“I believe in intuitions and inspirations…I sometimes feel that I am right, I do not know that I am.” Albert Einstein

“Like the wolf, intuition has claws that pry things open and pin things down. It has eyes that can see through the shields of the persona, it has ears that hear beyond the range of mundane human understanding.”Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Friday’s Full Moon, the Wolf Moon, is at 16 degrees of Cancer at 6:08 PM EST. This is an emotional time and bodes well for inner reflection.

The Sun is conjunct Mercury opposing the Moon which indicates a good time for intuition as opposed to linear thinking. The Moon will also be forming a positive alignment to Uranus indicating the potential for flashes of insight that can provide solutions.

The first part of this month – until the 21st or so provides in general, a good time for reflection. It’s best to heed intuition and let thoughts and ideas emerge organically.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”The seed grows into knowledge and life.”

“Last night
the rain spoke to me
slowly, saying,
what joy
to come falling
out of the brisk cloud
to be happy again
in a new way
on the earth!” Mary Oliver

“Dreams are the best evidence that we are not as firmly shut in our skins as we believe.”Fredrich Hebbel

Many spiritual traditions believe this time of year (from 12/25 to January 6) to be a time when the veils are thin and it’s possible – with attention- to access higher levels of  spiritual guidance. This is particularly true in the beginning of this week as retrograde Mercury in Capricorn  will be forming a beneficent aspect to Neptune in Pisces. This alignment creates an excellent opportunity to build a bridge between higher aspirations, dreams and visions and  pragmatic methods of working with them in new ways. The early part of the week -in general- is a good time to provide extra downtime for this reason.

One Monday the Sun squares Chiron. This, in addition to the Mercury/Neptune alignment can bring to light more clearly the areas where evolution away from old programming would be beneficial.

Venus moves into Aquarius on Monday. Venus is Aquarius is a lover of freedom and authenticity in friendship and relationship- moving away from the more traditional ways of Venus in Capricorn.  Venus is moving up to a sextile with Jupiter – making this a good week  for socializing and getting together with friends. This is an expansive aspect that can bring  optimism and good luck.

Also this week the Sun will trine Uranus in Taurus – a great time to add innovation to your thinking about things you are trying to accomplish. This can open the door to a new cycle where new alternatives and approaches can be accessed. It’s a good time to allow your mind to explore new ideas and stay away from limited thinking.

The Full Moon is Friday January 6 at 6:08 PM at 16 degrees of Cancer. More on this later in the week.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”An unexpected thunderstorm.”
