Fiery passion is injected into the start of this new week as Moon exits from dreamy Pisces, and enters into warrior Aries on Monday January 22. The Aries Moon is favorable for new beginnings, start-up projects and fresh ways to tackle what remains unresolved. By getting in-touch with our deepest hunger; we can make the necessary sacrifice to chase down what we desire to conquer. 

To take control of the week, move forward by embracing small baby steps. Create something positive that delivers joy, with the chance to shine.

But to sit idle through this high-powered energy - life can shift and develop into a fiery ball of restlessness and agitation. Rather than be in control of our own doing - some may participate in the 'act of busyness', by bossing everyone else around.

By casually throwing the ego, with a sense of entitlement into a sensitive situation, will instigate another to defend themselves, especially as the Aries Moon squares confused Mercury and demanding Pluto, then conjuncts rebellious Uranus on Tuesday January 23. Stay aware and mindful.

When we talk about settling the world's problems, we're barking up the wrong tree. The world is perfect. It's a mess. It has always been a mess. We are not going to change it. Our job is to straighten out our own lives. Joseph Campbell

Change is in the air again this week. It would be wise to know exactly what we need to feed ourselves with, and the right way to capture it. The seeds that we've been planting since last week's New Moon can offer guidance, along with the personalized tarot cards in the January tarotscope.

How we approach our next step can be influenced from a forceful Mercury/Pluto conjunction on Wednesday January 24, a hopeful Mercury/Jupiter sextile on Thursday January 15, and an edgy Mercury/Uranus square on Sunday January 28. Either we brainstorm our way to be brilliant and negotiable... or we could be thrown off course, from the high winds of someone else's development.

When all's said and done, all roads lead to the same end. So it's not so much which road you take, as how you take it. Charles de Lint

Mars in Sagittarius. We may be ready to take charge of the life and love that we've been creating so far. This opportunity will be more available to us as fiery Mars (energy) exits from secretive Scorpio on Friday January 26, and enters into unshrinking Sagittarius during the next six weeks. Our creativity will lead us, moving us through a wide open space of adventures and clumsy experiences - so that we may potentially learn and grow from where we have only existed.

On the path of transformation, you must be willing to give up your false beliefs and self-limiting stories. Heather Ash Amara

Maybe you've already experienced it, but doors have slowly been opening again, since Saturn (restrictions, responsibility) left Sagittarius after a two and half year visit. And with so much room to explore and pursue once again; we can re-sculpture an accurate portrayal of who we've grown to be during the last few years. We can carve out a wider and braver path to strengthen our direction and goals. Or we may need to stumble and trip over a fabricated image, that was built from our own perception.

I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do. Leonardo da Vinci

When we decide to take control of the reins to get where we're going, this will require much responsibility with a lot of self-discipline - even more so with karmic Saturn transiting Capricorn. And as Mars transits philosopher Sagittarius, a new level of truth will be available, through our own personal efforts in the playground of life, love and sex. And what better way to learn about who we are - and who we aren't - as life steadies her reflective mirror and casts back a true snapshot of our reality. Starcana weekly tarot: Lack of experience causes a flux. [ThreeWandsRx/EightSwords] Have a productive week! ~Starcana xx
