Highlighted Aspects this Week
WED: Sun square Nodes; FRI: Mars trine Mercury; SAT: Chiron conjunct Juno, Saturn square Mercury; SUN: Uranus semisquare Mercury
A RELATIVELY QUIET week (astrologically speaking) lies before us. The list of exact aspects is very short, and those on the list are not among the “heavy hitters” of possible planetary interactions.
This is one of those times when what’s going on with our individual charts will hold the greatest import, since we’re not dealing with collective challenges as directly as at other times.
In other words, if you’re someone who is working with a major transit from Pluto or another slow-moving planet, and that transit is exact in late January or early February, this week will feel far from quiet, in spite of the short aspects list!
THAT BEING SAID, on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, the Moon does interact with each of the planets involved in the Cardinal Grand Cross. I do not usually include Moon aspects in this journal unless we are having a new or full moon (or an eclipse). That’s because the Moon moves so quickly that the effects of a lunar transit are relatively short-lived, usually lasting only an hour or two.
