January 2nd, 2019: Sun Conjunct Saturn

  • Sun conjunct Saturn in Capricorn (11 deg)

The Sun spotlights a responsibility or issue of control. A boundary may be illuminated or an area of authority could be energized. You could feel this as an early echo of the January 5th eclipse.

When the Sun unites with Saturn, purpose is rooted in focus and definition- there is a firm line between what’s allowed and what isn’t. This can be an empowering influence if extra burdens are shouldered, but attempts to avoid responsibility will result in feeling trapped. Saturn encourages you to make friends with restrictions (because you have no choice).

As 2019 begins, consider what you must do, where you must go and where you cannot go. This is a new beginning and it will involve a firm commitment.

Sun/Saturn is also an excellent manifestation influence – make it real.

December 31st, 2018: Depth and Structure

  • Waning Sextile between the Scorpio Moon and Capricorn Sun (10 deg)

  • Pluto in Capricorn trine Juno in Taurus (20 deg)

Building up to the January 5th New Moon Capricorn eclipse, the Waning Sextile enables the refinement of emerging structures via a peek at what’s going on beneath. Scorpio hints at more below the surface – secrets and emotional intensity. What’s deeper can blend easily with the rules, so you can add form to intensity and depth to what you’re defining. In other words, what’s manifesting won’t be uncontrolled obsession/wallowing but it won’t be a rigid, emotionless cage either.

Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) makes a supportive trine to Juno, suggesting that the above will involve the empowering transformation of a fixed relationship agreement.

We’ve seen this trine before, on December 23rd (when Juno was Rx) so this is the completion of a process that’s been going on for awhile. The slow, steady evolution of a commitment has led you to this moment – how do your rules and boundaries look now?

New Moon Eclipse in Capricorn

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.

Want to know more about how the Saturn/Pluto conjunction might impact you? I wrote a PDF about it – you can purchase and download here. Note that you must know your time of birth in order to use the PDF.

December 26th, 2018: A Good Day to Share Your Message

  • Waning Trine between the Virgo Moon and Capricorn Sun (5 deg)

  • Mercury in Sagittarius sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (15 deg)

The Waning Trine integrates solutions (Virgo) with existing traditions and rules (Capricorn). The energy of the Waning Trine involves a smooth exchange of information. Great for delivering practical info, helpful suggestions or putting together an effective plan. The more proof you have (show your work) the more you’ll be able to manifest words into a reality that people will respect.

Virgo’s details do not always get the respect they deserve because they are viewed as inconsequential or annoying. But Capricorn is the sign of authority, so the little things are given more weight and focus today.

Mercury rules this Moon, and in Sagittarius it makes a supportive sextile to Black Moon Lilith. This tells us that the information in the Waning Trine can be used to give Lilith a voice. BML’s taboo/uncomfortable issues can be communicated – people will be open to hearing what they usually don’t want to accept.

December 23rd, 2018: Venus, Lilith and Juno

  • Venus in Scorpio square Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (15 deg)

  • Pluto in Capricorn trine Juno Rx in Taurus (20 deg)

  • Juno stations direct in Taurus (20 deg)

Venus and Lilith

Venus in Scorpio completes the last of three squares to Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius. The first square occured on September 16th, and the second (when Venus was Rx) on October 17th, so this issue has been active for a few months.

Venus in Scorpio maintains her power by keeping secrets, exploring what’s hidden and possessing. At the same time, she demands absolute intimacy and pushes past all limits (the deepening spiral of honesty regarding what’s really loved/desired). This could apply to relationship, self-esteem or financial issues. BML in Aquarius would disrupt this with challenges based on the freedom to break away via “unacceptable” or shocking female behaviour/issues. Black Moon Lilith is the outsider and dangerous woman.

Her ongoing conflict with Venus in Scorpio since September points to a crisis between power and freedom, possession and detachment, darkness and clarity (Aquarius). As this issue concludes today, there may be a final crisis. Venus and BML are two different expressions of female energy – Venus attracts while Lilith rejects all those who would seek to control her. What are you trying to liberate yourself from? Or (conversely) what resources are you trying to preserve/draw towards you?

Juno

Meanwhile, Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) makes a trine to Juno Rx. The fixed (Taurus) relationship agreement (Juno) is empowered through deep transformation (Pluto). And soon after, Juno stations direct, which means the agreement moves forward.

There is no stagnation here – the relationship review (Rx) led to a change, and now you progress. This is necessary even in the most settled agreements.

I discussed the Juno/Pluto trine in this post from December 17th, when these dynamics were first triggered by Mars in Pisces:

“Mars also makes a sextile to Juno Rx so we know the above involves a relationship (business or personal) agreement. Right now it’s under review and Mars’ sextile activates energetic progress. You’re not just sitting and pondering the terms of the agreement, you and another are taking action to revise it.

Note that Juno will trine Pluto two times:

  • Dec 23rd (Juno Rx)

  • Dec 31st (Juno direct)

Juno/Pluto is the profound commitment that harmonizes with slow change and empowers both parties as it evolves. The process has started now (the trine is within orb) and the Mars sextile suggests following the route of intuitive action to make it happen.”

So the second trine is approaching at the end of the month- great news for those who are ready for a serious commitment to evolve. You can treat Dec 23rd-31st as one influence: a time of increasing strength between you and another. This strength will be based on mutual awareness of the need for change.

Consider how this might be connected to the tension between Venus and BML, especially Venus’ possession and exploration of what’s hidden. What has that tension clarified?
