By the end of this fortnight, Pluto will have made its’ first entry into Capricorn. On the 21st, Sun moves into Aquarius, followed next day, by the moon in Leo, reaching Full. During this time, Jupiter is making a pleasant trine with Saturn at 8 degrees Capricorn and Virgo, respectively. No doubt setting some foundations, for the Pluto sign change. Venus also moves into Capricorn on the 24th, followed by Pluto, mid-morning of the 26th. Mercury retrograde on the 29th, for three weeks, and Mars resumes forward motion, on the 31st. The stage is being set, for the coming implementation of new systems. As always, the old must drop away, or be forced to do so. Structures which no longer, support the new order of things will collapse or be torn down. With Mars still in its’ opposition to Pluto, there will be resistance. By March, housing and economy will be a huge issue. The collapse is already imminent; although it appears to take time, to be grasped by the mass consciousness. New and innovative ways to coexist, will manifest, with a more conservative use of resources, becoming apparent. Capricorn is good at managing things, from people, through to money. Those with information, and techniques and skills to conserve and manage, will be sought after. This is the time for all the lofty ideas and inspirations to be grounded for the good of all, including the Planet.
FULL MOON 1 Leo 54 January 22, 2008 09:36 p.m.
ARIES : The good news, is that Mars goes direct at the end of the month. For you, it means, finally you feel as though you can achieve some things, for yourself. Some of the communication glitches, can be sorted, but remember we now have a Mercury retrograde to move through, so that is always a time of mixed messages, as well. As Mars moves back through Gemini, you will implement some of the knowledge that was gained over these past weeks. Perhaps this will manifest through your work, as you take on new challenges and responsibilities.
TAURUS : Venus moves from Sagittarius to Capricorn this fortnight, which will bring an abrupt halt to your adventuring. Perhaps it is time to knuckle down and do some work. Get yourself organized for the coming days. Capricorn is a sober sign, which tends to make things a little dry and dare I say, boring. Remember to keep yourself inspired, or you could become a little lazy. As a fellow earth sign though, it can work wonderfully in your favor. Harness the energy and set yourself; with some patience, goals to be achieved.
GEMINI : Mercury Aquarius, bringing with it, some very creative ideas and inventions. This could be the time for you, to review them; during the retrograde, with the intention of networking some of them, later in February. This is your forte, disseminating information for the masses. Well at least your circle of friends and acquaintances. You will be pleasantly surprised with those you encounter along the way. Perhaps there is even a new enterprise/job awaiting many of you, at this important time, on the Planet.
CANCER : Capricorn moon cycle, which allows you to focus your attention on your work. Leo Full Moon, is commanding some attention, for you. It is o.k. to promote yourself, and be acknowledged for the wonderful work, that you do. Saturn in Virgo, is giving all of us, the desire to be of service, and the energy to be about it. As a natural nurturer you, are good at bringing into being, new ideas and channeling them through, the difficult birthing and early stages. Like many others, at this time, you are finding your true vocation.
LEO : Sun in Aquarius, in your opposite sign, brings with it, the need to share your talents with the collective. Whether that be your family, or larger community, it is all about everyone, contributing their skills and talents, of which you have many, to draw from. Full Moon, will shed some light on your inner, intuitive and creative abilities. A great time, to bring to life, the ideas which came about, on or around the 8th. Get sorted now, as the eclipses of next month, will begin the conception and gestation of these very ideas.
VIRGO : There are some astrologers who give rulership of Virgo to Chiron. With that in mind, we see that Chiron moves through Aquarius until 2011. Has the healing and work in your life, become more “New Age”, since 2005? Do you find yourself more interested in extraterrestrial information and activity? Are you more involved with groups, astrology and new ideas and inventions? Mercury, the other ruler, goes retrograde in Aquarius now, and so most of us will be focused on these topics, anyway. What contribution can you make, to discussions?
LIBRA : Lucky in love, is how many of you will find yourself, at the beginning of February. Venus and Jupiter together in Capricorn, making for commitment potential. Perhaps, once you get the uncertainty out of the way, you can really focus on other issues and challenges in your life. Having a relationship that works, and is supportive is a necessity at this time, as you have plenty of other matters to attend to. What’s more, you deserve it to be that way. Settling for compromise will only hold you back, in all areas of your life.
SCORPIO : Rather momentous time for you. This is the harbinger of major change in your life. If it feels like one step forward, and two back at this stage; that is to be expected. Keep your mind focused on the goal and be your unwavering self. Things will settle into a routine again, before too long. At this stage, you are about letting go and reforming, from new ideas. It being such an untried procedure, it is better to feel your way slowly, rather than be caught up in slipping
back into old habits.
SAGITTARIUS : This year, is a big one for you, in the area of work. Finally being about your purpose, is satisfying and inspiring. Although it may seem like life has taken a serious tone, you will achieve much, and then comes the opportunity to set yourself in flight, once more. Getting accustomed to the workings and day to day practicality will keep you busy. Many are finding there soul mates to work with, at this time and that in itself, is very rewarding, as it takes the pressure out of doing things alone.
CAPRICORN : Such a Capricorn theme at this juncture. I trust that you have allowed yourself some celebration time for your Birthday, and that work managed to take a back seat, at least for a day. Transformation, with a capital T, is the buzz word for this year. Propelled forward, like never before, unless you are one who tends to procrastinate, or hold to rigidly to the past. Let go with ease and grace, and all that is divine will enter your life on all levels. This is the opportunity to achieve much. This Pluto Capricorn generation, is yours for the harvest.
AQUARIUS : As the Sun enters your sign this fortnight, you can bathe in the understanding that everyone will be vibrating at your calibre. You could avail yourself to this information, and put yourself out on a limb when it comes to sharing your ideas and talents. Others will be at their most receptive. With Uranus in Pisces until 2011, you can know that your spiritual life, will be at the forefront of change and radical readjustments and fine tuning. If you have experienced a sense
of burnout, it is only the divine getting your attention and redirecting your life.
PISCES : Neptune will connect with Mercury before it makes its’ retrograde. What that means for you, is a spiritual revelation or epiphany. It is
possible that you will be inspired to do some kind of humanitarian or environmental work. After the ‘a-ha’ has settled, you can integrate your experience through practical enterprises. For those who require a deepening of your faith, this is the event, which will encourage it. By the beginning of March you will definitely get the ramifications of this heavenly glimpse.
