—TUESDAY FORECAST

Sagittarius/Capricorn Balsamic Moon—January 9

As things begin to feel more realistic—for better or worse—we are more sternly and coldly reminded of what is realistic, and what is not, but also—because value and self-worth is very much a foundational component within this story line: what is no longer working or no longer in alignment…

On December 28th I announced an offer to gift annual readings for those who begin a subscription with my substack for only $8/month and sustain this subscription for twelve consecutive months…

It was painfully humbling for me when no one subscribed.

Though, I was thrilled that none of my readers require such charity—for this I am grateful, as well, that my readers are already living their dreams and apparently successfully utilizing astrology within their lives each day…

Perhaps I should have also announced, though I no longer require such monthly financing, that the essential lack of balanced exchange is, again, beginning to energetically exhaust me… and that I was putting it out there, most literally, in request for a sign to continue, or not.

I suppose I received my sign.

This is nothing I take lightly—this page has been treated, honored, respected and protected as a creation that is uniquely mine, much like a child…

These daily lunar forecasts, I have always assured you, will be free—though I am quite certain few understand at what cost this actually implies. Free is rarely free.

I am craving the energetic exchange more than I ever have, as I now understand what that really means… and I am less and less inspired to learn the latest algorithms necessary to exist virtually.

To be honest—all I want to do at this point is delineate charts and offer readings, because it inspires my heart and aligns me with what I’m meant to do here in this lifetime… the writing that so many no longer have time to really read—it’s becoming so daunting. I used to prefer to hide behind the font, like the Wizard of Oz, with my Scorpio ascendant—inspiring my magic from behind the scenes… but now, with some of these upcoming planetary transitions, in my chart—I’m finally (fingers crossed—I’ll need some pretty obvious encouragement) finally beginning to want to just start talking it all out. Yammering and all.

There’s oh!—so much!—to say about so many upcoming celestial traffic! And, ironically enough: now that I finally have the time, all the time I never thought I’d ever have… I don’t have the time to spend to write it all out—I’ve filled it with oh, so much more.

And so, what an appropriate time–within a Capricorn balsamic moon phase applying a conjunction to Mars, in Capricorn, when the sun is co-present, approaching a new moon—to end something I have been so disappointingly, and obviously unrealistically, attempting for such a very, very, very long time…

I will continue to write, as appropriate, via my substack page for those of you who truly value my time and talents—and I appreciate you immeasurably: you keep me going, you restore my egoic doubts that my input really does matter, you put energy into my words.

Previous pricing rates will resume—

$111/first reading

$99/returning clients

$350/session—couples therapy sessions (3 session minimum)

I invite you to catch up and join the conversation, then, from here on out, at jamiejames.substack.com—maybe I’ll start writing monthly lunar forecasts? I am still considering recordings, videos, and live forums in the future for those who either subscribe and/or pay a fee, if there is such a demand.

It has been my honor to write to you on Facebook each day for the last nearly nine years… thank you for reading.

Oh, and the forecast for today has the energies compelling you to announce your loyalties, and being brutally honest about who you are and what you believe, while still acting within the best interests of the majority… and then most impulsively taking the bull by the horns to achieve a more appropriate balance and/or alignment to self.

Amen to that.

—MONDAY FORECAST

Sagittarius Balsamic Moon—January 8

Revelations abound today—for better or worse.

Particularly, these revelations are emphasizing the ‘learning from past mistakes… and the readiness to understand, forgive and support.’

These revelations may be heavily healing… offering, as well, something of a turning point.

Waiting for the right opportunity to act, or moment to acknowledge, toward something valuable—within revelations or otherwise—is also quite available today… and this would also, inadvertently, acknowledge some real inner growth and/or forward movement for yourself, or something rather transparent—perhaps too transparent.

The root of revelation, by definition, is to reveal…

For better or worse, what is revealed to you today could potentially provoke you to think, feel, or behave differently from today onward.

❝Nothing need be said; nothing could be said. There it was, all around them. It partook, she felt… to a specially tender piece, of eternity; as she had already felt about something different once before that afternoon; there is a coherence in things, a stability; something, she meant, is immune from change, and shines out in the face of the flowing, the fleeting, the spectral, like a ruby; so that again to-night she had the feeling she had had once to-day already, of peace, of rest. Of such moments, she thought, the thing is made that remains for ever after. This would remain.❞

—SUNDAY FORECAST

Scorpio/Sagittarius Balsamic Moon—January 7

As much as I love the symbolisms of a new year, I have been studying and observing astrology in real time for over a decade now—and if I’ve learned anything: resolutions are only effective when they are claiming the release of something…

Or, in other words: to proclaim in the stopping of doing something.

