Astrology of the Day – Moon in Capricorn - Monday 15th January 2018

The Moon is in Capricorn now and joining a log jam of five other planets all in the same sign, therefore we have a lot of earthy energy to deal with. Any planet in Capricorn takes on a more reserved and more serious tone, and yet Capricorn does also have a very quirky and weird sense of humour that emerges. There can be a lack of confidence with this sign and this contributes to the inhibited side of this sign. As a result our emotions will be held back a bit throughout the day. 

This will be especially the case first thing as the Moon makes a conjunction with Saturn. We will have a need to be super organised and keep everything very much in perspective this morning. The Moon and Saturn together bring an emotional toughness that can serve us well in any difficult situations that we may find ourselves in. Even if you do need help you won't want to ask for assistance out of an unwillingness to show any fragility. 

With Saturn is Mercury and the next conjunction the Moon makes will be with the quicksilver planet. Now there will be a need to communicate and seek information, but again in a business like way, like the company executive who has responsibility on our shoulders. We find a need to set targets, organising other and plan our approach to everything. We could be rather direct and and possibly a little harsh in the way we approach things and speak to people, especially as Saturn is close by too and there is a danger that we might we be a little too safe or conservative in our ideas and decisions today? 

Later on in the day, the Sun completes an easy looking sextile to Chiron and we can find healing energy to make any difficult situations seem that that little easier to cope with. By taking a different path and through learning from the past we can conquer things that previously thwarted us. This aspect is nicely complemented by an imaginative and compassionate sextile from the Moon to Neptune. There is a good balance between the earthy Moon and the watery Neptune in Pisces, and through it we can show lasting love and caring to others. Little sacrifices that we make this evening will be greatly appreciated.
