Astrology For January 2018
What are the different
roads you are pulling together in your life? What train station are you
destined to move into and where will that take you?
Direction,
structure, and grounded purpose are the focus this year because there is a lot
of Capricorn energy that is going to color your world through 2020. And it
starts right at the beginning. I believe that beginnings of astrological shifts
are often profound and do a lot of foreshadowing as to what and how a
particular energy is going to unfold. This January, it starts off with a bang
and a lot of planets are going to be in Capricorn (an earth sign). It is that
warning, “Ready or not here we come!” If you are ready, you will weather the
density in a more constructive and productive way. If you are not ready, you
might find yourself thrown into those places you have been avoiding for way too
long.
Jan 1, Full Moon in Cancer. This Moon sets the stage for the entire
year. The Moon is in its natural place, the 4th House (The House of
Home, Family, Emotional Security, Karma, the Mother, and the lessons of the
Caretaker within you). The Moon is opposing Mercury, Saturn, Venus, Sun, and
Pluto. And they are all either in the 9th House (The House of Spirituality,
Learning Morals, Travel Wisdom, Expansion, Higher Mind, and Rituals and the
lessons of the Seeker within you) or the 10th House (The House of
Status, and Structure, Career, Destiny, Duty, Honor, and the lessons of
Organization). I believe this energy is attempting to set the stage for what
you are to prepare for as your life progresses under these energies. Your
Emotional Security is going to be opposed by Karma, Miscommunication, Struggle,
Love, Negotiating, and Melancholy. And most of it is in the 10th
House of your Destiny. You are going to embark on a journey and that journey is
not going to be easy. Who you have been, who you wish to become, and who your
Highest Self intends to shape you into are going to put you through a threshing
machine to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Notice that
statement does not have the sweet and fuzzy feeling that everyone really wants
and needs right now to have hope moving forward.
But hope is
exactly the issue.
It is easy to have
hope when things are going your way. Yet, having hope when there is constant
conflict and struggle is when you really learn what you are made of. So, Saturn
is at home is Capricorn and the Moon is at home in Cancer but they are
completely opposing each other. Mars is also at home in Scorpio. I know that everyone
deeply desires to be comfortable as those planets are at home and that should
feel positive. But those same planets are in a very hard association with each
other. There is no time to waste. You are going to have to move and you will
not have a choice about that. Emotionally, you are in a huge growth spurt.
This whole period
of time is about relationships because of the Sun and Venus conjunction.
Everyone’s emotions are running at such a high level. And it is sextiling
Neptune. This forces you out of your comfort zone and into what is “right”. You
have a divine self that is going to be loudly yelling at you to do what is
right but you are going to worry about what others think.
You are going to have
to make the hard choices now. And somehow you have to stay open hearted at the
same time. Uranus is stationary in Aries on the first day of the month. That
tells you that you are caught in the emotional grip of needing desperately to
make decisions and yet caring about how others feel and how they perceive you at
the same time. Your identity and what you think you want may bring you to the
place where you want to just feel safe and comfortable.
The North Node is
in Leo and this is asking is for you to follow your own path and your true essence.
That sounds easy but this is aspected in a very difficult way. You don’t
believe that you can have what you want. You don’t feel connected to what you
really are here to do. You are not who you thought you were. You have to accept
who you have become now.
Not the illusion
of what you told yourself you were. There is a seesaw that asks you to not be
so politically correct and instead be true to that deeper self that is calling
you out. Again, this moment is not about who you wanted to be but who you are
right now.
Will you be able
to hide your truth and cover up who you really are?
Are you trying to
be so higher vibration and spiritual that you are not being real?
If you do that you
will come across as false and out of touch with the world energy that is moving
everything toward a more authentic behavior.
Jan 2, Uranus goes direct. This is a powerful moment because all the
planets are actually going forward not backwards. There is a clear and directed
shift in the energy but it is also a bit like learning how to control a bucking
bronco when it is finally allowed to move. Uranus has a bit of a dramatic way
of shifting directions. So, expect the unexpected. The full force of emotions
that are impacting you personally are going to be in direct conflict with the
true self that is attempting to emerge. Capricorn’s negative side is about
restriction, jail, oppression, etc. The North Node wants freedom. But can you
really handle the responsible of that freedom? It might become crystal clear
that many here in the world actually cannot handle the intense responsibility
that freedom requires. This means, “Anything goes!” So, what you want, is
probably not going to happen. All I can say is be prepared.
