Getting down to business is the general theme over the next few months, as Mars enters the sign of "Self-Disciplined" Capricorn today and remains there until Christmas Day & the overall, the Capricorn energy will be carrying us all into the New Year * and into late January. If work has been an issue, now is the time to get that resume going and spring into action. The Moon joins Mars in Capricorn as well, manifesting the desire for a solid career, social status, and building a nest egg. Fantasy & frivolous partnerships go out the window. Romantic partners, friendships and even colleagues are taken more seriously during this time, as you are looking to surround yourself with grounded & reliable people. Stability, career, social status, and security issues are all what's important. One of the hardest working signs of the zodiac, a Capricorn will stop at nothing to complete building their empire. Capricorn energy is a persistent, ambitious, security-conscious, thrifty and uses a no-nonsense approach in all matters of life. Awakened by the eye-opener lightning bolt shock brought about by several Uranus-Pluto transits beginning last June, the solar eclipse & lunar eclipses', and other planetary influences; everyone got a a reality check and the message came in loud & clear that change is in the wind. Pluto's influence, along with the Sun, Saturn and Mercury, all in the sign of Scorpio helped us dig into our past and go deep into the recesses of our minds, allowing us to discard negative emotional baggage. The energy also allowed us to soul search for the meaning of our lives and discover our mission in life. Now, under this Capricorn influence, you can take your discoveries, and begin to put your plans into practicality, and manifest your soul purpose. If you're still in the process of soul searching, you are in luck. The Sun, Mercury & Saturn are still in Scorpio, and Mercury is in retrograde allowing you to clean out issues from the past & to continue to soul searching. Additionally, this energy puts us all in "critique" mode where we will be analyzing our past and deciphering what needs to stay and what needs to be let go. Bolstering this energy, the Moon partners up with Saturn today allowing us to eliminate chaos & drama, and helping us to put structure and order into our lives. Saturn represents discipline, responsibility and traditional concepts. Any new, original or oddball ideas you have may get thrown out the window - Fast....as the "Conservative" Capricorn Moon form a harsh aspect to "Unconventional" Uranus. Nevertheless, Capricorn energy allows for a consistent & sustained effort that can create a workaholic for some, and may drive other people batty. It's is a good time to explore a career change, put your finances back in order or to take on extra overtime. If you put your nose to the grindstone, now is the time you can begin to pick-up the pieces and get your life back into order. The force of the universe is with you now. Do what's necessary, but don't beat a dead horse just because there are still hours left in the day to do it. Finally, the Moon forms a positive alliance with Pluto, also in the sign of Capricorn, allowing you to make changes in work-related & business ideas or take security measures to ensure a brighter future.
* The Sun joins Mars in Capricorn during the Winter Solstice on December 21rst, just 4 days b4 Christmas, and Mercury joins the Sun in Capricorn on New Year's Eve!
