Astrology for Thursday, 23 January 2020:

Today the Sun in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus. This could describe sudden illumination or flashes of understanding that may challenge your existing perception of yourself or the world around you. It may also describe a crisis of purpose, disrupting what it is you feel you are here to do. What if even your most closely held beliefs and perspectives were also subject to questioning? Then Venus in Pisces makes a sextile to Jupiter in Capricorn. This is an easy, supportive aspect between the two benefics, creating conditions for loving connections, especially as a remedy for the strain of sustained effort. It’s likely that the Capricorn area of your chart and life has been demanding considerable attention and labor for quite a while, and that this has intensified over the last few weeks. Could you alleviate some of the exhaustion by making time to be with people who love and inspire you? The Moon in Capricorn makes a sextile to Neptune in Pisces, inviting a flow of fresh imagination and dreaming into the practical work of the day. Finally, the Moon makes conjunctions to Pluto and Saturn as it moves through its balsamic phase. If your emotional reserves feel scarce and if your body feels depleted, take time to rest and recover, knowing that resting is doing something: it is part of a practice of well-being, and it is necessary in order to support that which will be planted at the New Moon tomorrow.