From the 2nd
of January forward to the 11th, there is still plenty going on. You
are being asked to look at what you are building. And to look at where are you
overdoing? Notice where your expectations are out of alignment with your truth?
You have a lot of work to do. You will have to make clear and concise choices.
Your feminine side needs to be listened to at this time. Things are not going
to be cut and dried, black or white. There is a doorway through this chaos but
it is about feeling your way through not thinking your way through. There is a
Sun, Venus, Pluto Conjunction happening right here. This creates massive
changes in the world. They are most likely going to be around, relationships,
work, your pet projects, how you work with your money, and what you wish for in
the area of new opportunities. And, there is a huge death of your old self, because
many things that your ego identified with are going to dissolve away. There are
changes that have to happen. And they will begin around the 6th-9th.
I know that so many of you feel as if you cannot take much more but the
universe does not really care or pay attention to what you want but what needs
to happen to serve the greater good. This brings about a shift of your
spiritual self in connection to the real world. How you relate to others going
forward is also going to be dramatic.
Jan 11 Mercury enters Capricorn. Mercury is finally out of its Shadow period
and there is a stellium in Capricorn. This brings even more earth energy into
your world. I expect to see volcanos going off and earthquakes happening in the
world. You have to be very strong under such force of earth. When you think you
cannot keep going, you going to have to regardless of what you think or feel. “The
show must go on!” Nobody wants to navigate such emotional heaviness but you
have to keep on … keeping on. Only those most determined will move through this
time successfully. You are putting a lot of energy into building something that
will stand the test of time. That is always hard work. You are building your
own pyramid and it is going to require your effort in a demanding sort of way
and it will require a level of personal commitment that is more than you have ever
been asked to give before. You are at a crossroad in your life. This is
happening at the center point of a Capricorn world. Something serious will be
happening. The Moon is in Sagittarius and is in Detriment. Don’t expect to be
happy right there.
Jan 15 Jupiter sextile Pluto. Last year you had to keep faith in a
possibility in your mind. But now you are being asked to let something go and
walk through a doorway to another reality. There is a type of completion
whether you are ready or not. You have to walk away from the karmic patterns
that have previously defined your life and your work. The decisions and choices
are not going to slow down this month. You are going to keep getting hit over
and over again, so be prepared. You have to move. You cannot stand on that
razors edge another minute because it feels (metaphorically) like you will
bleed to death. You are going to notice that your fear has been ruling your
life. And it is finally untenable.
Jan 16 New Moon in Capricorn. Now we have 6 planets in Capricorn. Are you
feeling the density yet? Are you feeling how gravity is forcing you to put your
feet solidly on the ground? And it is sextile with Chiron. There is a healing
that can happen if you are willing to surrender to the situation. The universe
is showing you that you are not in charge. The earth rules and regulations are
in charge of your life and your body. You have lessons that have to be learned
and no manner of negotiating with the universe is going to stop that lesson
from hitting you. The Chiron in Pisces is allowing you to see where you feel
guilty in doing what you need to do for yourself and to make yourself a
priority. There is no need to feel guilty. You cannot take everyone on your
path. They have their own lessons they need to learn. Align with those that are
walking a similar path to you. Let those that need other karmic lessons go.
Jan 17 Venus enters Aquarius. And the Moon goes into Aquarius over a 24-hour
period. A lot of the heaviness begins to lift off. Venus prefers Aquarius, as
it is more social and friendly. It brings crazy fun people and situations into
your life. And the Sun will go into Aquarius on the 19th. There is a new way
you want to relate to people and a very different kind of people will choose to
come into your sphere. We begin to drop much of the Capricorn energy. Mercury
will conjunct Pluto and it will bring some fresh energy and answers around the
24th of January. This is the turning point for the month of January.
Don’t expect me to say that we are out of the woods but we are at least getting
a moment to breath and have a lighter disposition. The rest of the month is
fairly unremarkable with a few energetic shifts. The Lunar Eclipse in Leo comes
close to the degree of the eclipse in August of last year so you might get a
karmic redo or sorts.
