• Some of us may be highly creative while this influence is about, while others may become more connected to their psychic side… 
• Secrets may be told now… we can be enticed to open up to others about our deepest feelings/fantasy’s… take care who you share your “secrets” with.

NOTES:

Mercury enters Capricorn. 

• Mercury enters the sign of Capricorn on January 25 @ 10:05 pm (ET) @ 7:05 pm (PT).
• Mercury is currently in retrograde motion. He rules over such things as technology, transportation and communications. When he is in retrograde motion, we can experience challenges, delays, setbacks and needed repairs. 
• Mercury in Capricorn, may see us being more cautious in our approach to life, to our business, and towards our responsibilities. 
• We may be slower to jump to conclusions as “gossip” isn’t what drives us right now, we want the facts. 
• It’s time to get down to business, time to step up and take responsibility for our actions now and in the future. However, having a completely pessimistic or static outlook should be avoided. 😎

HOW IT AFFECTS OUR DAILY LIVES… 

In astrology, the moon is connected to our emotions and reactions… how we are feeling on a given day may well be influenced by the sign that is visiting the moon… Each sign stays with the moon for up to 2.5 days…. 🙂 

The Moon Void-of-Course: 

There are times throughout the month when the moon isn’t fully immersed in any sign… this is when we say the moon is Void of Course… and when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” and “unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are truly feeling about a situation or a person…. Therefore it is not recommended that we make long-term commitments or important decision’s while the moon is Void of Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-of-Course moon… 

Good for Void-Of-Course Moon:

These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.

• Cancer
• Taurus
• Sagittarius
• Pisces…

Opportunity Periods  

There are other periods throughout the month that are known as Opportunity Periods, when it can prove to be a positive time for most people, however if you have challenging aspects happening within your own chart you may not be able to make use of opportunity periods. 

Thanks to Paula Belluomini present day astrologer, William Lilly 17th century astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods.
