Hi everyone! Happy New Year!
And what a New
Year it is!!! Welcome to Planet Earth!
Are you ready for the leap of faith?
What...another one?!!!
This one’s going to be easy peasy with our inner goat in charge,
leading us into the new year! Capricorn is security conscious!
If we’re on track, hopes and dreams in our magical carpet bag,
confident yet humble, resolute and flexible, loving and compassionate, inspired
by our ‘calling’...then expect good things.
High hopes and great heights are calling us to to leap confidently
into the future!
We are the world, we are the
children:
A New Moon in Capricorn welcoming us on New
Year’s Day guarantees a big earth party this year. This year, if it’s not in
the best interests of the earth and all who dwell upon her, it will struggle to
take root and grow.
This year, fortunes will be made and lost,
careers and enterprises will burgeon and others will fall by the wayside,
leaders will rise and others will fall, systems and governments will be
challenged to support all or crumble.
Win/win is possible: This
year, success will depend on our alignment with our personal path and with the
earth’s evolution and growth. Stay tuned to your deepest desires and to the
earth for a win/win year.
What’s been
happening:
The solstice planetary ‘new year’ followed by the
empty space:
The turning point solstice energies shifted us,
even if you are yet unaware of how we’ve been shifted.
That may be yet to fully
manifest in our physical worlds as we have been inundated with light energy
pouring into the earth, connecting with us all at the centre of our being.
Painting: ‘Messiah’ – Rassouli
From the solstice: In the inter-dimensional decompression chamber!
We’ve been Inhabiting the ‘void’, the empty
space between worlds, straddling the 3rd and 5th
dimensions of consciousness. We all have the ‘world of muggledom’, the 3rd
dimension within us as we live on planet earth which is still dominated by that
dimension. However, we are reaching to incorporate ‘the magical reality’ of the
5th dimension. It is all about perception.
Christmas, a changing of the status quo: Love becoming real!
Did you notice the subtle shift in attitudes
around Christmas?
It seemed that for many people, whatever had been the status quo,
was shifted in terms of values and attitudes, particularly evident in the build
up to Christmas and its celebration.
A New energy: Those who had previously not felt
fully connected to the joy of Christmas had their hearts opened to a greater
experience of love and connectedness. On the other hand, it was clear that many
who have loved Christmas, suddenly felt burdened, even jaded by the rituals of
Christmas. Their perceptions and values were also being shifted from the joy of
the old ways to a questioning and re-evaluation of what makes for joy and
happiness. What about 2014 Christmas every day!
Disconnecting from the matrix of consumerism as an addiction:
Discovering material comfort and security based on the power of
love.
We’ve been
disconnecting from the matrix of consumerism and dependence on money and
materialism as the primary means of finding joy and celebration. 2014 promises
to build on this disconnect from the prominence of materialism in our lives as
the realities of economic shifts begin to take hold across the planet. No, I’m
talking about ‘hard times’ but about a more solid planting of ourselves in our
earthly dimensions. In 2014, hedonism as the admirable ideal and desirable
paradigm for living, will be challenged.
Values getting ‘real’: Priorities become important!
Venus in
Capricorn – getting our priorities and values.
Venus retrograding in Capricorn worked her energies leading into
Christmas. Venus is about values and Capricorn is about ‘getting real’! Getting ‘real’ is not about seeing the glass half
empty...contrary to the view of many pessimists who claim they are ‘realists’.
We’re getting in touch with our ‘bottom line’, our number one priority with
respect to love and happiness.
New
experiences of love and happiness replace the old value system:
New ways of
seeing and experiencing the world!
The value of what was once important, what once brought joy, is
getting a subtle shift in energy as we start to experience a different kind of
joy. Maybe you experienced the sadness of letting go of past ways of feeling
joyful and opened to a deeper connectedness to yourself and significant others
during this time. This kind of energy, reviewing what gives us pleasure and
happiness, what is of greatest value, will be with us for some time as Venus
continues to retrograde through Capricorn until the very end of January.
From Christmas Eve through to about 27th December:
Mars opposition Uranus
potential for anger and accidents
...mitigated by Mars in
Libra!
This aspect certainly had within it the potential for inflammatory
and sudden reactionary behaviour. Within all challenging aspects, there’s
always the potential to take the higher path and move towards peace, resolution
and love. Mars, our masculine warrior energy, is being roadtested in Libra, the
sign of peace, harmony and justice. Mars is learning to practise a new way of
being, the way of peace and love.
