Every so often, I like to title this blog “What’s Up Uranus?” I switched it up to “Uranus is Chafed” because I’m super mature, and also because it is accurate. Although I think Uranus is chafing US more than he is chafed himself. But anyway...
Uranus is my ruling planet, and he is making himself known throughout this month. There are a couple of really optimistic aspects at the beginning of the week, and then things turn to feeling frustrated and nervous. Accurate!
If you’re working in an office (anyone remember that?), keep a low profile this week and don’t stir the pot. If you must ask for something, do it on Thursday, when Sun conjunct Pluto increases personal power. But it would be wise to see how these transits land in your chart as well. I would just say don’t ask for much this week, smile and nod, and avoid confrontations.
The New Moon is not gentle or simple either. Working on your personal goals is a great idea. But this moon makes a number of potentially tense aspects to Uranus, Mars, Pluto and Jupiter. (Moon conjunct Pluto, Mars square Saturn, Jupiter square Uranus, Mercury square Uranus, Venus trine Uranus)
In the USA, this New Moon falls in the 2nd house of values, money, and material things. We are still trying to figure out what we stand for and believe in. What do we really value and how? And WTF are we doing with this economy?
In Trump’s chart, this hits the 5th house of creativity and expression. I think he will be self promoting like always. I don’t expect him to take any responsibility this week, despite the building pressure. But the Full Moon in Leo in a couple weeks lands in his 12th house, and I think what was hidden in the dark will be illuminated around then. Of course, that’s after the inauguration, but according to what I’ve read, he can still be impeached after January 20th. He can also try to pardon himself, which seems absurd. I’m not sure I feel he’ll try it, but if he does, it will backfire. Watch that full moon on the 28th carefully, but more on that later!
Have a good week and keep your head out of Uranus.
In writing this week’s scopes, my aim is to offer the best path to peace and gentle energy despite what’s going on. So I’m utilizing Angel energy along with astrology to help us be our best and our least bajiggity selves.

1/11 Jupiter sextile Chiron - compassion and healing, connection with those who inspire
1/12 Mercury square Uranus - change and excitement, jittery feeling, nervousness
1/12 New Moon in Capricorn - This moon has a little bit of everything: power struggles, frustration, tension...This lunation is potentially intense. It is also complex, with a solid 6 significant aspects to other planets. Tension and frustration are likely to still be high. This is a great time to work on manifesting career goals

ARIES - Follow your fire and your passion and any bread crumbs of joy available to you. Joy begets more joy. There are opportunities for excitement and adventure and lots of reasons to embrace play. Arch Angel Gabriel is helping you this week. He is the messenger Angel and is also a great helper for creative pursuits, confidence and play. Embrace your inner child.
TAURUS - Meditate and sleep. You probably don’t hate that advice. Having Uranus in your sign require you to get really good at grounding and taking care of yourself. This last week was very stressful. So turn off some of the noise and seek the safety of Arch Angel Michael. He can help stabilize your energies and help you feel more secure. Do some reading. Eat root veggies to help with grounding and nourishing yourself.
GEMINI - While you love choices and options, sometimes decisions can be difficult. While the noise of your own head can be plenty, you also have a lot of other energies stuck on your right now too. Scrub and detox! Do whatever spiritual practice suits you to clear yourself. Arch Angel Raphael will be on standby to help you do this, all you need to do is ask. Once you’ve washed yourself of everyone else’s guck, the decision you need to make will be a whole lot easier.
CANCER - Overwhelm might be an understatement, with all the world feeling so charged and unsafe. You have help around you, so try not to fall into a negative thinking pattern. Nurture yourself first right now before you think of nurturing others. This may feel weird to you. Money may be a stressor this week too, but there is help for the complicated issue that may be swirling in your head. Reach out. Arch Ariel is your Angelic helper this week for all your material and self love needs!
LEO - While it may feel like a ridiculous effort right now, think positive. Life is truly full of wonders and you are one of the few people who might be able to see that in the current times. Really “positive think” the hell out of everything this week...because if you can find inspiration, you can inspire the rest of us. Arch Angel Uriel is your Angel for this week and this task, as he will help you tap deep into your Higher Self knowledge and wisdom. Think of Uriel as a pocket sized sun for you to carry around this week.
VIRGO - This week the solutions you seek may come from compromise. The key words for your week are: judgement, forgiveness, patience, self control. Hey, no problem right? Well you have Angelic help in the form of Arch Angel Zadkiel. So while you may be tasked with what feels like too much work, and surrounded by people who are unyielding, you have help. All you have to do is ask for help with the situation and Zadkiel, among others, will be there to inspire the situation.
LIBRA - You detest all the fighting and hate and unrest that is happening right now. And while you feel powerless to bring things into the balance you so love, it isn’t all on your shoulders. As a true optimist, you are able to see the possibilities for growth and beauty in the chaos and the breakdown. Arch Angel Michael is at your side to not only protect your sensitive heart, but to influence any situation you may find yourself in where you feel like the mediator.
SCORPIO - You have permission (not that you’d ask!) to put your attention on your personal life and family during these troubled times in society. In fact there is something to celebrate either happening now or coming soon, and you should not feel guilty for feeling happy. Raphael is your go-to for letting go of guilt, and infusing any family situations that need healing.
SAGITTARIUS - Your manifesting abilities are on point this week, despite the chaos around you. Arch Angel Raziel can help you tap into the Divine energy needed to get your goals on track and draw in the people you need to help you. Your thoughts must be trained to stay in the positive lane, though. So if you find yourself feeling too skeptical or jaded, ask for Raziel’s help in keeping your vibration high.
CAPRICORN - You’ve put in so much hard work over the last couple years. You will soon see the fruits of your labors. Currently you may feel really jaded and downright negative about the world. Arch Angel Jeremiel is near you to help you with compassion and letting go of the past that holds you down and makes you feel bitter. A brand new cycle is here, not just because its a new year, and you will have some awesome new beginnings if you can keep your heart open.
AQUARIUS - Well with Uranus, your ruler, being so active this week, you should not be surprised if your mind is very active and you get sudden bursts of insight. Keep a notepad by your bed, or use your phone to record these bursts. You above all other signs know that there is order in the chaos, and that change is not pretty, but it is beautiful. Arch Angel Chamuel will help you love yourself when you feel low, and this will keep your creative and thought energy flowing.
PISCES - If you are in a position to make an uncomfortable choice this week, and feel afraid about the outcomes, ask Arch Angel Michael for guidance and protection. Arch Angel Ariel is also coming through for you to help you in any kind of partnership. You may have to compromise something to make this decision. Get clear and write some things down about what you can and can’t give on. Once you set your mind to your choice, the energy that is so uncomfortable within you will settle down right away!
