Happy new year, I hope that you and yours were able to experience a most peaceful holiday season. As for me, I took the time I needed to make peace with 2018. To help us get back to what matters again, Venus will change signs, exiting from secretive Scorpio on Monday January 6, to adventure […]

Capricorn New Moon
Each year when I write about the Capricorn New Moon I write a variation on the same theme – and mostly it’s to do with getting my goals in order. That’s partly because it’s that time of the year, but it’s also because I’m such an innate drifter at heart – hello, I’m uber-Pisces – …
Mercury in Capricorn
Mercury is poised to move into Capricorn and my attention has turned to matters of business – or rather business results and business planning. That makes sense – Capricorn is 11th house stuff for me, so it’s at this time of the year that I start putting some structure behind and around and under my …
Mercury’s Transit of Capricorn
Mercury enters Capricorn on January 4th. Words and thoughts become focused and serious. Messages are delivered with authority. Creativity is less important now than saying it and then doing exactly what you said – the verbal or written commitment. Therefore, the range of ideas is much narrower, but this allows you to identify what has solid potential.
Happening one day before the January 5th eclipse in Capricorn, Mercury’s ingress can signal a formal announcement, serious message or firm decision that’s related to this eclipse. Capricorn makes it real, so Mercury’s messages (or messengers) will have more weight than usual. Trust that what you see and hear is real, even if appears restrictive or judgemental.
On the plus side, this transit is excellent for making plans, putting goals into words and verbalizing boundaries.
Here are the aspects Mercury in Capricorn will make:
Jan 8th: square Mars in Aries (4 deg)
Jan 13th: conjunct Saturn (12 deg)
Jan 18th: conjunct Pluto (21 deg)
Jan 20th: trine Juno in Taurus (23 deg)
Jan 22nd: conjunct the South Node (26 deg)
Jan 22nd: square Pallas in Libra (26 deg)
Jan 23rd: square Uranus in Aries (28 deg)
Jan 23rd: sextile Chiron in Pisces (28 deg)
Jan 23rd: sextile Ceres in Scorpio (29 deg)
Jan 24th: Aquarius ingress
January 4th, 2019: Radical Words and a Grand Water Trine

Mercury in Sagittarius trine Uranus Rx in Aries (28 deg)
Venus in Scorpio trine the Cancer North Node (26 deg)
Sun in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces (14 deg)
Mercury/Uranus
Mercury’s freedom-inducing trine to Uranus is a final burst before it enters restrictive Capricorn later today. Uranus amplifies Mercury in Sag’s view of possibilities (and bluntness) by adding innovation and a touch of controversy. Excellent for leaps of logic and radical honesty, which you can then focus once Mercury enters Capricorn.
Uranus is Rx – are you returning to a past issue of liberation or creativity? Does something need to be expressed? Perhaps now is the time to put it into words.
Note that this trine can help you look beyond yesterday’s hurtful Mercury/Chiron square – no matter what went down, there are always new and better options ahead.
Venus/North Node
Venus in Scorpio trine the North Node is part of an ongoing Grand Water Trine that I discussed in this week’s horoscopes:
“January 1st to 5th features yet another Grand Water Trine involving Chiron in Pisces and the Cancer North Node. It was activated from November 6th to 8th (by Jupiter in Scorpio) and on November 20th (by the Sun in Scorpio). Now Venus in Scorpio reactivates the potential to address weaknesses and vulnerabilities (Chiron) while moving forward into new emotional territory (North Node). Venus is about relationships, values, finances and self-esteem, so these areas can flow nicely. The North Node will be key – step into a new area that demands emotional honesty and vulnerability.”
Venus in Scorpio is about the deepest possible commitment to what you want or who you love (including yourself). This will involve an uncomfortable amount of honesty, but the rewards will include forward movement (North Node) to a place where your needs are honoured. This is about tuning into what you want and need, and the flow of the trine ensures that this will happen naturally. Meaning, if it doesn’t feel right and move forward without effort, it’s not meant to be.
Sun/Neptune
This influence will be fairly quiet – Neptune will whisper that there are other possibilities beyond current rules and status. Sun in Capricorn can (if you’re aware – this influence will be easy to ignore) gently add warmth to a dream or a belief and allow you to make it real. Nothing dramatic mind you (sorry, no lottery wins).
Overall, I’d say this is a day for being honest with yourself, on an intellectual and emotional level. The trines will make it easy – all you have to do is go with it.

Capricorn Solar Eclipse: The Year of Maybe
This year’s assignment is to pry our fingers away from Capricorn/Saturn/Pluto safety blankets such as boundaries, limitations, fear, externalized authority, and the need to feel in control. This first Solar Eclipse of the year insists, in no uncertain terms, that we let go of NO.
The post Capricorn Solar Eclipse: The Year of Maybe appeared first on Big Sky Astrology with April Kent.
