from Karmic Evolution’s Astrologically Speaking’s Sheri Horn Hasan December 31, 2018–January 6, 2019:
Mars, the god of war, marches into his own sign of Aries on New Year’s Eve, December 31st, & energizes the Scorpio Moon’s trine to Neptune in Pisces almost immediately following. Have fun and dance the night away, or spend it engaged in a deeply soulful, empathic reverie, but either way try not to do anything you’ll regret, because when the Capricorn Sun meets Saturn on January 1st or 2nd—depending on your time zone—you may find yourself having to account for your actions!
On January 3, Mercury in Sagittarius squares Chiron in Pisces & it pays to remember that words can wound, even if they’re said in the name of a cause…or perhaps BECAUSE they are said in the name of a cause…
However, Mercury follows this aspect shortly after with a trine to Uranus in Aries, which tells us a better way to heal our karmic wounds now may be by viewing them from an alternative perspective, rather than simply from the same old viewpoint…
Charity & compassion prevail on January 4 when the Capricorn Sun sextiles Neptune, but Mercury’s entrance into Capricorn that day lends more gravitas to our communication and paves the way for extreme Capricorn energy at the Capricorn New Moon & total solar eclipse on January 5.
That’s because, just after Venus in Scorpio trines Chiron & applies some soothing balm to any of our wounds, the Capricorn New Moon & total solar eclipse occur right in the middle of transiting Saturn & Pluto at 15 degrees 25 minutes (5:28 p.m. PT, 8:28 p.m. ET!)
This Capricorn New Moon sets the tone for a more solemn 2019 as the two luminaries–plus Mercury, Saturn, & Pluto–all congregate as they move toward the Capricorn South Node now. Also, Uranus in Aries squares the transiting karmic nodal axis, & Venus quincunxes Uranus, which means more surprises are likely in the beginning of the new year, particularly around the collective and its changing set of values…
This is particularly true because this total solar eclipse lunation can act like a sudden jump start to a car battery, meaning we must always expect the unexpected! Look for where 15-16 degrees Capricorn lands in your natal chart to determine the area of life where new information may shine through as the Sun’s own light is “eclipsed” now.
Further define the meaning of this eclipse by observing which, if any, planets, angles, or house cusps aspect the Capricorn New Moon/total solar eclipse within three degrees.
A grand water trine between Venus, Chiron, & the Cancer North Node softens all this Cap energy some, as does the Moon & Sun’s sextile to Neptune, & Jupiter in Sagittarius’s square to Neptune.
Sun sextile Neptune provides opportunities for us to realize & ground emotional, charitable, & spiritual energy through the process of visualization; while Jupiter square Neptune cautions us that ungrounded flights of fantasy rarely become manifest reality.
The grand water trine lightens all this earthy, traditional, empirical, rational Capricorn energy by juxtaposing it against tender, sensitive, nurturing, empathic, & deeply-felt emotions, & asking us to find healthy ways to integrate all this earth and water…
Finally, the great change-maker Uranus stations direct in Aries on January 6, a direction he’ll continue as he plans to re-enter the sign of Taurus March 6 for the next six years. This will further strengthen and emphasize the need for value shifts as time goes by…
