Busy day as Mercury moves from Sagittarius to Capricorn. Whatever we’ve been thinking about or planning, now it’s time to take measured action and to make commitments. With Mercury square the Lunar Nodes, decisions may prove pivotal.

Any time a planet makes contact with the lunar nodes, we get a ripple of eclipse energy. And as I mentioned with the recent Capricorn New Moon on December 30, we’re in the midpoint of the eclipses — three months before a solar eclipse and three months after. As a result, January may be a time when we see the October 2, 2024 solar eclipse come to fruition as well as a preview of events to come with the March 29, 2025 solar eclipse.

For example, think back to January 2024 and July 2024. These months were the midpoint of the eclipses. We may have experienced notable events or made important decisions.

In other news, the Capricorn Sun makes a square to Chiron in Aries. This aspect is a bit more subtle. Chiron plays upon more emotional and psychic themes. Take note of old feelings coming to the surface, any pain points getting pressed upon, any emotional scabs we may be picking at. Chiron always gives us an opportunity to heal; we just have to see the bigger picture.

Do we have the courage to move forward, to let go, to take action? Transcend our ego and lower self? (Read: On Chiron, Suffering, and Knots.)

If you are in AUSTRALIA or NZ, this forecast applies approximately for January 9, 2025.
