30th December 2015 Venus moves into Sagittarius

 
Hi everyone!  

Wow!  

What an amazing full moon in Cancer! 
 
You can never tell accurately how the energies will impact each one of us but it definitely felt like a gentle caressing energy after such a turbulent year.  

The completion of old energies and old wounds seemed palpable and the mood of many seemed more optimistic and hopeful than we’ve had for many a long time. It may not have been like that for all of us but for many, it was a Christmas with a difference.
 
It really feels like we’re standing atop the Capricorn pinnacle of higher consciousness looking across the countryside, seeing the wider perspective, the bigger picture with a perception that is opening us up to the new potentials presenting in the new year.


A culminating full moon:  What’s changed?  Stay tuned!
The potent energies of Uranus at a standstill, combined with the Full Moon in Cancer energy brought something to a close, to a turning point.  For many, it’s been a peaceful and blessed Christmas without the intense bombardment of ‘war’ news.  Yes, it’s still happening but it felt like we had a ceasefire of sorts even for a day or two. The playing out of these changes will be flowing on for the next few days, into the new year and right up to the New Moon in Capricorn on 10th January.

Battle scarred? 
Knocked out...then back again! 
Still standing...just!
Many of us are battle scarred from the past 3 years of intense change and evolution which has bombarded us on all levels, emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically.  I don’t know about everyone else but the energies of transmutation of the physical body, the cell memories and DNA upgrade have left me at times gasping for air as I breathed in the light. 
 

26th December:  Uranus stationing/turning direct in Aries
The sudden and unexpected energies of Uranus were overlaying the Full Moon energies and had the potential to bring an enlightening moment, insight, an opening to something new. That energy is still with us. Uranus is at a still point and doesn’t move forward until 2nd/3rd January. 
 
Lightning strike sparks big bushfire in Australia:
I was hoping that we wouldn’t have a dramatic unpleasant manifestation of this in the world.  However, we had huge bushfires in Australia on the southern coast The Great Ocean Road where a few small surfing towns filled with holidaymakers were overwhelmed with a loss of 116 homes. 
 
Interesting that Uranus/lightning striker stationed/came to a standstill to move direct in fiery Aries whilst we’re sitting in the fullness of the Cancer ‘home and hearth’ full moon.
 
 

Storm activity:  
Meanwhile, other extraordinary weather ‘storms’ were occurring in USA, UK, South America and Asia affecting homes, families and some loss of life with tornadoes and floods. We also have monsoon season in the far north of Australia with big flooding this year and some loss of life.  There may well have been other extreme weather events across the world.  We’ve ALMOST become so used to these occurrences that we expect to hear about them on a regular basis.
 


 
What’s coming in:
26th to 6th January:  All planets now direct!  
Are we there...yet?  We’re finding our feet! 
Nevertheless, the Uranus station is significant as it opened up a period of time when all the planets are moving direct. Our whole focus shifts to the ‘outer’ physical world.  We may not feel like taking action...just yet.  But we are preparing to step forward into more physicality, more physical presence in the wider world.  


For good reason we’re feeling cautious as we ask ‘Is it time...yet?’ and ‘Are we there...yet?’ We couldn’t have a more important time to test our inner voice’s attunement to the energies coming in.  It’s time to reclaim our confidence...if it’s been in short supply. When the physical body is morphing and contorting with chemical and molecular changes, we’ve had good reason to feel a little insecure.  After all, we’re living on a planet of physicality.  

Stormy weather: Discoveries, insights, realisations!
Uranus direct but in stillness!
With Uranus stationing/turning direct on 26th December, all the planets are travelling direct until Mercury turns direct on 6th January. It puts the focus on our outer physical world but not necessarily on rapid outer movement.
Uranus is actually stationary, on the same degree until 2nd January. This is a kind of explosive emergence energy with Uranus coming out of the inner subconscious workings that have been happening since he went 'undercover' in July. We are digesting, ruminating on the discoveries being brought by Uranus, the higher mind messenger.
Go easy at this auspicious time. Just let the energies flow and give room to move. Mercury, the messenger is not travelling super fast either. We may well be dealing with the physical body and the recalibration, release, cleanse process of dense energies.

