“Lucid Dream” by Osman Taner Küçükgenç

Whatever you start this weekend will have a solid foundation. It will be a solid decision that will be difficult to reverse, so choose carefully. There’s nothing as sturdy, stable and nimble as Capricorn! Today we have the Sun and Moon joining up with Pluto in Capricorn, and about to cross paths with Retrograde Mercury.

We’re looking at the foundations of our lives to see if they can be relied on. If they can’t, we need to restructure things until we’re living in a dependable situation. It’s as simple as that. This is the first step towards creating the life we want in 2016.

Between now and February 2nd (Candlemas), we are in a phase of research and planning, and it starts today. Wherever the Sun, Moon, Pluto conjunction falls in your chart is the area that’s up for rebuilding. Remember Capricorn is about mastery and control, and we all need to feel we’re doing our best in the area highlighted. If you want to explore this in depth with a reading, send me an email!

The wheel of the year has turned and we are officially in Winter and Capricorn season. The Capricorn goat knows how to survive harsh conditions and pick it’s way over an impassable landscape. It’s a season of miracles. The seed of the Sun has been planted in the time of greatest darkness, and will start to grow in daylight hours. Such a beautiful time of year. I love all the ancient traditions of light in the darkness. You can see it on our city streets today.

Capricorn represents ambition, self mastery and hard work. It’s ruled by the planet Saturn which teaches us responsibility and maturity – and that we will reap what we sow. I think these are great themes to keep in mind when setting intentions for the coming year. I don’t believe in New Year’s resolutions, but I do believe in working hard towards what fulfills us and makes us happy.

We had a wonderful Grand Earth trine this week too! The Moon in Taurus (exalted!) enhanced by Jupiter in Virgo, and made real by Pluto (and Mercury) in Capricorn (evolution). This gives a grounded, positive boost to anything we begin this week!

Have a wonderful holiday!
