The first eclipse of 2019 occurs on January 5th at 15 deg Capricorn. It conjoins Saturn (11 deg) and Pluto (20 deg).

This one will be heavy – Capricorn is about status, reality, rules and authority. It’s a New Moon eclipse which means new beginnings, and they will be strictly defined (Saturn). But you’ve got Pluto in there as well, digging up the stuff that lies beneath the foundation. This suggests a new definition of power (Pluto) based on a major transformation that’s changing reality in the Capricorn-occupied house(s) of your chart.

This will be the start of a huge shift that culminates with the January 12th, 2020 Saturn/Pluto conjunction (22 deg). That’s what this eclipse is pointing towards – a journey that will involve the death (Pluto) of the old order and birth of new structures/rules. For some, 2020 might bring a confirmation of power. For others, a purge that wipes away what they currently have. Much will depend on how your responsibilities and resources are currently being handled.

This eclipse will present the first hints of what’s coming. Are you on the right track or does something need to change? Remember that Saturn is about being accountable.

This eclipse will make a sextile to Neptune in Pisces, so there’s a slight softening of the edge – a whisper that reminds you there’s a dream or higher goal in the works. If you play your cards right, you can manifest a belief that goes beyond your immediate reality. A higher goal. And, there’s a also a Grand Water Trine consisting of Venus in Scorpio trine the Cancer North Node trine Chiron in Pisces. Healing/compassion (Chiron) is enabled by a move into emotionally authentic territory (North Node) which connects to a deep commitment (Scorpio) to what you want or love (Venus). In essence, there will be an emotional undercurrent that encourages you to tap into what feels essential.

So it won’t be all about power and rules. But the Water energy will be behind the scenes and the Capricorn energy will dominate. There’s a structure in your life that’s changing – perhaps there’s a physical change. Maybe you need to work on those boundaries or get to work on building something new. Maybe you need to grow up.

This eclipse and the Saturn/Pluto conjunction will not let anyone off easy, but the good news is you have a year’s head start. And if you’ve been sticking with the Saturn/Pluto program (maturity, discipline, acceptance of change) you’ll be just fine. And there might even be a reward waiting for you.

December 30th, 2018: Nurturing and Loss in a Relationship

John Duncan

John Duncan

  • Juno in Taurus opposite Ceres in Scorpio (20 deg)

  • Pluto in Capricorn sextile Ceres in Scorpio (20 deg)

Continuing December 28th’s themes, Ceres in Scorpio now opposes Juno. Ceres in Scorpio is complete, intensive and demanding nurturing with the added awareness of the “death” part of the cycle of nurturing and loss. Scorpio always intensifies things with undertones of complete transformation (death is the greatest transformation).

So Ceres/Juno pits the stable, unchanging relationship commitment against the transformational powers of nurturing. One partner might demand more than the other can give. Or, this could be an ending that marks a change in one partner’s status (due to illness or loss of resources).

Once again, Pluto is there to support via a sextile, reminding us that these profound shifts are necessary and empowering. There is a “death” occurring in an agreement, but it’s part of the cycle. What comes next?

A reminder that Venus conjoined Ceres on December 27th – the conjunction was a new beginning as love, loss and unconditional care united. What has developed since then and how is it impacting the fixed parameters (or financial rules) of a relationship commitment?
