Wicked Veracity Podcast Show Notes | Episode 119

Before we get started, I want you to know that all times I’m going to mention are in the Eastern time zone. If you want to see the aspects discussed in the forecast on your digital calendar in your time zone, you can get that here.

The real start of 2023 will be here by the end of this week. Mercury and Uranus will turn direct and we will have the Aquarius New Moon which signals the start of the Chinese New Year. 

You have plenty of time to figure out how you want to celebrate the transition and what you want to cultivate over the next twelve months, especially the next three months when all of the planets are direct. Massive change is coming and it all starts now (ish).

Monday 1/16: 

• ☽ at 14° 57‘ Scorpio ☍ ♅ at 14° 57‘ Taurus | 10:16 am
• ☽ at 17° 08‘ Scorpio □ ♀︎ at 17° 08‘ Aquarius | 2:09 pm

Monday it may feel like one of the harder levels in a video game with unexpected plot twists and a protagonist that wants to cause a little mayhem. Or maybe you’re providing the twists and angst for someone else.

Either way, be extra gentle with yourself and the other players you meet in the game. Everyone has experienced a lot of changes in the Scoprio and Taurus houses of their charts over the past year or so and integrating those changes can be challenging for each of us to adapt to on a personal level but also for each of us to adapt to in regards to the people in our lives.

Tuesday 1/17:

• ☽ at 23° 11‘ Scorpio △ ♆ at 23° 11‘ Pisces | 12:47 am
• ☽ at 24° 09‘ Scorpio □ ♄ at 24° 09‘ Aquarius | 2:27 am
• ☽ at 27° 07‘ Scorpio ✳ ☉ at 27° 07‘Capricorn | 7:35 am
• ☽ at 28° 11‘ Scorpio ✳ ♇ at 28° 11‘ Capricorn | 9:26 am
• Moon Void
• ☽ ▻ Sagittarius | 12:32 pm
• ☽ at 03° 35‘ Sagittarius △ ♃ at 03° 35‘ Aries | 6:41 pm

Tuesday morning is still primed to help you integrate change and carry through on plans but in a less contentious way. 

Tuesday afternoon at 12:32 pm eastern, the Moon moves into Sagittarius and the day becomes brighter and more optimistic overall. 

Wednesday 1/18:

• ☽ at 08° 18‘ Sagittarius ☍ ♂︎ at 08° 18‘ Gemini | 2:38 am
• ☿ ▻ Direct at 08° 08‘ Capricorn | 8:11 am
• ☉ ☌ ♇ at 28° 13‘ Capricorn | 9:44 am
• ☽ at 13° 16‘ Sagittarius ☉ at 28° 16‘ Capricorn | 10:55 am
• ☽ at 20° 03‘ Sagittarius ✳ ♀︎ at 20° 03‘ Aquarius | 10:05 pm

Wednesday morning there is a maximum shenanigans alert as Mercury stations direct and the Sun joins Pluto. Whatever the changes you’ve been considering and implementing in the Capricorn area of your life are likely to be intensified today.

That could be an intense clarity on how you want to move forward with something, an irresistible offer, a heated exchange, or anything in between. 

If you have a pronounced Capricorn house - by which I mean if it is your rising sign, sun sign, Midheaven, profected house, or you have a lot of planets hanging out there then this is probably going to be especially noticeable for you.

Thursday 1/19:

• ☽ at 23° 14‘ Sagittarius □ ♆ at 23° 14‘ Pisces | 3:17 am
• ☽ at 24° 23‘ Sagittarius  ✳ ♄ at 24° 23‘ Aquarius | 5:08 am
• Moon Void
• ☽ ▻ Capricorn | 2:11 pm
• ☽ at 03° 56‘ Capricorn □ ♃ at 03° 56‘ Aries | 8:29 pm

Thursday is delightful. It’s a lovely little slice of a day that should help relieve any pressure you felt building on Wednesday.

