[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of January 26 - February 1

It’s an intense week. Neptune moves into Aries, Mars and Pluto collaborate, and we have a Full Moon. 

Monday 01/26

• ☽ at 09° 46‘ Taurus □ ☿ at 09° 46‘ Aquarius |  5:50 am Eastern
• ☽ at 11° 21‘ Taurus □ ♀︎ at 11° 21‘ Aquarius | 8:31 am Eastern
• ♆ ▻ Aries | 12:34 pm Eastern
• ☽ at 17° 56‘ Taurus ✳ ♃ at 17° 56‘ Cancer ℞  | 7:40 pm Eastern

Monday conversations might hit walls or you could find yourself torn between comfort and desire. There's enough support underneath that it doesn't have to derail anything, but don't expect everything to line up neatly.

• Best for: Good food, physical comfort, enjoying what you have, generosity, saying something that's been hard to articulate, recognizing where you've been settling.
• Potential Challenges: Stubbornness, miscommunication, wanting two things that don't fit together, frustration when comfort and desire are at odds.

I’ll be sending out an email later today to talk more  about the Neptune transit.

Tuesday 01/27

• ☽ at 27° 29‘ Taurus ☌  ♅  at 27° 29‘ Taurus ℞ | 11:42 am Eastern
• ☽ at 28° 13‘ Taurus ✳ ♄ at 28° 13‘ Pisces | 12:57 pm Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 12:57 pm - 3:55 pm Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Gemini | 3:55 pm Eastern
• ☽ at 00° 01‘ Gemini ✳ ♆ at 00° 01‘ Aries | 3:57 pm Eastern
• ♂︎ at 03° 34‘ Aquarius ☌ ♇ at 03° 34‘ Aquarius  | 6:01 pm Eastern
• ☽ at 03° 34‘ Gemini △ ♇ at 03° 34‘ Aquarius | 9:52 pm Eastern
• ☽ at 03° 42‘ Gemini △ ♂︎ at 03° 42‘ Aquarius | 10:04 pm Eastern

Tuesday the pressure that's been building all month reaches a peak. The urge to act is intense and doesn't feel the least bit optional. Power dynamics demand attention, confrontations escalate, and whatever has been simmering is ready to boil over. 

This energy can move mountains when it's pointed at something that deserves that kind of force. It can also burn everything down if it has nowhere to go.

The good news is there's support for channeling it. Talk about it. Move it through. Let the intensity serve something rather than consume you.

• Best for: Confrontations you've been avoiding, decisive action, breaking through what's been stuck, channeling intensity into something that matters, ruthless honesty.
• Potential Challenges: Power struggles, aggression that escalates beyond what the situation warrants, compulsive action, the urge to dominate or control, burning bridges you still need.

Wednesday 01/28

• ☽ at 08° 32‘ Gemini △ ☉ at 08° 32‘ Aquarius  | 6:06 am Eastern
• ☽ at 13° 54‘ Gemini △ ☿ at 13° 54‘ Aquarius | 3:00 pm Eastern
• ☽ at 14° 13‘ Gemini △ ♀︎ at 14° 13‘ Aquarius | 3:32 pm Eastern

Wednesday the intensity is still there but there's more room to talk things through, connect ideas, and figure out what you actually want. Mercury is heading toward Venus, so the conversations lean toward desire, relationships, and negotiation rather than power struggles.

• Best for: Conversations about what you want, connecting ideas, negotiations, talking through relationship dynamics.
• Potential Challenges: Scattered focus, staying on the surface, talking without resolving.

This forecast tells you what's happening. The Crusade teaches you how to work with it with a monthly workbook, group coaching calls, and systematic methods for understanding transits in your own chart.

Thursday 01/29

• ☿ at 14° 57‘ Aquarius ☌ ♀︎ at 14° 57‘ Aquarius | 5:17 am Eastern
• 🌔 Waxing Gibbous Moon | 8:44 am
• ☽ at 28° 25‘ Gemini □ ♄ at 28° 25‘ Pisces | 2:56 pm Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 2:56 pm - 5:31 pm
• ☽ ▻ Cancer | 5:31 pm
• ☽ at 00° 05‘ Cancer □ ♆ at 00° 05‘ Aries | 5:39 pm Eastern

​​Thursday conversations about what you want go well. If it’s about relationships, money, or negotiations, say what you're after and it's likely to be productive. 

But that doesn’t mean it’ll be easy. There are obstacles to overcome and the emotions of it all could be a lot.

• Best for: Negotiations, conversations about relationships or money, articulating what you want, making agreements.
• Potential Challenges: Scattered emotions, feeling blocked or foggy even when things are going well.

Friday 01/30

• ☽ at 17° 27‘ Cancer ☌ ♃ at 17° 27‘ Cancer ℞ | 10:18 pm Eastern

Friday is a relief after the fubar nature of the week/month. 

There’s finally a bit of room to breathe and find little moments of generosity, enchantment, or expansive hope that can make it easier to get things done. 

Or enjoy something that makes life worth living. Or both. 

• Best for: Getting things done with less resistance, generous gestures, enjoying something that makes life worth living, protecting what matters, expanding what you care about.
• Potential Challenges: Overindulgence, avoiding what still needs to be addressed, promising more than you can sustain.

Saturday 01/31

• ☽ at 27° 27‘ Cancer ✳ ♅ at 27° 27‘ Taurus ℞ | 2:54 pm Eastern
• ☽ at 28° 37‘ Cancer △ ♄ at 28° 37‘ Pisces | 4:51 pm Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 4:51 pm - 7:08 pm Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Leo | 7:08pm Eastern
• ☽ at 00° 08‘ Leo △ ♆ at 00° 08‘ Aries | 7:23 pm Eastern

Saturday things click into place in unexpected ways. There's enough stability that you're not flying blind, but also room for a plot twist that works in your favor. If something has been stuck, today might be when forward momentum gets figured out.

• Best for: Making a move you've been waiting on, saying yes to something unexpected, shaking something loose that's been stuck.
• Potential Challenges: Subtle support that's easy to miss, assuming every surprise is a good one.

Sunday 02/01

• ☽ at 03° 42‘ Leo ☍ ♇ at 03° 42‘ Aquarius | 1:21 am Eastern
• ☽ at 07° 07‘ Leo ☍ ♂︎ at 07° 07‘ Aquarius | 7:06 am Eastern
• 🌕 Leo Full Moon  | 5:09 pm Eastern
• ☽ at 13° 03‘ Leo ☍ ☉ at 13° 03‘ Aquarius

Sunday’s Full Moon in Leo wants to show you something, but before you get there you have to walk through fire. Power struggles, confrontations, and the intensity that's been building all month in Aquarius demand attention first. 

By the time the Full Moon is exact, you'll know what you're dealing with. Whether that's something you're proud of or something you can't ignore any longer depends on what’s been building.

• Best for: Confrontations that clear the air, seeing something for what it is, standing your ground, letting something come to a head that needed to.
• Potential Challenges: Power struggles, tempers flaring, feeling consumed or controlled, conflict that escalates past what the situation warrants.

Until next time, my wish for you is the faith of a phoenix.  - Robin 💋
