The Moon is gathering momentum in speed through the sign of Capricorn and placing focus on communication skills and the spread of the message to the widest audience possible. The task may be related to professional responsibilities that include writing, communication, travel, lecturing and teaching. Intellectual abilities may link to a talent in mathematics, physical sciences or other areas of expertise where logic and disciplined thinking is required.
There’s an innate awareness that the more you know, the greater the possibility for quick advancement and the belief that action speaks louder than words. The ability to arrive at innovative yet practical solutions to professional problems can further career and bring recognition, especially for those who combine adaptability, decisiveness and perseverance. Naturally, it’s also a period of political activism and those with strong political ideas may seek to lead others into action. The events of this cycle will include Capricorn persons (sun, moon and rising sign) and those with significant emphasis on Libra in the natal chart.
Jupiter prompts opportunities that come to you through your one-to-one encounters, and you can form beneficial relationships or improve existing ones at this time. This planet is now linked with the asteroid Knight which may suggest a special mission or those who have come to save the day. People who can assist you in various ways will naturally come to your aid to support you both materially and otherwise. Assistance may arrive without asking, but you can also make specific requests for what you need. In some cases, you may benefit directly or indirectly from persons you’re close to or benefits your partner receives may be shared with you in some form.
Still, the Moon is not at her best in the sign of her detriment, and in this cycle you can be prone to martyrdom applying an indefatigable effort toward scaling the heights of success. Despite obstacle, you feel dauntless and inspired to try and try again to achieve the objective. Ruthless progress is made or all will directed activity meets with complete resistance as governed by circumstance.
A central focus is likely to be maximum efficiency and organizing your daily routine with respect to managing your life, responsibilities and duties. The desire is to find new and better ideas about how to increase productivity. If successful, you’ll master the task of what works and what doesn’t, and may decide to try new methods or techniques in your work or reorganize your office operations.
On the other hand, perhaps you’re in a period of transition between jobs; finishing up an old job, business or career or moving toward self-employment or a new professional endeavor. But for those lacking purpose or direction, coping with everyday life can be a challenge due to problems concentrating on details or difficulty getting started in work you find unfulfilling. In some cases, you may have misunderstandings with coworkers or employers or experience issues related to unemployment.
If satisfied with your current position, you may be struggling with new procedures or unstable job situations. Your responsibilities may not be clearly defined or there may be rumors regarding layoffs, mergers, relocation or shift changes. If you own a business you may be considering a buy-out, merger, partnership or stock option. Perhaps you’re working on a project whose outcome is not yet determined or a risk that may or may not yield results.
For some, this period brings concerns of a legal nature surrounding relationships and business partnerships. Misunderstandings that impact your employment can occur with others and it will be difficult to make solid business plans until certain issues are settled. However, the path to advancement might be blocked by someone who refuses to directly confront you and whom you may not be aware is acting against you.
In some cases, the conflict may be regarding money and possessions prompted by the refusal to share expenses or funds. Juno in opposition to Mars may reflect a relationship dynamic of score-keeping and a tally of cost (figuratively and literally) in concern for equality and rights. But this can also provoke revenge making compromise difficult. The vertex axis is at critical degree in the resource houses indicating a fated event that may link to the end of a life cycle and situations that hold sorrow. The concerns connect to a financial responsibility left from someone who has passed that may be too much to deal with, the end of probate, an excessive tax burden or inheritance issues that are problematic. This can trigger debt or the end of a monetary cycle–either filing bankruptcy, or finally pulling out of debt. This could also signify the end of a cycle involving real estate.
Open confrontation can pull you into extensive discussions or lengthy negotiations which require you to explain or even argue your position, especially if you’re working on a major project or an issue that needs to be handled. You may also decide to participate in group encounters that provide intellectual stimulation and the benefit of group effort. However, with Mercury moving backwards, matters will not be easily finalized and will require much communication to reach completion.
Serious situations may involve separation and/or divorce and legal battles. Disputes suggest this is a good time to clarify issues and negotiation or counseling may be necessary to improve or restore your relationship. In fact, this is an excellent time to consult or seek the advice of a professional or authority in a problem area. This can be consultation with a lawyer, doctor, counselor or expert in a particular field of interest. Their insights may offer you knowledge that can be used to make progress, and it may be best to allow this person to handle certain matters for you while you oversee the decisions being made.
However, you should avoid dependency on the decision-making ability of others. A lack of conviction in your own mental confidence allows others to dominate you with their opinions, but it’s your responsibility to evaluate information and make your own decisions. Venus in Pisces makes you all the more susceptible to influence and prone to attracting situations where you must learn to better estimate others in order to receive equal measure in return. Be aware that you can be lied to during this period and the information you receive may not be accurate or helpful. Certain situations may indicate that caution is warranted, and indeed, advantageous to consciously direct the flow of your expression with the awareness of the intentions of others.
Alternatively, you may demand to be yourself and openly express who you are. This feeling of increased self assurance can manifest through creative endeavors and/or relationships. If creative, this is a time of original ideas and innovation in technique that brings benefit through new styles or genres in your work. You may be exceptionally skilled, but need to diversify this talent. Perhaps you’re gaining confidence in your abilities while trying something new and this can be very productive, encouraging and creative. As you explore new areas of expertise, you’ll take license with your creations, products or designs. You may love working with and owning beautiful things or work in a profession that deals with the arts or beauty.
