Moon in Cancer

Full Moon of Capricorn-Cancer is exact at 3:09p PT | 6:09p ET | 11:09p UT

Do members of Congress, specifically the House, "believe in" Mercury retrograde? If not, why not? That began on December 29 and continues until January 18. As of this writing, they have taken nine votes to determine a new Speaker with no winner. This is not "bad," in fact it could be good, as is REview and REconsidration during any Mercury Retrograde period. That is a lesson for your own life if you are REtrogressing in appearance. REpentance is good, as is REconsideration of beliefs, data, and procedures.

Further, Mars is retrograde, which happens only once in three years or so, in the sign Gemini, the sign of Donald Trump, and he is involved in the Speaker negotiations because he supports McCarthy although some of his own most ardent supporters oppose him. Nothing seems simple during MR. Reconsideration can become re-re-reconsideration. Some even want Trump to REturn to Washington and run for Speaker himself (that official does not have to be a member of Congress). Not at all likely but it shows the accuracy and reality of the astrological phenomena of the moment. There is also an intent, on the part of the REbels, to REvise the House rules so that any Speaker can be REmoved more easily by vote of members. 

Friday: 'A quiver of arrows' suggests the varied techniques of those pushing for their desired outcome in the House. It also suggests that you have your own quiver of arrows or techniques, strategies, and plans for whatever you wish to accomplish. Some of them may remain idle in the 'quiver' until the time arrives to employ them.

Speed? Not recommended, yet 'the racers are at full speed at a racecourse.' McCarthy, Donalds, Jordan, Scalise, and others in the House? Or this could be a symbol of gambling if you are attracted to that in any form, though I cannot recommend it during a Mercury- plus-Mars-retrograde period. People who are usually immune to scam artists might succumb to one during a time like this. Krystal Ball calls this "the golden age of the con."

We should not forget that Venus is forming a trine with Mars, lasting by ten degrees from January 2-16 (exact this coming Sunday). 'A woman nude is looking at her reflection in a pool of water.' There could be 'dalliance and self-love leading to complications and entanglements.' There is egotism and carnality; but also artistic tastes and abilities.

There are 'powers of expression,' maybe related to sound, whether music, poetry, felicity of speech or body language. 'A lyre is lying upon a wreath of flowers.' Some may 'enunciate in harmonious, persuasive language a new phase of philosophic truth that is subtly compelling.'
