As we await the final "big bash" on New Years Eve and wrap up 2012, the Universe is pushing us all to begin thinking about the days that lie ahead in 2013. Today, the Sun joins Pluto, and both planets are in the sign of "Persevering" Capricorn, putting a strong focus on work, finance, business, home-life and security matters.

This transit is enhanced due to the Sun's positive alignment with Saturn in "purging" Scorpio. Contemplative thoughts of what you've done to bring you to where you are right now and what you need to do to move forward may be on your mind. Now is the time to take the gloves off and dig in and get your hands into whatever it is that needs to get accomplished.

The "Creative" Leo Moon's aspect to "Inventive" Uranus in "Fiery" Aries adds spark to any project you embark upon. A plethora of ideas may come your way if you channel your energy properly. A couple of negative planetary aspects today may cause a glitch or two, but nothing that you can't conquest with a positive attitude. The Moon Opposes Mars mid-day and tonight the Moon Squares off Saturn at 9:15 (EST) creating a few rough edges that may require a tedious effort & some extra elbow grease.

Overall, the Sun's aspect to Pluto and Saturn is invigorating you to make change in your life. 

Father Time

However, the safe route is the best journey for now. Small investments are the safest, and small returns mount up.  Any boat you launch now will be hard to rock, even in a storm, so it's a good time to ease it away from the dock and head gradually to sea. The world awaits, but don't rush.
