This Week’s General Astrology Forecast
The week starts off with the moon in the relationship sign of Libra.
Most of the energy early in the day is quite positive for attracting love and friendship.
However, late in the day, just before the Moon slips into Scorpio at 11:31pm PT, there can be power struggles within yourself, as well as with others. Watch for internalizing any negative energies that may percolate to the surface. Release them instead. You can enjoy some aromatherapy bath therapy time for yourself this evening.
Please note there are upcoming changes to the AER service. In the New Year of 2019 there will be a paid membership subscription service available. A FREE version of AER will continue to be published weekly. Details will be announced in an upcoming issue of AER.
BEST MONEY DAYS this week are the 28th, 29th and 31st.
Best Money Days are days when the collective celestial events bring greater than usual opportunities. This may not translate into direct and immediate cash in your pocket, but potential for increase in your future prospects. Of course when these days are talking harmoniously with your personal stars the increase multiplies exponentially.

Astro Energy Report Highlights
All dates are at exact peak of intensity when energies begin to culminate and wane. You may actually feel the energies several hours or even days or weeks (in the case of eclipses) before the Celestial Peak, Crest of the Wave, so to speak. If you have personal planets or points within 1-2º orb of an aspect that’s occurring between planets then you will feel that celestial event more strongly.
January 27th – Last Quarter Waning Moon at 7° 38’ Scorpio, exact at 1:10pm. The Last Quarter Moon Squares both the Sun and Mercury which are within orb of Conjunction in Aquarius (exact January 29th). A final purging of old patterns, especially in the areas of your life where the signs Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo and Taurus reside in your chart. Key issues up for adjustments to bring balance are related to arrogance/pride (integrity/honor), self absorption (freedom), self indulgence (self expression) and greed (material comfort). The Quarter Waning Moon in Scorpio gives you an opportunity to unburden yourself from fears and trepidations that may have haunted you from time to time (or ongoing) in life.
January 29th – The Sun at 10° Aquarius Conjuncts Mercury. You can have the Midas touch with this aspect. Your Will and Life Force energies are perfectly wed to your Mind. Lucky meetings and chance encounters can happen. Great for signing contracts and making agreements. Future “happy” prospects may become known to you.
January 31st – Saturn at 15° Capricorn Sextiles Neptune in Pisces, exact at 6:21am PT. Sextiles bring opportunity and, between Saturn and Neptune, the opportunities offered can fulfill your long cherished dreams. Much of long standing merit may be on the offering today! Keep your eyes and ears open.
February 1st – Mars at 21° Aries Squares Pluto in Capricorn, exact at 7:15pm PT. We start the month of February with a clash between two of the most intense planets in the zodiac. Mars and Pluto Square can unleash repressed anger and feelings of deep and all consuming bitterness. These two planets can really go at it when irritated by each other. Breathe and channel the energy constructively. It may be challenging to relax during the peak of the Square. Strenuous physical exercise may be the best way to channel the energy.
Bear with any short term discomfort. The Capricorn Moon Conjuncts Saturn and Sextiles Neptune a couple of hours after the peak, so the energy shifts soon enough to feel more pleasant and agreeable.
February 4th – Aquarius New Moon, exact 1:04pm PT. We end the first Eclipse cycle of 2019. Though the energies activated will continue to play out over the next six months. I, for one, am very glad to begin a new Eclipse nodal cycle in Cancer and Capricorn. The eclipse energies (which can be rather explosive) will generally be more grounded and nurturing for us.
VOID OF COURSE MOON PERIODS
The moon represents your emotional needs. Your emotions fluctuate with the moon as it moves through its 28-day cycle around the zodiac from new moon to full and back to new. Notice how the moon’s placement in the zodiac affects your mood and emotions. Essential oils can help stabilize your mind and emotions. Generally earthy scents have the most harmonizing and stabilizing effects on the emotions.
Void of Course Moon periods are great for taking it easy and going with the flow of events and completing projects. During Void of Course Moons your emotional body is going through a period of processing and integrating your recent experiences. You naturally clear out your emotions during these periods. Doing things that helps with this natural process are especially helpful now, i.e. relaxation, yoga, movement, hot baths with sea salts and essential oils, focused breathing.
Void of Course Moon Phases are not good for starting new projects, or launching new ventures, or having meetings (if you want to achieve anything), or signing contracts and making agreements as it’s less likely anything will come of any agreement, or it will be sluggish and slow to start.
For your New and Full Moon Rituals make sure the Moon is not Void of Course and in aspect to another celestial body when doing your ritual for best results.
- January 26th we have a 2+ hour Void of Course Moon from 9:21pm PT to 11:31pm PT when the Libra Moon enters the sign of Scorpio.
- January 28th we have a 16 hour Void of Course Moon from 2:38pm PT until 6:33am PT on January 29th when the Scorpio Moon enters the sign of Sagittarius.
- January 31st we have a 2+ hour Void of Course Moon from 2:33pm PT to 4:47pm PT when the Sagittarius Moon enters the sign of Capricorn.