However, you may find it difficult to muster the discipline needed for tasks you consider unappealing. You may feel emotionally and creatively inhibited by present circumstances or be highly self-critical or harbor fears about criticism from others. If working on long-term or difficult projects, the creative process may be under greater control with the anticipation that the quality of future tasks will be much higher than the initial start up. You may need to work in a more organized or efficient manner, especially if the need is to meet deadlines or large demands. If the output of your project is not consistent with your ideal, you may seek to refine it and this will become labored and tedious in your quest for perfection. Although you may experience blockage in this process, ultimately the goal is a better end result, and you’re willing to put in the extra effort knowing that you’ll need to be consistent and practical in the future and that poor preparation can limit your success.
On a more personal note, a Venus sitting in exaltation is setting up scenarios that offer the potential for fun and entertainment. You’re very attractive to others and this period may ignite the start of a love affair or romantic involvement. If so, Mars is also present assuring that the connection will be very exciting and based on strong sexual attraction. Your relationship choices may be propelled by the desire and passion you feel for the person you’re seeing and this passion may play an integral role in the romance. In fact, issues of sexual freedom or preference may be important or drive your choice to experiment with new techniques or change practices you no longer enjoy or benefit from. As a result, you may have a new sexual relationship that is quite different from past experience. Established relationships can also benefit as well and a good marriage or alliance becomes better. If you’ve had difficulties with your relationship in the past, you may be able to resolve your differences through cooperation.
Unfortunately, conflict and temper can also emerge as you struggle with the desire for union and the need for freedom or because of other complications in your life–a long distance relationship, May-December romances, extra-marital affairs, or relationships that involve a great deal of separation. Love affairs can be difficult if you have residual fears from past involvements or the person you’re involved with has previous commitments. An overwhelming emphasis on the needs of your partner requires that you give up a lot in order for your partner to gain, and what is asked of you may be inconsistent with your own needs for fulfillment. Perhaps you’ve changed your social circle and no longer feel comfortable, especially if you’re in an unfriendly environment. Situations may cause you to feel uneasy with yourself in some way–for instance, dating someone younger and adjusting to pushing certain boundaries. You may have on-again, off-again encounters, brief exchanges or experiences that lack satisfaction.
Conflict in the home and with family members take place when others don’t want the same home environment you envision. If you allow yourself to become emotionally controlled by manipulative tactics, then you’re physically controlled as well in your efforts to create the home life you desire. Repetitive issues, unfulfilling emotional interchanges and the inability to cope with your home and necessary changes signal the need to reassess your responses. If your journey has been linked with themes of personal struggle, you’ll become aware of the psychological games that rob you of your personal power so that you can better address fear, guilt and negativity that block you from growth and change. Life will seem more crucial, decisions more critical and problems more complicated with you having a vested interest in how everything turns out.
In some cases, you may be moving from one home to another or making major renovations that result in disorientation or upheaval. You may have chosen at this time to make a major change in your home or lifestyle that cannot be made quickly or easily without inconvenience. Variations on this theme can mean the redecoration of a newly purchased home or unforeseen problems requiring repair. If this is not the case, transitions are still set to occur within your domestic situation that may be attributed to a change in living arrangements that require psychological adjustment.
Where children are concerned, the relationship can either improve or become more difficult. In the positive, they become more adaptive to situations and you become better at parenting through increased understanding. In the negative, their desire for greater independence or your disapproval of their choices creates situations that test your patience through disobedience and argumentative behavior. If your children are adults, they may still need your assistance in some way.
There is also an emphasis on well-being and the need to be especially careful of your health now. Illnesses and disease will be more difficult to diagnose, and health providers may be puzzled by your condition and not sure what course of treatment to follow. Symptoms of fatigue, allergies and chronic conditions are likely to affect you and the origin of any illness may not be understood. What is known is that emotional upheaval and stress are prone to affect you physically and exacerbate any existing illness. Because of this, you’re inclined to look at your body and its functioning in order to make improvements, and may seek out information or make changes regarding diet, exercise and health practices.
The focus on physicality might also relate to the sports person and the loss of fitness and skills if not maintained or the impact of growing older and that influence on sporting success or short-lived glory.
The current Saturn/Mars combo can bring tests of strength, disputes, separation and illness. A sometimes harmful and destructive energy, it can inhibit or destroy vitality. Extremely rare is the possibility for an unexpected death through unusual circumstances, but the more likely probability is being acquainted with someone who’s facing a life-threatening illness. The Part of Sickness is prominent in a sector of the chart that indicates confinement. It can signify the weakness before recovery from an illness, and thus the painful beginning of a healing process. His/her situation will cause you to consider your own mortality and the reason for your existence, but a water trine provides the strength to face tremendous emotional challenge.
Circumstances that are inherently at odds with your needs and ill-suited to your personality won’t last. You’re compelled to examine your situation closely and must be willing to break free from the past or an untenable position in order to create a space for new beginnings.
The key word for this cycle is guardianship defined as the legal process of conservatorship when a person can no longer make or communicate safe or sound decisions or has become susceptible to fraud or undue influence. It may also apply to the management of a child’s money or property if the parent is unable to care for them. Perhaps these are issues that arise or become a source of conflict during this cycle. However, it also refers to protection from the divine for those who operate on a higher vibration without regard to worldly condition.
