Astrology for 13th January 2023 – Taking a picture...

After Mars turning direct quite late on Thursday 12th, this day will be a rather quiet and peaceful one. There will be just one major aspect affecting you, as the Sun in Capricorn at 23 degrees of the sign of the goat, makes an easy and opportunistic sextile to Neptune at 23 degrees Pisces.

This is gentle and compassionate energy. The Sun in Capricorn is in a practical mood, and Neptune is very giving and sacrificial. You will naturally help anyone out under this influence but try and do it in a way that will have some kind of tangible effect; Capricorn doesn't do hypothetical assistance. This is a sextile that can help to put some kind of form to an idea or vision, and it is great for those of a more creative nature to bring the art within us to life. It's like taking a photo, and then printing it out, so that we have a permanent reminder of the moment to place on the wall, or in the frame.

The creative vibe is enhanced through the Moon being in the sign of Libra all day. Early on it will oppose Jupiter, allowing us to expand our ideas, visions and knowledge, and then later in the day it will trine Mars, now moving direct (albeit very slowly), giving us all the impetus to act, create and promote what is in our minds. So a positive and useful day lies ahead for you, so open your mind, be kind and considerate, and let those ideas flow...
