- We may be more decisive than usual, as always use caution …
- Be careful about saying yes to everything right now, we might feel like we can handle more, but when the time comes we could be sorry we took on so much at once.

Notes:
Venus moves into the sign of Pisces on January 26th @9:33pm (ET) @6:33 pm (PT).

- Venus is the planet of love and money, she rules Taurus♉ and Libra♎ .
- Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, some say that Pisces folks carry with them a remnant of all of the zodiac signs. Pisces is compassion and duality.
- We may be feeling more compassionate within our relationships, we may also be open to more deception regarding the relationships that are closest to us.
- We want to help, we want to please, we want everyone to be happy and carefree… or we may be expecting others to take care of us, do as we want or believe that we need.
- When it comes to money, we can be frugal or a spender, especially if it’s on pretty things for our loved ones… Pieces of art and home décor may also “call to us” during this time.
- If it’s in the budget, why not go ahead and spend a bit, however, be sensible if it’s not the budget. Pisces is capable to being budget conscience, which means that this could be a good time for bargain hunting.
- While Venus in Pisces will affect all of us, those with the following in their birth charts are bound to feel the affects the most:
- Venus in Pisces
- Sun in Pisces
- Venus in the 12th house
- Sun in Libra
- Sun in Taurus
The Moon and Astrology
&
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 off 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 off Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-off-Course moon…
-
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.

The Sun enters into the sign of Aquarius ♒ on January 20th @ 3:30 am (ET) @ 12:30 am (PT). Aquarius is the opposite sign to Leo on the wheel, so whatever affects Aquarius folks will also affect Leo’s, although to a much lessor extent. Aquarius ruled by the planet Uranus, is like a “jack of all trades”, These folks enjoy group, team or community work, and many exhibit humanitarian tendencies. Our Aquarius brothers and sisters, have a uncanny ability to “see into the future” especially when it comes to new fangled technology or tools of their trade. Creative and intelligent, with a bit of a stubborn streak, and sometimes a bit of an “airy fairy” attitude to life, Aquarius, while being an air sign, who are mostly resistant to confrontations, has a rebellious side and they aren’t afraid to bring it out at the oddest of times… (A direct Uranus connection, Uranus is the planet of chaos and surprises.) The Sun is said to be in Detriment when in he sign of Aquarius. When a planet is in detriment, the energies of that planet are less prominent, perhaps, weaker… For Aquarius this may translate into a hesitation when it comes to doing things for ones self. You may put the needs of others before you own… This is fabulous, but only if it doesn’t lead to negative self talk or feelings of resentment when time run short and you can’t get to do the things you enjoy. Growth is possible with the Sun in Aquarius, however, such growth may not go as one would have anticipated. Let your light shine anyway, especially on that most special of days, the day that you were born… 😁
We wish all Aquarius (January 20th to February 19th 2023) an absolutely fabulous Born Day… 🎂🍨🍰
