Hi everyone! It’s
Capricorn time!
Where’s your inner pixie and gnome?
Well I guess you’ve barely had time to
read or digest my last update and here’s another one. That wasn’t the plan as I
explained in my last update. I only write if the words are flowing and my
‘hotline’ to the stars is plugged in.
I’m still standing...just!
That is, when I’m not on my
knees!
So, here we are coming to the close of the year 2014, a universal 7 year
numerologically which has called us into a soul searching of our individual
journey to fulfilment.
The past 2 years of change: Death and Resurrection!
With Saturn in Scorpio for the past 2 years,
along with the Uranus/Pluto square, we’ve covered some dark underground caverns,
often feeling alone and facing the insecurities, doubts and fears that we need
to face so we can continue ‘the hero’s journey’.
The ‘demons’ of despair, loss and grief came and
went as the world stage continued to erupt with ongoing political, religious and
economic volcanoes and earthquakes. The aftershocks flowed on to us in our
everyday lives, touching some more than others.
Shift in consciousness for all: Staying balanced
As the status quo has been shaken, so too have we been shaken in our
individual lives in our personal status quo. We’ve been on unstable ground trying to keep
our balance as we experienced the pain, heartache and troubles of self, of
others, and of our ‘institutions’ such as government, business, religion and of
course our living planet with all that exists in it, on it and around it.
We are learning and integrating the understanding that ‘We are one’.
Whatever is happening in our home, family, relationships, neighbourhood tells us
what is knocking on the door of the heart for acceptance, reclamation or
release.
What’s coming in:
A big week ahead with the Sun and New Moon both
in Capricorn. It’s the December solstice marked by the Sun’s passage into
Capricorn.
Uranus stations direct on 22nd and a big one, the shift of Saturn out of
Scorpio into Sagittarius for the next 2 years.
Issues of physical security and stability will call to be addressed by
innovative solutions. This includes financial, home, work. The mundane issues
will find answers in alternative and unusual solutions in the reality which draw on the joy of life, on the magical reality. It’s a powerful time for
manifesting our potential from a heart centred place. Call it in and be open to
what you hear and receive, to where your divine pathway takes you.
22nd December: Uranus stations direct at 9.44 am
AEDT at Aries 12 degrees 44
until late July 2015
Into 2015:
Cat and
mouse game with Pluto!
It’s all a game of tag triggering each other into next
year!
Uranus is one of the very slow moving planets so when it changes direction,
it takes a few weeks to actually shift even a degree. Uranus will be playing
‘cat and mouse’ with Pluto for some weeks through to March next year but staying
in close proximity, continually shifting us out of our comfort zone.
The past months of retrograde Uranus: Inner
reverberations!
While Uranus has been retrograde these past months, the shocks and horrors
of life and all that’s been happening, have been reverberating through our inner
room of peace and contentment. It’s almost like there’s been no escape from
Uranus’ disruptive force as he strikes at the very core of our security
zones.
Now: How have we grown in consciousness?
What have we learned
from our divine self, our inner ‘sunflower’?
Uranus is a higher consciousness shifting our thinking and beliefs beyond
the normal parameters of existence through shock ‘treatments’, sudden insights
and revelations. The past months of inner growth will now be put to the test in
the outer world as we emerge with new perspectives.
New concepts, ideas and solutions emerging from within take us by
surprise:
Offbeat and eccentric options will appeal!
Uranus has been giving us an inner makeover the extent of which will start
to become evident as we find we’re expressing ideas and attitudes outside our
usual thinking. We didn’t know we’d changed through these past months. But we
have. Be aware of alternative, offbeat, off the beam solutions which now
present as solutions to ongoing situations. Be open to alternatives and to what
would have once seemed crazy options.
22nd December:
Sun moves into Capricorn at 10.03 am AEDT Self-respect and success on offer
until 21st January 2015
Capricorn is an earth sign ruled by Saturn, the
master of manifestation in the earthly realm. The goat, the climber of mountains, is Capricorn’s
symbol.
The mountain climbing is sure-footed and cautiously takes to the highest peaks. It is symbolic of us reaching for the higher consciousness of Capricorn, achieving our earthly ambitions through the manifestation of our potential on the earth.
Gnomes and pixies:
I always associate gnomes and pixies with the Capricorn energy as they’re
very present to the earth’s energies. Also, gnomes are known to work hard,
happily I like to think, despite Grumpy’s (Snow White) bad reputation.
