New Moon prt 2 : Fear, Fate and Flexibility

The effects from the Sun and Moon conjunct (together) yesterday in the sign of Capricorn are still rippling out in ever widening circles of energy. This particular  New Moon is a powerful time to plant seeds of intention for the coming year; success is considered more likely overall when you begin new projects and initiate ideas during a New Moon phase, and this is the first one of 2018.


In my previous post - I wrote about how the Saturn in Capricorn energy was combining with Jupiter Mars to  help us ‘Get er Done’.  With six planets in the sign of the Goat- action and goal setting has been on the main focus. The stress is on the importance of  laying firm foundations - one brick at a time - with a focus on accountability, responsibility, and discipline.  Wherever the late degrees of Capricorn fall in your chart will show you the area that requires focused intention and planning (see tab at top of webpage labelled 'Houses')

It's time to put your house in order.



Thing is - in the midst of all these wonderful and serious intentions -  an element of surprise could suddenly interject new elements into our best laid plans.  Suddenly changes (Uranus) could force us to make choices we hadn't anticipated. There's a caution now to remain flexible and to not be so rigidly attached to outcomes.   Anything is possible at this time- as long as you allow for the unexpected.

“Fate comes when it will - and thus we are ready!” I Ching

Remember the famous Uranus - Pluto square that has been shaking things up now for years? Yup - the one that says whatever is not nailed down on the table - will be shaken off. This is its last activation  and a whole lot a' shakin' is still going on. 

The Capricorn tendency is to try and stay in  control. Yet -  despite all the admonitions to get focused etc (still valid BTW) - we will also need to remain flexible at the same time.  New vistas are opening up to be explored, and we will need both flexibility and determination to get to the top of our personal mountain.



If you are still grieving your losses (via Sun Pluto Venus) it may seem an impossible task to stay focused on the job at hand, especially with the ground shaking under your feet.  Feeling like we are  losing control can trigger a crisis of faith,  especially if we are having  to face something we had been avoiding (Neptune).

Ever heard that saying - 'Face your Fear and do it anyway'?  Yeah- that one. Hang in there. A new day is dawning. Everything right now  is trying to wake us up to our higher potential - its obvious that we cant keep doing the same old stuff in the same old way. For some - a  reckoning is at hand as Saturn brings down the hammer of karmic justice. 

“The merciless, searing judgement of Lightning fulfils the warning prophecies of distant Thunder.
Sage rulers preserved Justice by clearly defining the laws, and by delivering the penalties decreed.

Though unpleasant, it is best to let justice have its due.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

A terrible reckoning is due.
A wrong will be righted -- and even if it has been you who has been wronged, you will tremble at the terrible power of Justice untempered by Mercy.
Pray for your oppressor, that his punishment will fit his crime.” I Ching



Ok -  that's a little bit heavy. But then again - Saturn is heavy. We will see over the coming months what bearing it all has on current events.

For most of us average folks - our punishment is self inflicted. There's a sense here of - on the one hand - facing ourselves - and at the same time - healing from self-inflicted wounds. Forgiveness is there for anyone seeking redemption (Neptune). Sorry this is starting to sound evangelical; the point is - we can now raise our vibration and our vision - to see our way out of the mess we are in.

Make a commitment to something. Start with yourself - then to each other  - then the world.


This New Moon holds a visionary capacity; Uranus is the higher mind  (some call it the mind of god). It can  open up new ways of seeing and show us new possibilities. With your feet/roots on the ground (Saturn) and your head/branches in the stars (Uranus) - find your security in  the centre (heart - Leo).


 The  seeds of intention planted at this New Moon will come to a peak  at the Leo Full Moon Eclipse Jan 31st - where the past - will meet the future.

As one door closes - another one opens. Over the next two weeks a portal is open - wherein you can shift a lot of energy and get a lot done.



If you want to.