Greater desire for peace and oneness:
Whilst there was inflammation of world wide events in the Gaza
strip as well as the Sudan, there seemed to be a more widespread energy of
peace, justice and love permeating the Christmas period. Many more positive
energies seemed to be manifesting. Healing of rifts within families seemed to
be prominent as well as the building of stronger bridges of commonality within
the family.
Love is
beginning to manifest at the grassroots level of home and family!
The message of 2013, reaching for the energy of love, compassion,
justice and mercy seems to be manifesting in so many ways. More people are
waking up and taking action in the way that best represents their own personal
path, whether it be in the everyday world of home and family, in taking
political action or in spiritual practices and conscious light work. We all are
called to do what is right for us.
Home is where the heart is!
Are we taking good care of ourselves and of those in our care?
Accidents are raising awareness about love and
responsibility.
I’ve noticed so many of the ‘accidents’ happening seemed to have a
more disastrous result when those involved are forgetting to look after
themselves by taking risks beyond the leap of faith. Not wearing car seat
belts, not wearing lifejackets on the water, taking climbing harnesses off while
on a cliff face, driving faster than driving abilities can accommodate. I see
children drowning because of lack of parental awareness, lack of lifejackets
near water, shortfalls of consciousness in protection of young ones. The bottom
line is awareness. It always is.
Beware! Be aware: Eyes wide open, mind engaged!
Has it always been this
way? I don’t know. Of course some ‘accidents’ are beyond our personal control
on the physical level. I do not wish to make a blanket statement about
accidents per se. I observe the world and the patterns and behaviours
manifesting ‘out there’ and it just seems more people are being awakened to
becoming aware of their environment and how they and their loved ones move
through that environment. With Uranus in Aries for some years yet, the freaky
one-off type accidents will continue as souls complete their journey this
lifetime.
Personal responsibility and self-love: Increasing focus
for 2014
The issue of personal responsibility and loving protection of self
and others will continue to demand our attention in the year ahead. The blame
game is coming to an end and it will be a slow process. We will eventually
learn to be love, be loving and kind to ourselves and others.
From 30th
December to 1st January: Crossroads!
The dark of the moon
...releasing the old energies from the
past month!
An extra big letting go!
Out with the old energies
within the dark of the moon!
We
tend to release the old year before we go into new year. This time, the cosmos
is supporting us big time as the days leading up to the New Year will be in the
dark of the moon which is the time of release before the New Moon.
30th to 31st December:
Mars in Libra squares/challenges Pluto and Mercury in
Capricorn...Explosive!
Within the dark of the
moon release time, we have the volatile Uranus/Pluto square being triggered by
Mars in Libra. With Jupiter in play too, we have a
Grand Cardinal Cross! Sudden war-like conflicts are possible as people clear
the air. Trust that all is good even if sudden and explosive. Potential for
healing is here.
Jupiter in
Cancer squaring off to Mars and Uranus and opposing the Pluto/Mercury
combo
With Jupiter in Cancer,
emotions are likely to expand and release in the family/home environment.
However, it won’t be confined to just that area. Jupiter’s not
a big player in this set up but is still within reaching distance to impact the
whole lot of them, expanding the energies beyond the norm. Issues, if there are
any, could become bigger than Ben Hur!
Angry words...not
birds:
With Mercury aligning
with Pluto in Capricorn, there’s a strong likelihood there could be a clearing
of the air with fiery and possibly angry emotions triggered into argument and
dispute. It’s likely to be explode quickly, suddenly like lightning.
Choose peace: With Mars in Libra,
it’s possible that these angry, explosive energies can be brought to peace given
people’s readiness to let go of arguing and fighting. It is possible that
things will not escalate into war like situations.
Out of date, out
of mind...and heart:
Anything that is past its
use-by date may well get the heave ho in the energies of the lunar and New
Year’s Eve ‘letting go of the past’ madness that can take hold at this time. At
least it’s not happening at a full moon when we could really go over the top
with emotional release and later regret. This is a perfect energy to let go of
whatever’s holding you back.
Capricorn energies may temper the volatile energies of New
Year’s Eve: Common sense taking hold...maybe???
Capricorn is not really a party animal as it is more included to
quieter and more serious pursuits. When it comes to the crunch, Capricorn is
sober and sensible calling on common sense wisdom. The Capricorn energies will
offer some kind of security blanket in this time of sudden and radical change
and departure from the norm.
Prison walls break open:
Mental constructs
and social conditioning collapse with Mercury/Pluto united!
Nevertheless, the shifts and turns energetically from 30th through
into the New Year week, promise to surprise and release us from constricting
forces which have been dogging our footsteps for too long. Suddenly, the door
of consciousness is open and recognising the truth of who you are, what you
desire and your pathway forward...at least for the next week or
two.