Coming home to ourselves and our lives in the wider
world!
Heigh ho! heigh ho! It’s off to work we go!
Happily!
Capricorn is focussed on our working lives and
our success in the world and with Saturn as our CEO, nothing less than
commitment, dedication and focus is demanded of us.
Easy when you’re doing what you love!
Grounding does not mean ground down:
Giving up the struggle!
Giving up the belief that working ‘hard’ is good for you!
Work is play!
Grounding our dreams means committing to our pathway to
fulfilment: Coming to clarity, deciding, start building!
It’s time: Enacting ‘work is play and play is work’
in a fresh start!
Many of us have been working at what we love for years, for a lifetime.
For many, current careers have faded into shadows of what they once offered as
we change and grow in new directions. 'Where is the new direction' is the call
from many people as they search for answers.
For love or money: Is there a choice or can we have
both?
For so many with the pressures of life in a material world, the demands of
maintaining a particular income and lifestyle has cost us the joy of doing what
we love. How many people feel between a rock and a hard place in relation to
this work, money and joy split?
Do what you love and restore and build life force:
Let your
heart and spirit lead! Off the treadmill!
The current energies in Capricorn are inviting us to step us as our true
selves and do what feeds our spirit. When we’re doing what we truly love, there
is no burnout, stress or exhaustion as the pure love and joy feeds our life
force. We are rejuvenated.
Capricorn, the builder: Time to lay some new foundations for our
lives after the restructuring and destruction of the past two
years!
Saturn, Capricorn’s ruler, is known as the
builder and is concerned with the building of structures physical, emotional,
mental and esoteric. Because Capricorn rules the earth, the establishment, the
status quo, governments, bureaucracies and human existence on the earth, human
created ‘structures’ come under Capricorn’s banner.
Saturn moving into Sagittarius on 24th is offering a whole new slant on our
lives and what matters to us. See below.
22nd December:
December Solstice...open sesame!
Doorway to the other dimensions!
Summer Solstice in
Southern Hemisphere
Winter Solstice in Northern
Hemisphere
The shortest day in the Southern Hemisphere and the
longest in the Northern Hemisphere.
A doorway of change and transformation:
A solar turning point of the year!
What does the solstice mean for us energetically? It’s a significant
turning point of the solar year, marking the change in light from lighter to
darker in the Southern Hemisphere and from darker to lighter in the Northern
Hemisphere.
The power of the past is in the present:
Honouring the Sun!
Honouring the light!
The energies available at the solstice open us to new possibilities, a
little bit like the energy we associate with a New Year in our modern calendar.
These energies are built upon the knowledge, traditions and ceremonies of times
past when the people of the earth were connected to the earth, the seasons and
the solar, lunar and planetary changes.
Doorway to other dimensions:
Honour the light and
be open to messages at this time
By honouring the light and the changing solar light, we reconnect our
beings to the immense power that comes to us by the light of the Sun and from
the Great Central Solar Sun, the energetic, esoteric Sun behind our Sun
regarded as the source of all life.
Take time today to honour the light, the life giving force that along with
all the cosmos brings balance to our lives as well as the ongoing growth to our
little planet.
The December solstice occurs when the Sun enters Capricorn:
A New
Year!
In times past, the December solstice has been
regarded as the energetic beginning of the year. Many people living in the
esoteric traditions still consider it to be so. In terms of the solar
movements, it makes sense with Capricorn a cardinal sign, a great impetus for
getting things on the move.
Solar activity the past week:
A resurgence in solar flares in the
past week!
Headaches and false hangovers anyone?
Activity has been hovering around the moderate level of flares with a major
X flare occurring on 17th December, GMT. Solar activity is likely to impact on
the physical body with all manner of strange manifestations of headaches,
nausea, dizziness, sinus. Lots more of course. Not all people are impacted.
And not all of us are affected every time there’s solar activity. There is no
‘one size fits all’ for the impact we may feel.
More on the Great Central Solar Sun:
22nd December: New Moon in Capricorn at 12.35 pm
AEDT at Capricorn 0 degrees 06
A New Moon, a new doorway: Make a wish and set the
intentions!
The Sun has just moved into Capricorn and 2 and a half hours later, we have
the Sun and Moon meeting for the New Moon in Capricorn.