From Stephanie Azaria Cosmic Consciousness Daily:  www.thecosmicpath.com


With Uranus now stationed direct, we will be in a Uranian lightning storm until the Great Awakener starts moving again, on January 2. At the same time, on December 30, Mercury enters his storm period, slowing to less than a degree of motion per day until he stations and goes retrograde on January 5. The combination of these two storms, especially at a time when none of the planets within the inner realm of our soular system (that is, not including planets in the Kuiper belt outside of Pluto) are retrograde. Everything is moving in direct motion.

 
Planets in direct motion make us work with the physical world:  
We expand in physical consciousness!
We’re working very much on the physical experience of life on earth.  It doesn’t always mean physical movement as we see it.  However, it may be growth and change within the physical body and the physical experience of our daily lives. 
 
Retrograde planets take us within and grow us ‘inside’:  
We expand into higher consciousness!
Retrograde planets give us rapid growth in higher consciousness as we’re working on the inner changes with the unseen forces of mind, emotion, spirit.  When planets are retrograde, we’re more inclined to want to withdraw from some activity in the physical world.  We’re working undercover with one or more aspects of self and our life.  Keep this in mind with Mercury retrograde period coming up in early January.
 
30th December:    Venus moves into Sagittarius at 6.16 pm AEDT
Until 23rd January
Our heart is our guiding light:
Venus is the planet of love and is our heart energy.   Where it goes is our guiding light and focus for the time it’s travelling through any sign.
 
Opening to the truth and wisdom of the heart:  The ‘knowing’ heart!
Venus in Sagittarius is taking us into an energy which activates our heart’s ‘knowing’ where we’re being invited to ‘feel’ our way forward, to listen to the heart’s wisdom. 
 
The ease of life in ‘knowing’ rather than ‘thinking’:
How about we stop ‘thinking’ it through, over and over and embrace more fully the ‘knowingness’ that emanates from us when we hear the wisdom of our soul through our heart. When we think things through we get locked into old patterns and cycles of thought forms and memories which put us in a loop of repetition of old patterns. 
 
Still using our mind:  The higher mind!
Being in the knowingness doesn’t discount the mind energy.  It just puts it in a place of support of the higher knowledge that comes from soul connection.
 
In doing so, we’re actually expanding our mind with new ways of feeling, thinking and acting which flow on from such expansion.
We are living in the energies of ‘ease and grace’ as distinct from overthinking, hard work and struggle.

 
The planet of love takes our heart into the world:  Our expanded heart wisdom embraces compassion, forgiveness, mercy and universal love!
In Sagittarius, our heart expands with love for the wider world, the people of the world and for the unification of the world in higher truth and wisdom.
 
The Golden book of divine wisdom is opening our hearts:

Sagittarius rules higher consciousness of spirit.  It is of the fire element which ignites consciousness with the passion to reach for divine knowledge, spirituality, learning and growth along with making connections across the world.

 


And brings the world into our heart:
Sagittarius is a worldly energy which embraces ‘foreign’ places, people, knowledge and cultures.  What a great energy for welcoming in the New Year!  The ‘crusader’ energy unites us in the power of universal love and healing.  I wonder how this will play out in 2016 as we enter a whole new year, complete the past 3 years of intense recalibration and bring something to fruition.  After all, it is numerologically a 9 year.
 


 
24th December:    
Lauren Gorgo’s 5D latest message ‘Christ is Born:  BE the revelation’
 
As 2015 draws to a close, we end this universal “8” year of spiritual-meets-material mastery with quite an exclamation point.
For the last 36 months…since the 12-12-12 gateway…those solely dedicated to their personal ascension have been diligently working as a collective to merge the spiritual and material worlds (as above, so below).  Of course, that merging of heaven and earth began with(in) each and every one of us (as within, so without) so that by this coming year (2016) we could begin to witness the physical emergence of this ultimate union in the world around us…beginning with ourSelves.

Needless to say, this year’s 12:12 gateway represented a major turning point…the anniversary of/ending to the 3-year journey of our descension leading to this present phase of embodiment that many are realizing thru the resurrection process.  In 2016 (a universal 9 year marked bycompletion) we will move into the many ongoing (hu)manifestations/revelations of this “3” year process.

