Solar trine Uranus (Jan. 13, 2025, 12:13 am PST)
The Solar in Capricorn trines Uranus in Taurus on January thirteenth at 12:13 am Pacific Time. The Solar is the image of a robust and wholesome ego, a superb sense of self and Uranus transits normally demand that we reinvent ourselves to a point. It may be liberating to open your self as much as new methods of being, nevertheless it may also be disorienting, particularly with the Solar in an indication like Capricorn, which is extra comfy following a well-defined playbook.
The Solar’s Sabian image is 24 Capricorn, A girl getting into a convent, and it speaks of getting into a contemplative area as a way to pursue an vital religious aim. Convents are additionally communal areas. At this trine, it is likely to be a good suggestion to get along with a pal, at the least, or attend a gathering of a bunch that you just belong to, to debate new plans or concepts.
Because the Solar and Uranus are each in Earth indicators, funds and well being may be topic to a few of these adjustments. Networking may be profitable, and exploring new methods of earning money may be productive.

Most cancers Full Moon (Jan. 13, 2025, 2:27 pm PST)
And now for the Moon Report, and it begins with the Most cancers Full Moon on January thirteenth at 2:27 pm Pacific Time, at 23 levels, 59 minutes, Most cancers and Capricorn. The Full Moon is the time within the lunar cycle after we’re made conscious of what was lacking in our New Moon plans and intentions. The Most cancers Full Moon reminds us that Capricorn’s worldly ambition isn’t all the things, and it might’t actually make us really feel fulfilled except we’re additionally being attentive to the emotional connections in our lives.
And the way are we doing with the stability between the 2? The Moon and Solar are in side to Mars retrograde and Pluto. On this Full Moon chart, this vitality is unstable and emotionally pushed. The Moon can be trine, and the Solar sextiles, Neptune. This Full Moon says that looking for the stability between ambition and emotional connections is very onerous proper now, that there are management points, energy struggles, and the features to Neptune level to misunderstandings or a bent to keep away from battle and drift into denial, or at worst, right into a sort of sufferer mindset.
The Sabian image for the Moon is 24 Most cancers, A girl and two males are on a little bit of sunlit land dealing with south. It’s an emblem that, to a point, is in regards to the harmonious mixing of all features of the self. The Solar is on the Sabian image, 24 Capricorn, A girl getting into a convent, that dedication to religious expression, affirming neighborhood help for the issues that we want to obtain.
Lunar Part Household Cycle
That is the Full Moon in a lunar section household cycle that started on July seventeenth, 2023, with a New Moon at 24º 56’ Most cancers. The First Quarter on this cycle got here on April fifteenth, 2024, at 26º 18’ Most cancers and the Final Quarter can be on October thirteenth, 2025 at 20º 39’ Most cancers.
So, we return in our minds to July 2023, and that New Moon at roughly 25 levels Most cancers, to attempt to bear in mind: What had been we centered on? What had been our intentions? What did we hope to have achieved over the approaching three years? This Full Moon is the chance to essentially see the place we’re at with regard to that starting level.
We’d have taken some sort of motion or seen one thing transferring ahead on these intentions at that First Quarter in April of final yr, however now we’re actually all the things as it’s. And we’re our household relationships and the way we’re feeling inside our own residence, inside our closest neighborhood and seeing if we’ve given sufficient consideration to that or if there’s actually been an excessive amount of consideration that we have now been placing behind Capricorn and that New Moon in Capricorn on December thirtieth.
Void-of-Course Moon intervals
Let’s have a look at the Void-of-Course Moon intervals for this week. On January thirteenth, the Moon in Most cancers trines Neptune at 8:45 pm Pacific Time, is Void-of-Course for 4 hours and 27 minutes, after which enters Leo on January 14th at 1:12 am. The Moon trine one other planet, because it goes Void-of-Course, suggests to us a present or a reward coming our means.
Here’s a likelihood to get into the behavior, as a result of Void-of-Course Moon instances, I feel, are actually good for eliminating habits that aren’t working for us and initiating good, wholesome ones. The behavior that we will create right here is about kindness towards these we love.
