MOON PHASES (New York time, USA):
FULL MOON in CANCER on January 1st at 21:24: Do you allow your fears to control your destiny, or can you trust the great? The Moon forms a grand trine in water with Neptune in Pisces and Mars and Jupiter in Scorpio – your feelings and intuition give you strong guidance, lighting up the big dreams and passions for a greater evolution. Opposing the Cancer Moon are the Sun, Venus, Saturn, and Pluto in Capricorn it is an invitation to focus and structure creativity. This Full Moon asks you to soften your defenses, open your hearts, and only feel.
NEW MOON in CAPRICORN on January 16th at 21:17: The first New Moon of this year features six planets in Capricorn, challenging us to take charge and commit to a course of action. Saturn is a powerful manifested and master builder. You might feel like you are standing at a crossroads, under pressure to make the right decision. Capricorn rules both fear and authority.
FULL MOON in LEO on January 31st at 08:26 and a Total Lunar Eclipse: The total phase of this lunar eclipse, also known as a Blood Moon, will be visible in large parts of USA, northeastern Europe, Russia, Asia, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific, and Australia.
The Leo Full Moon presents a powerful opportunity to heal your hearts and expand your capacity for love. And because it’s a total lunar eclipse, when your shadows are revealed, you can see more clearly everything in your life that is not yet love. Eclipses typically recur at the same degree of the zodiac every 19 years, and the same lunar eclipse happened in 1999.
The Moon is conjunct the Leo North Node, helping you to feel into the openhearted state that represents our highest soul growth. The more present you are, the more available you become to the love that is always around you. The Leo North Node urges you to jump in and play the game of love and the game of life.

IMPORTANT NOTES: In all my astrological research and interpretations, I use the Whole signs (house system) because it is the oldest house system (used by ancient Greek astrologers) who has proven its real value during history. When I am writing about aspects between planets, I use aspect from sign to sign; I am using a traditional way of interpretation of aspects. An aspect is not a must to be at perfect orb to have an effect. It is enough if we have a planet in a sign that forms an aspect with another planet from another sign. The most powerful aspects are: conjunctions, oppositions, squares and trines.
*) If you do not know yet your Ascendant you may find it very easy by using any other free astrology website or software that you can find on internet. For this calculation, you need: day, month, year, location, hour and minutes of your birth. If you have possibility try to use the Whole signs (house system) because it is the oldest house system (used by ancient Greek astrologers) who has proven its real value during history.
I wish you the best transits!