That’s it folks!  We’re heading into the New Year with the planet of love carrying us out to the wider world, opening our hearts to higher consciousness and all manner of possibilities which could ignite our interest, our enthusiasm, our joy.
 
Plenty of planetary shifts in the first couple of weeks of January as you can see by upcoming dates. I decided to spread out the info a little, so two updates in the first week of January. 
 
As always, my pilgrim companions, I wish us all well as we cross the threshold into the new year of 2016.  It promises to be interesting and active with the mutable signs of Sagittarius, Virgo, Pisces and Gemini driving changes and bringing variety.  We have a transit of the Sun by Mercury, ruler of Gemini and Virgo in May and Saturn in Sagittarius, Jupiter in Virgo and Neptune and Chiron in Pisces playing pivotal roles in ringing in some changes.
 
2016 is a universal ‘9’ year, a year of completion! Wishing you a happy New Year and may your own personal blessings rain down on you, fill you and surround you with the joy of life! 
 
Love and blessings everyone!

25th December, 2015 Full Moon in Cancer

Hi everyone! 
 
It’s just a couple of days since the Solstice, a turning point in our seasonal year.  The Capricorn goat is calling us to a higher order of expression of the mundane, physical world.  The hills and mountains are beckoning!
 
What’s been happening:
 
Solstice purification:
It was a powerful day for the purification energies as we stepped over the threshold from the Sagittarian Sun into the Capricorn Sun...grounding all that fire and crusading idealism and morality.
 
Ongoing clearance with Sagittarian themes:  Religion, morality, law!

With Saturn trawling through Sagittarius along with the Sun, we’ve been clearing that ‘old’ crusading energy from the memory banks.  Oh yes!  The Crusades!  Possibly, probably and much more of the masculine expression of the warrior energy on earth acting on the religious beliefs and dogma of the past.  
 
 



Shifting into unconditional love:  Out of the dogma and doghouse!
We’re clearing old karmic energies and memories associated with past religious belief systems and morality.  Of course The Crusades fits right in with this along with any form of ‘right and wrong’ rules, laws and enactment of such in the name of religion and/or spirituality. The Inquisitions and Witch hunts are in there along with persecutions across centuries, cultures, religions and nations.   Need I go on?  Saturn is in Sagittarius for the long haul but now the Sun has moved on so a shift in focus for our solar light work from Sagittarius to Capricorn.


 
The physical body:  Capricorn
Many people may have felt this purification in the physical body as we’re still in the throes and ups and downs of the biological recalibration. Capricorn rules joints, bones, skeletal frame and knees so along with the solar activity we may well have been feeling this for a while as Mercury is already on the long haul trawling through Capricorn until February 2016.  Now the Sun joins Mercury bringing some much needed light to the physical body.   


 
Work and Success:  Doing it differently!  
Manifesting destiny from within...calling it in!   
It is our choice, treadmill mentality or ease and grace!
We have the Sun in Capricorn until 21st January, a time when many in our world are on holidays, especially in the Southern Hemisphere.  Yet, Capricorn energy is urging us to work, to build some solid foundations for 2016.  

But we need to ask ourselves ‘what is work’ and ‘what is our ambition’.  We are reframing these understandings within ourselves, shifting from the old ‘treadmill’ mentality to higher consciousness and a more evolved expression of ourselves in the world. We’re choosing work as ‘joy’ and ‘creativity’ and ‘passion’.  We’re choosing our divine destiny to come to us rather than chasing around looking for our ‘perfect’ job and ‘perfect’ workplace.

 
Muggle or magical or both:  It’s not a black/white process!   
We’re clicking in and out of dimensions all the time!
Every zodiac sign carries within it layers of consciousness which tap into our level of consciousness and we switch between these levels as we grow into higher consciousness.  We still have our feet on the earth and are interacting with various layers of consciousness with everyone we meet.
 
Freeing the bird within:  
Transcending the karmic ties, cell memories and old patterns of behaviour!
When we’re operating in 3 dimensional reality, our perception is driven by the values, attitudes and consciousness of what’s been on the earth for a long time.  It requires desire, commitment and focus to lift our consciousness to the higher dimensions.  We may shift in and out of 3D to 5D consciousness. 
 
