Astrology for Monday, 6 January 2020:

Today the Moon in Taurus makes a square to its ruler Venus in Aquarius. Receiving a superior square from a benefic is a condition of bonification—meaning that the Moon receives support and affirmation from its ruler. However, a square can also indicate that the gifts of this aspect may require effort or adjustment. What experiences that live in your body might you have to confront and work through in order to accept your own value and the ways in which you are loved by others? The Moon then moves through rapid trines to Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. While a trine can describe an especially easeful or supportive relationship, the mounting pressure between Saturn and Pluto is still challenging; we may find that what flows easily into our lives as the Moon moves through these trines are the reverberations of power struggles, the cumulative effects of repression, and the weight of unresolved histories streaming through our nervous systems. Taurus reminds us to ground and stay close to sensation as a strategy for persistence. The Moon then ingresses into Gemini, relieving the pressure from earlier in the day through a shift into curiosity, social connections, and learning more about the situations in which we find ourselves. Whatever you are experiencing, who might you call into your experience? Sharing your stories with those you trust may be part of coming into more clarity about what you think and understanding, how your story fits within larger narratives of which we are all a part.
