On Saturday, Jupiter joins with the Sun for the very first time (in 12
years) in the sign of Capricorn. Okay so you know Jupiter could contain the Earth and all the planets in our solar system…and the Sun is the King! Or is Jupiter King? Some astronomers say Jupiter was once King of his own solar system, as he emits heat from his own internal radiator. These two Kings aren’t competitive, they’re naturally expansive – they amp up our visions for what’s possible in the year to come. In Capricorn, our deepest ambitions swirl around in our heads. Ever wondered how to move mountains with the power of an intention? That’s Jupiter in Capricorn. Hope is on the horizon, the future looks promising. But a promise remains a promise, and a vision remains a vision without the careful planning and persistent diligence of Capricorn. Still it all feels too good right now to worry about doing the homework…so enjoy. Watch a few “lucky” people advance and collect $200!

“Io, Saturnalia!” (“Praise, Saturn!”) 
As the Sun increases in light (promise) we draw on our faith that during times of darkness, there will be light again. Faith cultivation is important to Capricorn, the sign who so needs proof, but often doesn’t have any (hello? where’s that Sunshine you promised?) That’s why Capricorns are so darn tenacious, they were born during the darkness so must work harder to bring things to fruition. Candles are popular around this time, but they’re also symbolic – we can light a candle in the darkness to ignite our purposeful flame of spiritual intention.

Do you feel the difference a little earth makes? By this time next week, 5
luminaries will be in Earth signs! And it all shows in our attitude, our speech and our perceptions – Mercury functions. If the world just seems different that’s because it is; the issues we’re focusing on become more real and relevant to our immediate surroundings. It’s easier to be skeptical of anything outrageous or abstract when Mercury’s in Capricorn, as this sign digs reliable proof. We’re also more likely, especially in conversation, to do the Saturn thing – keep opinions and perceptions we’re uncomfortable with at arms length (Saturn is the boundaried planet). We know our mind, and our mind and opinions, and they suit us quite well, thanks. Meanwhile, the declarations we do make to the world, reach the world. Read more

Saturn in Virgo needs a day off. Okay, maybe a few months – till May.
Hey, Saturn deserves it, we deserve it. We’ve been working so hard, honing our craft, putting all the details in order, making that list, checking it twice…It’s the first Saturn in Virgo retrograde, so we could all use some time to sync up with the projects and ambitions undertaken since September. If we’ve been “nose to the grindstone” maybe during this period we can begin to use the big picture energy of Jupiter in Capricorn to enlighten our vision. Read more

And for the best news of all, the Cosmic Santa Claus enters Capricorn this week! Everyone loves Jupiter, and why not? He always delivers gifts, BIG ONES. Jupiter is the biggest planet in the solar system, larger than the Sun, large enough to contain all the planets in the solar system within his own! No one will get a lump of coal this Christmas, for everyone receives a big gift from Jupiter. As Jupiter transits one of the 12 sectors of your chart for the next year, an area of your life will light up with his boisterous, fun, expansive energy. This hasn’t happened in 12 years (think back to 12 years ago to determine what this gift might be). Twelve years ago I took my first big trip away from home, to California, where I eventually settled. Today I write you, almost at the end of my 2 month stay in Europe, my second biggest trip away from home. I’m telling you Jupiter’s gifts are generous! Read more

Those karmic nodes, the instigators of life destiny, karmic ripening and helpful meetings shift into the signs of Leo/Aquarius this week. Now, they’ve been in Virgo/Pisces for the past 18 months, so the Virgoans and Pisceans among us can now take a bow – the rollercoaster year and a half eclipse cycle is over for you (this was extra tumultuous because your eclipses almost always involved Shock Jock Uranus in Pisces). Now Leos and Aquarians assume the spotlight.
