Lunations and Long-term Aspects

The New Moon on March 11 is in Pisces, your 3rd house of thoughts, ideas, siblings, neighbors and local travel.  With all the planets in that sign currently besides the Sun and Moon your brain may feel as if its on steroids.  Perhaps too many of them, particularly with Mercury retrograde as well as being in the sign of his debility and fall.  This could give your thought process the same basic characteristics as it might have with too many margaritas.  And that's not even considering the presence of Neptune, ruler of that sign, Venus, in the sign of her exaltation, or Mars or Chiron, a.k.a. "the wounded healer."  This is a major mix of energies concentrated in one area and of course the New Moon suggests something new beginning in this part of your life.  Needless to say trying to figure out what that may be is quite a crap shoot.  At least Pisces is in favorable aspect to your natal Sun which implies something favorable will come from it.  With such an entourage it's highly likely that the majority of Cappies will be affected in one way or another.  Let's take a look at the lineup and which birthdates are affected.

Neptune at 3 degrees is sextile the natal Sun of those of us with birthdays on December 25th, which can have an inspirational effect.  Watch for new insights and enlightenment.  Mercury RX is at 7 degrees and sextile your Sun if your birthday is right around December 29.  This is a time to rethink or reconsider something going on in your life.  Inspiration and enlightenment is possible but also watch out for deception or illusions.  Confusion is another possibility.  You folks are also in for some surprises at home or possible endings or new beginnings with Uranus squaring your Sun as well, which may be exactly what Mercury wants you to contemplate.  Another note on Mercury RX, he stationed at 19 degrees which will influence those born right around January 10 with similar vibes. 

Chiron is at 10 degrees, influencing those born right around January 1st.  This could bring the opportunity to heal, either physically, mentally or emotionally, and may indicate the chance to help someone else through a rough spot in their life through your own experience.  Venus at 17 degrees is well-placed in Pisces which brings our her loving, compassionate nature which can be accessible to those born right around January 8.  Use it in a way to show your love for someone or something and feed your soul.  The lunation itself is at 21 degrees, sextile those born around January 12.  A new thought or idea is possible, a day trip, or something involving a neighbor or sibling. Mars is at 29 degrees, aspecting your Sun if your birthday is around January 19.  Mars is a bit lost in Pisces where his direct, action-oriented nature is not supported particularly well.  Consider the god of war afloat on a liferaft in the middle of the ocean.  However, when he goes in Aries in sort-order he will be ready to roll, to say the least.  Thus, if you're spinning your wheels on a new project, it probably won't last long, except Mercury retrograde probably isn't going to help much as far as getting things going.

Mercury retrograde in your house of thoughts and such is likely to bring confusion and total lack of motivation, or at least not knowing what to do first or next.  Neptune, ruler of such lovely things as the flu, is in his dignity which could possibly have something to do with this being the flu season from hell, especially for those being aspected unfavorably by this planet.  You may have a sibling or neighbor so affected, either with the flu or some other elusive malady that may be hard to diagnose or treat.  If your birthday is right around January 2nd Pluto is conjunct your natal Sun, which is probably not exactly news for you, either.  The effect will depend somewhat on which house he's in on your natal chart but this transit typically brings significant transformation.  Pluto excels at unearthing matters from your subconscious which demand attention and resolution.  These will rumble at a deep, emotional level and exert a lot of powerful motivation. 

Pluto is sextile Saturn in Scorpio, your 11th house of goals, friends, networking and groups.  Being retrograde, Saturn is in limitation and delay mode so anything you are trying to move toward is likely to be stalled or perhaps dependent on that personal transformation.  These two planets are also the base of a yod with Jupiter at the eye in Gemini, your 6th house of work, health, service and pets.  This suggests a careful review of your work and project goals and aspirations and what you may need to change about yourself to achieve them.  If you are confused with too much information or too many options this, in time, should help you find the focus you need to not spread yourself too thin and prioritize your tasks and responsibilities accordingly.  As far as all Cappies are concerned, Pluto in your first house can help you express yourself more opening rather than suppressing your inner needs and thoughts as is typical for most Cappies.  Saturn is your sign ruler and also working at doing some remodeling while retrograde, the point of which is likely to come out around the July timeframe.

The Full Moon, typically related to a culmination, ending or shift to a new phase, is in fellow Cardinal Sign, Libra, your 10th house of career, status, public image and reputation.  This could be the signal that some changes are due in this part of your life.  Status is a rather broad range of possibilities so this won't necessarily only affect your career.  The planetary entourage has moved out of Pisces into Aries at this time, your 4th house of home environment, new beginnings, endings, cultural roots and memories, emphasizing this part of your life which is also a bit ambiguous.  However, the 4th and 10th houses are what are known as "angular" houses and represent important cornerstones of your life.  Actions that occur in these venues have important and lasting effects.  Venus conjunct the Sun should have favorable effects, even though she is in the sign of her debility, possibly because she can be a bit selfish here.  Sometimes for a Cappie, however, who tends to put responsibility and obligations first, this can sometimes be a good thing.  Uranus is plodding along in Aries and will be there for quite some time which brings a few surprises, disruptions and unexpected events to roost.  Mars in that house as well in the sign of his dignity implies action while Mercury, now direct, can help you put the pieces together for a new endeavor.
