But it isn\u2019t the soft and fuzzy new beginning you might hope for. For starters, this one carries a wallop, for it\u2019s also a partial solar eclipse. Eclipses are like worm-holes: they fast-track events that often appear to come out of the blue. Picture Dorothy\u2019s house being blown from Kansas to Oz, and you get the idea. The extra punch comes from the dynamic energy of most of the planets in challenging angles to each other. So what does this particular eclipse have to say about new conditions that are unveiling themselves now? In a nutshell: It\u2019s time to put whatever you learned about yourself and your future aspirations into practice now. If you\u2019re still unsure that the path you\u2019re currently on is your most beneficial one, allow the magnificent trine from Venus in Scorpio to Jupiter and Uranus in Pisces to awaken your inner wisdom and intuition.<\/p>\n<p>Integrity is the key whenever we\u2019re dealing with Capricorn energy. Last year the Cosmos provided a great deal of support to help you more clearly identify your personal code of ethics, so walking your path in alignment with everything that you espouse or believe in will hopefully feel natural now. You\u2019ll likely find it most helpful to work in tandem with others who share the same values as you. Indeed, Saturn \u2013 ruler of Capricorn \u2013 rules this eclipse. Situated as he is in relationship-oriented Libra, Saturn nudges you to consider the key players that you have gradually begun to amass on your team (or in your social circle or spiritual family) as valid resources in helping you craft a more glorious future for yourself and others. <\/p>\n<p>The corollary is that those people with whom you do not share a compatible world-view will recede into the background &#8211; though your conscious participation in making a gracious exit from their scene will enhance this process immensely. People, places, situations, habits or patterns that no longer serve your continued growth are not wanted on the voyage. The North and South Lunar Nodes have almost wrapped up their tour of the Cancer-Capricorn axis. There\u2019s a potent message here (emphasized by Pluto\u2019s conjunction with the North Node in Capricorn) that the people whom you consider part of your family (Cancer) are not all necessarily your blood kin. If this is resonating for you, liberate yourself from any guilt; the time has come for you to step into the light of your own power (Sun, Moon, Mars, Pluto and North Node in Capricorn) and to feel the genuine connection from those souls who support you \u2013 and whom you take joy in supporting &#8211; in the manifestation of your desires.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aries Sun &amp; Rising:<\/strong> Okay Ram-bo, you\u2019ve climbed to the top of the mountain and you\u2019re in position to unleash your awesomeness into the world. However, you\u2019re going to pass a few folks when you eventually come down from the summit \u2013 and it is these very people with whom you need to maintain a cordial alliance if you wish to enjoy your privileged perch. Amidst the clamour, usher in some much-needed moments of stillness; for it\u2019s from the quiet and most vulnerable spaces within you that your magically inspired ideas come. Let that gentleness seep into everything you tackle if you expect to succeed. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Taurus Sun &amp; Rising:<\/strong> Suddenly the penny drops and you can see how vital a broader perspective is to your ongoing evolution. If you have the wherewithal to take a trip to a foreign land, or to take a course in whatever rocks your mind, then this is an ideal time. Soak up any knowledge that comes to you in whatever form it should choose. Even the biggest revelations can come in the form of a seemingly mundane or routine event. Take nothing for granted, is the point. Partners, friends, lovers: these people offer grace through their willingness to unmask themselves \u2013 don\u2019t overlook the gift. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Gemini Sun &amp; Rising:<\/strong> This eclipse shines a spotlight on everything you share with others. While this is important business, recognize that an abundance of all of the things you desire will come when you stop clenching so tightly onto what you already have. Think of an orgasm: it\u2019s the release that brings pleasure, not the holding on for dear life. Bear that in mind when you\u2019re fixating on where to get funding from. You\u2019ll receive the support you need when you demonstrate how you will put your energy into those initiatives that spread greater awareness and joy for yourself and others. Share the Love.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cancer Sun &amp; Rising:<\/strong> Your most important relationships are undergoing a quick but highly efficient renovation project \u2013 and you know how messy a reno can get. In fact, you may be initiating a literal home-improvement project. Regardless of whether you\u2019re seeing your physical home transform, or it\u2019s a key client or personal relationship that\u2019s changing, you\u2019re somewhat nervous about it. Even so, you can feel how necessary this is, and you\u2019ve seen it coming for some time now. Rely on the emotional maturity you\u2019ve attained, remember the valuable lessons you learned in 2010, and welcome the opportunity to put them into loving practice now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leo Sun &amp; Rising:<\/strong> Your usual daily routine is ready for a major dose of new activity. Being a fixed sign, you can easily fall into patterns that keep you stuck in a groove. If you\u2019re a stickler for certain habits and conventions, perhaps it\u2019s time to assess how useful they are to you now. This may have more to do with your mental conditioning than anything else. Which self-imposed rules and regulations can you let go of, in order to welcome in a healthy new regimen that helps you reach your highest potential? Friends and lovers may provide helpful insights if you\u2019re unsure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Virgo Sun &amp; Rising:<\/strong> This eclipse showers you with the message that, where love or romance is concerned \u2013 everything old is new again. Perhaps you\u2019re itching to reconnect with someone from your past, or maybe you\u2019re about to experience a renaissance with someone you\u2019re already with. Either way, it\u2019s time to re-frame