A new year is celebrated in the darkest, thickest of winter… there are no new beginnings in winter—the initiation of new habits or patterns come in the spring; endings and letting go are winter’s gifts, along with rest, retreat, and recuperation.

And envisioning…

So if your resolution is to stop something: smoking, drinking, overeating, sugar, gluten, or whatever else… chances are, should you do the work on your end, you’ll likely meet success—eventually.

If it’s to begin something… try the spring equinox instead when it’s celestially supportive.

Especially so this year—Venus is still in Sagittarius for goodness sake!—do you really think you’ll possess the gumption to take anything so seriously?! No… not until at least the 25th of January, when Venus catches up to Capricorn, with Mercury and Mars co-present.

Speaking of Sagittarius—the moon moves into Sagittarius today, offering a much-needed dose of liberation of spirit and curiosity in anything beyond ourselves…

Today’s lunar emphasis accentuates the notion of practice…

Practice eventually makes perfect—through Capricorn, never, by rigid definition, in Sagittarius—only to inevitably be questioned and challenged—in Aquarius—so that universal solutions or matters of interconnectedness may finally be available or resolved—within Pisces. Practice, now, within a balsamic phase in Sagittarius, could resemble simply, though boldly, envisioning, with a smidge of daydreaming, and the exploring of these new curiosities.

Encouraging, yet somewhat restless and directionless, willingness is in the air…

Though, as the sun, and now Mars, and quite soon—Mercury, are moving within the seriousness of Capricorn under the governance of a very sober and determined Saturnian motivation: with the moon and Venus in Sagittarius—there remains a lightheartedness of need and attraction toward adventure and spontaneity—anything your curiosity wishes to seek, it would be wise to try to steer it toward more realistic ambitions and/or reasonable outlets to eventually continue practicing more devotedly.

As for now, however, today and tomorrow—it’s as if you’re in between these two notions…

Try to take advantage of both versions of your reality, but to resist dwelling in the oh-so rosy Sagittarian whimsies after tomorrow.

❝Practice doesn’t make perfect if you’re doing it wrong.❞

—SATURDAY FORECAST

Scorpio Balsamic Moon—January 6

Continued plunging into the darkest depths of your own Underworld becomes a bit more… extreme.

Potentially.

Today, the enlightenment you are able to simply be present for could come to/at you in such absurd terms it may even feel imagined.

In other words, these sparks of enlightenment will not, and in no way, occur should you be determinedly seeking or desperately eager, or otherwise too mindlessly available for them.

To be so vulnerably surrendered—with yourself, with your fears, with your motivations, and with All That Is overall—within the darknesses of your own personal Underworld… it takes a particular courage to acknowledge oneself for who one genuinely is in the very most base acquiescences.

Oh!—what Light you may be capable of glimpsing…

Who could guess that there’s such brightness managing to illumine the darkest caverns—available only when one is willing to plunge down into the deepest depths of oneself on a potentially magical day like today—who would imagine the potentials and possibilities on offer when a darkest hour is dawning?

❝It was tricky to explain how much light and darkness could exist in the same setting…❞

—FRIDAY FORECAST

Scorpio Balsamic Moon—January 5

As y’all know I’m always relating the monthly ingress into Scorpio as plunging into the depths and darknesses whether you’re willing or not…

It’s that time of month again—and this month it’s balsamic.

When this time of month—within the depths and darknesses—occurs within the balsamic phase, it’s that much more intense.

The degree through which the moon connects with Saturn within this darkened balsamic phase describes a real inner, confrontationally honest personal responsibility to enlightenment… and to ‘an expansion of consciousness that brings a divineness of the ultimate sacredness of all life, or the fact that the divine spirit flows equally through all…’

How lovely a responsibility!? And how enlightened—within the depths of such seeming darkness.

Unlike other lunar connections to Saturn—though this one still quite heavily holds its weight into personal responsibilities—this much more energetic responsibility feels almost magical… awe-worthy.

Fated.

Still…

Sometimes it’s easy to become almost too eager to recognize magic and potential and symbolism in nearly everything,.. this is not that, nor should anything ever be that—that would be missing the point entirely. Rather, it’s requiring a keen sense of discernment—a matured outlook upon matters of meaning, of meaningfulness that actually matters.

Sure, there’s significance in all scenarios and situations…

But they aren’t all communicating the gospel to you.

Illuminations abound today—the responsibility, then, may begin to resemble something of a rigid deciphering… between what merely sparkles—and what is actually golden.

Often times, those golden illuminations and magical moments that live and linger within the divine—they do not introduce themselves formally, or loudly, with fanfare or embossed fonts upon invitation card stock… these moments of true divinity occur within the most mundane, quotidian, and ordinary of moments. You may even argue that it is presence, most precisely, most patiently, most passively, that inspires the potential for the impossible—not availability.

