This week’s headline items: Uranus remains exalted all week; Venus changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn early Tuesday; the Full Moon in Leo becomes exact early Thursday afternoon — and Uranus in Taurus comes to a halt, ending its 5-month Retrograde phase, very early Saturday morning.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday afternoon (for a little over 1 hour), Wednesday early evening (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Friday afternoon (for almost 10 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, don’t miss those two events…

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, January 22nd:
Monday, the Moon remains inchatty, versatile Geminiuntil 4:51pm EST. Until then, we like to learn, connect, and interact as much as possible.
“Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way… The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged, we might as well curl up and play dead.
Do you want to ask a Question about Uranus’ Station phase in Taurus or Pluto in Aquarius?Email me by Jan. 24th at 11am EST/8am PST/4pm London time. Questions will be answered in the order that they have been received.
Monday at 3:40pm EST, we will enter a Moon VoC that will last a little over 1 hour until 4:51pm EST. Use this intuitive time to balance your need for mentally stimulating encounters with your desire to venture beyond your day-to-day mind to connect with others more philosophically.
What’s the larger picture? What are we here to do? What are we here to be? Why now?
As always, with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon ahead of time.
Monday late afternoon at 4:51pm EST,the Moon enters protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say, and our feelings are thus more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others. Self-care is vital for the next two and a half days.
Emotional safety is also important to us; we like connecting to the familiar, and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure your glass is filled before letting others drink from it; otherwise, you might feel drained and resentful.

On January 25th at 12:54pm EST, the Moon opposes the Sun in 5 degrees of Leo — and this is when this month’s Full Moon becomes exact. We started to feel this Full Moon build from the moment the Moon entered Leo on Wednesday night, Jan. 24th. Relationships of all kinds are highlighted.
I have a very important announcement for my current Members:
Since I started my Membership site six years ago, expenses for my Membership site have gone up quite a bit, but I have kept Membership fees at their original rates. Unfortunately, with the latest round of cost increases, I had to make the tough decision to make some changes.
Many of you have also told me that they would do more Readings with me if my prices were a little lower.
The solution that I came up with, is to raise site membership fees by a modest amount, and at the same time offer much deeper Member discounts on Readings, Coaching Packages, and Astrology Courses.
Universal Members will get up to 15% discounts on Services, and Star Members will get up to 25% discounts!
This will help me keep the membership system going and allow all of you to take advantage of my services more often.
The fees will go to $7/month for my UniversalMembers and to $29/month for my StarMembers.
The yearly fee will go to $63 for Universal (that’s 3 FREE Months) and $289 for Star Members.
This will go into effect on Jan. 24th! Please email me at info@astrologercoach.com if you have any questions!
Back to the Full Moon:
All Full Moons offer opportunities to see things in a new light and guide us away from polarization and division toward balance and integration. Ask yourself: How far have I come since setting Intentions back on Jan. 11th or 12th, after the New Moon became exact? What am I aware of at this time?
This Full Moon chart has a big focus on the outer and social planets:
The Sun aligns with Pluto in Aquarius
The Moon in Leo opposes not only the Sun but also Pluto in Aquarius, and it also trines Chiron in Aries
Jupiter in Taurus is the focus point of a T-square to the Full Moon polarity (as well as Pluto)
Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently exalted in Taurus, as it is preparing to end its 5-month Retrograde phase on Jan. 27th; and it trines a Mercury-Mars alignment in Capricorn
The Mercury-Mars alignment also squares Chiron, the Wounded Healer
Saturn (the traditional ruler of Aquarius) currently in Pisces quincunxes the Moon in Leo, and sextiles Jupiter in Taurus and Venus in Capricorn
I will go into all of this in more detail in a moment, but first, let’s talk about the Aquarius-Leo polarity:
Aquarius represents a unique vision and approach to life. The classic Aquarian vision is one of interconnected equality and belonging — paradoxically, we are reminded at the same time that the power of unity lies in diversity. It is a concentrative sign.
On the other hand, Leo is all about our self-expression, creativity, and ability to connect to a courageous, innocent heart and inner joy. Leo, at its best, signifies the quest to live from our center, our authentic core, our truth — with joy in our hearts.
As with all Full Moons, we are also invited to…

