Author calculated January 21, 2023 New Moon Zodiac Chart via Astro.com It may finally feel like 2023 is picking up steam with this January 21st New Moon in Aquarius. That’s because Mars and Mercury have already turned direct and Uranus does the same one day after the new moon. Moving forward with New Year resolutions should get easier now. There’s serious concern toward relationships and money with Venus conjunct Saturn, however the tone is lightened with both planets in Aquarius. The sign of the water bearer can bring advancement, which complements new beginnings. I especially like how partnership asteroid Juno in zodiac sign Aries is conjoined by exact degree to Jupiter. This suggests strong potential for wealth and expansion through significant relationships. As an added bonus, that Juno-Jupiter “conjunction” makes an opportunistic sextile aspect with the new moon. Be bold and courageous when seeking out important people to assist your endeavors. These alignments are truly beneficial. Below are key dates to watch during this waxing new moon cycle from the following planetary transits. Aside from the Moon, the cosmos starts vibing at least one or two days before the aspect patterns are perfectly synchronized. January 24 – 25: On Tuesday the Sun in Aquarius sextiles Jupiter in Aries for uplifting growth in any area of life you choose. Beneficial Jupiter vibrations are further emphasized Wednesday as the Moon enters Aries and connects to Jupiter that evening. Both are generally considered very positive planetary indicators. January 26 – 27: Venus enters Pisces on Thursday at 9:33 pm Eastern time. Venus in Pisces until February 20 is a lovely time to attract peace, healing and harmony. Healing is further accentuated with an Aries Moon conjoining Chiron early on Thursday along with Mercury in Capricorn square Chiron very early Friday. Note: Chiron also relates to inflation matters. Feeling challenges of higher living costs also needs healing. Consider how money planet Venus can best support your dreams. Go where the flow takes you. January 29: A great day for taking actions on inventive thoughts and communications with Sun trine Mars and Mercury trine Uranus. A need for flexibility as well as surprises may show up as part of a new path for progress. February 1: More opportunities for all kinds of healing are indicated. With the Sun sextile Chiron, I’m encouraged the Fed might only raise interest rates by 25 basis points after the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) concludes. February 3 – 4: The Sun squares Uranus on Friday while Venus squares Mars on Saturday. These closely combined energies may signal tensions surrounding unexpected events, relationships and money. We’re almost at the next full moon (Sunday, February 5). There tends to be a lot of “shop and spend” momentum on or near full moons. I suspect volatile markets on February’s first Friday. More buying than selling is conceivable. Uranus can be unpredictable, wild and free; as above so below. Here’s a look at the above mundane synastry comparison of the USA Sibly birth chart with this new moon transit: House area 1: Transiting Mercury conjoins natal Eris. This suggests discord in government communications and coincides with a critical debt ceiling debate underway. Can you believe the US is $31+ trillion dollars in debt??!!! House area 2: Transiting Pluto conjoins natal Pluto. We’re still in the midst of great financial change and transformation. Past issues are highlighted around January 26th when a transiting life force Sun shines a spotlight on USA’s natal South Node. (Perhaps memories of the last debt ceiling debacle?) House area 3: Near January 24 transiting Venus plus Saturn’s approach conjoining USA’s Moon infers an emotional, sensitive time regarding relationships, money, and restriction. The public mood is serious about societal conditions. House area 6: Mars is barely at its usual speed since turning direct on January 12. Mars still connected to Uranus implies continued issues with job layoffs, vaccines or national health matters during this waxing Moon phase. For financial astrologers and investors, here’s what stands out to me in the above synastry comparison of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) birth chart with this new moon transit: House area 8: Transiting Venus conjoins NYSE natal Pluto. This suggests monetary transformation, especially for any Aquarius-related tech stocks. Realist Saturn is nearby accenting a need for solid financial investment structures. House area 10: Transiting Neptune is hovering at the NYSE 23° Pisces Midheaven point (see black upward pointing arrow). Neptune indicates a lack of clarity, faith in big dreams, and deception. IMHO it’s an unfortunate transit for the NYSE, signifying the underlying status is not as it appears. The above synastry comparison of the natal Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) birth chart with this new moon transit has at least three impactful planetary connections: House area 10: Transiting Mars sits at the DJIA Midheaven point (see black upward pointing arrow). In ancient Hellenistic and mundane astrology, Mars is considered a malefic (malicious) planet. It’s also a trigger planet often inciting negative events. I should mention a harsh pairing with transiting Mars conjoining DJIA natal Pluto is imminent. House area 7: Transiting Jupiter and Juno connecting to DJIA natal Mars denotes bold actions in partnership matters. This alignment suggests attention on mergers and acquisitions, plus companies collaborating together on more ventures. Defense and sports stocks with Jupiter in Aries are sectors worth reviewing for gainful investing. The above synastry comparison of the NASDAQ birth chart with this new moon transit has some noteworthy contacts:
House area 1: Transiting Uranus is closely linked to NASDAQ natal Saturn. We can expect some ingenious reorganizing or disappointing surprises in the structures of tech companies: potentially more job losses, or discouraging earnings reports. House area 10: The January 21 New Moon conjoins NASDAQ natal Mercury. It almost looks like a brand-new beginning for this index after the hellacious 2022 bear market. Surprisingly, I’ve noticed lately this sector often seems less volatile than the DJIA. I conclude it’s largely due to Pluto right now being more amplified by transits than Uranus. House area 11: Transiting Venus linking to NASDAQ natal North Node on the new moon may deliver a positive albeit brief bounce. It would be nice to see the momentum linger into the last full trading week of January. House area 12: Transiting Chiron connects to NASDAQ dwarf planet of discord, Eris. A healing of financial wounds from 2022 still appears to be on tap for the collective – investors and consumers alike. Thank you for reading my forecast. Until next time, I wish you a joyful and prosperous new moon cycle. © 2023 Trudy Carol Disclaimer: The above content is for informational and educational purposes only.

