Planetary Activity

None

Best Days:  While there are other days during this time frame that are fine, these are the best of the bunch. What do I mean by the best? The energy is flowing, the moon isn't void and there's a greater likelihood for happy and/or productive outcomes.

Jan. 5, 7, 8

Best Avoided: The energies on these days aren't favorable for new ventures or any activity where you want or need a definite result. If you must schedule something, you may have to think on your feet, or there may be a need for patience or flexibility.

Jan. 3 (void moon)

Notable Aspects

Jan. 05: Venus sextile Neptune

This is a mild influence that tends to stir the imagination, inspire romantic feelings and promote happy daydreams. If you have a number of things on your "to do" list today, there's a good chance you'll put a few of them off because the nature of this energy promotes relaxation over action.

Jan. 08: Venus Rx conjunct the Sun

This is a delightfully self-indulgent influence that stimulates an appreciation for the finer things in life, so don't be surprised if you find yourself making an extravagant purchase. If you do, keep the receipt because with Venus retrograde you may quickly become bored or disenchanted with it.

Of course, not all of the finer things in life are (or have to be) expensive, such as enjoying a romantic interlude, socializing with good friends or a do-it-yourself spa day. Despite retrograde Venus, this energy inspires self-confidence and is favorable for creative pursuits, as well as meeting new people.

Well, that wraps up this week's forecast!