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 3-7 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you may feel the effects of this Full Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

This week’s headline items: Uranus remains exalted all week; the first Quarter Moon in Aries becomes exact on Wednesday late evening; on Saturday morning, the Sun aligns with Pluto in an exalted degree of Capricorn right before both planets move into the next sign: the Sun moves into Aquarius on Saturday late morning, and Pluto flows suit on Saturday evening. Lastly, Mercury will exit its post-Shadow phase on Saturday night.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late evening (for 16 minutes), Thursday very early morning (for 9 minutes), and Saturday morning (for 1 minute).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, don’t miss this free summit…
On Saturday, January 20th, at 11:30am EST, I will kick off the BUILD 2024 Empowerment Summit. I will be interviewed by the wonderful Tami Gingrow, the creator of this free 4-day summit, about how we can co-create 2024 with the support of Astrology!
Monday,the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Piscesuntil 11:49pm EST. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than usual.
We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all, especially those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
But that idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.
Monday evening, an opportune Sun/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 7:38pm EST. We have felt this aspect build since Saturday evening (Jan. 13th); it will remain strong until Wednesday evening (Jan. 17th). This aspect is an opportunity to dissolve what no longer serves us and connect to our intuition.
We feel inspired. It’s also a great time to bring a sense of flow and faith to our long-term plans.
Ask yourself: How might meditation or mindfulness — simply being present in the now-moment to all the energies inside and around me — support my manifesting and fulfilling long-term goals? What might a good dose of trust in divine timing and support do for my achievements?
Our capacity for compassion (both toward ourselves and others) is quite strong, especially if we can acknowledge it. Dreams and reality find a way to work together now — any spiritual or creative endeavors that are started during this time will most likely do very well — and it feels good to donate time or money to favored causes.
Remember that this is an “opportunity” — it isn’t just handed to us; we must make it happen.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-28 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).
Monday at 11:33pm EST, we enter a very brief Moon VoC that lasts 16 minutes until 11:49pm EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to be guided by inspiration and fully commit to a project or task that might serve you long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust the subtle messages in your heart that stir you toward success.
As always, with a Moon VoC, don’t start anything new, stick to routine things, or go with the flow as best as you can.
Monday at 11:49pm EST, the Moon enters pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Thursday very early morning. Life is an adventure; we’re more open to new ideas and enthusiastic about new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly and act immediately.
Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.
This Moon placement starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Wednesday late evening).

