Written in the Planets for Tuesday, Jan. 28
Emotional complexity and possibly confusion are likely continuing today: Mars in Sagittarius makes its exact square to Neptune in Pisces, with Venus and the Moon nearby. Yet there are ways to find your bearings, even if the current is difficult to read.
One is to keep coming back to facts — as in, information you can verify, ideally two or three ways. Mercury and the Sun in Aquarius are lending some of the levelheadedness necessary to sort through things. They also describe the ability to focus on more clear-cut priorities, though doing so will need to be a conscious choice.
If you’re trying to sort through your feelings, ask yourself if your words and actions match up. You can apply the same question to the behavior of others if you’re getting mixed signals.
If the answer to any of these questions is, “I don’t know,” that’s a good sign to pause rather than forging ahead with an action (or reaction). Same if you feel conflicted about what you really want.
Note that the asteroid Pallas (strategy) is making a conjunction to a slow-mover called Quaoar (family patterns) in Capricorn. There is information and even wisdom to be found in the ways previous generations of your family dealt with things.
Material resources (and how you structure or preserve them) are a likely area for this; how you handle your spending and savings is a great example. So, too, the emotional ‘stuff’ surrounding such things. If you’re hearing echoes of familial tendencies in your current situation, pay attention to what you can use constructively and what you’d rather sidestep.
