Capricorn, January 2010

Your Stars:
Oh, here we go again.  No, I mean that literally.  Here we go…again.  What with Mars, the planet of passion, action and aggression, all stuck up in your business.  And I mean that literally too.  See, both Mercury and Mars are stuck in stall throughout most of this first month of the New Year.  However, unlike Mercury that old Messenger who heads forward and goes direct mid-month, Mars stays still until the beginning of March and he’s doing that in your 8th House of Intimacy (and Other People’s Money too!)  This practically guarantees a return to thoughts of an old love or even a return to a repetitive relationship pattern that you have since broken out of.  Hey I know that you’re longing for more passion and romance in your life right now and that you would even supplant that wish with more creativity if that were the ONLY option, but, it’s not.  What is the opportunity inherent in all this walk down memory lane is potentially a walk in the clouds if you stay the course and keep on keeping on just the way you are.  That’s because these planetary proddings will now also put some pretty attractive propositions in front of you - - both professional and personal while they falsely remind you of what you thought were long lost pleasures.  Did you ever see the movie ‘Moonstruck’?  Okay, now picture me as the Cher character as I stand in front of you and scream, “SNAP OUT OF IT!”  You have grown so much since those ‘old days’!  Don’t lose sight of that fact.  You can do it all now and you can do it all by yourself.  You don’t need the shoulder of that old love or the partnership from that old firm that fired you for nothing more than being brighter than everyone else who still works there.  This is your month to take all those impossible dreams that you’ve put into place and start to turn THOSE projects into reality.  Use these energies and this time to review and revise your plans before forging into your fabulous future very, very soon.  The energies are shifting and the tide is turning and now it’s about YOU as opposed to what anyone or everyone else thinks about you.  Or then thinks about how you can help them make their dreams come true.  Uh huh.  It’s your turn.  In fact fresh potential and perspective arrive as early as the 4th when the Sun joins retrograding Mercury to make you oh so charming and convincing.  And it’s that charisma and charm that could be just the ticket when you get an opportunity to state your case on the 5th.  Believe me, stating your case will be a whole lot better than packing one in order to return to the past.  And you want romance?  Well, you got it… especially when the Sun and Venus and the North Node of that God of Marriage in the Moon all join in your sun sign so they can steer you towards the person who could well be the one great love of your life.  On the 18th and 19th you attract interest like honey attracts flies. And all these new attractions and types are different than the old kind; they’re reliable and responsible and they actually respect you.  I know, I know, it sure is about time eh?  Just be careful not to over commit or promise too much and don’t take any BS from anyone else who does.  It’s time to be open and adult about this whole relationship thing and heal from the past.  Then close those doors.  There are tons and tons of new ones just waiting for you to slip a shoe through right before you kick them wide!  Outmoded expectations go the way of the Model T this month and unexpected rewards take their place especially when the Sun makes a supportive sextile with Uranus on the 13th just before Mercury goes direct and the New Moon eclipse in your sun sign shines on the 15th.  Be open to every opportunity and willing to listen to different kinds of experiences and explorations.  You will need to relax and release a bit of that OCD style energy that keeps you so in control all of the other time though in order to get the best out of these very potential laden situations.  I am so happy to share that this New Moon eclipse actually begins to carve a new pathway to fulfillment, happiness and personal joy for you that will last throughout the whole of 2010 while possibly taking just that long to manifest as well.  But manifest it will, you can be sure of that.  However, unlike the Roman god Janus who this month is named for, you’ll need to focus on the future only and never look back behind you in order to move on.  Who likes a two face anyway?  By the time Venus enters your 2nd House of Earned Income on the 18th, money matters will only serve to broaden your impetus and your ignition of the forward moving energies swirling all around you.  Get ready, get set, and, then, once the crap Full Moon rises on the 30th, GO!  Go Capricorn Go!  Let go of the past.  Do you year me?  Have I said it enough?  There are really great things waiting for you in the future.  What’s done is done.  Bless it and leave it alone.  The power you have shouldn’t be wasted in futile struggles. It should be all out there for the rest of us to admire and learn from.  Get clear about what it is exactly that you want from here on out.  Then get ready.  And set.  And GO!

Your Shui:
Forget all about that nice old man in the red fat suit.  He was a little short on his shrift anyway.  That said, if there were ever a time for making a list and checking it THRICE this is it!  In red pen, write down NINE of your most dearly held hopes or wishes or dreams.  Now, each and every day, read that list out loud; the first time you read it as soon as you wake up in the morning.  Then read it aloud again at noon.  The last time you read this list is right before you retire the night.  THINK ABOUT YOUR WISH LIST and NOTHING ELSE while you drop off to sleep.  Three times each day, first thing in the morning, then again at noon and the last thing at night.  For twenty seven days.  And, when you’re not reading that list you should be talking to your Higher Power about helping make it happen for you.  But that’s the ONLY other person who should be in on this deal.  Insecure and childish people tend to only slow the process before bringing it to a complete and total halt.  Rather, keep this one to yourself.  Or should I say, keep these nine to yourself.  Soon enough the whole world will see the results of your efforts anyway.  You can wait right?  Riiiight?  Yeah, that’s what I thought.  Sweet dreams Capricorn, it all starts now.
