Good morning everyone, and welcome to the January 22, 2023 edition of Moon Scope and the first of 2023! Yesterday, January 21st, was the night of the new moon officially, and it was in Capricorn. So, we have this current moon cycle rooting itself in cardinal earth. This tells me the underlying energy of this moon cycle will be fueled by 10th house issues like work and reputation.
This evening, the moon will be 3% illuminated, and if the sky is clear, we should see a beautiful waxing crescent. Tonight’s moon will be in Aquarius, which is the 11th sign of the zodiac, and Aquarius represents the air element and its modality is fixed.
During the first seven nights after the night of the new moon, the moon will be a waxing crescent. This is a time when action us highlighted. While the moon transits Aquarius tonight and tomorrow night on the 23rd, the universe will be supporting our desires for mental pursuits and gathering information.

Going to the library, reading through magazines, or just good old conversation might do the trick. As we gather this information, we do so with future endeavors in mind. Now, most people will tell you it’s not good to constantly live in the future; that’s true, and while we’d be better off finding ways to keep our heads in the present, there’s nothing wrong with contemplating the future for plans and goals.
Time, it’s the one thing we’ll all run out of eventually, so make the most out of it. You can do that by making well-informed decisions, so don’t feel guilty or like you’re wasting time if your research is for a good cause.
As always, with Leo as the polarity here, there’s going to be that struggle between intellect and emotions. Sometimes, not always, but sometimes an emotional response is what the universe calls for, and this is particularly hard for those of us who rely on logic. Case in point?
Whether it’s a well-thought-out decision, or throwing caution to the wind..DO SOMETHING! MAKE A DECISION!
