Happy
New Year! We welcome in this new
decade with anticipation. The Sun
is in Capricorn. Jupiter is in Capricorn.
Saturn
is in Capricorn. Pluto is in Capricorn. If you were born under the sign of Capricorn, you probably
know that this energy is earthy and serious. It gravitates to rocks and dark
earthy colors. Capricorn wears a
dark suit, is careful and ambitious. Capricorn often gets the promotion and proceeds
to get the job done nicely. Capricorn
says, be methodical and preserve. Be like the mountain goat and stand in one
place until it is time to climb up a little higher. Of course Capricorn does
rule government, corporations, organizations, protocol, rules and regulations,
and the Father principle. Planet Saturn rules Capricorn and, again, Saturn is
currently transiting Capricorn. This should be good. Saturn is comfortable in
the sign it rules. Saturn promotes being realistic and practical. We must be realistic about how we are
managing our lives here in the earth plane. But Pluto is also with Saturn. Not
easy. Saturn is struggling to hold
on to its traditional ways of doing things. Saturn relies on precedence to get
the job done. Pluto is the destroyer! Pluto is putting our Saturnian ways through
a meat grinder. Our legal system seems to crumble under the Joker’s smile. Even
our Constitution is ignored while Pluto throws our cherished beliefs into the
mud. Out of this drama something new will emerge. Something new will grow from
the mud, from the chaos and destruction.
Jupiter
has joined Capricorn on the stage. Jupiter is expansive and optimistic. However,
Capricorn can be like a wet blanket, so Jupiter is not especially jolly in the
sign of Capricorn. Keep in mind that a planet takes on the attributes of the
sign it is visiting. Jupiter spends one year in each astrological sign. What
can we expect with Jupiter in Capricorn?
Perhaps Jupiter has come along just in time to ensure the preservation
of law and order. Jupiter rules THE LAW.
Jupiter belongs to the ninth house of the horoscope. This house has domain over the higher
mind and the beliefs that we live by. If we want to continue believing that
greed is the new T-shirt, I guess we can. But Jupiter in Capricorn would frown
on that. Jupiter amplifies whatever it touches. If it touches Capricorn it will
make Capricorn issues bigger. Issues like being pragmatic, following the rules
that work here on planet earth—cause and effect. Capricorn is the sign that tells us to be responsible and do
the right thing.
On
January 7, Saturn and Pluto will line up together at 22 degrees of Capricorn.
This is called a conjunction.
Everything that has been happening for the past couple of years is in
the spotlight. Hopefully the Pluto-Saturn conjunction will bring some
reasonable agreements on touchy subjects in the very near future. Shortly after this conjunction—the reality
and tradition of Saturn and the profound transformation of Pluto--we have a
Lunar Eclipse in Cancer (the sign opposite Capricorn). Here’s hoping there will be some
resolution to many problems that have been facing us. A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
might uncover information that helps brings solutions to longstanding
situations.
Remember,
Capricorn is an earth sign. When it comes to climate change, we could be more
realistic about what needs to be done to help Mother Earth. Capricorn is the
responsible parent. We could be more mature in our understanding and
actions. If we avoid being
grown-ups, we remain unconscious and dependent on some authority figure to tell
us what is right. We remain more vulnerable
than we should be.
The
New Year starts off big with Capricorn. Because earth signs do not move fast,
we cannot expect a lot of rapid action. We might feel frustrated but we need to remember that
Capricorn is doing its job. One
step at a time.
Each
of us has a life story that is unfolding. Each of us has messy Pluto stuff
going on somewhere. All this Capricorn energy requires every ounce of maturity
we have. Remember, we can think it
faster than we can do it. Walking through the Earth plane is slower than
thinking our way through it.
Patience! Use common sense.
Be the grown-up in the room and you will hopefully get your prize!
Here
are words of guidance for a new decade. They come from The Upanishads, wisdom
that emerged in India thousands of years ago:
“Watch
your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch
your actions, they become your habits. Watch your habits, they become
character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”
Welcome
to 2020! Happy New Year!
