Week Commencing January 25, 2021

*all dates and times are Australian Eastern Standard

It’s a Full Moon week – our first Full Moon of 2021- which means energy levels will peak and our mood will intensify. This is a particularly emotional Full Moon with lots of other astro energies meeting in ways that will test us. In the days leading up to the Full Moon it’s good to focus on getting things done.

Weekly Lunar Energy and Mood Forecast for the Week Commencing January 25, 2021 #lunar #mooon #moonphase #forecast #astrology #selfcare #lunarselfare

Waxing Gibbous Moon in Gemini

The week kicks off with the Waxing Gibbous Moon in communicative Gemini where it transited on Sunday. Continue harnessing the social Gemini vibe- catch up with friends, do some networking and bring some fun into your day to start the week.

This will be a good time to collaborate with others or to do any kind of communication. In your business, you may want to spend time on scheduling your social media, catching up on your emails or doing writing. It’s also a good time to study or learn new things, to research or do anything that stimulates your intellect. Rosemary and Lemon Myrtle are great oils for focus and knowledge if you need some extra support to get into the Gemini mood.

Waxing Gibbous Moon in Cancer

From 5:18pm on Monday until 4:51am on Tuesday the Moon will be Void-of-course and it will then be stationed in sensitive Cancer. When the Moon is in her home sign, she can bring a more nurturing energy. We might feel like being a bit of a homebody, and for our thoughts and actions to be centred around family, stability and security. Cancer Moons remind us to nurture ourselves as well as others- why not cook up a delicious comforting meal to share with friends and family to harness those Cancer Moon energies. The essential oil blend Anchor is great to use for extra support.

Waxing Gibbous Moon in Leo

On Thursday from 3:56am - 12:55pm there is another Void Moon period before the Waxing Gibbous Moon will be in outgoing and playful Leo. Leo helps us to tap into our inner child- dance, play, see the magic that surrounds you. Work on your passion projects, do anything creative, and set your soul alight as you work to finish everything before the Full Moon.

Full Moon in Leo

On Friday at 5:16am the Full Moon in Leo will be exact. The Full Moon in Leo is when the Moon is stationed exactly opposite to the Aquarius Sun, which fully illuminates the Moon here for us on Earth. The Leo Full Moon is a time that we can express ourselves freely and confidently. It will shine the light on our self-expression whilst also bringing an energy of expansion and lion-esque courage so that you can feel brave and courageous in making what you truly desire happen.

How can you bring more self-love into your life and connect with your passions? In doing your Full Moon releasing, let go of anything that is still lingering from 2020 and let go of what is holding you back, stopping you from playing all out and being confident with being seen and in expressing yourself authentically. How can you be more creative and be more of a leader? Is there a way that you can tap into your inner child more, what needs to go to honour these? Map all of this out in your My Unstoppable Life Journal on Friday or Saturday.

The Full Moon is also a time to celebrate and what better energy to do that than when the Moon is Full in Leo. We also have the Sun and Jupiter meeting at the same degree which will amplify the Full Moon energies. Leo loves to expressive, to give love generously and to be creative so get ready to have some fun. Work with the fire element (think candles or go big with a bonfire!) and focus on your heart chakra as Leo rules the heart. The oil Ylang-ylang blended with Wild Orange or the blend Cheer are great Leo Moon oils.

Mercury Retrograde

Saturday is the start to the first Mercury Retrograde period of 2021. When Mercury is in Retrograde be aware of there being mishaps with technology- back up everything! - travel and transport- double check all itineraries and timetables and make sure your car is in good working order- and communications in general.

Over the next three weeks, do reflective or shadow work to explore how you can do things in new ways in your life to best harness the innovative Aquarian season energy. How can you bring ore innovation to your life to improve the world you live to make it a better place for all? How can you change the way you think to be more open-mined and nurture your intellect?

Try diffusing Clary Sage, Mandarin, Cypress and Cedarwood to help ground into these energies. From 11:54am on Saturday until 6:03pm there is yet another long Void Moon before the Moon transits organised Virgo.

Waning Gibbous Moon in Virgo

On Sunday the Waning gibbous Moon in efficient Virgo is a good time to practice gratitude and to reflect on the previous two weeks from the New Moon. Harness those organised Virgo vibes to de-clutter your pace and to plan out your schedule for the next two weeks. Keep in mind that energy levels will start to decrease with the Moon entering its Waning phase of the cycle.

This might be a good time to focus more on your healthy habits- do some Virgo analysis of what is working in your life and what you need to do to be healthier and more wholesome in your body. Be wary of being too self-critical though and don’t let your inner perfectionist become too strong. If this happens, use Cypress for extra support.
