Astrology for 1/9/2024

The Moon shifts into Capricorn this evening. Until then we are still feeling adventurous and excited about what is to come. Our enthusiasm is infectious, and we bring with it hope for a better world. But the Capricorn Moon asks us to back up what we dream with actions. We will feel the burden of choices laid out in front of us in ways that will require a great deal of our attention. That is not a bad , but it now feels more important than ever.
Add to that, the Sun will semi-square to Saturn and the Sun will also trine to Uranus. Seems we can hear the train coming because we have our ear on the tracks. Progress is making its way forward and while for some of us this has been painfully slow, when that train arrives, the speed moving forward is going to force us to leap rather than quietly walk through the door. That is because the doorway is now above us. The door we seek is not on the old or normal trajectories. We are going to have to leap to a new place that holds a better promise than what we have been given currently.
Some may miss that they need to leap. Fear makes them like deer and deer never look up to see that is potentially above them.
We are in a time when the unusual seems to have a greater pull and the unconventional seems terribly appealing. We want to be seen as an original in this world. But so does everyone else.
We will learn to move by loosening the reins that we are holding too tightly. A horse literally cannot leap up if you are pulling its head back. We are learning to let this new self find its own ways to move in the world. Excitement is right there, and we have much that we will discover is we are willing to just stop trying to control everyone and everything. While we need to be grounded and a part of this reality, we must also know the goal and aim for that dream. The astrology favors the movement later this evening when Mars sextiles Saturn.
Take the necessary time and put in enough energy to get something going. But don’t overdo. This is a long 20-year race and rushing is not going to get you to the finish line first. In fact, we are going to need take our time so we don’t miss essential steps along the way. Ambition is good but attention to detail might work better if you give it a chance. Today, is great for sorting things that are no longer needed. It is time to shed a lot that has been dragging you down.
