The Cosmic Tea: January 27-February 2
It’s the week of the Lunar New Year! I personally want to take this opportunity to reboot this year, already. This week has a potentially challenging beginning, but the new moon mid-week promises us something grand and we begin Black History Month with the sweet balm of Pisces energy.

We start the week strong with the moon in Capricorn. This is good energy for Monday. Capricorn is productive, systematic, and efficient. If you didn’t make your to-do list yesterday, today’s the day to make it. While productive energy is great, the moon struggles in this sign. The moon wants to care and nurture while Capricorn’s main objective is to to provide and discipline. these are opposing energies and can be remedied by awareness. Being stern with yourself is not self care. So if you do have a tough day today, you can ask yourself “Am I being too hard on myself and/or others?” and re-calibrate accordingly.

Mercury in Aquarius will merge energies in a conjunction with Pluto in Aquarius. The messenger and the dark lord coming together can bring forth powerful conversations, deep thoughts, and difficult news. When Mercury is in conjunction with any planet, the insights of that planet are interpreted by Mercury, helping us understand more clearly the lesson(s) it offers us. Pluto is all about power and Mercury acts as a megaphone. Collectively, I think we will clarify our understanding of the inner-workings of the powers that be and become aware of how those forces may be working nefariously against us.

Happy Lunar New Year! There will be a new moon in Aquarius today, giving us the opportunity to set intentions and infuse them with Aquarian energy. How can we incorporate the themes of Aquarius into our lives? Where can we benefit from friendship, eccentricity, disruption, detachment, and innovation? This new moon is sitting awfully close to Pluto, so I believe it will influence the things we may want to see come into fruition. How can we wield our collective power against the face of oppression and the dark forces in our lives?

The sun will be in harmony with Jupiter in Gemini. This looks promising for us! I’m seeing good news, here. Jupiter is a helpful planet. It’s all about abundance, growth, expansion, and luck. The aspect happening so close to the new moon infuses our intentions with a sense of optimism which is the perfect fertilizer for our hopes and dreams. It says, “Go big with those new moon intentions. Only good will come of it, so what have you got to lose?”

An exalted Venus in Pisces will merge with Neptune whose feeling cozy in its home sign of Pisces. Connection, beauty, and art come together with escapism and spirituality. This is delicious medicine for all of the Plutonian ugliness we have endured the past couple of weeks. Venus is super-powered when in Pisces, donning a pair of rose-colored glasses in which it views everything romantically and with compassion. Venus in Pisces merged with Neptune helps us to see the good in any and everything and understands the interconnection shared by all living things, making connection much sweeter.

The moon is in Aries! Beware impulsive action and the need to start a fight. Its a great day to get your body moving and do the thing you have been putting off. Aries energy is about taking action here and now. It propels us forward, head-first and with little regard for anything but the big prize. Be brave and be bold, but also remember to be kind.
The Cosmic Tea is a general temperature check of the cosmos for the week. Some of these planetary movements may be felt personally or they may go unnoticed. Each of us has a unique astrological make up designed by the cosmos at our time of birth. Some of us may have planets in our birth chart that ease the more challenging aspects in the sky, currently or they may exacerbate them. Some may experience planetary shenanigans in their home life and others will experience the same energies in their career. All this to say, if you want to know how all of this may show up for you personally and what planetary defenses you have in your arsenal, I can certainly be of assistance. Just book a Transit Reading with me and we can decipher all the planetary shenanigans and how they might manifest for you!
