Saturn left Sagittarius and just started his two and a half year (approximately) transit through Capricorn. A shift for everybody, whether or not you are a Capricorn or have a lot of Capricorn in your chart. Saturn rules Capricorn, so he’s at home there. But that doesn’t mean he’s any less of a task master. We can all expect life lessons and attention being brought to areas of our lives that we may have had in the dark or up on a shelf. A definite shift in the energy. Saturn is an outer planet and he travels slowly…and his presence in a particular sign is noticeable.
The sun also started it’s transit through Capricorn as well. That’s a lot of heavy, earth energy. Stable and grounded, yes. But also…heavy. In a way, it comes at the perfect time every year (as if the universe “knows”) because it’s a good time to set out some practical goals for ourselves. We tend to do this around this time of the year as one year ends and another is about to begin. And it’s not bad energy to work with for goal setting. Capricorn can be a very disciplined, responsible, goal-oriented energy to work with. Call them resolutions or goals or focus points…but it’s a good time to spend some time in quiet and really figure out what we don’t want to carry over into 2018 and what we want to start anew.
And tomorrow Mercury stations direct. So things should start to flow. Or at least feel like they’re flowing. Communication should be better in a very general, broad sense. There’s a “shadow period” where things still aren’t 100% moving forward and that will linger until the first few days or week of January. But things should start to feel better for all of us more and more every day.
And the winter solstice is today as well. The shortest day of the year – the day with the least amount of sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere. And as the saying goes, “as the days lengthen, the cold strengthens.” So colder days…perhaps. But longer days as well. In my mind, a day to celebrate because with every passing day, there’s more sunlight to enjoy.
Starting January 2, 2018 up until about March 8, 2018, all the planets will be going direct. So it’s a wonderful time to GO. To DO. To CREATE and to MAKE and to START. We get a few weeks of this every year. The universe giving us all a big shove telling us to get on with it. Use the Capricorn energy to plan and to set some goals for yourself…and then use those two months to really get things moving.
Be open to what calls you…
