“We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity, and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.” – Edith Lovejoy Pierce

Happy New Year!

Waning Luna continues in task-oriented Virgo all day. Perhaps this will serve to duly inspire us to double down on moving forward with those (ball and chain) NYE resolutions. 🙂 The Virgo Moon is excellent for any activity that requires attention to details.

Also, this morning, lovable Venus, in footloose and fancy-free Sagittarius, forms an exact square to Saturn in Pisces (8:25 am). Since Saturn and its exhaustive array of rings extending millions of miles out from the planet signifies restrictions or boundary setting, it could be that we are understandably feeling a little (or a lot!) walled in at the moment. Venus governs our relationships, finances, and values and when it is aligned with responsibility-minded Saturn, we are perceived to be more inclined to feel the weightiness of it all and what to do about it.

(Thought it was also interesting how Queen Margrethe ll of Denmark announced yesterday, during her New Years speech, that she plans to abdicate after 52 years and hand over the throne to her son, Crown Prince Frederik – reportedly catching everyone by surprise. Too, when I first heard the news, I immediately thought of this pending Venus-Saturn aspect today as it is sometimes correlated with the ending of ties or relationships, especially those that are viewed or regarded as more dutiful in nature.)

We also close out this first day of the new year, with messenger Mercury stationing direct in Sagittarius (10:07 pm) after a retrograde period that commenced on December 13th. In the coming days, our decision-making process ideally becomes clearer as Mercury begins to pick up speed.

Born On This Day: American Novelist J.D. Salinger in NYC, New York in 1919 (d. 2010).

“The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.” – J.D. Salinger, Catcher in the Rye

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.
