Get an early start.  The Skywatch is friendly and good for important calls and meetings this morning. 

The Moon in air sign Aquarius makes a sextile to ruler Uranus at 8:53 am PST encouraging agreements and positive reactions to changes and new ideas you might have. 

Luna then turns Void of Course until she enters dreamy Pisces at 11:44 am.  Hold off on making important decisions and purchases while the Moon is V/C. 

A lazy Moon-Venus square follows at 5:09 pm, but clears skies follow for the rest of the day and night.  

As times change.

Slow down.  A cheery Moon Jupiter sextile at 1:44 am PST is likely to bring positive energy to the breakfast table. 

But there’s a cranky Mercury-Mars square at 2:05 am which is likely to snarl traffic and give some folks a defiant tone and an impatient attitude. 

Clear astrological skies follow for the rest of the day and night- green lights are up for work or play. 

As times change.

Look for a new opportunity today.    Green lights are on as Luna travels through friendly Aquarius Monday morning and sails out into calm waters. 

The Moon sextiles Mars at 7:42 am PST setting up an excellent time for investigating new sources of profit and advice.  Sextiles create times of opportunity and good times to take action. 

Clear skies follow for the rest of the day and night.

As times change.

The Moon meets/conjuncts intense Pluto at  4:12 am PST Sunday morning. But clear skies follow and green lights come on for shopping and important chores.  Notable: Uranus ends a long Retrograde cycle that started last August at 12:26 pm on Sunday.  The good news here is that once this occurs, we have all planets in direct motion for the rest of the month and until March 6 when Mercury goes Retrograde.  All planets direct increases the speed of events and sets up a stellar period of time to work on top priority matters.  And in this case, also a good time to make changes in your life, ruled by Uranus.  Evening skies have a good night kiss as the Moon sextiles Venus at 10:20 pm. As times change.

If your birthday is this week (January 6–12)

You’ve got three planets in powerful home signs in your new Solar Return, Capricorn. The big one is Saturn, your ruler, sitting next to your Sun in this chart of your new year. Work, work, work is his message. Rewards and promotions are likely with lucky Jupiter in his home sign of Sagittarius—a placement that favors travel, education, settling legal battles and expanding your field of action in any way you can. The energy you need comes from eager Mars sitting in home sign Aries in this new SR. Yes, yes, yes, this is the year to put new plans and ideas into motion and to start a new chapter in your life in some way—the Force is with you. As times change.

A New Moon and Solar Eclipse headline the Skywatch this weekend.  New Moons bring good times to plant seeds and initiate new plans.  Eclipses add power to events that occur during this lunation and often bring turning points in our lives. 

Astrological skies are clear Saturday morning, and green lights are up for work or play. The Moon meets dependable Saturn in the heavens at 10:32 am, and this is the signature of this New Moon:  be responsible but also focus on your highest ambitions in the days ahead. 

The Moon also sextiles psychic and imaginative Neptune at 3:02 pm and then meets the Sun at 5:28 pm creating the New Moon.  An offbeat and slightly crazy Venus Uranus inconjunct follows at 12:28 am – expect a little surprise if you stay up late.

Saddle up.  And look outside the box for answers today.

The Moon trines Uranus at 8:10 am PST followed by the Moon meeting Mercury at 9:41 am and then turns Void of Course until she enters Capricorn at 10:55 am.  A compassionate and imaginative Sun sextile Neptune follows at 11:58 am. 

The only quack of the day follows as the Moon squares Mars at 4:05 pm.  Clear skies follow. 

As times change.
