Astrology for Tuesday, 7 January 2020:

Today the Sun in Capricorn makes a sextile to Neptune in Pisces. Like flashes of sunlight glistening on the rippling surface of water, fresh illumination and understanding of your purpose can arise when you invite intuition and mystery into our reason and rationality. Soften your gaze, allow it to drift over the shifting contours of your fantasies and dreams, and catch the shimmering insights that flow into consciousness when you surrender the need for certainty. Daydream, vision, and follow the circuitous direction of what becomes clear when you wade into uncertainty. The Moon in Gemini then makes an opposition to Mars in Sagittarius. When conflict arises, get curious. When you feel the aggressive drive to convince others of your perspective, seek out other points of view. If you experience injury today, be willing to speak up and name the ways that you were hurt. In this opposition, balance will come from adaptability, the ability to inhabit and move between multiple positions simultaneously. Be willing to stand courageously for what you believe, and also be willing to recognize the limitations of your beliefs. Both the Moon and Mars are ruled by Mercury in Capricorn; there are limits to what we can know and understand, and we do not lose by accepting the finitude of our own understanding. Rather, when we come to the edges of what we can know, we find where our knowledge meets and fits together with what other experiences and points of view can teach us.
