Don't Get Eclipsed! Astrology Sessions
It's eclipse season! The first of this year's pair of eclipses will occur in February, with a Leo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurring on February 10 and a Pisces Solar Eclipse on February 26. Even if we can't see an eclipse in the sky, these celestial events are potent harbingers of change and illumination in our lives. And this month's eclipses seem to reflect times of especially significant shifts given that the r/evolutionary Jupiter/Uranus Opposition is is quite powerful on both of these eclipse days.
To learn how these will impact you personally, read this post.

Aquarius New Moon
During this New Moon in Aquarius we may find ourselves turning out attention from our personal lives to larger collective issues. Inherent within, there’s a knowingness that we are not separate, that a connection unites us to those we hear or read about around the globe. If there were a theme song for the day, “We Are The World”—the 1985 pop star-riddled ballad that raised money for humanitarian aid—may very well be it. The energetics of this time may readily inspire within us the awareness that we are not isolated beings, but rather global citizens, and that what happens on the other side of the world can feel as proximate—and relevant—as what is happening down the street.

The Sea Anemone + The Mars/Saturn Square
Reflecting today's Mar/Saturn Square, we're focused on advancing what we are striving for as we question the best way to marshal our forces to achieve what's important to us. It's a time to go slow, be thoughtful about our energy expenditures, and reflect upon how patience can be a valuable asset in fighting for what we want.

The First 100 Days: Owning Your Power
Power and control.
Who has it? Who doesn't? What is it? What does a constructive use of it look like, and alternatively a destructive use? What does it feel like when we perceive we don't have it? And what are some ways to re-assert our claim to it?
These are some of the questions I've been reflecting upon recently, as I think about the face-the-depths Jupiter/Pluto Square that casts its hue in the archetypal landscape of this year. These questions also seem to be quite top-of-mind as I witness individual and collective fears and concerns stemming from the upcoming Presidential Inauguration.

Cancer Full Moon
On the Cancer Full Moon we often gain insights into the ways we contribute to both the world and the people to whom we are closest. We may also be better able to understand the role with which we are mainly identified, both by ourselves and others. This may be via the work we do, the family we nurture, the relationships that we tend, and/or other things that carve out our identity and bring us nurturance. Around this time, we may gain a greater sense of how we feel about the legacy we are creating and whether it truly aligns with our deepest needs and desires, whether it feeds the core of who we are.

Embracing the Darkness
Are you feeling that there is darkness around? Are you dancing on the edges (or in the center) of fear, or not confident that you're able to see clearly? Are there emotions, memories, or motivations that have been cast aside and/or buried below that are rising to the surface?
I ask these questions as this can often be the tempo when Pluto is strong, as it is this week given today's Sun/Pluto conjunction.

2017: The Year of Living Creatively + Stellar Tithings
Happy New Year!
The Year of Living Creatively is what I'm currently calling 2017.
That came to me as I was thinking about the major alignments that color this year including the Jupiter/Uranus Opposition, Jupiter/Pluto Square, and Saturn/Uranus Trine as well as the fact that the moving-forward North Node will be royally perched in self-expressive Leo beginning in May for the subsequent year-plus.

Capricorn New Moon
New Moons are auspicious monthly celestial events that usher in fresh cycles of creation and becoming. The Capricorn New Moon offers us a great opportunity to inventory how we spend our resources. It’s a notable time to balance a checkbook, survey investments, or consider an aspect of financial planning we’ve yet to fully explore.
Remember, though, our personal economy of resources is not just limited to our money but also includes our time, energy, and skills/talents, all of which comprise the capital that we can use to create a richer life.

Some Stellar Reflection Questions for This Week
How can my understanding expand through the pursuit of a path more uncommon, untraditional, and inventive than usual?
How can restlessness be a signal that there is a larger and more creative horizon to explore?
When I step back to gain to gain some distance from a situation, can I see that it features a vibrant order rather than the chaos that I had perceived was defining it?
These feel like some good Stellar Reflection Questions to consider this week with Jupiter opposing Uranus today and Uranus stationing direct on Thursday.