Jan 26 Mars enters Sagittarius. Fire Planet with a Fire Sign. The question
is, “Are you ready! Are you willing to just go forward?” It will hopefully be a
(much needed) force of good.
Jan 31 Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in
Leo. It is a big day and a
feeling that there is a doorway to receive the energetic reward for following
your own path. It forces a bit of reflection and a looking back at what you
feel is really your path and most important to you.
Jan 31, Mercury enters Aquarius giving again, even more energy to this new
direction you have chosen to embark upon. Let the wave of change continue to
move you effortlessly forward. Resistance is futile.
Saturn in Capricorn and how it relates to
each sign through 2020
Aries has Saturn in the 10th
House. Saturn likes the 10th
house and so your career and your destiny are placing you in the position to
mature and it requires you to follow through all tasks at hand. And Yes, I know
that is your weakness. Your self-worth will only improve if you stay focused and
do not let yourself get distracted. If what you have created is too much of a
fabrication and fantasy that your ego was feeding you, then you will fail
miserably in this area. You have to see and do what is achievable. Do not take
on things that seem impossible. Saturn here is practical and down to earth. Do
what can really be done and make sure the structure is there to support what
you wish to accomplish. You have to plan for your future. And this process is
essential for your future success or failure. If you don’t have the finances
you will not be able to get to your goal. So get the money aspect of your life
together.
Taurus has Saturn in the 9th
House. Saturn here is helping
you notice if your spiritual practices are grounded in the reality and not
pushing you further into La-La Land. You have felt lost for a while. But now
you have to expand (which is not what a fixed sign likes to do) no matter what.
You have been hiding in your own darkness. You have not been willing to show
who you really are. There is a real you that is coming out and breaking the
shell of your old beliefs. You wanted the world to be one way when now it is
clear that you were duped and you don’t know how to relate to this new world
that is not fitting your picture. I know it is a shock to your system. You can’t
hide behind your status and money. You have to show who you really are and your
spiritual self is dying to learn something new. You are more than what you have
shown the world. Your fear was in being rejected but you have to believe in
yourself more than what will make others comfortable. If you do not believe in
something you will have to speak up and show the truth of who you are.
Gemini has Saturn in the 8th
House. Saturn is in the
house of Sex, Death, Commitments, and other people’s money. There are big
endings happening. You have to find what you are willing to commit to. And you
have to let go of things that are not getting you where you want to be.
Learning about sex, sexuality, seduction, etc. Then, you will find that you can
magnetize and attract more to your life. The lesson is really about how you are
going to do that. I would suggest Tantra Classes, classes on Masculine and Feminine
typologies, and Personal Growth workshops etc.
Cancer has Saturn in the 7th
House. This is the house
of relationships, partnership, cooperation, contracts and paperwork. For the
next 2 and a half years it is in your opposite house. You have to find the
balance and what will legally work. Who you connect with is who you will become.
Does this bring harmony to your life? Cultivating that harmony at all costs is
what will help you move forward peacefully. Notice where you are uncomfortable.
Is it your choices that are making it so chaotic? Your choices in work, business,
love, and relationships show you a mirror to your next place of healing. Are you
becoming what another wants you to become or are you going to align with your
deepest purpose? That is the big question.
Leo has Saturn in the 6th House. This puts the structure and focus on your
health, work, your service to the world, and how you analyze where you are at
when you are responding to a crisis. Saturn in Capricorn is really a “party
pooper” for Leos. This is about rearranging your daily schedule and focusing on
the reality. It means that there is a big door for you to manifest. There
should be help with business and success that is coming your way as you finally
stop over doing and learn how to trust in the Universe. Neptune is in your 8th
house. It is about work and more work. If you love your work, then go for it.
If you hate something, you are going to be super miserable. You have to look honestly
at where you have too much stress. If there is going to be a lot of overdoing
just remember that you cannot go for things that harm your health. Meditation
needs to be your middle name. Create a schedule that you can maintain and be busy
in a consistent sort of way. Learn to let others help you. You are not alone.
Virgo has Saturn in the 5th
House. Saturn is in your
House of Children. It is the best house for you to learn self-love and create
an opening for your own talents. You will be a probably bliss bunny. But can
you really be there and stay there? You give so much away but now it is
supposed to teach you how to give it to yourself. You live your life through
your relationships often. But now it is about what serves you. If your life is
like a fantasy then enjoy it and allow it to be that. You might have to have a
structure to maintain that and you will have to work for it a bit. But it is
time to live a life about expanding and being happy.