‘You take the high road and I’ll take the low
road’ could very well be the catchcry of this time as we head up to the
hills on the wings of freedom. So, if you see people taking a ‘nosedive’, trust
that they are ready to plunge into the forest in order to find their own
liberation. For many of us, we’ll be moving out of the forest onto on the open
pathway taking us up that mountain.
Karmic ties and
bonds being released:
We may find a parting of the ways with people
and places in your lives as our karmic burdens are lifted from us as our
‘brothers and sisters’ pick up their karmic responsibilities which we have been
carrying for them, until such time as they were able and willing to step onto
their pathway and take responsibility for their spiritual growth.
Karmic bonds fall away from us as our fellow human beings take up
the load we have been carrying for them. It’s all good. They’re ready and
able!
Grand Cardinal Cross: Ongoing theme until July
2014
The energies above of the Grand Cardinal Cross are with us for some
time, coming and going as the planets move, retrograde and connect in the cross
formation. It’s very much a releasing energy which
offers movement and action, releasing within us the initiative to take action.
More on this with next update.
1st January: New Moon in Capricorn at 10 degrees 57
Capricorn at 10.14 pm AEDT
A New Moon on New Year’s Day! A VERY
BIG fresh start of significance!
A New Moon is a new start for the
month and for the Capricorn energies until 2015. A New Moon on New Year’s day
means we are being fully aligned in the planetary and mundane
worlds.
At the New Moon:
Stellium of planets in Capricorn!
Initiative
and drive to succeed!
The Sun, Moon, Mercury and Pluto are in very close connection
adding weight to the Capricorn significance of this New Moon energy. Let’s make
a fresh start with clarity and alignment of mind (Mercury) with our higher
authority. Pluto is guaranteeing this New Moon will be transformational for us
and for the earth.
A shift in planetary work:
Taking responsibility and
authority for your path!
Pluto rules death, rebirth and transformation and lined up with the
New Moon, Mercury and the Sun, there are messages that we’re at a culminating
point for a shift in gear with the planetary work. The Sun is light and in
Capricorn, is light on the earth, in the earth, around the earth!
Mastery in the physical world: Bringing dreams and hopes
to earth!
Capricorn calls us to mastery of the earthly dimension. We are
being called to focus our spiritual, emotional and mental energies into the
everyday world of matter.
Maintain spiritual connection:
Reality checks all the
way!
This year is a perfect time for manifesting
on the physical realm that which is our divine destiny, our highest fulfilment.
If you’re running after a goal and you’re
being constantly blocked and/or delayed, reconsider whether it’s about right
timing and/or about ‘right’ course of action.
The
focus on the Capricorn materialism will work for us providing we counterbalance
such materialistic desires with our spiritual growth and evolution.
Material goals must match spiritual
goals:
If
our work in the world doesn’t match up to the spirit of who we are, our efforts
will fall short. There is a need
to keep aligned with the higher path so you don’t get derailed by material
and/or worldly success such as admiration and fame.
New Moon/New Year
: Trust that your direction and goals will be revealed if this is not
already growing within you. It’s time to get ready to launch into your new
life, slowly and carefully.
Money and
work: Ambition and drive for success!
Capricorn is concerned with success through the physical world of
work and financial security. This energy is a driving force for ambition, commitment,
determination and resolution. Capricorn calls us to the top of the mountain, to
the top of our game. Power and being drunk with power is an undermining force
that needs to be acknowledged as a present force through this year.
Capricorn energises responsibility
and duty: Remember self-love...no ‘over giving’, no ‘overdoing’ at the
expense of your energy and your life force!
The greatest challenge will be to stay off
the treadmill of overworking and labouring at the expense of joy. Keep cross
checking your behaviour and responses to what’s happening in your life. If
you’re feeling overburdened by ‘duty’, chances are you need a
break.
Capricorn earth energy ruled by Saturn:
Saturn is
masculine energy symbolising authority, the father, the patriarchy. So, imagine
what kind of change is imminent in relation to the dominance of the earth by the
authoritarian energies of the despots, the old style patriarchal
energies.
For
eternity!!!!
Capricorn will help us see things through to completion!
Gifts
of the Capricorn New Moon/New Year’s Day energy:
Help is at hand!
Persistence, endurance,
fortitude and patience:
This year we’ll feel the
reinforcement of a solid strength behind us as we take the easy climb of our own
personal mountains of enacting our talents in the world.
Dedication and commitment:
Saturn is a powerful energy for helping us get through the most
challenging aspects of our journey. He demands absolute commitment and
dedication to the task at hand. There’s no slouching off under the Saturn ruled
Capricorn energy.