This December 23, 2022 Capricorn New Moon at 5:17 a.m. Eastern Time emphasizes finding mature ways to manifest our goals while dealing with varying skyward trends. There’s an overall theme of ourselves as unique individuals and a collective species being challenged as we try to expand our lives with Sun and Moon square Jupiter. This New Moon square to Jupiter also correlates with a challenge of inflation. In financial and mundane astrology, Capricorn links to real estate, corporations and government. Significant news or events in these areas are highlighted for the next two weeks. Chiron in Aries also represents high inflation. Chiron turns direct less than one hour before this new moon is exact. This rare transit timing of Chiron direct with the Capricorn New Moon resonates increased collective consumer and economic focus on inflation. Chiron switching to direct motion suggests progress toward inflation resolutions can be made. Currently 5 astrological planets are in zodiac sign Capricorn, transiting in this consecutive order: Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury, Pluto. An abundance (aka “stellium” = 3 or more) of Capricorn energies underscores broader market, consumer and investor sentiments focus on building long term and life structures. We’ll be inclined to solidify gains, reduce losses, organize portfolios, and structure practical life/business interests. This stellium is quite timely to end 2022. Consider the planetary order of Capricorn energies to best personally utilize this unique stellium of cardinal energy:
The Sun and New Moon are both aligned at a sesquisquare aka sesquiquadrate angle to Uranus. For the markets this triplet meeting suggests amplified tensions for technology stocks and cryptocurrencies. An excited desire to break free of something and/or sudden surprises in these sectors are likely. We find the FTX debacle is highlighted and under scrutiny. Remember that Capricorn is guided by Saturn, which highlights limitations and restrictions. These can feel like an extra test since the New Moon square Jupiter prefers growth with no boundaries. Being so near the December Solstice and on the cardinal axis suggests an extended theme for 3 to 6 months of these New Moon dynamisms. With Uranus still retrograde, these next two weeks offer a perfect time for reviewing all tech stocks, ETFs, Funds, and crypto investments. Expect surprises and maybe more shake ups regarding these equities since Uranus is within a 3° orbit of influence to the North Node. It’s advisable to maintain Capricorn discipline and patience. Jupiter just re-entered Aries and is at 0° Aries, approaching Chiron now at 11° Aries. Chiron entering Aries started a new inflationary cycle. Jupiter expands whatever it touches, so moving toward Chiron it surely could exacerbate issues of inflation. It will take a long time for the Federal Reserve to reach a target of 2% inflation. I always like to mention my favorite quote from a LOST TV episode: “People are the variable”. Whether Jerome Powell or Vladimir Putin. IMHO these are now the two most important people on my global watchlist. Jupiter in Aries might also expand warrior energy. We should closely monitor what is said about military initiatives or civil unrest in the news. Putin speaking with Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko earlier this week is concerning. Further study of Putin’s natal chart is warranted. Unfortunately, we shouldn’t expect the war in Ukraine to end any time soon. Jupiter in Aries enlarges all things linked to Mars. The red planet is known for action, assertiveness, aggression and war. This geocosmic stimulus points to these specific sectors when investing: military defense, metal weaponry; surgical supplies and sharp tools, vaccines; mining, steel, iron; competitive sports. Jupiter in Aries adds a fiery temperament for worldly and personal expansion. We’ll all have added energy to initiate projects and be more self-oriented toward individual needs. That’s not a bad thing. Just remember Aries’ warrior spirit can become too large if not kept in check. For this reason, the Ukraine war and other world conflicts may flare up. The Sun and Moon are in a 90° square angle to Jupiter. This infers there are still challenges and adjustments we must make between our individual aspirations and collective growth or wealth acquisition. Being grounded and taking personal responsibility for one’s own actions is key. Two important areas Jupiter represents are travel and legal matters. Expect enormous tension involving these agendas. Media will focus on tourism, global transport and high-profile court cases for up to 6 months. Professional experts will be under pressure to forecast matters correctly, protect their interests, or solve legal battles. For added new moon impact, Jupiter is precisely semi-square to Uranus for a third time. This pairing suggests tested situations along with surprises. Jupiter here makes us feel bold, yet challenges exist especially in technologies and cryptocurrencies. Further tech layoffs amid Jupiter in Aries suggests more entrepreneurs opting for self-employment and utilizing tech platforms for success. A few more financial thoughts with two additional charts below: The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) natal chart in synastry with this new moon shows transiting Mars retrograde at 10° Gemini near the DJIA natal Pluto and Midheaven. This implies great dynamic force in the DJIA for at least this 2-week cycle duration if not longer. For investing now, it seems the Dow is favored over NASDAQ. Saturn in Aquarius has been depressing technologies and cryptocurrencies. The NASDAQ natal chart in synastry with this new moon reinforces continued pressures and limitations for these sectors. Transiting Saturn conjoins the NASDAQ Sun and North Node, while transiting Uranus conjoins the NASDAQ natal Saturn. Transit Mars is opposite NASDAQ Mars, which again heightens volatile trading for this index.