This Void-of-Course is after that sort of cranky Full Moon, so there’s a superb likelihood it’s going to have been a tough day. Contemplate simply placing on a film, popping some corn, having just a little snuggle session along with your human or furry members of the family.
On January fifteenth, the Moon in Leo squares Uranus at 8:10 pm Pacific Time. It’s Void-of-Course for 12 hours and 36 minutes and enters Virgo on January sixteenth at 8:46 am. A Void-of-Course Moon that begins with the Moon sq. one other planet signifies a battle or some sort of obstacle that we’re making an attempt to beat. Since this side is going on in mounted indicators, Leo and Taurus, stubbornness can actually be a part of the tone of this night. Perhaps use this Void-of-Course Moon to muster up the braveness to do one thing surprising and thrilling each every now and then.
I’ve usually beneficial to those who they simply make it a behavior to do one thing new frequently, however what Uranus desires is to be free. It doesn’t wish to be instructed it has to do something day by day. Right here we would pledge to do one thing new each every now and then, spontaneously. That is likely to be a great way to work with this vitality.
On January 18th, the Moon in Virgo trines the Solar at 6:01 pm Pacific Time. It’s Void-of-Course for 1 hour and 31 minutes after which enters Libra at 7:33 pm. The reward or reward of this trine is to get pleasure from doing the belongings you love to do, whether or not or not they give the impression of being to different individuals as if they’d be light-hearted and pleasurable. As a result of the Solar is in Capricorn, the Moon is in Virgo. These are each very diligent indicators that derive loads of pleasure, leisure, enjoyment from making issues work, from organizing one thing in the home, or sitting down with loads of spreadsheets and planning your objectives for the yr forward. They might not look very enjoyable to an individual who has loads of planets in water indicators or air indicators and want to be extra sociable, for instance, in a night. However do what it’s that pleases you, that appears pleasurable and enjoyable and also you don’t have to really feel as if it’s good to get permission from anyone else about the way in which you spend your leisure time.
Venus sq. Jupiter (Jan. 14, 2025, 11:48 am PST)
On January 14th at 11:48 AM Pacific Time, Venus squares Jupiter at 11º 59’ Pisces and Gemini. When two planets sq. one another, conflicts usually come up. Typically, they’re very crucial conflicts, sort of a option to clear the air in order that we will transfer ahead in a extra productive means.
Venus symbolizes the issues that we get pleasure from, however not essentially what we strictly want. When Venus squares Jupiter, we will generally go just a little bit overboard in indulging our desires. I feel the chance with this side is to be taught to understand what it’s that makes you’re feeling actually good and comfortable. And that normally comes right down to having a few of what you need with out sacrificing an excessive amount of – an excessive amount of cash, area, or peace of thoughts within the course of.
It’s form of like whenever you’re making an attempt to go on a eating regimen, or eat much less sugar, or drink much less. that whenever you overindulge in this stuff, it makes you’re feeling horrible, and but it’s actually onerous to withstand it. That’s sort of what a Venus sq. to Jupiter can really feel like. So, right here’s a chance, as a result of a sq. says, we’re going to take a look at it, we’re going to look at it, and we have now a chance to maneuver in a greater route of not simply utterly indulging our each whim, which is the attainable shadow aspect of Jupiter, however as a substitute to have a superb stability of what it’s that we wish, and what it’s that we want, and simply not overdoing it in any specific route.
Solar opposed Mars (Jan. 15, 2025, 6:39 pm PST)
The Solar in Capricorn opposes Mars in Most cancers on January fifteenth at 6:39 pm Pacific Time. When the Solar makes any sort of side to Mars, what occurs relies upon very a lot on how robust and wholesome and assured we’re feeling. We is likely to be feeling low, just a little bit down on ourselves. And if we’re, we would tune into that a part of Mars that’s very defensive, that lashes out at others, as a substitute of coping with our personal emotions.
We is likely to be in a scenario the place we have to go all out for one thing that we’ve had our hearts set on and discover that we get very a lot in contact with our fierce, aggressive aspect.
