Lunations and Long Term Aspects

The New Moon on January 4th is also a Solar Eclipse, giving it additional influence.  It occurs in fellow Earth Sign, Capricorn, your 5th House of ego definition, creativity, children, romance, entertainment and speculation and will be most influential for those of your born within a day or so of September 6th.  Expect to encounter an event or situation which relates to this part of your life and could have a lasting effect.  This eclipse will be visible along a path which includes parts of Algeria, Spain, France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Russia and Mongolia where the effects will be even stronger.  It's a member of the 13 North family of the Saros Series which has a generic interpretation which relates to major group projects where a separation or breaking of a bond is required prior to successful completion with a similar meaning for individuals. 

This specific eclipse has its own energies as well with a lot of energy in Capricorn due to the fact that not only are the Sun and Moon in that sign but also Mars, Pluto and the Lunar North Node.  This implies that moving forward is also going to involve resolving something from your past, perhaps that you've kept hidden or buried.  Your financial responsibilities may be involved and may represent a challenge of some sort.  For example, you may want to do something which is a bit outside your budget or has other restrictions associated with it.  Close relationships may hold some surprises or maybe disruptions, though these should not be of an unpleasant nature.  Be more cautious than usual running errands and local travel, such as your daily commute.  There may be some confusion associated with your work, service or health, such as showing up at the wrong place or time due to unclear directions.  Knowing that Virgos are typically quite meticulous and detail-oriented, make sure you confirm anything of this sort to save yourself frustration.

During the first three and a half weeks of this month all planets will be moving forward, which is a somewhat rare occurrence.  Take advantage of this time to move forward with anything you want to accomplish.  On January 26 Saturn goes retrograde which will put a damper on any progress and institute various delays and obstacles.  This is most likely to show up in your finances, income, possessions, needs or pleasures in some way.  When Saturn is retrograde it stirs up something in your subconscious which needs to be restructured, though you may not know what it is until the retrograde period ends in June.  Until then you may experience a heavy or gloomy feeling you can't explain.  Come June you'll be aware of what it is and have until Saturn reaches the point where it went retrograde to get it rectified.  If you choose to ignore it don't think it will go away.  Rather it will inhibit your progress in this area until you take care of business.

The Full Moon on January 19 is in Cancer, your 11th House of friends, groups, organizations, goals, hopes and wishes.  Those of your born right around September 23 should watch for an opportunity to come your way from this part of your life.  It may not be exactly what you want, but it worth consideration, even though there may also be some conflict with moving forward with your work or job.  A change of course or direction may be required, perhaps because you weren't seeing things clearly, but the effect on your relationships may have a surprising benefit attached.  Remember that a Full Moon typically brings an ending or culmination, though of course this also means the beginning of a new cycle.  Close friends and relatives can provide support and assistance at this time as well.
