This Week Under The Moon
For the week of January 18 through January 24

Sunday am: the Moon is in Sagittarius
Optimism, idealism, and enthusiasm abound - be sure to pick up your share from the astrological atmosphere and spread it around your realm. Good feelings are almost always contagious and can sometimes, seeming effortlessly, put forth confidence (self & others) as well.

Sunday pm, Monday, Tuesday am: the Moon is in Capricorn
Be ready to assume responsibility and to provide security for someone, either through mental or physical means, and especially if this is a family member. The sign Capricorn includes a person's extended family and any relatives who do not live nearby. The Moon operates very well under this sign, and adds nurturing & support when needed.

Tuesday pm (New Moon), Wednesday, Thursday am: the Moon is in Aquarius
Something odd may happen around this New Moon time. With the sign Aquarius, you never know. There's a lot of indefinite energy in the air. Change is a keyword for Aquarius and it can happen at a moment's notice. The Moon may not be so comfortable traveling through this sign because it prefers a little more predictability, however the Universe depends on it in order to shed what is no longer applicable and therefore make way for the new.

Thursday pm, Friday, Saturday am: the Moon is in Pisces
Give your sensitivity a rest and escape from the outside world for a little bit. It's time to re-energize, but via a more contemplative state than an dynamic one. Find a calm spot for introspection and reflection, allow yourself to kick back and relax.

Check your astrology chart to find which house (section of your chart) has the current Moon sign on the cusp (the beginning edge) & apply forecast information to that area of your life as well.
For example, the Moon is in Leo and one of the suggestions is to entertain - however Leo is located in the 12th house of your chart, which is an inward energy place...then have a small, quiet gathering. By contrast, if Leo is located in the 1st house of your chart, an outward energy place...have a party!

It is interesting to note when the current Moon is in the same sign as your birth Moon and to see how the flavor of that day carries through the following 30 days.
