Weekly Forecast for Jan. 6-12 2025

Astro-Weather for January 6 -12 2025:

Happy New Year! Best wishes to you and yours for a happy, healthy and prosperous 2025! 🎇🍾

The year starts with Mars in retrograde, so overall the next 7 weeks are not the best time for bold new beginnings. The retrograde energy will persist until mid-April:  we'll be heading into Venus and Mercury retrogrades soon after Mars turns direct. 

But, all this retrograde energy is preparing us for a major energy shift that will start happening in May! The outer planets will start changing signs, one by one, and that's a huge energy shift! 

But, we're getting some energy refresh this week too: Mars retrogrades into Cancer, and Mercury moves into Capricorn.

With Mars retrograde in Cancer, the next couple of months are an auspicious period to put family issues behind you.  If you grew up in a toxic family environment and it still haunts you, or if you're currently living in one, these issues can once again come to the front.  January is a great month to seek professional counselling to deal with any family issues once and for all, and to finally put them behind you. 

Mars will stay in Cancer for a good long time - until April 17! It will turn direct on Feb. 23. 

Mercury in Capricorn is an excellent time to review your goals in life - including your career goals.  Are you making progress, or do you need to adjust the course this year? Mercury will stay in Capricorn until Jan. 27.

Thursday (Pacific to Eastern time) is the best day of the week for anything from practical matters to social engagements.

And Sunday is a fantastic day to spend with the family or at home.

Note: the dates in this forecast are for Pacific to Eastern time. 

✨  January 6:  Mars retrogrades into Cancer;  Mercury squares Neptune; Waxing Moon in Aries

Today might bring mental fog.  While you want to move forward and can feel impatient - it's a new year, after all! - it can be challenging today to take action that is well thought out.  Wait until mid-week, and you'll feel more clear-headed. 

✨  January 8:  Mercury moves into Capricorn; waxing Moon in Taurus. 

Mid-week (Wednesday to Thursday) brings much nicer energies for business and career. 

✨   January 12:  Mars trine Neptune; waxing Moon in Cancer. 

Mars trine Neptune is a very dreamy aspect. It's great for artists and charitable pursuits, but for everyone else, it can erode your drive for a couple of days.  The Moon in Cancer is inviting us to relax at home or with the family.  It's a great day to kick back or spend some time in the kitchen, if cooking is your thing! 

Moon Void of Course:

🎇🎇🎇 Welcome, 2025! 

Four outer planets all change signs, which is a rare and powerful energy shift.  What's more, Saturn and Neptune both move into Aries, forming a super-powerful conjunction that will peak in 2026.  In the past, it brought major changes in world leadership and big ideology shifts. 

There is more!  An equally powerful Uranus-Pluto conjunction is starting to build, Jupiter moves into Cancer mid year and teams up with Saturn - how nice! Will the real estate crisis finally be over? Tune into my webinar,  "Navigating 2025", to find out.
