Tip of the Week:
The Leo Full Moon on January 25 has everyone sharing inspiring insights and reflections about it. The first of the year and in the sign of the Sun are some of the good reasons to be excited. Commonly, it is referred to as the Wolf Moon. Interestingly, in some years it is in Cancer while during others, it is in Leo, like 2024.
It should be noted, however, that casually referring to it as the Wolf Moon with nonchalant confidence is an assumption because it was named differently by different cultures the world over, and the list of different titles is long, as might be imagined. Here is a LINK to learn more about the short list of various titles given by indigenous cultures of North America.
I have also read some posts that enthusiastically encourage people to plant their seeds while others are referring to it as new beginnings. Astrologically, the deeper truth is that the Full Moon is symbolic of releasing all that has culminated but which does not authentically align or hold much, if any, real importance, anymore. As well, regarding beginnings, a Full Moon signifies the ‘beginning of the end…’, of the current lunar cycle.
The two-week waning cycle is largely devoted to follow-through, but also to reflection and introspection to digest, assimilate, and refine, as well as begin the planning process for the actual seeding time of the next New Moon.
The best seeds are those that align with the themes of the sign it occurs in. Interestingly, the next New Moon occurs in Aquarius and marks the first day of the Year of the Wood Dragon.
This week’s Horoscope will shed some light on the Moon cycle for each sign, from the January 11th New Moon in Capricorn to the January 25th Full Moon in Leo.
Have a great week,

Weekly Horoscope:
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Since the New moon occurred in Capricorn, the anchor to this Full Moon in Leo was in your solar house of career, public life, and social standing. So, the emphasis now is on creativity and summoning a bold, courageous spirit to think out of the box. This includes innovation and perhaps also requires steps and measures toward reinvention.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
Seeing a bigger picture is the anchor theme for this lunation cycle. It includes recognizing the signs of the future that are coming fast now. What will thrive and what will not survive are questions to ask. Looking to the future with all four hooves firmly planted will guide you to direct your focus to what is truly important. Ask yourself, where can less prove to be more?
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
Deep changes are brewing and the New Moon earlier this month on January 11 activated your clear realization of them. Now with the January 25th Full Moon, the emphasis is on looking to the future with a detached and philosophical perspective with full willingness to adapt accordingly. This is one of those times when ‘who’ you know may prove more important than ‘what’.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
New beginnings on relationship fronts is a central theme now. It requires you to think critically, which includes a weave of empathy, instinct, intuition reason, and imagination. Change is in the air, and this will become increasingly obvious. For now, focus on where you can make wise investments of your time, energy, and money.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
Changes in your overall lifestyle were seeded by the recent New Moon on January 11. This includes health and the disciplined and strategic focus required to achieve it. Among the bigger challenges are pride, reaction, and reckless rebellion. Focusing to be clearer and more conscientious in your communications will help win the day.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
A creative burst of energy was activated by the January 11th Capricorn New Moon. Now with the Sun in Aquarius, the focus is on follow-through and refinement supported by creative, critical thinking. The Leo Full Moon is offering a nudge to get clear on what feeds your spirit and what does not. This process will continue, so take note and make a list.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Shifts and changes close to home have likely spurred you into action. Positively, you are feeling creative, inspired, playful, and excited to embrace the future. Attending to your health remains a core need and this process will continue, so be willing to ask the right questions of yourself and others and to take the time to learn what is required.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Many new thoughts, perspectives, and interpretations regarding what is possible going forward are running through your mind. This is triggering the impulse to make important decisions that will invariably lead to changes in your relationship life, perhaps on both personal and professional fronts. Meanwhile, you want attention, but you are happy to hide out in the open.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Your thoughts have turned to practical matters. These are connected to new knowledge. You may be dealing with silent fears manifesting as escapist tendencies, such as procrastination, or worse… The time is right to think out of your box and to consider new ways and approaches. Sometimes, the best way to do so is to take a break from the same old.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
The recent New Moon in your sign was destined to activate new initiatives. All being well, you have been doing so and are already in the consolidation phase. This likely includes deciphering what must go and where you need to bring matters to completion. As usual, practical considerations are at play, but not necessarily strictly regarding finances.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
What do you feel truly feeds your soul and what does not? This is an important question worth asking yourself. Doing so will produce new insight, answers, and at least considerations in preparation for the New Moon in your sign in a couple of weeks. Already, with the Sun there, circumstances should be leading you to consider future directions involving significant others.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Activations of your emerging sense of individuality have culminated in new considerations, prospects, and goals. These include a good deal of activity behind the scenes to prepare the ground and activate a sifting and sorting process. Exercising a new level of determination supported by realistic and practical consideration will help you feel grounded.