Libra has Saturn in the 4th
House. This is the House
of home, karma. It is also going to square your sun. You might finally feel
like you have a solid foundation upon which to build. You might feel like you
have finally gotten your emotions and your family situations in balance. The
question to ask is, “Is your lifestyle good for your health and longevity. If you
are drinking too much, using too many drugs, etc. You are going to have to make
the hard correction and surround yourself with people that support a more
healthy you. You will see that some hidden issues need to be addressed during
this cycle. You need to reconnect to your spiritual self. You have to admit if
you are really doing the work to spiritually evolve or not.
Scorpio has Saturn in the 3rd
House. This is all about
grounding you into a more real way that you need to communicate with your
friends, family, and the world. Your intellect needs to stretch into a more
consistent pattern rather than constantly seeking escapist ways to feel
connected. Your grounding cord is forcing you to address how you think. Your
entire way of seeing the world and your way of connecting is going through an
adjustment. You need an environment that really works. You have been scattered and
taste testing ways and means to expressing your intellect. But now you have to
really stop fragmenting yourself with too much information and decide from a
more stable place what is really going to work. What is not real is going to
have to leave your psyche. Know that this is the house where there are neighbor
problems, complaints, and complications with people disliking how you are and
how you are communicating. You probably will be moving under this aspect. You
have to decide if you are in the right place. Expect mental health issues seem to
become paramount. You cannot keep doing what you have been doing. What are you
doing that is contributing to this fragmentation? Only you can change it.
Sagittarius has Saturn in the 2nd
House. This is the House
of Money, Values, Possessions, Self-Esteem, and your Hidden Talents. This has
finally broken down to a simple equation of money and how you value yourself
through money. What do you prefer to spend your time on? If you don’t have
money it is going to be a miserable two and a half years. Are you using money
in a way that shows your real values or are you using your money to prove to yourself
that you are okay. Your family and home life are all connected to your money
right now. Uranus is coming into Taurus is forcing you to deal with your schedule
because of your health. If you are spread too thin you are going to have to
stop and enjoy your life.
Capricorn has Saturn in the 1st
House. It is all about
your physical body and paying attention to yourself and dealing with your early
childhood issues and how those are still impacting you. Your persona, your ego,
your wants and needs are all going through a shift in direction. You are going
to notice that you have been hiding and feeling bad about doing the schedule
the way you need to do it. You might be feeling that you are aging. You might
want to start a new exercise program. Your mind and self-doubt is getting in the
way. It finally becomes ridiculous, even to you. You need to have fun. You have
to get out of the cage. You need to let go and have some opportunities to let
yourself out. You are going to have to push through the obstacles that present
in your life. It is not about anyone else. It is no one else’s fault. It is
about how you get in your own way. Follow the plan that the Universe laid out
when you were born. Some of the emotional heaviness is going to lift as Uranus
leaves Aries May-Oct 2018.
Aquarius has Saturn in the 12th
House. This is the House
of Hidden Karma. This is the House of Death, Frustration, and where you undo
your deepest self. It is forcing you to look at the places in your unconscious
that need to be more grounded and real. This is the house of music and art. You
have to unravel the places that are running your life in ways that are really
not working any longer. There is a tendency to fall into doors such as peak
experiences to shift yourself and see your own self-delusion. So, some may use
drugs and spiritual experiences to expand you beyond this limited self that you
are now really sick and tired of. You have a doorway to speak out and be seen
in the world. It is time for you to own what you know deep down in your core.
You are preparing for a new world that is opening in 2024 when Pluto goes into
Aquarius. You have to find that connection spiritually that brings in a more
humanly connection and compassionate self.
Pisces has Saturn in the 11th
House. Saturn here excites
people, luck, and things coming together. What do you really wish for? What will
bring you the freedom you are seeking. There is liberty when you allow more
people into your life. You need to gather people together. You need to really
own of who you want to be. You are now noticing how you did not want to really
put yourself out there in the way that the universe is asking. You have to step
out and be seen. You have to show that you have an understanding and a
comprehension as to what is happening in the world. You have to allow those
shocking things to happen. Stop controlling your reality so tightly.
