PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY January 13 2025 to January 19 2025 Monday January 13 Wolf Moon Here it is! The first Full Moon of 2025 is lighting up our skies. Being in sensitive Cancer (which is ruled by the Moon), its effects will have extra impact. The idea that the Full Moon stirs up emotions and provokes bizarre behaviour can be traced back to ancient times; today researchers acknowledge that it affects sleep patterns and moods. Tonight's is steeped in Celtic tradition; the Wolf Moon represents hungry, howling wolves. Linked with change-making Uranus, expect surprises... but not the scary kind! Tuesday January 14 Risk and Reward Think of the courage it must have taken for Dr Jesse Bennett to perform a successful caesarean section on his wife. It was back in 1794! Pioneering spirit leads us into new territories; not just geographically, but in all walks of life. In the legacy of the Full Moon, which was linked to innovative Uranus, we can all be inspired to push beyond our normal thinking patterns. Today, with a willingness to explore ideas and try new things, we'll find it surprisingly easy to make life-enriching changes to our daily routines. Wednesday January 15 Hats On! Hang onto your hats! It's National Hat Day in the US, when people are encouraged to don their fedora, baseball cap or favourite beanie to celebrate this historically important piece of clothing. Headwear used to be a way of showing social status - a bejewelled crown being the ultimate display of power and wealth. These days, whether we wear one to protect ourselves from the weather or to look good, they still make a statement about our identity. Today, whether you wear a hat (or not) projecting positivity brings inner riches. Thursday January 16 Top Hat Yesterday, we were talking about the way we use hats to project an image. Today, as the Sun's link to Jupiter brings a boost of optimism and confidence, the story of John Hetherington, the first person to wear a top hat, seems fitting. The sight of his tall, shiny construction terrified people and caused chaos! But the trend caught on; Fred Astaire almost always wore one. By tapping into today's creative cosmic climate, if we face our own fears, we can set trends in our lives that make us walk tall. Friday January 17 Change of Gear Ready for a change of gear?

It's worth considering ideas that once seemed unfeasible; they might hold seeds of promise.
