The Sun begins its efficient transit through the steady, MOST FABULOUS, WONDERFUL, HONORABLE, CHERISHED, HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE, EFFICIENT... IN OTHER WORDS - NUMERO UNO BABY - SIGN OF THE ZODIAC - CAPRICORN, today, December 21st, at 11:49 PM EST!!! ... ok, so this happens to be my birth sign, BUT ... once again, WHO'S doing the blogging here - un-huh ??? ... I believe that allows me to embellish ever so slightly and I think my fellow Cappies would most heartily agree even though we can often be quite reserved !!! ... Old man winter has come to call, however for those in the Southern hemisphere Summer has begun and the heat is on ... the light hearted, fun loving fiery energy of Sagittarius is now replaced with the slower earth bound energy dedicated to manifesting ones ambition into reality !!! ... we now turn our attention to focus on practical matters and attempt to go into the New Year ready to be productive and successful !!!
Capricorn
is the 10th sign of the natural zodiac and represents the beginning of the
Winter season ... with the Sun in Capricorn we need to 'shine' through
responsibility, in a traditional manner, in seeking attention through authority
or authorities, and in our public image and/or careers ...
Capricorns
glyph is the Sea Goat - the ancient symbol used to represent the sign ... the
glyph shows the V-shaped beard of the Goat and the curved tail of the Fish ...
the glyph is two straight lines that meet and are connected to a circle and a
crescent ... this represents the melding of authority and responsibility that is
made stronger through energy and passion ... the Goat's steps are slow and sure
as they take their time to make sure they get where they are going ... the
hooves representing the fact that they attain their goal through using
surefooted solid steps ...
Capricorns
quality is cardinal - meaning beginnings ... its element is earth making it a
sign a little slower to move ... its energy is feminine - nurturing and passive
... its key phrase is 'I Use' and keyword is 'Ambition' ... anatomically
Capricorn rules the bones, joints and knees - but, also due to its association
with Saturn, rules the skin, the skeletal system (including teeth), left ear and
auditory organs ...
The
planetary ruler of Capricorn is Saturn - the teacher, the taskmaster, the
disciplinarian ... Saturn rules form, responsibility, organization, ambition,
capacity for a career, limitations and delays ... Saturn also governs theories
and scientific law, older persons, depth, patience, timing, tradition,
conventionality, orthodoxy, and productive use of time ... it represents the
principles of truth, of contraction, or solidification of wisdom and of aging
... Saturn's action is slow and lasting ... if you have had a natal chart done
and know in which house Saturn is located, then you know where you best focus
and assume responsibility, or where you may feel least secure and tend to
overcompensate!!!
Capricorn
is the natural ruler of the 10th house of the zodiac ... this is a house of
substance whose keyword is 'Honor'... this house shows your profession, your
reputation, and your standing in the community ... it indicates your ego,
status, fame, promotion, ambition, business and social activities, your
employer, the government or any other authority over you ... it shows your
achievements, how the world sees and evaluates you, and the influence you may
exert in your own circle ... here we see the Church as an organization, and the
opposite parent represented by your natal 4th house ... the parent who becomes
the wage earner or authoritarian moves into this 10th house when you are able
to distinguish between the two and no
longer view them as one unit ... a footnote - if you are raised in a single
parent home, then that parent is represented by both the 4th and the 10th houses
..
The
energy we experience with the Sun in Capricorn is teaching us to learn how to
live through what we build upon ... it is concerned with making a success of
life ... one is satisfied here through a sense of purpose and responsibility ...
as this surefooted progression gets one to their intended goal, sometimes the
foothold can be on someone else's feet or head!!! ... this is a very complex sign
and often its energy is perceived as melancholy and stern - but anyone who cares
enough to penetrate through the shell of reserve will be greatly rewarded as
Capricorns affections and loyalty run deep, and it cherishes and protects loved
ones ... it is here for the long haul !!!
The
upper half of the Sea Goat represents the earthy and persistent climber ... but
when the climber stumbles or falls, or simply realizes there is more to life
than can be physically sensed, one begins to acquaint itself with the lower half
being the tail representing the world of the fish - the mystical, irrational and
unconscious inner realm ... when Capricorn gets spiritual it does so with the
same practical efficiency that it deals with the material world ... and
ultimately one comes to the realization how useful an awareness of the reality
of invisible forces ( thoughts, feelings, the imagination) is, and that the
roots and foundations - on which everything is actually built - are usually out
of ones sight ..
Capricorn
is old when it is young and gets younger as it ages ... this is due to Saturn's
rulership of this sign which places great burden and "weight" on young
Capricorns shoulders continually driving one to work, and even when a goal has
been reached Saturn still says one can do even better!!! ... as a child of Saturn,
Capricorn always needs something to improve and perfect ... the energy of the
Sun in Capricorn can be expressed the following ways:
POSITIVE:
materially aware, responsible, efficient, orderly, ambitious, organizer,
industrious, takes the reins, reserved, patient, thoughtful, deep understanding,
resourceful, canny, persevering, disciplined, earthy, senses others' needs,
employs others, solid
NEGATIVE:
status slave, unscrupulous, ingratiating, wet blanket, cold, calculating, slave
to self, dictatorial, inhibited, intolerant, worrisome, inscrutable, tight,
suspicious, rigid, austere, opportunist, uses others, hard
It
has always seemed ironic to me that the Sun would enter the focused, serious
sign of Capricorn only days before what is considered the merriest and most
joyful Holiday of the year!!! ... however, we are constantly reminded by the
Universe that there is a time for everything and anything in excess is usually
not a good thing ... and it is actually helpful to be under this energy as the year comes to a close so that we can seriously reflect on and review where we have been and what we have done this past year, and then start making plans as to what direction we need to be moving in next year to assure that personal and spiritual growth continues ... there is prolific potential to begin some major growth in our lives if we put our shoulder to the grindstone and positively use this determined, hardworking energy ...
The Sun now joins Mercury and Pluto already transiting through the sign of Capricorn - Pluto just about halfway through its complete transit and Mercury about to take it's first retrograde journey for 2016 which will bring it back to the halfway point of Capricorn as it will only reach 1 degree 3 minutes Aquarius before stationing retrograde on January 5th ... with all of this heavy duty energy, we have the potential to bring about great change, transformation and deep healing in our lives as well as others, or we can bring about great ruin and devastation if we are not attuned to the "light" and what it is trying to illuminate in our lives !!!

The
Sun remains in Capricorn until January 20th with 13 days of this solar transit occurring with Mercury retrograde in the same sign from January 8th - January 20th - those celebrating birthdays during this period will get Mercury retrograde in Capricorn energy in their solar return chart for the whole year ahead - be prepared for the teacher/taskmaster to school you somewhere in your life !!!
HAPPY SOLAR RETURN CAPRICORN BORN - it's our time of the year to truly "shine" !!! ... oh
yes, and should you happen to cross the path of a wonderful Capricorn individual, be
sure to give them a GREAT BIG HUG AND A SMILE - you know we Capricorns need all
the hugs and smiles we can get with Saturn often weighing down our souls rather
heavily at times !!!
