The Planets this Week: January 8 – 14, 2017

Aired Monday, 9 January 2017, 9:00 PM ET

Find out how the planets will be affecting you this week with your host and astrologer Kelli Fox.

We have a very intense Full Moon in Cancer on Thursday. This is not an ordinarily intense Full Moon but a supercharged one! With Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto making challenging connections we had better hang onto our hats!

Usually during the Cancer Full Moon, you can develop a warmer, more loving spirit in your home and with people you’re close to. You may feel a sense of contentment with the quality of people you have in your life. With the t-square to Jupiter confidence, energy, bounce — these qualities are evident everywhere this week, probably to excess. In fact, the big problem is one of inflation. We just don’t know when enough is enough. Be very careful not to overeat, overreach or be too self-indulgent. The possibility is high that lots of folks will take on too many projects or too much work, in a brief moment of I-can-do-anything mentality.

The Full Moon also forms a tsquare to Uranus so there will be a strong, unpredictable energy. People will feel like doing what they want, and forget the consequences. Willful behavior is certain to be on display somewhere nearby. Defiance and indiscretion, too. Disruptions to the daily routine are likely and no one will have the patience to deal with them.

With the conjunction and opposition to Pluto this Full Moon promises complex power issues as long-hidden secrets and other information bubble to the surface. Our focus and passions are much more laser-like than usual. We go for the burn, but if we’re too dogmatic, forceful or stubborn, we can easily burn out. It’s so tempting to look around with a critical eye and see what everyone else is doing wrong, but remember, a person can only change themselves and no one else.
