Sun and the Moon are in Capricorn, an earth sign that is known for its practicality, realism and ambition. It also relates to responsibility, hard work and resources. Mercury, Pluto, Venus and the asteroid Juno (partnership) are also in Capricorn, adding to the intense energy of Capricorn. Look at the upcoming year with new eyes, seeing life in a new way, yet still being practical and responsible. Are you waiting for a miracle in your life? Or do you view every day as a miracle? Capricorn relates to power as well, and with Pluto in Capricorn now until 2024, the world will be redefining its definition of power. True power lies within, and love, truth, creativity, community and good health are the real sources of our power.