Should you’re feeling robust and excited for the brand new yr, nevertheless, that is a facet that may actually encourage you to get your plans underway. And infrequently with an opposition, we may be impressed and motivated by others. We observe doing issues in a means that basically seems inspiring, actually seems like a great way to do it.
Now, if you happen to do end up getting offended, bickering with your loved ones or the individuals you’re employed with, step again as a substitute of reacting. The Solar’s Sabian image, 27 Capricorn, A mountain pilgrimage, is sort of about retreat and pilgrimage, strolling away or counting to 10 earlier than we react in an offended means. Mars is on 27 Most cancers, A storm in a canyon, and that is about disaster resulting in transformation. You may be decided and motivated and meet the crises that arrive in your life with out changing into brittle and reacting angrily to obstacles. Right here is your alternative to follow being nonreactive.
Solar sextile Neptune (Jan. 17, 2025, 3:20 am PST)
The Solar sextiles Neptune on January seventeenth at 3:20 am Pacific Time. Right here is a chance to take imaginative, Piscean, Neptunian goals and switch them into one thing tangible. This might additionally manifest as a religious breakthrough of some variety. Take note of little issues as a result of they is likely to be making an attempt to let you know one thing. It is a delicate sort of a facet, and generally we simply must be just a little extra nonetheless in order that we will actually hear and see and sense messages coming our means.
However if you happen to’re a artistic particular person, if you happen to’re an individual who has simply been making an attempt to make a dream come true, these sorts of sextiles are fantastic as a result of the Solar in Capricorn may be very task-oriented. And it’s actually good at setting out an agenda after which working its means by it step-by-step, making issues actual. So, this Neptunian Pisces has all the goals, all the inspiration, and it simply wants just a little little bit of Capricorn to assist make it right into a actuality.
Venus conjunct Saturn (Jan. 18, 2025, 5:26 pm PST)
Venus makes a conjunction with Saturn on January 18th at 5:26 pm Pacific Time, at 16º 05’ Pisces. That is a facet that helps long-term commitments, like marriage, taking up a mortgage, any sort of main buy. All the issues we affiliate with Venus may be made everlasting when Venus comes along with Saturn.
You would possibly end up receiving insights on managing what you could have extra properly, placing your cash to give you the results you want, making investments that can assist construct your wealth.
The Sabian image for this conjunction is 17 Pisces, An Easter Promenade. It’s one thing about celebrating your spirituality with conventional rituals, and that’s very very like a marriage the place it’s a religious dedication and we enact this conventional ritual to point to the world that we’re critical about this different particular person and constructing a life with them.
If life feels actually troublesome proper now, ask for assist from household, associates, and even the universe, by way of ritual. Issues may be troublesome when we have now features to Saturn, and we might really feel proper now {that a} relationship or a monetary situation in our lives is de facto difficult. So ask for assist. I favored what Carolyn Casey stated, that the universe desires to assist, however religious etiquette requires that we ask. Ritual, even one thing so simple as burning a candle whereas stating our intention, is a means of politely asking the universe for the help that we search, an intentional option to do it. We might get readability merely about what it’s that we wish. Typically we’re probably not positive, and that makes it onerous to go after it.
Mercury sextile Saturn (Jan. 18, 2025, 11:38 pm PST)
Mercury sextile Venus (Jan. 19, 2025, 8:32 am PST)
Mercury sextiles Saturn on January 18th at 11:38 pm Pacific Time, and sextiles Venus on January nineteenth at 8:32 am Pacific Time. Mercury connecting with Saturn, it’s time for a actuality test. Are you telling the reality about your self, your objectives, your life? There may very well be a chance to revisit tales about ourselves that we would favor to overlook. This may very well be an opportunity to achieve a renewed perspective, an understanding of that story.
Relationships with Mercury individuals, siblings, neighbors, these might help you come to a clearer understanding of your self and your circumstances. This is a chance throughout these two features to determine what it’s we truly need, to maintain our eyes open for clarification by individuals, concepts, or conditions that delight us.
