The year is starting slow as two planets are still left retrograde right now, but that does not mean positive developments are not possible, only that it will take some time to build momentum. Yesterday’s Last Quarter Moon in Libra encouraged you to release what you have been holding onto that is preventing you from aligning your thoughts with actions with what you hope to create in the future. Today the Moon moves into Scorpio, raising your feelings’ intensity as you crave liberation from anything and anyone that is restricting your progress. Early in the day, the Scorpio Moon will square off with Pluto in Capricorn, raising the stakes and making you want to speak out again about what feels oppressive within your life. While Mercury is retrograde in Capricorn for a few more days, there may need to be some important conversations from the past that need to be brought back up and finally dealt with. Nothing should be excused, and nothing should be taken as normal or what is expected, especially if it violates your truth or needs in some way. Part of creating freedom within your life is declaring freedom from those who distract you from your purpose or goals. This may bring up some challenging conversations, but this is part of what should be happening during Mercury’s retrograde, as it is a chance to reflect on various aspects of your life and improve them. The dance of life always realizes you need to move a few steps back to move ahead finally. It can sometimes feel challenging or even counterproductive, but this dance allows you to grow and learn from what you have experienced so that you can become better.

There is some wild card energy today in the cards, though, as Venus in Aquarius squares off with retrograde Uranus in Taurus, representing that there may be some surprise events related to your relationship, and some outcomes may be as well. However, this is the work of the universe in continually reminding you that the best things cannot ever be planned or controlled. Instead of thinking that something unexpected means negative, make space to believe that it could be the best thing to happen. The energy of this year is different than years past, and with it, many things will come together in new ways that previously seemed impossible. It is a year of healing, of fantastic surprises and of realizing that it is a blessing that the best-laid plans did not work out.

Today’s energy with the Scorpio Moon, Venus in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus, touches on themes involving your personal beliefs, home, and career. It may be time for some rearranging of priorities or to see where you can be flexible so that neither your home nor career prevents growth in the other.
