FRIDAY, 1/28/2022

The sun in Aquarius shares a healing aspect with the centaur Chiron, currently in Aries. This evening is a time to heal all past wounds, particularly those that have affected our ego and drive.

By the end of the day, we will have put a bandage on situations that have caused us pain or trauma in the past. Although these issues might take a long time to get over, today is the first step in the process of healing them. As long as you tend to them over time, it won’t be hard to fix situations and relationships, especially the one that you have with yourself.

Mercury retrograde and Pluto connect in Capricorn tonight, giving us stamina and power. Words have meaning (and strength) and can result in arguments if they aren’t chosen carefully. Taking the time to respond to a messy situation will be better than impulsively firing off an answer. Think about the right verbiage to speak instead of saying anything just to keep the conversation light. Don’t be shy about how you assert yourself. Stand tall and proud knowing that your feelings are legit. They represent your heartfelt and tender emotions.

Venus stations direct a little after midnight tonight. Mercury’s conjunction with Pluto adds powerful punctuation to Venus’ return to direct motion by increasing our intellectual capacity to clarify our communication with others. However, self-control is required to temper the use of these powerful energies. Today’s intensity may bring the revelation of hidden hostilities. The Moon goes void-of-course this morning at 10:59 AM PST and won’t arrive in Capricorn until early tomorrow morning. We may have some tendency to say the wrong thing — before eventually realizing what the right thing would have been. We’ll do better to simply take time to consider today, rather than pushing too hard.

2022 LUNAR CALENDAR

2/1/2022 NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS: Your relationship with your emotions might be more complicated, because Moon in Aquarius has a strong need for emotional freedom. However, when you are in a group of people, it is easier for you to understand your feelings and free yourself from negative emotions such as fear, anger and jealousy.

2/8/2022 FIRST QUARTER MOON IN TAURUS: Your safety depends on the need for stability, which is not easy to satisfy now. You have to learn to accept change as part of your life. The basic problem is finding your own self-respect in order to ensure that you do not mistakenly seek it in material things. When you accept yourself for who you are, it will become easier for you to find peace and tranquility in the outside world.

2/16/2022 FULL MOON IN LEO: You feel safe in moments when you can impress others and get praise and admiration. Yet, when you get into the spotlight, you may find yourself at a loss. Maybe you should admit your fear of criticism and your inability to accept criticism. It is very important to accept feedback and use it for improvement.

2/23/2022 LAST QUARTER MOON IN SCORPIO: Moon in Scorpio creates the need to delve into your feelings as deep as possible. You desire meaningful emotional exchanges now more than at any other time even if it is not easy and you are forced to change many things. Shallow relationships do not satisfy you, because they are not purifying enough.

DAILY ORACLE

Have you been allowing your imagination to run amok and dream up a nightmare that seems to have come true? Fear not, for whatever dreaming you did in the past can change today as you dream anew.

Wake up from the perception that everything is wrong. Lizard Spirit asks you to open your eyes and consciously dream a better dream. What would it look like to already have what you desire and be the one you wish to be? How might it feel to work toward co-creating this new dream as a reality in the world of the senses, drawing it out of the world of dreams and building it in the world of form?

Trust in your ability to dream anew. Honor it today.
