1/6 • Venus (beauty & creativity) ~conjunct~ Sun (individuality & Light):
This energy activates your innate creativity, sparking ideas about what you want to express or bring to life in the world, what you want to invest in, and what you want to be part of. When the Sun contacts Venus, the focus is on your individual creativity, but with Venus contacting the Sun, it is all about your creations! Use this Solar infusion to brighten & illuminate yourself, your surroundings & your creative projects. This will expand & brighten your magnetic field, attracting opportunities that are perfect for you. A burst of new energy is wanting to be expressed through you, based on your new values & priorities, marking the beginning of a new creative cycle. Remember, love is also a creative force. If your relationships are taking center stage, this energy will enhance what you create with others as well. This is a potent time for planting new seeds, so be open to support & guidance from men and the Sacred Masculine within & around you.

1/7 • Venus (love & kinship) ~conjunct~ Mars (passion & physicality):
This signifies the merging of our core Sacred Feminine & Masculine energies in a powerful union, sparking a desire to cultivate meaningful relationships, be they physical & sexual with an individual, or socializing & navigating community. This energy activates a pronounced yearning for approval on one level and physical affection on another, creating a longing for human contact that definitely goes beyond what’s been possible in recent years. Even if you typically manage well on your own, preferring independence & freedom, this energy triggers a distinct craving for some form of human connection, companionship or community. For those not currently in relationship-mode or engaging with others, this energy can also ignite your imagination & creativity, as well as your Inner Artist. It presents an ideal moment to embark on creating or cultivating something new, be it a project or a relationship, something that is fueled by a deep, profound & authentic love.

1/9 • Sun (identity & purpose) ~conjunct~ Mars (desires, choices & actions):
This energy represents the most powerful alignment of your identity & personal desires, amplifying your focus on these issues. Harnessing the power of this energy requires clarity on your goals & individual self-awareness. With a clear vision of who you are & what you want, you will find renewed vitality & increased drive to pursue your goals in all areas of life. However, if ego & insecurity cloud your judgment, this energy may manifest as irritability & conflict. Instead, use this potent energy to activate your New Self and initiate positive changes. Take advantage of this creative & dynamic force to propel yourself forward and elevate your personal & professional endeavors.

1/9 • Venus (love & creativity) ~oppose~ Jupiter (beliefs & consciousness):
This vibrant energy invites us to revel in the joys of Nature, relish delectable food & drink, savor the company of delightful companions, and indulge in hearty laughter! It’s a celebratory energy, beckoning us to embrace its pleasures, yet urging moderation & mindfulness toward our own individual health & well-being. This energy is deeply creative, igniting the flames of the true Inner Artist inherent within each of us. Moreover, it marks a midpoint—a pivotal juncture—in relationships or creative endeavors that commenced around 6-months ago. It prompts reflection: Is this path still viable? Does the narrative we weave align with our own truth? Where lies the value, and is it worth continuing on this trajectory? These questions demand contemplation at this juncture. Whether one identifies as an artist or not, this activation fosters an infinitely creative atmosphere, significantly expanding individual work & personal potential. Embrace this moment to ignite your imagination, expand your vision, and embody hope & joy today. However, tomorrow beckons a shift toward a new direction that resonates more with your individual essence & personal truth.

1/10 • Sun (energy & identity) ~oppose~ Jupiter (beliefs & expansion):
This energy is a double-edge sword in that you may “feel” positive & optimistic – which is a good thing – but it is also prone to excess – which brings us to the philosophy of “anything in moderation” or “balance in all things”. Be positive but be alert too! Beware of the urge to overdo it or over-extend yourself on any level. Use this energy to tap into your courageous side and attempt something that you have avoided out of fear or doubt. There is a push-pull going on between your ego and your enthusiastic child within which demands that you find a proper expression for this energy. Also, beware of your enthusiasm provoking you to try to get others to see it from this point of view. You always have to be mindful of the fact that everyone is on their individual paths and may not be ready for what you’re bringing … and that’s okay – focus this energy back on your Self and it will serve you well. This energy tends to bring out the self-righteousness in us and that rarely leads where you are trying to go. What this energy is trying to tell us is that certain aspects of Self and your Spiritual development are coming to a head and decisions need to be made which will affect your future. Pay attention – and try to get the lesson & the blessing of whatever is happening this week because it is trying to guide you to a new level … ready or not! Also keep in mind that it is an opposition, which always reminds us to watch for extremes and practice coming back to center, the truth is you are 6-months into something that requires some integration. If you stabilize now, you can expand your life in positive ways and with more ease & grace.

1/10 • Mars (desires & actions) ~oppose~ Jupiter (expansion & learning):
This energy is perfect for working on your “grand vision” and that is exactly what you’ll “feel” like doing under this influence. Anything or anyone that blocks you from that should be consciously (and kindly) dealt with and then get to it! Mars is action and Jupiter is expansion and they are dancing together. It can be a selfish, undirected dance where no one wins or it can be the beginning of something huge! You are using this energy to access the single-mindedness of Mars to accomplish the huge goals of Jupiter. The downfall of this energy is to allow the Mars ego (Edging-God-Out) to lead when it serves a better purpose being the strength, not necessarily the strategy. And allow Jupiter’s connection to the Higher Truth, for you, to guide you on your Path. The Jupiter in you sees the bigger picture, your infinite potential that it longs to fulfill. Get out of your own way. Watch the inclination to “overdo” EVERYTHING – spending, physical activity, over-promising/under-delivering etc. Stay within your physical limits but expand the limits of your consciousness. Robert Hand says, “The sense of timing of your actions may leave you and others amazed and sure that you’re lucky. But really you have succeeded because you have a complete understanding of the situation.”
