Control and ambition are the hot topics this week. The Sun, Venus, and Mars are all in a rare tight conjunction, with Mercury and the asteroids Juno and Vesta running nearby, all in Capricorn. Capricorn energy craves clear goals and organization, room to grow, and control over the surroundings. On a bad day, Capricorn can hide insecurities in overweening ambition, dominating control, compulsion, and power over others.
Who is in charge? Where do we have sovereignty—these planets want to know. This week, those Capricorn planets oppose Jupiter, which magnifies whatever it touches, making the energy extra Capricornian, and poses Jupiterian freedom as the opposite of control.
This Venus, Sun, Mars in a tight, rare, three-way conjunction begins a political cycle that will live out at least nine months. The worst of it pretends to be logical and built on questions of security and competence but is built on Capricorn’s shadow side of insecurity and fear.
This Capricorn line-up can repeatedly bring our focus to the big picture, to politics and the organizations of our world. It wants us to ponder the nature of leadership, and ask what is an unhealthy, even pathological, need to control others is, and what is healthy control. How do we gain healthy control of our own lives and steer our boat in a good direction?

It can be hard to wrench our eyes off the global view long enough to do our own work. The best of Capricorn reminds us to have a clear vision, the symbol of the Mer-goat, with the mermaid's tail and the mountain goat front, at its highest note can go down to the bottom of the ocean of collective vision, find a true dream, and walk it competently and gracefully to the top of the mountain.
This will be an action-packed week with strong emotional torque on the big screen. Let’s do what's needed to stay grounded, connected to beloveds, and on target with our own life projects.
Don't let them kidnap the brain space. Midweek, fresh air comes back into the room, and new possibilities arise. The end of the week could bring new openings for possibilities, friendship, and aesthetics.
Day By Day:
Friday, January 9: Take care of personal relationships, don't take the tension we feel in the world out on one another. Don’t give orders, but do offer willful, muscular energy constructive outlets. Emotions run high, conflicts will come to a head, so can dynamic connection as the Sun conjuncts Mars and Venus opposes Jupiter midday; use this energy wisely. Be careful around unbalanced action between genders (both between people and between our inner polarity) as both Venus and Mars are activated. Watch irritation levels and mechanical and personal explosions if things go wrong. If things go right, this dynamic engine can drive great progress. Love and accomplish.
Sun conjunct Mars 4:40 AM, Venus opposed Jupiter 10:34 AM, Moon square Mercury 5:33 PM.
Saturday, January 10: This could be potentially a day of extremes- motivation, confrontation, or liberation- as the Sun and Mars both oppose Jupiter. It will be hard to just sit around and do nothing. Let life’s small and large challenges- not just irritate- but mobilize into improving action. A desire to live large can expand our life or cause us to overestimate abilities and feed overweening ambition; ask if the action is good for just ourselves, or for all sentient beings, before proceeding. The mood quiets down towards the evening as the Moon squares Venus, people may still feel unsettled, but don't take it personally. This is more of a global condition.
Sun opposed Jupiter 1:41 AM, Mars opposed Jupiter 7:24 AM, Moon square Jupiter 8:07 AM, Moon square Mars 8:11 AM, Moon square Sun 8:48 AM, Moon square Venus 11:53 AM
Sunday, January 11: The Moon enters suspicious, focused Scorpio, squares Pluto, and brings serious thoughts and possibly a need for a moment alone. This energy is powerful for spiritual practice, concentration, and visioning, but can descend to sulking retaliation. Give people room if they're pulling inside; send love, but don't poke them; we have potentially deep work going on inside. Be there when they're ready to resurface.
Moon enters Scorpio 3:55 AM, Venus square Chiron 9:12 AM, Moon square Pluto 10:02 AM.
Monday, January 12: Let's be careful what we obsess upon under this focused Scorpio Moon, make sure we’re not just reactionary but are working towards a worthy goal. As the Sun squares Chiron, we may have a chance to take some hard-won wisdom from our past- remember a problem we've overcome, a challenge we faced, a hole we dug ourselves out of- remember the resources we invoked then and apply them now. Or offer them as a resource to others. It’s a good time for our country to reflect on what we’ve learned through earlier woes and choose a better way forward.
Sun square Chiron 1:31 PM, Moon sextile Mercury 2:43 PM, Moon trine Jupiter 7:45 PM.

Tuesday, January 13: Though moods stay deep, and willpower stays muscular, look for a potential shift in the winds as the Scorpio Moon sextiles the Capricorn planets this morning. Goals are clarified, and collaboration feels more fruitful. Light glimmers through emotional clouds as the Moon enters Sagittarius later; shift focus and breathe deep, find something laugh-worthy or lovable, connect to nature; watch a snow goose fly overhead. Feed the soul to make it through these challenging times.
Moon sextile Mars 12:42 AM, Moon sextile Sun 2:48 AM, Moon sextile Venus 6:26 AM, Moon trine Saturn 10:32 AM, Moon opposed Uranus 11:48 AM, Mars square Chiron 3:33 PM, Moon trine Neptune 3:58 PM, Moon enters Sagittarius 4:33 PM, Moon sextile Pluto 10:53 PM.
Wednesday, January 14: Speak up, but don't say too much or expose a secret unintentionally, speak and listen with intention as Mercury opposes Jupiter. Encourage other people to communicate and share their stories. We’ll revere great listeners, old friends, and treasure what provided love, safety, and beauty in the past as Venus sextiles Saturn tonight. We could all use some comfort. Look around, somebody needs reassurance or to know you're still there.
Mercury opposed Jupiter 1:16 AM, Venus sextile Saturn 11:18 PM.
Thursday, January 15: Raw places in our country’s soul need healing, people still need to speak about some pain in the past that got triggered this week, but can bring forth healing and understanding they learned the hard way as Mercury squares Chiron. Some fresh possibilities come through women, the arts, or the anima in the culture; Venus encourages us to speak up and take the lead as it trines Uranus. Relationships that had sticky moments earlier in the week might now find a new gear that works for all involved if we are creative. Look for unusual alliances and interesting connections in odd places.
Venus trine Uranus 8:21 AM, Moon square Saturn 11:16 PM, Mercury square Chiron 11:26 PM.
