Astrology for Saturday, 11 January 2020:

After the heaviness of yesterday’s eclipse, today the Moon ingresses into Leo, brightening the mood a bit as the Moon moves away from the nodal axis and the opposition to Saturn and Pluto. In Leo, we turn our attention back to our desires to be seen and celebrated by others, our need to be seen and known as we see and know ourselves to be. The Moon makes a square to Uranus in Taurus, finally direct after spending five months retrograde. Uranus pushes us toward authenticity, especially when authenticity means breaking with established expectations for who we have been and will be. Brené Brown writes, “Authenticity demands wholehearted living and loving—even when it’s hard, even when we’re wrestling with the shame and fear of not being good enough, and especially when the joy is so intense that we’re afraid to let ourselves feel it.” This square from Uranus now moving direct in Taurus may push us beyond our comfort zones, may demand that we show up more fully and completely in our wholehearted living and loving, and may challenge us to trust that we are already more than enough. The Moon then makes a trine to Mars in Sagittarius, a supportive offering of courage to stoke the fires of our confidence, giving us the confidence to blaze brightly and brilliantly as who we know ourselves to be—regardless of whether others approve. Trust that the more you show up more fully as your whole self, the more available you will be to love and be loved by those who see and celebrate you.