Solar enters Aquarius (Jan. 19, 2025, 12:00 pm PST)
On January nineteenth at 12 midday Pacific Time, the Solar enters Aquarius. It’ll be on this signal till February 18th. Aquarius is a hard and fast air signal, which implies that it actually is aware of what it is aware of. The mounted high quality, in fact, is about certainty and even stubbornness. Air indicators are associated to psychological processes. So, its motto is, “I do know.”
Aquarius, in trendy instances, has come to be related to the planet Uranus. They each appear to have a high quality of unpredictability or rebelliousness, however historically Aquarius is dominated by Saturn, and it’s rather more conventional in some methods than we have a tendency to recollect. I feel that this rulership by two such totally different planets fits Aquarius completely as a result of it’s so contradictory itself. It’s very conventional on one hand and alternatively, extraordinarily unconventional and rebellious.
Throughout Capricorn’s season, we set intentions for the yr forward. We’d provoke some new tasks or habits or routines. Throughout Capricorn’s season, then throughout Aquarius’s season, we solidify them. We resolve which of them are those that we’re actually going to run with and do one thing with all year long and additional out into the longer term – as a result of Aquarius is a future-oriented signal. It’s the season by which we take the chance to recreate ourselves. To do one thing in our lives actually otherwise than we’ve been doing it so far. To dwell our lives in such a means that we’re extra free, that we will innovate, that we will do the issues which might be actually vital to us, as a substitute of the issues that society has all the time instructed us we should do.
Listener Query: What does Pluto transiting the 7th Home Imply for Relationships?
On this week’s listener query, listener Candace writes, “Hello April, thanks for taking my query. I’m an Aquarius Solar within the seventh home. I went by a devastating divorce 5 years in the past, on the age of 51. With Pluto transiting my seventh home for the subsequent 20 years, does that imply I’m destined to be alone? Thanks for any perception.”
Candace, thanks on your query. I’ve bought to start my response with this little anecdote. Years in the past, my husband and I had been at a reader’s truthful at my native astrology group, and he bought just a little quick studying from a colleague of mine. This man checked out my husband’s chart, noticed that transiting Pluto was in his seventh home and flatly pronounced that he’d be getting a divorce. Effectively, it’s been a reasonably very long time in the past. Pluto has been and gone from my husband’s seventh home and we’re nonetheless married!
Pluto’s job because it transits your chart is to show over the soil and see what’s squirming round down deep within the issues of that home. I’d say that our marriage has undergone a specific amount of that sort of scrutiny and has modified and grown in all of the methods you’d anticipate from a wedding of a number of many years.
However what does it imply if you happen to’re not in a relationship? Effectively, listed here are some ideas. I ought to think about that this can be a time whenever you’ll be wanting deeply at the way you do relationship, who you might be in relationship, what you search and want in your dealings with different individuals. It’s particularly vital as a result of your natal Solar is within the seventh home. To an awesome extent, relationships are the way in which you study your self on the whole.
None of this precludes your having a relationship, nevertheless it does say that you just’ll must be scrupulous In seeing your self and others very clearly, being very trustworthy and fearless. You would possibly very effectively end up connecting with people who’re sort of Plutonian. That’s, possibly they’re in Plutonian professions, resembling science and analysis, psychology, the end-of-life business, legislation enforcement, and even one thing like plumbing. Or these individuals who “learn” form of like a Scorpio, with depth, bluntness, and an entire allergy to subterfuge. Ideally, a Plutonian form of particular person may be very clear about themselves, refuses to idealize you. But when they resolve to like you, you may know that you’re cherished as you might be, and they are going to be very loyal.
There are, in fact, destructive sides of Pluto. Cynicism, tearing others down, being controlling. These are very easy to identify. And if you happen to see them in an individual, run, don’t stroll, within the different route. The great qualities of quiet kindness, dedication to work and family members, and honor are additionally very straightforward to identify, and so they let you know that this can be a particular person worthy of your consideration and probably your love.
Candace, I hope that that helps. I’m sorry that you just had such a troublesome divorce. However it actually is rarely too late to be taught from the errors of an sad marriage in an effort to magnetize a contented one.
