Lunations and Long-term Aspects

The New Moon on January 4th is also a Solar Eclipse which will add substantially to its effect.  If your birthday is within a day or so of August 6 you are most likely to see something of significance which will involve a change of course, adjustment or the need to justify your current position.  This eclipse is a member of the 13 North family of the Saros Series.  Its generic meaning relates to group endeavors which will encounter a separation before the project will reach successful completion.  On the person level the effects are similar except the individual will encounter a separation or break away from someone or something before they can take part in a group achievement.  This specific eclipse brings a lot of Capricorn energy with the Sun, Moon, Mars, Pluto and the North Lunar Node in that sign.  Capricorn is your 6th House of work, health and pets so this is where to watch for something the fits the above descriptions.  There will be a lot of energy to move forward and something new is on the way, but there may be a need to eliminate anything that is out of date, beyond its usefulness, or corrupt before progress can be made. 

If your thoughts have been more serious than usual the last year or so, you can blame Saturn.  This transit will be beneficial for getting your thoughts organized, planning and focusing your ambitions.  However, if there is something going on at work it's very likely that it requires less restrictions and thinking outside the box.  Work at blending discipline with your natural creativity and see what you can come up with.  Your home life has been interesting lately, which should bring beneficial changes your way at a deep, personal level.  You may have even encounter a transformation of some sort as a result of new experiences.  Keep your eyes wide open, however, as someone may not be telling you everything you have a right to know.  If deception is involved, get to the bottom of things and then rectify the situation any way you can.

There are no retrograde planets until January 26 when Saturn goes retrograde.  This allows each of them to manifest their energy in a direct manner which can be very helpful with regard to anything you're trying to accomplish.   Take steps at this time toward moving forward with something you want to do because once Saturn goes retrograde you'll encounter delays, obstacles, and possibly bureaucratic hassles.  With Saturn in your 3rd House of thoughts, ideas, siblings and neighbors you can expect that any progress in that part of your life will slow down considerably.  When Saturn is retrograde he will be stirring up something in this part of your life which needs to be restructured in some way.  You may not have any clue what it is until June when Saturn goes direct.  However, if you feel as if you have a weight holding you back or the feeling of gloom and doom, that will be the cause.  It will be even more dramatic if you have transiting Saturn aspecting a natal planet.

The Full Moon on January 19th is in your zodiacal nextdoor neighbor, Cancer just a sneeze away from your sign.  This is your 12th House of dreams, enlightenment, spirituality, institutions, seclusion, hidden enemies and self-undoing.  This is the house of angels and demons where everything from inspiration to self-undoing reside.  A Full Moon typically brings an ending or culmination which will relate to this house in some way.   Implications for work are likely to appear and adjustments with regard to a relationship are likely.  On the positive side something unexpected which has a strong impact on you at a personal level and changes you in some way is likely to have a beneficial effect.