This conjunction of the
Sun and Moon every month marks a new lunar month, a time for planting the seeds
of intention.
The Moon is a powerful force for delivering our deepest hopes and
desires, if we but set our intention and maintain our faith in receiving our
entitlement. No-one can take from us what is rightfully our particular
signature.
A stellar line up in Capricorn at this New Moon:
Sun, Moon,
Venus, Mercury, Pluto
A strong message to us all that this New Moon is
another moon at 0 degrees so a significant emphasis on a new cycle of Capricorn,
backed up by the strong representation of Mercury and Venus, our mind and
heart, adding weight to the Capricorn message.
The Capricorn message:
Time to bring some hopes and dreams into
reality!
This New Moon is begging us to put our minds and
hearts fully into backing ourselves and our place in the world. Call on the
inner pixie and gnome to access the magical reality of your life on earth.
The Sun and Moon, our inner and outer beings, aligned on the same degree,
are saying it’s time to bring ourselves back into the practical realities of
life on earth.
Manifestation time:
May the force be with us! Maintain the focus
on future!
Saturn, the master of manifestation is with us! Be aware of maintaining
focus on what you desire and intend. Keep the mind and heart clear of past
millstones of thinking and memories intruding on your focus for the future.
Stay present while maintaining focus.
Wave the wand, take the steps and keep going!
Capricorn can make life seem serious with its
ruler Saturn casting a heavy shadow over life, but we need to remember that the
power of Capricorn in the manifestation stakes is HUGE!
Capricorn plugs us into the earth and all it encompasses:
The mundane becomes magical!
Tune in to the magical reality of earthy existence. It takes a conscious
choice to step away from the mundane details of house care, work life, home
renovation etc. etc. and turn the mundane into a magical exciting experience.
That’s what this New Moon is offering us...the magical reality!
24th December: Saturn moves into Sagittarius at
3.33 am AEDT...hands across the water
until June 2015 when it goes back into Scorpio
for 3 months
Returning to Sagittarius in September 2015 until
December 2017
What’s been happening since Saturn went into Scorpio
October 2012:
Death, dying and destruction of all that is past its ‘use by’
date!
Saturn,
our earth, the Lord of Karma, has been working with the Scorpio transformational
energies with a major makeover for the past 2 years. The
challenges of life on earth during this time have been riding the waves of
transformation through life, death, rebirth and resurrection as the planets
lifted us up, took us through some dark times, seemingly darker than usual, then
deposited us on a sunny shore for breathing space.
We
have been dying in so many ways since October 2012!
From Scorpio to Sagittarius:
Proof of the resurrection, the phoenix is reborn in the
fire!
If you think that Saturn has taken us into the ‘death throes’ of Scorpio’s
alchemical process for the past 2 years, you might get a sense that Saturn in
optimistic Sagittarius will be an uplift, regardless of the challenges presented
by Saturn. There’s no second best with Saturn!
Saturn and his role in our lives: Master of
Manifestation!
Saturn is the earth, ruler of Capricorn, doing
the hard yards, step by step, little by little. Saturn is always calling us to
a mastery of the earth and physical dimension, calling us to be magical masters
of manifestation.
Saturn in Sagittarius: A learning curve on higher
consciousness!
Claim the magical wand that is you, your life force, your entitlement to be
you and to offer your particular gifts to the world.
Saturn is calling us all
to step out of the deconstruction of the past 2 years and to get in touch with
the Sagittarian energies of higher consciousness in relation to our
spirituality, our religious belief systems, higher education and philosophy as
well as world wide linkages to the peoples of the world.
We’re going into a
learning curve that encompasses planet earth and her peoples.
Saturn in Sagittarius: Bringing the fire and life to our
everyday world! Reconstruction and rebuilding may now begin!
Restoring faith
and respect!
We’ve been through the Scorpio energies doing its work with the wrecking
ball and the dredging of clogged waterways in our emotional systems. Scorpio
now steps aside to let Sagittarius do the rebuilding of new foundations of
thinking, new foundations of spiritual faith.
After the shedding of ‘the old’, the new world
presents its goodies for our selection:
Choose carefully and wisely!
During the past 2 years or more, many of us have let go of so much that was
dear to us or we thought was dear to us, as we reached for greater fulfilment in
our lives. Tears have been shed, people have been shed, lifestyles have been
shed, careers have been shed.
