New Moon in Capricorn December 24, 2011

© Alessia Giangrande | Dreamstime.com

The flavor of the New Moon at 2° 34′ Capricorn on 24 December 2011, 10:07 AM PST is decidedly cardinal earth – controlled, traditional and determined. The fire and flourish of Sagittarius is put firmly behind us under this lunation with only Mercury remaining in the previous sign.

This is a good time to take another look at Capricorn and remember it is a receptive/feminine earth sign whose natural inclination is to be responsive. In the northern hemisphere this is the time of year when nature is resting and the landscape [...]

Observations: Winter Solstice December 21-22 2011

© Kostyantyn Ratnikov | Dreamstime.com

This year’s Solstice – Winter in the northern hemisphere, Summer in the southern – has the Sun in Capricorn, Uranus in Aries and Jupiter in Taurus all at zero degrees, emphasizing an opportunity to make a fresh start. Furthermore, both Venus in Aquarius and Chiron in Pisces are just past the critical degree. Those who have planets and Angles from 0 to 2 degrees will feel the urge to take a new direction the strongest. Cardinal sign folk (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) are bound to pick up on this energy [...]

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius, November 24, 2011

© Diane Lang

This could very well be the most positive, dynamic New Moon of the year at 2° 37′ Sagittarius on 24 November 2011, 10:09 PM PST due to a trine from Uranus in wild-eyed Aries and an inconjunct from Sagittarius’s ruler, Jupiter in cautious Taurus. We get extra razzle dazzle from this lunation because it is a Solar Eclipse, the first of a pair followed by a Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Gemini on 10 December.

One thing I’m sure of is this New Moon will inspire people everywhere to get out and get moving. [...]

We will have opportunities on this New Moon at 3° 39′ Scorpio on 26 October 2011, 12:56 PM PDT to remember why Scorpio deals with rebirth and regeneration rather the darker side of life often associated with the eighth sign of the zodiac. Please recall the many wonderful healers and caregivers born with Scorpio prominent in their charts also.

Jupiter in fecund Taurus sits opposite the New Moon and Pluto (Scorpio’s ruler) in Capricorn adds richness and diversity via a supportive sextile. This is a very fruitful time to develop new ideas [...]

Full Moon in Capricorn, July 14, 2011

Thankfully this Full Moon at 22° 28′ Capricorn on 14 July 2011, 11:39 PM PDT, is your normal garden variety Full Moon. After three eclipses in a row stirring the pot and generally making life ‘interesting’, I’m very happy to be writing about an ordinary lunation once again.

Because all of the planets from Jupiter on out to Pluto are in the first ten degrees of their respective signs, they are not aspecting this 22° Full Moon at all. Only Mercury in Leo and the Moon’s Nodes (North Node in [...]
