The Moon is hooked up with the Sun in the responsible, goal-oriented, disciplined & cautious sign of Capricorn. Creating new beginnings around your long term goals. Structuring, Strategically Planning & continuing to Persevere as you slowly but surely move towards your aspirations. We are able to be sensible and logical now about where we need to make improvements or adjustments that support our professional, as well as our personal needs.
There are 5 planets in Capricorn adding extra emphasis to the mix, The Sun & Moon, Mercury, Venus & Pluto. With Capricorn’s ruling planet at the tail end of Scorpio {29 ° degrees}, we are dedicated to creating change that is supportive to our soul’s purpose.
What we find pleasure in now are ambitions that have meaning and depth. We want to create something that serves us in a way that makes sense not only for our financial needs and public image but ALSO for our personal needs and private life. Creating a life that demonstrates what we have learned through this recent process of spiritual evolution and the transformation we have undergone.
We see now what means the most to us and it’s no longer okay to pursue goals that only serve our financial needs or chase after an empty ambitions. We want depth and meaning now. We want to serve. We want to create what is most important to us.
“Yes, survival issues are up now for some people. Money, job, health, life/death…’Can I survive? ‘Will I or this relationship make it?’
“Transforming this into a higher perspective is, ‘What is the main Spiritual insight and purpose of this issue or situation? What am I learning about empowerment and trust? How may I be empowered and understand that this is helping me to outgrow one into another?’ ‘What are the steps to really live and thrive in my life than merely survive it?’ ~Dipali Desai
There may be a tendency to want to avoid commitment now or run away in fear of it. We’d rather stay in a position of authority than feel vulnerable right now or follow anyone else’s rules. Although, our commitments are heavy on our mind we may have a certain kind of rebelliousness around them.
There is a strong urge to move forward and get ahead, pushing for what you want. But, it’s more important to seek compromise instead of thinking that you already know it all. A self-righteous know-it-all attitude will have the exact reverse effect than what you are trying to create. It’s easy to get in conflict with authority figures {most likely men or a father figure} now or anyone who acts like an authority figure towards you. This could leave you itching for freedom from confinement and someone rules.
If you find yourself in a confrontation, step back and realize the situation. Become aware of where you can be more cautious, humble and compromising. Let any aggressive people you encounter teach you something about yourself. Listen and Learn where you can make adjustments within yourself. This will help you step into your own power and become your own Authority.
“The misuse of Capricorn energy can lead to the desire to dominate others, but we will reach our goals if we focus instead on using self-mastery, patience, and emotional control to do so.”
“Over the next few weeks, we may feel ready to begin making one or more major changes in our lives, which will likely involve creating a sense of greater freedom. …big breakthroughs are possible; however, big breakdowns may be needed first. We need to use whatever techniques we have developed to help ourselves feel centered and grounded now….it’s also important to remain flexible because we need to expect the unexpected. However, given the strong Capricorn energy at this time, it is best if we use our power and authority wisely to create order/structure and to gain control so we can get our lives on the track that we want to travel at this time in our lives.”
“During this final degree of Scorpio, there’s intense emotional energy, almost like a laser beam, and it is a good idea to make a conscious decision about where you want to focus this energy to support you in moving forward.”
~Anne Reith
WINTER SOLSTICE
The Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year when the Sun is at its weakest point and is being born again. This represents the birth of the Sun, the source of all creation, being reborn and growing until it reaches its fullest expression and strength at the Summer Solstice in June. This is known as the Universal birth but it is also representative of a personal rebirth of our own inner spiritual Sun, Light. If prepared, we begin to expand from inner darkness to light. Now is time to acknowledge and give first light to that inner fire.
The rising of the sun on the winter solstice, out of the darkest day of the year, echoes the birth of the light from the dark void on the first day of creation. ~Belsebuub & Angela Pritchard 2011
LOVE
Venus {planet of Love} is in the sign of Capricorn and this will add some INTENSITY to your relationship. If there is any unfinished business it will need to be resolved now. If you avoid your issues, they may push forward in unexpected ways. You want it all from your relationship now, connection on ALL levels. If things aren’t meeting your needs, from the emotional to the mental to the physical, you may need to break free and end up and leaving unexpectedly. It would be best to stop and think before making any big decisions.
“The planet of love can either soften the rebellious and transformational forces at work, or it could result in conflicts within our relationships or challenges in our finances.” ~Anne Reith
If single, you want the depth of connection now too and if all of your needs aren’t met, if you don’t feel like you’ve met your ‘soul mate’ you will be more apt to continue on alone.
Yoga: Capricorn is a diligent, methodical and ambitious sign that keeps moving towards the peak of the mountain. No matter how far down, no matter what obstacles, they can see the top and they strive for the prize at the peak of the mountain.
Fierce pose/Chair Pose is a great pose to practice now. No matter how far down you seem to be you will rise back up. Capricorn is connected to the bones and knees and with this pose you are strengthening both.
What to do: Begin with your feet hip width apart. Raise your arms up overhead, keeping the shoulders relaxed and squat down, bending your knees. Make sure the knees stay directly in line with the ankles. Breathe deeply 5-6 breaths. Imagine yourself rising above any obstacles in your path, achieving your goals steadily but surely. Repeat 2 more times.
LESSON
★ Be cautious with what you move forward with now. Make sure you are moving in the direction that meets all of your needs, professionally and personally.
★ Be patient with your decisions and progress
★ Use your strength not to dominate others but to dominate your own life
★ Focus on your goals, make decisions based on whether it supports what you want to achieve
