Sun in Capricorn
So the sun is half-way through the sign of Capricorn. I usually don’t mention astrology here, but since I am in the middle of some decision making processes, I thought an excerpt from the Evolutionary Astrology Network newsletter I receive would be appropriate. Read on…
Mercury makes a superior conjunction to the Sun on January 6/7 at 16/17 degrees Capricorn. Down to business, what is real? This is the time for more “answers” to the previous Mercury retrograde cycle in Scorpio last November. Watch out for any patterns that ignore the emotions again.
This can be an excellent time to set realistic goals as we move beyond the holidays and our emotional wakeup calls. It could be a good time to put things down on paper, or have some honest conversations. Capricorn is cardinal energy so it can change when it needs to. Perhaps an outline that helps Cap move forward step-by-step. A lack of ability to sustain new directions is what trips up the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn).
Make an effort to observe any conditioning patterns. How would you like to break out of them and liberate yourself? Initiations here could pick up momentum as the planets move into Aquarius.
The beginning of the calendar year, and Sun through Capricorn, is a time for many to reflect upon work and career, and desire change. As we process through our emotional world this solar month, utilize this energy to set new career goals. We all must learn to socially mature and interact with our outer worlds. We then balance this with our need to individuate.
We each must decide for ourselves – self-determination – how to create an outer world, including a career that works for us. It is easier when we accept complete responsibility for whatever is in our world. We are the attractor magnet, consciously and unconsciously, in our life. Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, shows the structural nature of our individual consciousness and how we manifest creation.
This individuated consciousness desires security, which usually means conformity or being consistent. This interacts with our desire to evolve and become. No wonder so many of us project the past forward. Solar Capricorn helps us figure out when to change and when to remain consistent. It shows us how to change, many times through depression from old crystallized realities that cause us to go inward and ask why. Understanding that Cap depression is a natural function of consciousness can relieve a load of guilt, and motivate us to actually change things.
Mars makes a waxing trine to Saturn retrograde on January 8 at 24 degrees Sagittarius-Leo. Here is Saturn retro, asking us to release those old realities depressing us, while Mars in Sag wants to push forward. What to do? How to do it? This is an aspect of creativity, and Saturn has been in Leo for 1.5 years now, so what intuitive messages are coming through for you?
Quest for self-honesty and getting real. Saturn retro opens the door to the unconsciousness and lets glimpses of our own soul come to the surface. What keeps creatively sparking you? What ideas are Mars in Sag contributing? Sun in Capricorn can help us set some goals now, while Mars-Saturn figures out a way to bust through. Just watch any grandiosity, let your real self shine forth.
This week will find us building momentum with the desires that excite us as Mars waxing trines Saturn and then conjuncts Pluto. Be honest in accepting the release of the desires within our soul that no longer serve us.
