Pluto settles into Capricorn this fortnight; making her entrance on the 27th, at the same time as the beginning of our New Moon cycle in Sagittarius. The Sun and Mercury both enter into Sagittarius, and Jupiter and Saturn trine in earth signs. The first week of this fortnight then, is the culmination of the past month’s activities. Releasing this big month, in preparation for another. Now, as Pluto settles into Capricorn, she prepares the way for the dawning of the New Age. As boundaries dissolve, and we begin to organize our lives, in a way, that better suit, the very reason we came to this Planet. That is to touch our spirit, through personal divine communication (Neptune in Aquarius) and radically opening that practice to the masses (Uranus in Pisces). The transformation of religions, is complete (Pluto in Sagittarius) and now it is just the residue that is released. The human heart is pierced, like never before and people begin to seek their answers from within. The power and responsibility which has been relegated to external authorities, is reclaimed. Blame is withdrawn, along with this misplaced allegiance. The time for peace, is upon our Planet now, as individualized awakening, spontaneously occurs. The next two years intensify this process, with the Saturn/Uranus oppositions, followed by Uranus entering Aries and Neptune coming home to itself, in Pisces. Human awakening is inevitable.
NEW MOON 5 Sagittarius 49 November 28, 2008 00:56 a.m.
ARIES : Mars freshly in Sagittarius, another fire sign, has you primed for fresh movement and adventure. In fact, Sun, Mercury and Mars all line up on the New Moon, to kick start a fantastic month of outrageous behavior, and practical jokes; probably all coming from you. After the intensity of the preceding month, this will be welcome relief. This is the time, to take advantage, as much as possible, all windows of opportunity to lighten up. There will be another round of transformative energy soon enough.
TAURUS : Jupiter and Venus come together, at the end of the fortnight, to bring a little luck and a load of optimism your way. This comes in the form of very grounded, solid and reliable energy, to be used at your discretion. Saturn in Virgo, is also providing very practical assistance to many of you. If the world around, and outside of you, becomes too chaotic, plant your feet solidly on the earth, and claim your personal sovereignty. Boundaries are a necessary and effortless thing to erect, without the need for push or shove. Use your ingenuity this fortnight.
GEMINI : What a difference when Mercury moves from Scorpio to Sagittarius, this fortnight. No more crossing the t’s and dotting the i’s, so to speak. The formal inquisition is over and it’s time now, for some light hearted conversation. Take the seriousness out of the equation, and share a little of the big picture scenario, in a more encouraging way. Who said, everything had to be worked out, to the smallest degree anyway. Oh, and by the way, if others are playing havoc with your style of communication, pay them no heed.
CANCER : At the end of the moon cycle we get to integrate and this is precisely what you need to be doing, until months end. Much has transpired and you will be in better stead, if you allow for a little introspection now, before the new moon. Remember too, that transformation is a process, which allows plateaus of rest, in between the deep and painstaking work of self-unravelling. Give yourself a well deserved pat on the back, for all that you have achieved to date. It is a job well done. The blessings abound, if you but open your eyes to them.
LEO : This shift into Sagittarius is welcome relief for you as well. Finally you can be about the business of really starting to let your hair down, and kicking up your heals, all in the name of a little fun. This New Moon will have you well on the road to excitement and adventure. Where this takes you, is your decision. Sometimes, it is all about a changed attitude and approach to the everyday. Just know, that whether it be, that you hit the road, or remain at home, the key word is FUN. Lighten up, and those around you, will do the same.
VIRGO : When all is said and done, the bigger the challenge, the greater the learning, and it appears that you are learning a little humility this fortnight. Let then, your study be swift, and the results long lasting. You will find yourself in a pickle if you choose to live out of alignment, with your own integrity. Set straight any relationships which have been neglected or avoided, and be prepared to do the necessary work with them. Any game playing will be highlighted this Full Moon, so be warned and take responsibility. The universe supports you now.
LIBRA : Venus in the sign of Capricorn, could be giving you a little grief this fortnight. Those around you, are wanting more, or other than, what you are prepared to give. If they are seeming unreasonable, this is your opportunity to release your ideas about that, and leave them to their own agenda, with love, of course. No sense getting yourself worked up, over this, as it will only serve to hold you back on your own spiritual path. Release them and the situation, to the Creator and move on to other matters, which gladden your heart.
SCORPIO : As the Sun makes its’ hasty retreat from your sign now, attentions get turned to less compelling and confronting topics. Not that these are ever far, from your range of operation, however. If you find it all a little too far reaching, this could be your chance to hone in on a particular topic and study it. Pluto, will have you doing things which will keep you very much on the straight and narrow over the coming years, and this could be just the opportunity to apply the new skills, you will be learning. With your precision and the added dedication of Pluto, you will be an unstoppable force.
SAGITTARIUS : Jupiter, your ruler, is joining up with Venus this fortnight, to give the lady of love, an opportunity to get lucky, with you, and you no doubt, are feeling pretty good, with all this attention aimed in your direction. Waste none of your time, on senseless activities, but rather, get real and more direct and straight to the point. This is the time to focus your attention & your intention on what it is, that you truly desire. No point squandering it, on unnecessary needs, which have no requirement of fulfillment. Go for the highest and accept your potential.
CAPRICORN : Saturn, Jupiter and Venus, dancing together, feels more like a well defined waltz, than an abstract free form. Could it be, that the one you desire, is asking you to dance? This is not the time to back down, or get cold feet. Go for it and allow yourself the freedom, you’ve up until now, avoided or were too fearful to investigate. In fact, you have nothing to lose, apart from your insecurity. Everyone needs a little time away from the everyday, to explore their other talents and creativity. Perhaps it is time for you to re-invent yourself. At least a little.
AQUARIUS : So, how did you cope with the first of the Uranus/Saturn oppositions? Did your life radically change, or are you being asked to evolve with more grace and ease, than that. The time to integrate is upon us, with the lovely sextile to Jupiter in health conscious Virgo, keeping you in line, and grounded with all of this other worldly wandering. There is always a moment of adjustment, after a vibrational shift and then it becomes familiar. The next one is in February, when the Sun is in your sign. This will mark the beginning of a very new phase, which has been seeded, now.
PISCES : Get ready for your life to be turned upside down, again. Surely, by now, you are used to these radical adjustments, that Uranus has been making to your life, these past few years. Your mantra goes something like “expect the unexpected.” Every time you’ve landed with, what you thought was your feet solidly on the earth, you’ve been picked up and deposited elsewhere. If others are being too rigid around you, perhaps you could just tickle them, at least, with a little humor. Break the ice, this fortnight and just be silly.
