Jan 13 – 19, 2014 The Week in Chinese Astrology

 Highlights this week are a FIRE DOG FULL MOON Wednesday at 8:52 pm PST, a lucky Rat Friday, and a volatile Tiger Sunday.

Mon Jan 13 is Wood Monkey day when Moon trines Neptune for inspired creativity. Improvise, ad lib, make it up as you go along! Lots of big squares, including Venus square Mars relationship tension, so lighten up. Energy builds to full Moon on Wednesday. Monkey day luck strong for Monkey, Rat, Dragon & Snake. Monkey hours 3 – 5 pm.

Tues Jan 14 is a Wood Phoenix (Rooster) day when Moon conjuncts Jupiter and trines Neptune to live large & dream big plans. Everyone want to think outside the box & innovate. Sun conjuncts Venus to bring in beauty, prepare for full Moon tomorrow. Lots of squares, especially with Pluto, so do not initiate an argument. Phoenix day luck strong for Phoenix, Ox, Dragon & Snake. Phoenix hours 5 – 7 pm.

Wed Jan 15 is a Fire Dog (red Dog) day on a FULL MOON. Dog values honesty, loyalty & integrity. Get clear about your team, goals & values when Horse year begins in two weeks. This full Moon conjuncts lucky Jupiter and is opposite the Sun and Venus for art, beauty, sensitivity, and appreciation of relationships. In these final days of Water Snake year, slow down and take care of self and others. Dog day luck strong for Dog, Rabbit, Tiger, & Horse. Dog hours 7 – 9 pm.

Thurs Jan 16 is a Fire Pig day. Diplomatic Pig energy helps with miscommunication during Moon opposite Sun & Mercury. Kind Pig energy can calm down the influence of Mars, still in a testy square. Moon trines Uranus so try something new to channel that Mars fire. Pig day luck strong for Pig, Tiger, Rabbit & Sheep. Pig hours 9 – 11 pm.

Fri Jan 17 is an Earth Rat (yellow Rat) day when money matters. Moon sextiles Mars for strength, new courage & ability to get the job done. Can succeed alone, or in a group because Rat loves the pack. Still lots of squares in the heavens so don’t be mean, accuse, or blame. Leadership skills are rewarded. Rat day luck strong for Rat, Ox, Dragon & Monkey. Rat hours 11 pm – 1 am.

Sat Jan 18 is a DOUBLE OX day; an Earth Ox day in a Wood Ox month. Hard-working Ox deserves a break! Plan some quiet time to refresh & relax this weekend. Lots of squares, including Moon square Saturn, so people could behave selfishly. Can feel isolated or lonely, perhaps a bit too serious. Ox day luck strong for Ox, Rat, Snake & Phoenix (Rooster.) Ox hours 1 – 3 am.

Sun Jan 19 is a Metal TIGER (white Tiger) day to live life and enjoy! Moon trines Pluto to get to the depth of things. Mercury trines Mars for some new energy. Interesting for an out-of-town day trip or new adventure. But still lots of squares, especially Venus problems, so don’t get mad at your partner or be harsh with friends. Tiger can have a temper! Tiger day luck is strong for Tiger, Dog, Horse & Pig. Tiger hours 3 – 5 am.
