Astrology for Monday, 20 January 2020:

Today the Moon in Sagittarius makes a sextile to Mercury in Aquarius. You may find yourself in nurturing or emotionally supportive conversations, finding how to say and receive what needs to be said with sensitivity and care. The Moon then makes a square to Venus in Pisces, offering empathy and compassionate support to those around us, especially our loved ones and those we consider to be kin. As the Sun ingresses into Aquarius, illumination and attention shifts toward the big picture of our shared world, both in the present and moving forward into the future. Wherever Aquarius is in your chart will be receiving the life-sustaining light of the Sun throughout the month ahead. Then the Moon conjoins Mars in Sagittarius, which could describe the seeds or roots of irritation or conflict. In contrast to the loving and supportive mood of the morning, the Moon conjunct Mars can describe provocation and contention, giving or taking offense, and in Sagittarius, this may be due to treading through unfamiliar territory. If you experience agitation or activation this afternoon, give yourself time to breathe, respond with patience and curiosity, and remember how much you do not know about the situation you are facing. Finally, the Moon makes a square to Neptune in Pisces, which can cloud our judgement or lead us down the path of reacting to our own projections. If you find yourself in emotional turmoil, consider that what you are perceiving may be distorted. Give yourself time for more of the picture to become clear—which might mean waiting to respond or take action until tomorrow.