The mastery is of course maintaining the higher consciousness regardless of circumstances. And that means being conscious of transcending the emotions which keep us acting out the soapie re-runs.  This Christmas Day, for those of you who gather with family, this is the test of mastery and awareness.  
 
 
19th/20th December:  Geomagnetic storms! 
A CME hit Earth's magnetic field on Saturday, Dec. 19th, sparking more than 24 hours of G1- and G2-classgeomagnetic storms. The storms are subsiding now.
 
This is what the display looked like over Canada's Yukon Territory:
 
23rd December:  Solar flaring with a high level M class flare!
As we know, flares and magnetic storms can impact upon our physical bodies in a whole range of symptoms from a burst of adrenaline to tiredness/exhaustion, headaches and sudden strange aches and pains.
 

Essentially, they send a light download to the earth which flushes out dense energies from the physical world, including our personal physical bodies.
 
More M class flares (medium) on 24th.
 
 
What’s coming in:
25th December:    
Full Moon in Cancer at 3 degrees 20 Cancer at 10.11pm AEDT
 
Focus for this full moon: Home, family, childhood, mother, memories!
 
Social interaction under the Gemini Moon until 4.26 pm AEDT
Interesting that leading up to the moon going into Cancer at 4.26 pm AEST, we have a void Gemini moon which will really hold that hectic Gemini energy at a point of stillness.  So, for those in the Australian eastern time zone, we’ll spend a good part of Christmas Day under a Gemini Moon until 4.26 pm. 
 
Those in the USA will wake to the Cancerian moon which is interesting as Cancer ‘mom and apple pie’ rules USA. For the UK, the Cancerian Moon kicks in at 5.26 am GMT with the Full Moon at 11.11 am GMT.

 

The Fullness of the Moon in the sign of Cancer, the divine mother!
Here comes the energy of the divine feminine to open our hearts to the emotions and love that emanate from our own internal divine mother energy.  We all carry the inner mother and father and when we heal our inner child/children we call on these divine energies to uplift those childhood memories into a higher consciousness.  We grow our children! 

 

Reclaiming and renewing the inner child:
If ever there was a moon for healing the inner child, the childhood, family memories, issues around home and place of belonging, this is it!
 
Feeling without imploding:
Allowing ourselves to feel the emotion without overwhelm is always the case with any full moon.  However, the Cancer Full Moon promises big emotions which will need release.  Sometimes the Cancerian protective shell prevents the show of such emotions.  Better to let them show this time around as the results are likely to be supportive and nurturing. 
 
Home is where the heart is:  Nothing truer this time around!
Cancer rules the home and brings into focus any feelings about belonging/not belonging about where we’re living, our household and those who share that home space.  We could find new possibilities arise at this Full Moon which promise soul connections with soul family within the home, maybe a new home.
 
Memories are made of this:  Moon dust and emotion!  
Soul bonding with love!
Cancer is ruled by the Moon so the Full Moon in this sign has added weight and power...emotional power!  This Full Moon is all emotion, falling on Christmas Day, the first time since 1977.  This is a most unusual event which promises the upliftment and fullness of hearts united providing we’re prepared to rise above old petty childhood hurts, disagreements and misalignments with family members.  Open hearts and minds!
 


Something comes to fullness, to fruition, to completion!  
Endings!  Be open to positive heart warming energies!
The full Moon is always a point of culmination. a release of energies which have been building for some time. The release can be a sudden letting go of pent up energies and with Uranus stationing to go direct tomorrow, the release can be unexpected. Think ‘good’ surprises as the planetary energies are fortunate and optimistic.
 
Positive, heart-opening energies at this Full Moon:  Heart healing!  Heart connection!
There are some planetary aspects happening at this time with a beneficial and positive connection between Venus/heart energy in Scorpio with Jupiter in Virgo/expansive healing energy.  Along with that we have the Full Moon in trine/positive connection to the feminine marriage asteroid Juno which promises the possibility of some heart warming, heart opening moments of emotional connection to a significant other. 
 