Friday 1/20:

• ☉ ▻ Aquarius | 3:29 am
• ☽ ☌ ☿ at 08° 21‘ Capricorn | 3:30 am
• ☽ at 14° 56‘ Capricorn △ ♅ at 14° 56‘ Taurus | 1:54 pm

Friday the Sun moves into Aquarius joining Venus and adding an intensified focus in this area of your life.

In your natal chart, the Sun illuminates your conscious purpose and much of your core identity. As it moves through the various houses, your core self remains the same. You simply become more focused on the topics of the house it’s visiting.

The topics related to the house where you find Aquarius is where you have have more self-doubt, insecurity, and fear of failure. One way to combat the negative mind chatter is to create clearly defined boundaries around the house topics that you review and redefine regularly to support the type of experience you want to have.

By rising sign, the topics where you’ll be more consciously focused:

• Aries Rising: Friends with influence, alliances, your hopes and dreams, social media, personal and professional networks, unions, mentors, and that which supports you
• Taurus Rising: Your reputation, profession, actions, relationship with and to authority, your mother and her family, your destiny, and your ambitions
• Gemini Rising: Higher education, divination, foreign travel, religion, astrology, the divine masculine, and your ability to grow, adapt, and learn
• Cancer Rising: Investment, other people’s money, debt, topics concerning death, psychology, taxes, fears, transformation, and the occult
• Leo Rising: Committed relationships, contracts, business partners, and other contractual relationships, and open enemies
• Virgo Rising: Physical health, illness, coworkers, your job, pets, self-improvement, and the things you feel obligated to
• Libra Rising: Children, pleasure, romance, dating, sexuality, the things you desire,  the creative arts, love affairs, the ways in which you are entertained, close friends, and lovers
• Scorpio Rising: Home, family, home life, land, ancestors, private self, your emotional foundation, gains from hidden sources, your father, and your father’s family
• Sagittarius Rising: Communication, divination, short-distance travel, your neighborhood, writing, your immediate environment, the divine feminine, siblings, and cousins
• Capricorn Rising: Money, possessions, resources, and how you make a living
• Aquarius Rising: Self-awareness, your identity, appearance, personality, the way you view yourself, your character, your primary motivation, your body, your health, and vitality
• Pisces Rising: Mental health, the subconscious, ways you self sabotage, the ways you isolate yourself, hidden enemies, transcendence, and spiritual liberation

Think about the new experiences you want in this area of your life and the boundaries you’d need to create around your beliefs, time, energy, and attention in order to begin cultivating what you want here with Saturday’s New Moon.

Saturday 1/21:

•  ☽ at 23° 17‘ Capricorn ✳ ♆ at 23° 17‘ Pisces | 3:00 am
• ☽ ☌ ♇ at 28° 19‘ Capricorn | 10:52 am
• Moon Void
• ☽ ▻ Aquarius | 3:53 pm
• Aquarius 🌑 New Moon
• ☽ at 01° 32‘ Aquarius ☌ ☉ at 01° 32‘ Aquarius | 3:53 pm 
• ☽ at 04° 16‘ Aquarius ✳ ♃ at 04° 16‘ Aries | 8:08 pm

Saturday starts off with some emotional intensity that may help you clarify any last things you need to let go of so you can move forward with the pragmatic new beginning being offered with the Aquarius New Moon which occurs at 3:53 pm eastern.

I’m personally going to hold off on the new beginning until after Sunday because...

Sunday 1/22: 

• ☽ at 08° 40‘ Aquarius △ ♂︎ at 08° 40‘ Gemini | 3:01 am
• ☽ at 14° 56‘ Aquarius □ ♅ at 14° 56‘ Taurus | 12:49 pm
• ♀︎ ☌ ♄ at 24° 47‘ Aquarius | 5:12 pm
• ♅ ▻ Direct at 14° 56‘ Taurus | 5:58 pm

Sunday two important things happen. First, Venus and Saturn hook up in Aquarius and then Uranus goes direct at 5:58 pm eastern. Both of these help us push past any lingering slowness so that we can go full speed ahead next week.

If you’re feeling frisky, hit me up on Instagram and let me know how the astrology of the week played out for you.

Until next time, my wish for you is healthy boundaries that facilitate the growth you crave.
