Astrological weather report for the week ahead, January 8 - 14

This weekend starts out on a light hearted note as a playful Gemini Moon connects with the cosmic lovers...Venus and Mars...but don't be fooled because by Saturday afternoon the Moon shifts into moody and sensitive Cancer, and a Cancer Full Moon and Mercury sort of guarantee the week ahead will be interesting and future oriented.  (For astrology in Atlanta visit ACASHA )

The Full Moon is always about reviewing your plans and making corrections in the course you have taken before moving on. And when the Full Moon is in Cancer it time to review your connection with home and family. It is time to ask yourself if your plans and goals reflect what is most important to you. Do they allow you time to stay connected with your family?

Mercury, still sextile both Neptune and Saturn, moves into Capricorn on Monday, and as it does expect to begin making plans for the future based on what you "believe" (sextile Neptune) your goals (sextile Saturn) to be. This on the heels of Mercury trine Jupiter sort of assuring that the goals will be expansive and because Mercury is also square Uranus expect more new thoughts and ideas that will challenge you to rethink what you thought you already knew.

The challenge this week is to be flexible and don't commit to any plans that will not allow for alternatives. 

Used positively, all these Mercury aspects seem to be enhancing our ability to envision new possibilities. And this is followed by a Sun/Mars trine that will gift us with the strength and vitality to begin to move forward with determination and courage. Plus, this surge of energy comes at about the same time Mercury conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn, which should enable you to transform your old mindset to one that better serves where you want to go in the future.
