Astrology for Monday, 13 January 2020:

Today the Sun in Capricorn makes conjunctions to Pluto and Saturn, just beginning to separate from their union yesterday. The Sun brings illumination and understanding, so as it meets up with Pluto and then Saturn, we may receive clarity or insight regarding the structures on which we have relied that are now coming undone. At the same time, both Pluto and Saturn can describe challenges to the light and vitality of the Sun. It may be that as old systems begin to break down, how we understand wellness and what we require for health must change as well. The Moon in Leo opposes Venus in Aquarius, and it may feel as if we must choose between the love and connections we desire for the future and our ability to show up more fully as we are in the present. But if you feel that you must diminish or reduce yourself in order to preserve your access to love, it may not be love to which you are attached. The Moon ingresses into Virgo, drawing focus to making practical matters more efficient and productive—themes that are even more pronounced as Mercury, the ruler of Virgo, moves through Capricorn. Then Venus ingresses into Pisces, the sign of its exaltation. Venus in Pisces celebrates love that is nourished by empathy, compassion, and practices of mutual care that dissolve rigid boundaries. For Venus in Pisces, union comes from sharing emotional needs, choosing to make your needs my concern and asking that my needs concern you as well. Finally, the Moon in Virgo moves through a trine to Uranus in Taurus and a square to Mars in Sagittarius. Conditions may require radical adaptability and a willingness to change in order to repair harm.
