January's Moon Musings......

By Heidi Reeves Rising Sol Astrology

Your monthly guide to what's happening in the astrological world

We Kick start this years Lunar cycle with a Full Moon in Cancer on January 7th at 9:07am AEST

The Moon is at home here in the water sign of Cancer, Which may bring more sensitivity to our emotional realm.

Cancer rules our Home, family, our Roots and ancestors, She is known as the ‘Mother’. These areas will be in focus during this time so it is important to create space to allow your emotions to flow and feel what comes through

While the Sun is shining in the Earth Sign of Capricorn which rules our Public life, career and reputation in the world, the polarity of the Moon in Cancer call us to create balance between the inner and outer worlds

Have you created a feeling of safety within yourself and the home?

Are you allowing your fear of being seen rule your actions?

Where do you need to soften and become more open and receptive?

Full moons are a time of culminations, Shedding and letting go of what is no longer needed. This a time to release old fears and insecurity, especially around feeling seen and feeling worthy.

The end of January brings us a New Moon in the Air sign of Aquarius on January 22nd at 6:53am

The new moon has the Sun and the moon holding hands together so this brings a double Aquarius energy to us!

Aquarius is the rebel of the zodiac They desire freedom, change and anything unconventional!

The New moon is a time of new beginnings, setting intentions and planting the seeds of the future (very fitting for Aquarius).

While the Moon rules our emotions, Aquarius is not so comfortable there so you may be feeling a little detached from your emotions at this time. That can also be a good thing as it allows us the opportunity to become the observer and pull out a little to see things from a new perspective

This Lunation also marks the end of the retrograde cycle for Mercury, Mars and Uranus!!

These retrograde energies have been slowing things down a little and may have felt like you just couldn’t gain the momentum you were after, but now things should start to flow in a more forward direction for a while.

Time to get ready for the new! Aquarius is a futurist and loves to think outside the box and challenge the status quo so this is a great time to start planning your next move….. Change could be coming!
