Weekly Astrological Movements: January 26 - February 1, 2025

Hey there, star-gazers! 🌟 Welcome to another week of celestial wonders! The cosmos is buzzing with activity, and there's much to unpack. Let's explore the key astrological events and how they might influence our lives.

New Moon in Aquarius: On January 29th, we have a New Moon in Aquarius, marking the beginning of a new cycle. This is a time to embrace friendship, group activities, and social pursuits. It's all about thinking outside the box and looking to the future with a positive and hopeful vision. Whether joining a new group, brainstorming innovative ideas, or simply extending a friendly hand, this New Moon encourages us to connect and collaborate. Let's take a moment to appreciate our friendships and social networks and maybe even detach from past habits that no longer serve us.

Planetary Movements:

• Sun in Aquarius: From January 19 to February 18, the Sun in Aquarius motivates us to seek knowledge and originality. It's a time to break free from outdated structures and embrace new perspectives. Let's allow our heads to rule over our hearts and approach life rationally and objectively.

  
  

• Mercury in Capricorn and Aquarius: Mercury transitions from Capricorn to Aquarius on January 27. While in Capricorn, our thinking is methodical and practical. As Mercury moves into Aquarius, our minds become more progressive and open to new ideas. It's a great time for inventive thinking and spontaneous communication.

  
  

• Venus in Pisces: Venus continues its journey through (Pisces Jan 2 - Feb 4 and again from Mar 27- Apr 30), bringing tenderness and affection. Venus is exalted in the sign Pisces. This means Venus is considered to be in a powerful and beneficial position. In astrology, exaltation is where a planet's qualities are enhanced and expressed best. This transit encourages us to rely on our intuition in love and finances. However, it's important to be mindful of the potential challenges that come with this placement. Venus in Pisces can sometimes lead to idealising people or situations, which might result in disappointment if reality doesn't match the ideal. It's also important to watch for avoidant or indirect behaviour.

• Mars in Cancer: Mars in Cancer makes us pursue our interests with passion but in a more indirect way. Our moods may influence our goals, and we might find ourselves fiercely protective of our loved ones. It's a powerful time for focusing on personal and domestic goals. Note: Retrograde Mars re-entered Cancer on January 6th. Mars then turns direct on Feb 23 and continues its transit through Cancer until Apr 18.

  
  

This Week's Astrological Aspects:

• Mercury Sextile Neptune: Intuition is heightened, and we are more artistically sensitive. Our imagination is stirred, and we have an increased appreciation for subtleties. We feel inspired and can inspire others with our words.

  
  

• Venus Sextile Uranus: This aspect favours social meetings and events, encouraging us to treat others equally and respectfully. We lose our fear of taking risks and embrace new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary experiences in romance and finances. It's a good time for financial undertakings involving technology, the internet, metaphysics, and the arts.

  
  

• Mercury Conjunct Pluto: Mental activity is intense, and we may uncover valuable information or gain new understanding. Thoughts and communications are more focused and intense. We are motivated to find hidden meanings and "cut to the chase," but we must be cautious of becoming suspicious or manipulative.

  
  

• Sun Trine Jupiter: This influence is about growth and expansiveness. We are more aware of moral issues and have a desire to improve and learn. Optimism and confidence are high, making it a good time for new beginnings in business, education, relationships, and creative projects.

  
  

• Venus Conjunction Neptune: This transit brings new beginnings on creative levels, with heightened sensitivity to beauty and spirituality. We are easily influenced and have strong powers of imagination. It's a magical time for romance and social interactions, but it can also be confusing or illusory.