Security, responsibility and surety:
Maintain your footing and flexibility this year, regardless of what
destabilises your world. The goat leaps in the sure knowledge that there is a
foothold on the cliff. Leaping is fine providing you have a strong sense of
inner security in your spiritual knowledge and the right path forward.

Just remember to take
time out to play!
We are the world, we are the
children
Time to march to the beat of your own
drum!
Supermoon 1st January:
New Moon in Capricorn...A supermoon = close to the
earth!
This New Moon is what’s called a Supermoon, which refers to its
proximity to the earth. You won’t be able to see this as at the New Moon, we
are actually in darkness. A couple of days later, we see the crescent moon
which most of view as the manifestation of the new moon energy.
The
fact that this is a supermoon and the closest supermoon to earth this year, is a
reinforcement of the importance of earth energy this year.
There’s another one with the New Moon in Aquarius on 31st January.
5 supermoons in 2014.

http://earthsky.org/space/what-is-a-supermoon
Quotes from above website:
What
is a supermoon?
We confess: before a few
years ago, we in astronomy had never heard that term. To the best of our
knowledge, the term supermoon was coined by the astrologer Richard
Nolle over 30 years ago. The term is only now
coming into popular usage. Nolle has defined a supermoon as: … a new or full moon which occurs with the moon at or
near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth in a given
orbit.
The year 2014 gives us a
total of five supermoons: two January new moons, and the full moons of July,
August and September. January 1, 2014 is the first supermoon of the year, and
January 30 is the second. Thus January 2014 has two supermoons in a single
calendar month. We won’t have a single calendar month with two supermoons again
until January 2018. Follow the links below to learn more about the supermoons of
2014, about what makes a moon a supermoon, and more.
Sabian Symbol for the New Moon and
Sun:
Pheasants
Display Their Brilliant Colors on a Private Estate’
From Linda Hill: http://sabiansymbols.typepad.com/
Pheasants Display Their
Brilliant Colors on a Private Estate’ is an image of beauty, color and
wealth. It pictures a situation of the enjoyment of life’s luxuries. The
‘Pheasants’ are beautiful as they ‘Display Their Brilliant Colors’. They have
long tails and brilliantly colored plumage. People are drawn to their beauty and
can be awed by their presence. That they are on ‘A Private Estate’ shows an
environment of privilege and security.
This can picture going after one’s life goals.
Riches, refinement and abundance are everywhere. However, just take care:
‘Pheasants’ can be game birds, so there may be an element of underlying danger.
Displays of wealth and beauty can inspire others, but they can also lead to
jealousy and begrudging acknowledgments. That this place is pictured as a
‘Private Estate’ signifies that it may need to be protected, and kept ‘Private’.
People who don’t belong there may be able to come and visit, but it may be that
they’re really invading someone else’s space or privacy. The visitors need to
show respect and courtesy and not presume that they can move in and take over.
On the other hand, being ‘Private’, this place may not be truly welcoming to
people; they may find it unwelcoming and forbidding in some way. There may be
difficulty in keeping up with the amount of work that goes into the maintenance
of this ‘Private Estate’ it may take a lot of time to look after the house and
grounds. Who does the work and who appreciates the luxury? Looking after the
lawn and the garden can bring a feeling of improved well-being. Regardless of
whether you’re a visitor or an occupant, just going out and looking at the
beauty of the place, the plants and the wildlife can heighten your
day.
Keywords: Glorious houses and
estates. Lawns and gardens. Statues and birdbaths. Peacocks, pheasants, swans,
etc. Enjoying the riches the environment offers. Large plots of land.
Nature reserves. Game birds. Aristocracy and the ruling elite. Beauty, elegance
and grace. Fabulous displays of color. Parks.
The Caution: Foolish disregard of pending
danger. Feeling that one has to be “on parade” or else they will be overlooked.
Issues of standing out from the crowd. Jealousy and envy through things on
display. Luxury and beauty or snobbery that excludes. Showing
off. “Do not enter” signs.
off. “Do not enter” signs.
Upcoming Dates:
11th January: Mercury moves into Aquarius
16th January: Full Moon in Cancer

A theme for the New Moon in
Capricorn and 2014:
Values, love and money
‘Rags to Riches’
lyrics:
I know I'd go from rages to
riches
If you would only say you care
And though my pocket may be empty
I'd be a millionaire
My clothes may still be torn and tattered
But in my heart I'd be a king
Your love is all that ever matteredIt's everything
If you would only say you care
And though my pocket may be empty
I'd be a millionaire
My clothes may still be torn and tattered
But in my heart I'd be a king
Your love is all that ever matteredIt's everything
