22nd December 2014 Sun into Capricorn, December Solstice, New Moon in Capricorn

 
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!

Capricorn energy calls us to take our authority and in doing so, to take the path to the success that comes from fulfilment of our ambitions and desires, that fills us with the self-respect that comes from ‘a job well done’ from doing what we love for ourselves and for the 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!

Capricorn plugs us into the earth and calls us to ground our hopes and dreams. The call is for us to commit to what’s in our hearts and to commit to ourselves as spiritual beings living an earthly existence.  Venus in Capricorn is helping us get in touch with what’s good for us, what brings us joy and ignites our heart in our earthly existence.  What’s good for us is good for the earth.  I’m talking here of higher consciousness rather than the hedonistic pursuit of pleasure at the expense of creative fulfilment. Mercury in Capricorn is putting us in touch with the particular message of our pathway forward. Once we get the clarity in our mind, the power of the heart will fuel us in our first steps.
 

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: 

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’.

It’s all about love
