January 11th, 2019: Truth and Power

  • Sun in Capricorn conjunct Pluto (20 deg)

  • Moon in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn (20 deg)

  • Waxing Sextile between the Pisces Moon and Capricorn Sun (21 deg)

Sun/Pluto lights up an area of transformation and deep truth. Purpose unites with power, but this is power that comes from an awareness of what’s happening behind or beneath. The shadow is illuminated and how you handle this will dictate your measure of success or fear. Those that avoid the shadow will end up being manipulated by it. Those who confront their own shadow will be unstoppable.

What’s really going on behind the rules? What’s dying or being purged?

Integrating this into the Waxing Sextile, you have an opportunity to do something with what’s revealed. The dream, wish or undefined urge can be given form if unconscious desires and obscured truths are fully realized. Be honest, be brave and dive into what’s really happening. It’s all about the effort you make. .

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.

January 2nd, 2019: Sun Conjunct Saturn

by  •

  • 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 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.

Capricorn Season and the Climb

by  •

Capricorn season begins again on December 21st, bringing us to the Winter Solstice and the turning point that marks a new year for many. On the shortest day, we become aware of the cycle of the year and patterns related to rules, traditions and structures (Capricorn). Which structures support us and which ones limit us?

The awareness of dark and the light that follows (as the days become longer) draws our attention to what’s being reborn in our future. It’s a time to acknowledge what’s ending and what we have to look forward to.

Today’s Mercury/Jupiter and Venus/Neptune aspects (described in my other post) give this turning point a hopeful, open feel- certainly a moment to look up and out.

Capricorn itself is a sign of focus, authority and maturity. It’s about discipline and consequences – you do the work and see the results. Or you avoid your responsibilities and reap those results. This year, there’s more at stake because Saturn (ruler of Capricorn) is in its home sign, so the consequences of the burdens you shoulder or ignore will be heavier. There are things that must be taken seriously and work that must be done. The rewards can be greater if you do what you have to do, but certain burdens will also be much greater (and will not feel rewarding in the short term). While this doesn’t seem to blend with “hopeful” know that work and responsibilities form the foundation of the steps you ascend.

Here are the aspects the Sun in Capricorn will make:

  • Dec 22nd: Full Moon in Cancer (0 deg)

  • Jan 2nd: conjunct Saturn (11 deg)

  • Jan 4th: sextile Neptune in Pisces (14 deg)

  • Jan 5th: New Moon eclipse (15 deg)

  • Jan 11th: conjunct Pluto (20 deg)

  • Jan 12th: trine Juno in Taurus (22 deg)

  • Jan 15th: square Pallas in Libra (25 deg)

  • Jan 16th: conjunct the South Node (26 deg)

  • Jan 17th: sextile Ceres in Scorpio (27 deg)

  • Jan 18th: sextile Chiron in Pisces (28 deg)

  • Jan 18th: square Uranus in Aries (28 deg)

  • Jan 20th: Aquarius ingress

December 20th, 2018: Pause and Confirm

  • Waxing Inconjunct between the Taurus Moon and Sagittarius Sun (28 deg)

  • Sagittarius Sun trine Uranus Rx in Aries (28 deg)

The Waxing Inconjunct can bring up some frustrating blocks to forward momentum. Money, security or the need to take stock of an existing situation will be incompatible with an ideal, hope or area of expansion. And yet both must be integrated – you’re still moving towards something new (or broadening your reach) while stabilizing what you already have. Perhaps your foundation needs attention; this will enable you to move forward from a place of greater assurance.

Fortunately, the Sun’s trine to Uranus can help as you’re encouraged to keep putting energy into that new/innovative/liberating development. While this is not entirely new (Uranus was previously at this sign and deg around April 2018) it’s still a bit of a risk – there’s excitement and trepidation. Trust that you can work with this, even as you briefly slow down today in order to secure material resources or establish your values (there could be some core issues that need to be reaffirmed before you move on).
