January 2013 - January 2014
I follow
the sidereal calendar; this is the annual solar horoscope for birthdays from 15th
January to 12th February or Capricorn Ascendants and Moons
Happy
New Year Capricorn and happy solar birthday! We’ve all made it through a year
of big changes and transformation with some of the trends continuing in 2013.
Capricorns
have been undergoing a period of change and transformation when it comes to
their way of thinking. It’s a long-term process and one that shakes up your
inner world, your intuition and affects how you feel about certain situations
and people. You are also in the process of getting rid of old emotional and
hidden garbage that you don’t need any more, bringing deeply aspects to the
surface that you are forced to deal with in one way or the other. This will
affect your behaviour patterns in the future as you are asked to deal with
repetitive or negative patterns from the past that no longer serve you or have
in fact always been quite destructive and obstructive. This transit can
eventually lead people to seek for help and this may be in the form of a
therapist or mentor. In any case, this period in your life prepares you to
eventually break free and before you undergo a complete transformation of
yourself in a few years time. Capricorns would have felt this transit since approximately
mid-2006 and quite strongly since late 2011 when Pluto, the planet of transformation
started its long series of squares to Uranus, the planet of sudden changes.
These would have already been eruptive times but whatever the situation, it’s
important to not run away from what you are confronted with now and the
feelings that come up from seemingly nowhere. If you try and avoid these
feelings, they will come and haunt you and control you – it really is not the
easiest of times but it’s best to face them upfront and accept that your past,
behaviour patterns, anxieties etc. are all part of who you are. Be kind to
yourself.
What
adds to this transformation in the way you think is Uranus transiting your 3rd
house of communication, siblings and everyday business. It’s to do with
everyday activities, short-distance travel, early schooling and intellectual
pursuits. These are areas that we often take for granted as they form part of
our life, of course, but do not form the foundation of it. Over the coming
years, old ways of thinking and communication will be eliminated and you may
turn your focus to new interests such as astrology, science, psychology and
based on that, you may develop new ideas. Pluto in connection with Uranus for
another three years ensures that the transformation is everlasting. Late March
and most of April 2013 will carry this theme forward and highlight areas of both
opportunity and challenge. By late July when the long-awaited air trine
happens, things should fall into place a lot more easily or you find that plans
can be implemented in a more straight forward manner.
The
other big, big theme for Capricorns in 2013 is the North node / Rahu moving
into the sign of Libra in mid-January. The latter half of January is a month of
progress for a lot of signs but for the next 18 months, many of us are seeking and
even craving the best in one-on-one relationships and more balance in the house
ruled by Libra in your chart. Our task is now to learn to share with others and
get to know the other’s likes, dislikes, quirks, habits, routines, hopes,
wishes and fears. Ultimately, lasting companionship based on true reciprocity
is the goal over the next 1 ½ years, especially with Saturn in the same sign. It’s
a time when we can achieve inner balance necessary for us to achieve our goals
through partnerships cooperation with others. In Indian astrology, this
placement is considered to magnify a passion for beauty, design, harmonious relationships,
and social order. Rahu is insatiable and enlarges everything it touches, so
some of us may take ‘risks’ and become a bit obsessive in wanting to achieve beautifully
balanced, equitable social arrangements. Due to the insatiable nature of the
Rahu, balancing multiple relationships, and keeping up a flawless public
appearance becomes crucial. For you Capricorn, this shift takes place in your
10th house of life direction. In particular if your ascendant is in
Capricorn, you will feel the effects of this transit more. Over the next 18
months, you may suddenly – or finally – find yourself in a leadership role when
you feel like all your hard work is paying off, or you may have a stronger
desire to be in a more prominent role at work. Maybe self-employment is a
serious consideration. Your ruler Saturn is in the same sign and house which
means that there will also be a bit of a push and pull energy going on at
times. As a Capricorn, however, you do have the necessary stamina and foresight
to get through these challenges which will mainly be around equality and
compromise - try and stay clear of imbalances in the work place. However, if I
look at the bigger picture in your chart, it feels as though some of you might
not be happy anymore with just a new job or a promotion at work. Yes, you work
hard and you are not afraid of that but with some much transformation happening
behind the scenes and in your house of ideas, I am almost tempted to suggest
that you may change direction completely. If this is news to you then the times
of the lunar and solar eclipses this year will highlight the fact that change
is in the air when it comes to your vocation.
The
lunar eclipse at the end of April is the first in this series and brings things
to a close, a peak and to a head. Lunar eclipses are more emotional than solar
eclipses and offer opportunities to get rid of outdated relationship behaviour
or emotional patterns. Think about what happened at the end of July 2012 as
whatever emerged then will give you a clue as to whatever story is likely to
progress at the end of April 2013. The
solar eclipse follows only a couple of weeks later on 9th May. This
time period will feel quite intense but it has a lot of potential for
transformation when it comes to career vs. your home environment. I have often
seen a transit such as this one changing someone’s place of living so this is
also something that could come out of you needing a change of direction or you
leaving old (emotional) baggage behind. The second wave of eclipses follows o
18th October with a lunar eclipse and 3rd of November
with a solar eclipse.
Capricorns
looking for romance have great opportunities in the first half of the year with
Jupiter, the planet of expansion transiting the 5th house of true love.
May and June 2013 are building up to become promising months in this regard
with Mercury, Venus, Sun and Mars all joining Jupiter in this house. You should
feel a lot more outgoing and in need of a well-deserved break after all the
soul-searching of the previous months. One word of warning, for Capricorns and
in particular Capricorn Ascendants, Jupiter rules the 12th house of
clandestine affair and everything that is hidden, so if you are entering into a
relationship, no matter how much fun it seems to be, make sure you keep it
above board. From the end of July though to September, relationships in general
will play a bigger part of your daily routine than they have done in the months
before. This is a time to commit, especially the time of the full Moon on 22nd
July and then again the time of the new Moon on 6th August. Around
this time, joint finances could also be a heavy topic of discussion between
yourself and your partner.
A lot is
moving forward in 2013, Capricorn, as you sort out where you’re heading next in
your journey – enjoy the ride!
