A powerful New Moon Solar Eclipse arrives on Saturday, January 5, 2019! It will be visible in East Asia and Southern Alaska. Although this celestial event may not be visible where you live, you will feel its powerful reverberations nonetheless! This is because the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Capricorn occurs very close to two other powerful planets: structured Saturn in Capricorn and transformational Pluto in Capricorn. The 3 celestial bodies—the Moon, Saturn, and Pluto—will conjoin each other in Capricorn within hours of the eclipse. 

Let’s say that one is on a sports team and their ultimate goal is to win a championship.  However, the current incarnation of the team just doesn’t allow for this.  Let’s say that the necessary changes to be made and the only way for this to happen is to marginalize one’s input, recognition, and utilization.  Other people need to be brought in and new strategies need to be employed which will move the needle towards the goal, but comes at this self-detriment.

As you are probably aware, we are rounding out the calendar year of 2018 at the end of December.  However, astrologically speaking, we actually see the new year as starting on the winter solstice which will be happening at the end of this week when the Sun ingresses into the sign of Capricorn.  Before we get into the indications of what the Sun’s upcoming ingress into Capricorn can bring with it, I’d like to discuss some interesting facts about Vedic Astrology’s viewpoint on years and a deeper understanding of our own calendar and how it relates to astrology. 

Astrology is simple yet subtle.  There are many websites and such online that talk about the Sun sign related to your birthdate that you may or may not relate to.  These Sun sign interpretations are just as simple as taking the qualities of the planet, in this case the Sun, and comparing and combining them with the qualities of the sign and then seeing the things that either offer confluence or opposition.  That is the simple side.  The subtle side of astrology is to determine whether or not that singular connection will present itself in the individual’s life in spades

Finally, this week we have the official end of this Mercury retrograde cycle.  Last week we had Mercury leaving Sagittarius where it was with Sun and Jupiter and bringing its distractions and disruptions.  When Mercury went retrograde into Scorpio it was the first sign of breaking up the distraction cycle that this retrogression period was all about.  Now, with it finally going direct again, we have the official end of this cycle.
