Today is Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2012. Monday’s New Moon was accompanied by so much activity, it almost seems strange that the newly waxing Moon is already on its way out of Aquarius, ingressing Pisces at 4:11 am EST. The Moon in Pisces has a visionary, dreamy, romantic and poetic feel, which sounds rather pleasant. It certainly sounds emotionally gentle, which may be welcome for many of us. But the Moon is not operating in a vacuum – and it seems that the dreaminess you may feel today is at odds with other corners of the sky.
For one thing, Venus, also in Pisces, is making a square to the Great Attractor today into tomorrow. The Great Attractor is that deep-space point in mid-Sagittarius that is pulling our solar system toward it, while it in turn is rushing away from us. At essence, this setup brings tension to the issues of attraction and repulsion in your life — and that can manifest in many ways, with a variety of emotions involved.
The Moon catches up with Venus tomorrow, which could amplify whatever you’re feeling about who and what you do or don’t attract and why, as well as who and what you are attracted to (or repelled by). That’s where some of the rest of the sky, with more mental leanings, may provide some tools. The trick, as is often the case, is to be mindful of those thoughts (negative mental loops are hot helpful; using some logic to notice what you don’t know, however, is) and to reach for the right tool. No sense grabbing a sledge hammer when a sculptor’s chisel will do, or a paint roller to touch up the portrait you’ve been working on.