The moon’s opposition to Jupiter, however, could easily squelch any ability to simply be present with an elevated eagerness toward something promising, something hopeful, and something profound…

❝It is a denial of the divinity within us to doubt our potential and our possibilities.❞

—THURSDAY FORECAST

Libra Balsamic Moon—January 4

Today is an ideal day to go with the flow… and to enjoy yourself.

Further, ‘letting your hair down and releasing your inhibitions… it might even be difficult to keep your mind on work today,’ and if you were able to take the day off—wonderful.

Today is a day to relax, enjoy, flow, and release tensions…

And it just so happens that shamanic astrologer Raven Kaldera writes of this moon that it is a moon when “we revisit our relationship with our bodies and pleasure… it’s obviously a good time for sex; it’s also a good time for doing any sensual thing with yourself, from long baths to good food to pleasure in all ways—if you have a lover, spend time with each other and try to see the divine within, while not getting bogged down by the human needs…”

Please understand that this is not only about physicality, or just about sex./

It’s about finding ways ‘to channel ‘higher’ energies and ‘lower’ activities without glamorizing or devaluing… in a way that salves wounds.’

Acknowledging and honoring value, as well as self-value, is crucial now.

—WEDNESDAY FORECAST

Libra LQ Moon at 4°58’—January 3

This moon will illuminate the need for a break, a breather, or a bender of some kind, but not without its fair share of feeling awkward or undeserving…

Issues of fairness and irrational subjectivity are piqued at this time, as well as your feelings about these matters.

Ultimately, you likely need to take a moment to gain some composure in some way…

But, just as ultimately, it will likely come with a struggle to appropriately achieve without irrational feelings of guilt.

Back and forth, back and forth… through all of the feelings you may go today—but it would essential to remember that however it is you feel about any ease you’re experiencing is to be enjoyed and utilized, not wasted by guilt or shame.

❝There are two kinds of guilt: the kind that drowns you until you’re useless, and the kind that fires your soul to purpose.❞

—TUESDAY FORECAST

Virgo/Libra Disseminating Moon—January 2

Today was largely about wonderment, insights and deeper meanings, and a much more personally empowered focus upon solutions to problems…

Today’s moon was somewhat enhanced, as it connected to both Mars and Pluto through the final degrees of both Sagittarius and Capricorn, respectively.

Finishing things and finding conclusions are/were essential…

Once the moon moves into Libra it moves without aspect until tomorrow, though the underlying vibrations likely moved from matters of self-care to reconciliations with others—particularly through really listening to someone who needed heard.

—MONDAY FORECAST

Virgo Disseminating Moon—January 1, 2024

It’s not surprising to me that every year as the New Year strikes the sun is moving through a degree of Capricorn that describes growth and expansion…

As for the moon, this particular year, the moon connects to the sun, by trine, and thereby finds a reassured support and inner inspiration toward such a notion… the notion of ‘learning to make life interesting and being willing to experiment…’ and ‘encourage the development of distinctiveness by finding one’s own unique way of doing things and expressing themselves.’

Ultimately, these ideals of ours—yours, mine, and the ideals of the collective overall—through the perspective of a Virgo moon, need to possess a sustenance…

Further, the moon connects to Uranus through a degree that seems to encourage adventure—that ‘this could be the dayyou finally decide to start things rolling or get moving on some new project…’

How apropos for new year resolutions, indeed.

And finally, the moon finishes the day in application to a stationing Mercury, exact tomorrow morning just after midnight here on the west coast, through a degree that associates itself to the responsibility of protecting one’s own innocent expectations… as these are the ‘earliest awakenings to potential.’

With what is referred to as a beginner’s mind—to embrace one’s personal reality with an entirely open perspective, resembling the perspective of a child: everything is possible.

There are no limitations in realizing a dream or experiencing the wonders of life.

Happy H1/Q1 of 2024 friends—open to your dreams and take the first steps of living these dreams within your reality in real time.

❝Good resolutions are like babies crying in church. They should be carried out immediately.❞

—SUNDAY FORECAST

Virgo Disseminating Moon—December 31

Happiest New Year to you and yours… Cheers to 2024 💫

❝I wish you endless dreams and the furious desire to realize some of them. I wish you to love what must be loved, and to forget what must be forgotten. I wish you passions. I wish you silences. I wish you birdsongs as you wake up and children’s laughter. I wish you to respect the differences of others, because the worth and virtues of each person often remain to be discovered. I wish you to resist the stagnation, the indifference, and the negative values of our time. I wish you at last to never to give up the search, for adventure, life, love. For life is a wonderful adventure and no reasonable person should give it up without a tough fight. I wish you above all to be yourself, proud of being and happy, for happiness is our true destiny.❞
