JANUARY 24-27: GOOD CAPRICORN MOON

MOON IN SAGITTARIUS until 12:33pm EST on Tuesday, January 24 (see January 22) when it goes VOID OF COURSE until 5:45pm. Important practical actions tend not to work out as planned during V/C period. Inner Creative work and imagining future action is best for this time. MOON ENTERS CAPRICORN at 5:45pm and remains until Friday, January 27 at 2:18am.  LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Sextile Mars in Pisces. Ruled by Saturn, the ambitious grounded quality of this time is enriched by Mars' creative visionary force in Pisces. We are likely to pay attention to others' needs more than the usual Capricorn Moon because of Pisces' compassionate nature. This is a GOOD time to focus and act on the business of Artistic projects, or enter into any transactions/agreements. Relationships with business partners will tend to benefit from this time of mutual understanding. Actions initiated during this time will tend to have GOOD results. Notice that the alternative Capricorn image of the Sea Goat is chosen for this month. It is distinguished from the classic Mountain Goat by its fish-tail. With the Pisces Mars in mind, this image combines the climb out of the depths of the unconscious original waters with the ambitious goal orientation of the earthy Mountain Goat. This expanded sense of Capricorn does not experience the resistance to emotional expression that is often associated with cool Saturn. It acknowledges the entire axis of Capricorn and its opposite, Cancer - Earth and life-giving Water together. We have the opportunity this month to experience this fuller expression, as symbolized by the Last Aspect.

SCENE FOR THE DAY: Woman in Gold, 2015; Director: Simon Curtis. Helen Mirren plays Maria Altmann, a Jewish Holocaust survivor who's goal is the return of artwork taken from her family by the Nazis during WWII. With support from lawyer Randy Schoenberg played by Ryan Reynolds - who in this scene evokes an empathetic smile from even the Supreme Court Chief Justice - a Capricornian uphill battle ensues. The Klimt painting, Woman in Gold, is indeed returned to its rightful owner, a relatively small gesture of understanding and compassion to a single family as well as acknowledgment of horrible wrongs perpetrated on an entire culture.
