Astrological Almanac for Saturday, January 8, 2021

(All times Eastern)
Today’s big aspect is the Sun-Venus conjunction. The Weekly Context Post deals extensively with this, so see here: https://www.lafond.us/blog/todays-astrology/astrological-context-week-of-january-3-2022/
TLDR: Planets close to the Sun are usually ineffective except when exactly conjunct (within a quarter degree). However, Venus is retrograde and still coming off the conjunction with Pluto, so while it may be a bit of a reprieve during the Venus retrograde, it’s not likely to be as nice as usual.
The Moon connects with Mercury this afternoon in a nice way, encouraging communication and connection. Tonight is a good time for planning and getting some tasks accomplished.