 
 


Sabian Symbols for the Full Moon in Cancer: 
From Lynda Hill
 
 
26th December:    Uranus stations direct in Aries 16 degrees 34 Aries at 2.52 pm AEDT
Expect the unexpected:  

Uranus moving direct offers change and possibly new direction!

Coming in so closely following the Full Moon. we can expect the unexpected!  Uranus is the lightning striker, wake up energy which is travelling through fiery Aries long term.  We’re likely to experience Uranus’ lightning strike insights along with the Full Moon which always brings something new to light.
 
New information coming to light:  Aha moments!
Coming out of the emotional release of the Full Moon, Uranus is emerging from his retrograde journey of the past 5 months.
New information is emerging as he moves direct.  In combination with the Full Moon which impacts us for 3 days either side of its fullness, we’re likely to have some sudden insights along with emotional releases. 
 
Revelations and sudden changes:  
Be open to changing your mind, your heart and your desires!
Uranus makes sudden moves, especially in Aries and while he’s been retrograde he’s been working on our psyche, our inner life.
As he moves direct, he connects with all the emotion of the full moon at this time and ignites all manner of ideas, emotions, passions and desires which may have been hidden away up to this time.

That’s it everyone! We’re drawing to the end of 2015 with a Full Moon in Cancer carrying us through emotionally in this last week of the year.  What a message! What potential for divine reunion on so many levels of our being.   
 
As always love and blessings to all my fellow travellers on the road less travelled. I’m happy to ride with the fantasy of Santa, Good ol’ Saint Nick as he delivers hopes and dreams to more than children.  When my young students asked me ‘Is Santa real?’ I’d always respond ‘Do you believe he’s real?’  And if they said ‘yes’, I’d say ‘If you believe he’s real, then he’s real’.  So, time to start believing in our very own version of Santa, of the world of hope and joy. 
 
Make a wish at this Full Moon and keep believing it’s coming true. Our faith in the power of imagination, the magic of creative power may be a little tarnished so get out the silver and gold polish and shine it up.

22nd December, 2015 Sun into Capricorn/December solstice

 
Hi everyone!
 
It’s the December solstice, a midpoint of our year.  For the Northern Hemisphere, it’s Winter Solstice and for the Southern Hemisphere, Summer Solstice.  It’s a cosmic turning point for us all. 
 
2015:  Two steps forward, one step back!  Waiting...waiting!
I feel like the whole year’s been packed with cosmic turning points, doorways to higher consciousness, engagement with cosmic board games akin to snakes and ladders and Monopoly!

 
We’re following the yellow brick road:  Or is it the star of hope???  Both!
We’ve been squeezed, battered, pushed, shoved, coaxed, persuaded and in between the rough patches, soothed with the cosmic hands of hope and reassured by the promise of greater fulfilment in our lives through living and breathing our divinity. 
 
If you’re ok, you’re ok:  All’s well!
If you haven’t experienced this kind of a year, be assured that all is well and carry on regardless!  Counting blessings is a good way to go!
 
Mass planetary awakening this year:
However, I think there has been a massive ‘awakening’ across the planet as more and more people had their eyes opened to the state of our earth and the systems and ideologies that govern our nations and our social fabric.
 
What’s been happening:
 
The past couple of weeks Pluto/Uranus/Mars T-square of change:  Wake-up calls all over!  Fears be gone now!
Many people have been experiencing sudden breakdowns, breakthroughs, experiences which ‘shock’ the system such as I experienced with the dog bite a couple of weeks ago. If the planets are aligned with you in relation to this, you may have had just such an experience.  I feel the ‘shocks’ have been clearing all manner of known and unknown fears, doubts, phobias and insecurities that have been residing in our systems for who knows how long.  If you’ve been through such an experience I trust you are coming back together in some new form. 
 
 
19th December:  Sun crossed the Galactic Centre at 27 degrees Sagittarius...breathe in the new, breathe out the ‘old’!

The Sun crossed the Galactic Centre, the black hole at the centre of our Galaxy. In Astrology it's regarded as a powerful source of creative power, giving access to higher consciousness.
 