This week’s headline items: the Chiron Station ends on Wednesday; the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Thursday morning; Mercury re-enters Capricorn on Saturday late evening; Uranus starts to slow down again (stationing) on Sunday — preparing to end its 5- month Retrograde phase.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday afternoon (for 5.5 hours), Thursday late evening (for 28 minutes), and Saturday early morning (for 17.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, don’t miss this…
January 24that 1pm EST, we have our first Forecasting Forum of the year!
We will talk about Uranus, the planet of breakthroughs, innovation & change, as well as Pluto (the planet of deep transformation & power) moving back into Aquarius (the sign most associated with communities, technology & future visions) — for the second time since last March, and this time it will remain in Aquariusuntil September 1st.
The third pass will be from Nov. 19th, 2024 until Jan. 2044. This is a 246-year cycle, which means the last time Pluto was in Aquarius was from 1778-1798. This is when the United States achieved its independence from Great Britain — through its desire to create a place “of the people for the people”, a place where freedom and equality were honored and aspired to.
If you want to stay on the pulse of all the planetary shifts for this coming year and see how an understanding of these energies can serve you personally, join us every month.
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, January 8th:
Monday,the Moon remains inoptimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day. It will journey there until Tuesday evening. Until then, we’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.
As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming everyone is on the same page. Improvisation works well for us now, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.
Monday afternoon, we have lots of energy at our disposal, plus a desire to connect with others and have some adventures. Physical exercise or activities with others are great ways to channel this energy. We are also invited to collaborate; so look for relationships that nurture you, with people that share your values (Moon conjuncts Venus in Sagittarius, exact at 1:44pm EST)
Monday evening, we might find ourselves wanting to explore a new healing modality for body, mind, and heart aimed at renewing our enthusiasm for life.
We are capable of being compassionate and forgiving with ourselves at this time — and a gentle and holistic approach is best. (Moon in Sagittarius trines Chiron in Aries, exact at 7:44pm EST)
Monday later in the evening, a challenging Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 8:24pm EST. Due to the recent Mercury Retrograde and Station phases, this aspect will last an unusually long time; we started to feel it build on Tuesday morning(Jan. 2nd); it will remain strong until Fridaymorning (Jan.12th).
We also experienced this aspect several weeks ago, at the end of November — think back to that time and ask yourself: Did I need to slow down? Did I feel overwhelmed or easily distracted? What kept me grounded at that time?
This aspect asks us to stretch ourselves and grow. We may experience a lack of clarity and objectivity. We might make embarrassing errors, neglect important details, or carry some delusions now. Our lack of clarity may make it difficult for others to understand us.
We are more imaginative now and easily swayed by the opinions of others. We can be highly creative and inspired under this influence but also overly sensitive, touchy, or impractical. What might a creative or intuitive approach look like right now?
It can be hard to follow routines. Concentrating on monotonous tasks and work (or study that involves attention to detail or rote learning) may also be challenging at this time. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 10 days.
Ask yourself: What do I feel and perceive when I go beyond all stories, all assumptions, and all meaning?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, or Virgo? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).

New Moons are good times to reflect on our lives and set new intentions. This is an excellent time to go within and plant a seed for anything we would like to accomplish over the next 28 days and beyond. Feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject, here.
There are two quick things I would like to mention before we get started:
We will talk about Uranus, the planet of breakthroughs, innovation & change, as well as Pluto (the planet of deep transformation & power) moving back into Aquarius (the sign most associated with communities, technology & future visions) — for the second time since last March, and this time it will remain in Aquarius until September 1st.
The third pass will be from Nov. 19th, 2024, until Jan. 2044. This is a 246-year cycle, which means the last time Pluto was in Aquarius was from 1778 – 1798. This was when the United States achieved its independence from Great Britain — through its desire to create a place “of the people for the people”, a place where freedom and equality were honored and aspired to.
If you did make any New Year’s resolutions, this New Moon cycle will be a great time to implement and make good on those resolutions or intentions.
If you didn’t set any New Year’s resolutions, I can’t blame you, since Mercury was Retrograde at midnight on Dec. 31st/Jan. 1st., and was also squaring Neptune in Pisces — so it may have felt too overwhelming to set any concrete intentions for 2024, or it wasn’t even on your radar…
But do not worry; January 11th is your next chance to set some great goals or intentions, and this time, you will feel much more grounded, realistic, and excited about doing so.
Since this New Moon occurs in Capricorn, it directs us to investigate our relationship with authority, not just “authority” in the external sense, but also our “own authority”.
The highest vibrationof Capricorn is self-mastery: the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, setting realistic goals, and healthy boundaries. So, the next 28 days are perfect for working on these areas.
Since Capricorn represents the quest for…

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 18-23 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, or Libra? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for the month’s Moon cycle — the perfect time is after the New Moon becomes exact (but not during a Moon void of course).
So this month, there are two best and most potent times to set intentions — the first would be any time between 6:57am and 9:33pm onJan. 11th — and the second would be between 10:01pm onJan. 11th and 4:59am on Jan. 13th. (EST/New York time).
If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast time), and converting time zones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Page and following me on Twitter, as I post reminders when it’s time to set your intentions.
