Capricorn influences are strong this month as
the Sun is there till the 21st and Mercury moves into that sign on
the 14th , Venus is also entering Capricorn on the 23rd
and Mars is also there from the 4th.
Capricorn is archetypically concerned with
traditional power ,status and financial ambitions. It is ruled by Saturn , so it is a sign that likes to have discipline, the old order and
hierarchies of class and power. Positively it is hard working and seeks
material and ego security. It does not like change unless it creates more
security for the status quo. Capricorn is indeed very connected to material
power and conservative values and in extremis , can be related to destructive
greed, when negatively expressed.
Pluto is really emphasising the power of
Capricorn this month, as he is in the last degree of the sign till the 21st, when he moves into
Aquarius, staying there till September 2nd . He then moves back to
Capricorn, briefly, when he will then correlate with the final efforts of the
powers of negative Capricorn global influences, before finally leaving that
sign on November 19th, and committing then to Aquarius for approx.
20 years. This will be a momentous
period bringing the beginning of a totally essential shift of values and power.
Meanwhile the last-ditch power of
Capricorn forces/values are fighting for preservation, globally in terms of
geopolitical economic power and control geographically , hence the horrific
current war scenario… and an economic war within societies, not least in the
UK, a Capricorn country.
Pluto always tests for the wise use of the
power of the values of the sign he is in, and abuse of that power can be a very
profound danger.
Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn is
however currently in Pisces , (a very
different energy to Capricorn) since March 2023 and till mid Feb 2026…has and
will continue to undermine the power of Capricorn principles.
The shift to the right we have
seen globally, will totally be proved to have been calamitous and the opposite
of what is demanded by the universe., and indeed our planet. We may have to go to an extreme scenario to
generate a counter revolution. The
desperate power of ego, financial power and almost fascist values are being
increasingly displayed in many countries, as Pluto lingers in the last degree of Capricorn , and
it will exemplify the ruthless narcissistic characteristics evident in many
people in power. This is being emphasised in their last-ditch attempt to
maintain old destructive values, which if continues, will be global suicide.
Pluto visits each sign
approximately every 248 years for a long haul of global influence on values. Those born around January 19th-21st
will for sure, currently be feeling the power of this Plutonic shift in their
personal lives.
This year is therefore hugely important in
seeing a real battle of extremes; the old socioeconomic order of power and
values versus a very new one, of necessity, that involves a bigger picture total
urgency in terms of our planet’s very survival, and therefore our own, as well
as a desperate fight for a more humanitarian system. Additionally, and very
powerfully, there will be inevitably a coming massive leap in the power of technology,
(Aquarius) for good, or possibly ill.
There is always the danger of abuse of power
in the values that each sign represents, when Pluto activates it and in
Aquarius , there are dangers too .
The demise of Capricorn values and yes, the
incoming power of the new Aquarian influences will get seriously under way this
year, but we must go through the dark to get to the light sometimes, and this
seems to be very much the case now and over the coming months. Nothing is
always totally good when human ego and desire for power is involved. Motive of course is everything.
Political shifts and current astrology are
inevitably linked. and although many astrologers avoid the politics , it seems
to me a vital focus, as the values and mood music of the human directed global
energies, are so connected to planetary alignments and placements.
Very interestingly, when the Sun
moves into Aquarius on the 21st of this month, it will exactly
conjunct Pluto and will also coordinate with Pluto’s exact day of entrance into
that sign, which will be a very significant pointer to a new value system
having to be born.
Britain is a Capricorn country,
and we are indeed seeing a real crisis in the politics/society there.
A real breakdown in fact has been
created by the current regime, for the next government to try to clear up and
regenerate. Radical change is needed. The veering to the right, as seems to be
happening in many countries, is an interesting and cruel knee jerk response to
energies affecting us all.
A revolution is indeed needed, and that is
felt globally, but it must be around Aquarian objective, positive, egalitarian,
humanitarian and big picture planetary health principles, without fear and without old habits of greed ,ego and power .
Meanwhile Neptune continuing
powerfully through its own home sign of Pisces and indeed Saturn now also in
the first few degrees Pisces, continuing in the sign, till Mid Feb 2026, is
underlying a global increase in the population’s mental stress, sensitivity,
anxiety and indeed empathy for all who suffer and indeed for the suffering of
the planet itself. There are indications of real mental delicacy now, in many
people, which can manifest in many ways, not least In the UK . Neptune in Pisces, continuing till
late January 2026, will keep emphasising the human instinct of the love of and
sensitivity to nature and its necessary survival. That will be the great fight back, of
necessity.
All children born between February 2012 and
the end of January 2026 will have this Neptune sign position in their natal
chart… a very powerful influence in their caring, empathetic and more universal
value system….and they will help change the future, in the coming decades.
As Pluto has its final say in Capricorn
and indeed, its final karmic imprint, there is a realisation that the
government (of England in particular) is completely desperate and out of touch
with the populace, as its focus is increasingly confused, illogical and often
ruthless ,as they desperately try to cement the old economic priorities and
inequalities. This mood continues for now.
Rishi Sunak has also had Saturn opposite his
Mars for much of December and Uranus opposition his Mercury. His mind is chaotic, and his power limited,
and it seems he has felt very out of his depth and very pressurised by
financial interests of the far right of his party. March and especially April
this year will see a massive wobble and change in his status, when Uranus hits
both his Sun and Mercury powerfully (every 84 years) and Mars also challenges his
natal Jupiter, Mars and then Saturn during those months.
A sort of civil war between values is manifesting, and this will be very
evident this year . The younger
generation have very strong collective values that are very different to those
of many in power now, and politicians, naively tend to think that values don’t
shift.
This month, Mercury moves direct on the 2nd
when many blocks , uncertainties and delays will be starting to be resolved in
the big picture and in our personal dealings.
Jupiter, remaining in Taurus till late May,
puts much focus on the fight for some fair monetary security, yes…. But it also
emphasises the power of the natural world and the need for our respect for it,
which many people are desperate for, but which many governments seem completely
alien to, when their only focus is power and money.
2024 will be a milestone period /battle and
January has some positive indicators , but it is the outer planetary issues
that are the real significant indicators .
I have talked about Pluto in the global
context endlessly.
Uranus now ongoing in Taurus till the end of April 2026, will also bring
massive shifts in the geophysical infrastructure of our planet , as we are
already seeing, due to our impact on the environment ,as well as bringing some chaos in the monetary system
(Taurus) . These will be the great movers and shakers for a demand for change
and Pluto moving into Aquarius will give this desperate desire, some focus and
power , providing the motive of those with the ability to guide those powers,
are all for the greater good.
Motive really is everything .