Now it is time to refill our lives with what is
meaningful and of heartfelt importance to us. If we’ve done the spiritual work
well, we’ll be more discerning, more discriminating in our choices.
Constructing new foundations to our world with the passion and
higher consciousness of Sagittarius
Sagittarius is all fire and the spirit of higher consciousness. Does this
mean we’re going to be building even taller buildings in our cities. Hold that
image in your mind as we get out the lego blocks!
Contained and focussed optimism and enthusiasm:
Cautious Saturn
helps us get there! Step by step, little by little!
Sagittarius is an expansive, over the top energy which is optimistic,
enthusiastic and adventurous. With Saturn in this sign, we’re more likely to be
in touch with attainable goals as we connect to the contained, sure footed
Saturn which makes sure all the i’s are dotted and the t’s are crossed. Some
astrologers think Saturn will dampen Sagittarian enthusiasm. I’m of the mind
that Saturn will work well for us in this beneficial sign.
Saturn revisiting Scorpio in June for 3 months:
Further
clearance of flotsam and jetsam!
It’s interesting to note that Saturn revisits Scorpio in June for 3 months
which means there’ll be a final clearing of some flotsam and jetsam which may
surface between now and June. I imagine that Saturn’s entry into Sagittarius
will bring up some essential and universal truths for us all which may hammer at
our building blocks. Remember, we still have that Uranus/Pluto consciousness
shifting energy hanging around until after March next year.
Saturn offers gifts which can be overlooked by fast moving, high flyers:
Make the most of these gifts for building a strong, secure future
rooted in your own authority and special gifts and talents!
mastery of our physical lives
commitment and dedication to a specific goal
the energy and life force to complete the ‘mission’
a demand for faith and trust in our higher/divine self
resolution and determination
connection to planet earth
the opportunity to claim authority, respect and reputation
‘We’re only dancing on this earth for a short while’!
Let’s
create something of worth for ourselves and others.
The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon in Capricorn:
From Cathy Pagano http://www.wisdom-of-astrology.com/astrostarsarticles/the-cosmic-story-winter-solstice-capricorn-new-moon-2014
The Sabian symbol for the Sun and Moon at 1*
Capricorn is: An Indian chief claims
power from the assembled tribe.
Here
is the archetypal leader, taking up the power and responsibility to claim
leadership and succor the tribe in times of trouble and need. Being a leader implies staying centered,
grounded and flexible, having the self-respect to live by your own
authority. This is a Cosmic call to
the leader within each of us.

Upcoming Dates:
5th January 2015: Full Moon in Cancer
6th January 2015: Mercury moves into Aquarius
We’re coming in out of ‘the
cold’!
That’s it folks, until the New Year, 2015! 2014 has been quite a tough
one. We thought we’d be up and away with the horse energy of the Chinese year
of the horse. But that Mars hanging out in Libra, retrograding, moving back
over shadow again, kept our physical energies very much focussed on the Libran
cosmic justice with karmic balance being restored, ever so gradually on the
personal and global level.
We’re still working with this karmic rebalancing, particularly with the
Uranus/Pluto square aspect which comes to a completion next year.
That will mark the end of this aspect which has been dominating the planetary
forces since 2012.
Next year promises more uplifting energies with Saturn’s moves out of
Scorpio into Sagittarius. Yes, Saturn is a dampener and makes any party
‘serious business’. However we won’t be in the Scorpionic death throes, which
has given us 2 years of dark travel into the cave of the world psyche. Of
course, there will be ongoing changes with the Uranus/Pluto shifting and moving
us until it culminates in March.
I’ll sign off to you all with well wishes for this ending to a significant
period of change which demanded our all. The path ahead shows promise as we
enter an 8 year numerologically, a year which opens us up to our own empowerment
and strength.
My dearest love to you all, those I know, those I don’t know and strangers
across the world. We are hands across the world and with our light of hope and
faith in a better world for ourselves and others we are holding and
strengthening ourselves and others.
A Happy New Year to all and may the Capricorn gnomes of abundance visit you
in the coming days, weeks and months! Let the planet be restored to equity,
peace and justice. That means prosperity for every one of us!
As Tiny Tim
said in Dickens ‘A Christmas Carol’, ‘God bless us everyone’.