I think of it as 'the great void' where I go to empty out everything, to be dissolved nothingness. Ego is released and attachments fall away. I imagine myself floating in space beyond the Sun. Not usually as chaotically as this out of control astronaut!
The Sun and GC were in square/challenge/opportunity to the planetary lunar nodes working with the evolution of consciousness on planet earth at this time. They are at 27 degrees Virgo/Pisces so plenty of flushing of old consciousness from the collective. 

We're working very much with the powerful healing agent of the Virgo North Node energies and that means the physical body while the Piscean South Node is releasing the collective spiritual wounds of humanity. Whew! Breathe everyone and let it happen.
Download and release:  
With the release of the planetary forces on this day, we experienced a cosmic download of energy which may well have whipped up, flushed out some deep seated spiritual wounds from within the physical body.  The full uplift from this event may well come as a follow on from this day and on through the solstice on 22nd right up to the Full Moon in Cancer on 25th December which promises to bring forth memories and emotional times with family. 

19th/20th December:  Magnetic storms and accompanying auroras!  More clearing energies!
Just to make sure we ‘got the message’ about cosmic change, the Sun joined in with storms in the geomagnetic field, stirring up all manner of physical symptoms and providing more clearance.  We’re on a fast track to ascension...so it seems!
 
More pics of Tasmania’s Aurora Australis on 19th/20th
 
20th December:    
Mercury entered ‘shadow’ retrograde at 14 degrees 54 Capricorn
Until 5th January 2016 when Mercury turns retrograde until 25th January 2016
Mercury will be back on track, out of shadow time and retrograde time by 14th February

From 20th December to 5th January:  
We’ll be re-treading this ground at beginning of February!
Trekking through the canyons of the mind as Mercury starts his exploratory journey through Capricorn, a sign which is earthy, grounded and calls for our highest expression and achievement.  Whatever ‘ground’ we cover between now and 5th of January will be manifesting in its more polished form from beginning of February.
 
Mercury thinks outside the box and Capricorn can get caught up in the
‘box’ of safe and secure!
Mercury’s an airy mental energy which needs some harnessing to bring all that flightiness down to earth into practical applications and Capricorn’s just the energy to do that.   Mercury would rather be flying a kite than trekking through the canyons Capricorn’s mountains. 
 
The lure of exploration and adventure calls to Mercury:
However....Mercury is all curiosity so the lure of exploration of the psyche and the challenge to bring all that mental energy and ideas to earth is likely to be an experience which keeps Mercury fully engaged.
 
As we let Mercury explore possibilities within the parameters of practical steps in the physical world. we’re likely to find new solutions to old problems.
 
Mercury in Capricorn means business!  Mercury makes connections to others and finds the solution to practical demands!
One of the things with Mercury in Capricorn is the desire to ground the flightiness into making real progress in the material world.  Mercury rules commerce as well as social networking and brainstorming and Capricorn is in full flight with commercial and business ideas and projects.  

This partnership will be beneficial for those of us who are working on new directions and possibilities with new connections to like minded others.
 
Easy does it even as you feel the urge to get it together:  
Capricorn likes steady progress building solid foundations!
We need to remember that we are under the umbrella of the Mercury retrograde energy so maybe masses of ideas and progress leading up to the retrograde period which then takes us into 3 weeks of refining, sorting, reviewing any of those ideas. projects or possibilities.  This is the benefit of Mercury retrograde time. 
 


22nd December:  Sun into Capricorn/December solstice at 3.47 pm AEDT
Until 21st January 2016

Climb that mountain!
Capricorn energy ignites us with the urge for respect, reputation and reaching a pinnacle of achievement in our lives. As we get in touch with these energies within ourselves, feeling the respect that comes from knowing a job is well done, so we pitch ourselves into the Capricorn desire to climb the mountain!
 
My place on earth:  I am a valuable being!  I belong!
The sense of respect for ourselves derives from a deep sense of value for ourselves as a physical being on this earthly plane of existence.  Capricorn is an earth sign and is very much focussed on the material world bringing us a sense of where we ‘fit’ into the scheme of life.  When we find our niche, our place of belonging, we’re in the right place at the right time and the flow of ‘magic’, synchronicity is ongoing. 