the experiences you\u2019ve had with past and present lovers. The greatest thing that being in love teaches us is the power of living from our hearts. Recall that miraculous feeling and connect with it as often as you can each day. It\u2019s unconditional and non-judgmental \u2013 and that alone is something for you to ponder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Libra Sun &amp; Rising:<\/strong> You\u2019re in a long-term process of change &#8211; and the cycle of metamorphosis isn\u2019t always comfortable. This eclipse is like a mid-term grade: it reflects how far you\u2019ve come and how much further you can go. In order to get there you still need to know yourself as deeply as you can bear. I say this because it takes courage to shine a light on your self. Feel how solid the ground is beneath your feet \u2013 literally and metaphorically. Your inner foundation is stronger than it was a year ago, thanks to the awareness you\u2019ve developed around your boundary issues. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Scorpio Sun &amp; Rising:<\/strong> This eclipse helps underline the principle that your mind is the pilot of your aircraft. Any roadblocks or red flags that you perceive are manifestations of fear. Nothing wrong with feeling fear, by the way (not that you\u2019re likely to cop to it); it\u2019s what you do with that fear \u2013 or perhaps in spite of it \u2013 that reveals how strong its hold is on you. Connect with one of your totems, the eagle, and see through those eyes. It may well be that you\u2019ve forgotten how strong you are. Faith in yourself and your inherent goodness will carry you through. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Sagittarius Sun &amp; Rising:<\/strong> This eclipse carries a message about the link between your values and your finances; it\u2019s time to align both your income and your expenditures with your ideals. As the saying goes, put your money where your mouth is. You can do wonders by supporting only those businesses and causes that are deeply important to you. If you need help connecting the dots, tune into your dreams this week and pay attention to images or messages that jump out at you. Birth yourself into one who integrates idealism and action, and the Universe will support you in every way it knows how.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Capricorn Sun &amp; Rising:<\/strong> This eclipse has your name written all over it, Goat. It challenges you to see a new perspective, especially where career or public reputation is concerned. If someone at work is getting under your skin there\u2019s an uncomfortable lesson for you to take in. Even those people who cause the most annoyance play the role of mirror in our lives. Might there be something about yourself that you don\u2019t wish to acknowledge, or a talent or quirk you have yet to own? Once you reclaim whatever it is you\u2019ve been sweeping under the carpet, others won\u2019t seem quite so bothersome.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aquarius Sun &amp; Rising:<\/strong> As a rule, your muse operates under the radar in a rather quiet and reserved fashion. Not so with this eclipse, though. You\u2019re opening to deeper wisdom that changes not only how you think, but potentially revolutionizes the way others think as well. But since your big aha moment may arrive when you\u2019re tucked away in dreamland, maximize its potential by jotting down any impressions you awaken with. If you can recall any dreams, whether in their entirety or in fragments, write them down. For further cosmic coaching see the film Inception \u2013 if you\u2019ve already seen it, watch it again. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Pisces Sun &amp; Rising:<\/strong> Your most cherished dreams for the future come into sharp focus with this eclipse. You\u2019ve been given a bird\u2019s eye view of any temporary hurdles that threaten to stall you. Take money: you\u2019ve got it in your head that it\u2019s dwindling. But the only real scarcity you face is your trust in those who are in a position to give you a leg up. Your belief in your ability to do great things for this world must be so strong that it becomes a visible part of you. That\u2019s when others will get behind you, whether with wisdom or financing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">Michelle Piller, Starstruck Astrology<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" fifu-lazy=\"1\" fifu-data-sizes=\"auto\" fifu-data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/659303385621959806-7992528547668277190?l=starstruckhoroscope.blogspot.com&ssl=1&w=75&resize=75&ssl=1 75w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/659303385621959806-7992528547668277190?l=starstruckhoroscope.blogspot.com&ssl=1&w=100&resize=100&ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/659303385621959806-7992528547668277190?l=starstruckhoroscope.blogspot.com&ssl=1&w=150&resize=150&ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/659303385621959806-7992528547668277190?l=starstruckhoroscope.blogspot.com&ssl=1&w=240&resize=240&ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/659303385621959806-7992528547668277190?l=starstruckhoroscope.blogspot.com&ssl=1&w=320&resize=320&ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/659303385621959806-7992528547668277190?l=starstruckhoroscope.blogspot.com&ssl=1&w=500&resize=500&ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/659303385621959806-7992528547668277190?l=starstruckhoroscope.blogspot.com&ssl=1&w=640&resize=640&ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/659303385621959806-7992528547668277190?l=starstruckhoroscope.blogspot.com&ssl=1&w=800&resize=800&ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/659303385621959806-7992528547668277190?l=starstruckhoroscope.blogspot.com&ssl=1&w=1024&resize=1024&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/659303385621959806-7992528547668277190?l=starstruckhoroscope.blogspot.com&ssl=1&w=1280&resize=1280&ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/659303385621959806-7992528547668277190?l=starstruckhoroscope.blogspot.com&ssl=1&w=1600&resize=1600&ssl=1 1600w\" width='1' height='1' fifu-data-src='https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/659303385621959806-7992528547668277190?l=starstruckhoroscope.blogspot.com&ssl=1' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today\u2019s New Moon in Capricorn represents a fresh start, as all New Moons do.
