Aloha and Happy New Year,

Here's the chart for the Capricorn New Moon, which is a Solar Eclipse:

Capricorn:
Capricorn is associated with boundaries, limitation, and responsibility. Where Capricorn is in our chart, we find an area of our life that we take most seriously. Capricorn is a businesslike and focused sign ruled by the planet Saturn. Issues around government, authority and professionalism become emphasized during a Capricorn cycle.

New Moon conjunct Venus; all semi-sextile Neptune:
Practicality and productivity become valued resources. Beauty is appreciated in terms of usefulness. Idealism, empathy and compassion are highlighted.

Mars Rx quindecile Jupiter:
Creative action to expand a field (or fields) of knowledge. The desire for truth and justice is frustrated. Observe loyalty to religious or educational organizations results in rash or risky behavior.

Mercury Stationary (going from Retrograde to Direct) conjunct Pluto, both square Saturn:
"Resistance is futile". Pressure due to obstacles, restrictions, or loss can feel devastating. The Mercury contact brings these feelings to the fore. Expect to hear stories of hardship, anguish and destruction. Although physically and mentally tiring, old patterns can be abandoned and plans made for a new direction.

This is the second of three waning squares between Saturn and Pluto, the effects of which extend through the summer of 2010. The last time this square occurred was from September 1973 through May 1974. If you have personal points or planets between 0 and 3 degrees of any sign, particularly in cardinal or mutable signs, you can expect to experience this energy on a personal level. We recommend reading the Saturn Pluto square series by Donna Cunningham, linked below.

Our advice for this cycle:
Concentrate on building new structures for long-term stability rather than wasting time and energy applying short term patches to the irreparable. Compulsively dwelling on what has been lost will not bring it back. Instead, use the penetrating energy of your thoughts to look within for guidance on how to move forward. Extend yourself to understand and aid those in greater need.

Affirm:
I act with integrity to build a better future for myself and the world.

"Moon 2: Turn it Around" New Moon in Capricorn,January 14th, 2010, 11:11pm PST.

Lunation Overview excerpt from the journal:

“Home” is calling to us...
As the decay of our culture and world structures intensifies, we are being given an incredible opportunity to turn it around and see the seed that is sprouting inside the decay. No longer is focus on the decay necessary — it is irreversible and following the laws of nature. However, the seed sprouting in the decay needs our attention as we enter this cycle so that the life it is extending is acknowledged and supported.

Regarding the annular solar eclipse, according to Cayelin Castell, “This Capricorn New Moon eclipse is accelerating the changes associated with the structures of this reality connected to the Wise Ones... who know how to act in accordance with the laws of this world and live in balance with the Earth... It is imperative we begin to restore and then maintain balance and harmony with the Earth and each other as these eclipse energies accelerate what is unfolding even if no one else around us is joining the effort.”

Please let Jennifer know we referred you.


May you walk your path with integrity,

Sandra & David