Gonna climb that mountain:
I see Capricorn as the mountains of the earth as its energy calls us to go to the heights, to be the best we can be.  The goat is its emblem scaling sheer cliffs and accessing the most incredible locations on craggy outcrops.  That’s what we’re called to do when the Sun’s in Capricorn...find our mountain and climb it!  Of course so many of us are already on the upward climb and seeking a closer liaison with the Sun.  But is there a new mountain waiting our discovery!
 


Being ruled by Saturn, Capricorn values maintaining the status quo and tradition:  Rules, rules, rules are there to be obeyed, aren’t they???
From Topol in ‘Fiddler on the Roof’:  
‘And how do we keep our balance?  That I could tell you in one word ‘tradition!’
 
Everything old is being renewed, revamped and upgraded as we shift in consciousness:  We’re changing the status quo, the old paradigms!

In our current shift in consciousness, Capricorn is undergoing a major overhaul and makeover thanks to Pluto’s long term transit of this sign which stands for authority, governments, big organisations, systems and multinationals, power authorities of all kinds. So we’re not exactly working with the same old Capricorn energy which is undergoing constant challenge to change the status quo. 
 
Capricorn oversees and underpins physical and financial security and finding success through work!  Getting off the treadmill!
With the Capricorn Sun, we have the strong urge to focus on the physical world of work and financial security.  There’s no escape from Capricorn who was probably the first building block of the belief that ‘you don’t get anything without hard work’.  

That ethos has been ruling us and our societies and economies for so long, it’s not easy to shift to a different economic paradigm with an accompanying social system which supports ‘ease and grace’.  And yet that’s what most of us are doing, learning to take ‘the path of least resistance’!  At least those of us ‘on the road less travelled’!
 
Capricorn Mastery manifestation of hopes and dreams:  
Take the time to call those dreams into earthly reality!
Many of us have lost sight of some of our dreams in these past years as we have been purifying, cleansing cell memories and nursing our minds, bodies and emotions through the process as we experienced major healing of spiritual ‘wounds’ whether personal, ancestral and/or planetary.
 
Hope renewed and revitalised:  
Believing in the magic!
Some of us have been working with all three layers whilst others have been focussed on one or two.  We’re following our soul’s direction and acceptance of our ‘brief’ has been the greatest part of the surrender and trust process. For many of us this month of 2015 represents a big shift in our lives and a resurgence of hope and life force which has seemed to have been AWOL. The refinement of our desires into the absolute truth of our divine destiny has brought us to the point of knowing who we are and what we truly desire for our fulfilment. Time to call in the dreams and believe!

A couple of quotes from the above message: 
 
‘The December Vortex Points
Beloved Family of Light, between the 12:12 and 12:19 (12th December and 19th December), you will be integrating and preparing for the powerful Galactic energies that will flow to Earth from the Galactic Center through the Southern Planetary Portal over Antarctica.
The 12:12 Portal allows for an acceleration of frequency and an influx of Giolden Light to prepare the Earth and all her inhabitants for the powerful vortices of energy to come.
The 12:19, on the 19th of December, represents the perfect alignment of the Galactic Center and the Sun at 27 degrees of the constellation of Sagittarius in traditional astrology. In 13 Sign astrology, the Sun has been in Ophiucus or Asclepius, the sign of Christ the Healer, and this has been acting as an engine of power that brings the Earth into alignment with the Galactic Center and the Great Central Sun. At this moment, there is a direct "transmission" of Light Codes from the Galactic Council, transmitting the patterns and sounds of the Cosmic Heart to our Earth. These will again accelerate Evolution and Transformation. These will be received via the Southern Portal in Antarctica, and will be transmitted to Humanity via the Earth Grid Node points in New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Argentina and Chile. Very rapidly they will be transmitted around the Earth, bringing the message of transformation!’
And
‘Then. Beloved Ones, a few days later, on the night of the 21st and 22nd December, you will experience the Planetary Solstice. This represents the moment when the Earth seems to stand still on its own axis, before it begins its return journey around the sun allowing for the change of the seasons. In the South it is Summer Solstice, and has the longest day and the shortest night. It is a Celebration of Light and Creativity and Life. In the Northern lands it is the Winter Solstice, and here it is the shortest day and the longest night of the year. This represents the rebirthing of the Light as the days begin to become longer in the journey towards summer.’
