Communication Gets More Serious as Mercury Enters Capricorn



Venus may have left the Capricorn party of the Sun, Saturn, Pluto and Ceres on December 20, 2019, when I tweeted:
but on December 28, 2019 Mercury will enter Capricorn until January 16, 2020.  That’s right folks, Mercury will be in Capricorn for the next eclipse on January 10, 2020 and the upcoming Saturn Pluto conjunction on January 12, 2020.

When Mercury transits the earth sign of Capricorn, communication gets more serious, clear and rational.  Our ideas are more structured as our thinking becomes more methodical.  Its timing is perfect for setting New Year’s resolutions because Mercury in Capricorn is so goal oriented.  Mercury in Capricorn is a very favorable influence for focusing on business and practical matters.  The shadow side of Mercury in Capricorn is the tendency to be too controlling which detracts from its constructive nature and we can also be quite rigid when Mercury in Capricorn.

Mercury in Capricorn is also making some very favorable aspects during the coming week.  On December 30, 2019, it forms an exact trine with Uranus in 2 degrees of Taurus.  This aspect will open up our minds to exciting ideas involving new technologies and the possibility of new friends coming into our lives.

While Mercury isn’t making any particular aspects on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2019, we do end the year and the decade on a note of hope with the Pisces moon forming a supportive sextile to the sun in 9 degrees of Capricorn.  This aspect has a strong theme of surrendering to the present, letting go of the past and having faith in the future.  That element of faith is reinforced by the Pisces moon conjuncting Neptune in 16 degrees of Pisces.

On January 2, 2020, Mercury in Capricorn conjuncts Jupiter in 6 degrees of Capricorn.  This aspect favors work and play.  It has the potential to bring good news, optimism and a happy frame of mind.  It is very auspicious for business deals and new ideas, so be sure to write down any ideas that you receive on this date.  It’s a real feel good aspect and a fabulous way to launch a new year and a new decade. 

If you are curious as to how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading.  I have recently revised my menu of services and am now offering a Saturn Pluto Conjunction reading for $25 which will offer you some insight and guidance into how this major astrological event that occurs on January 12, 2020 in 22 degrees of Capricorn will impact you.  It can be purchased through my site at:


I have also added a new reading to my menu of services, a Clues to Compatibility reading, which is designed primarily for non-romantic relationships and utilizes synastry to determine your connections with friends, family members and business associates.

Venus Enters Aquarius and the Sun Enters Capricorn Setting the Stage for a Solar Eclipse in Capricorn



We have been getting a heavy blast of planets in earth signs lately. Venus, Jupiter, Pluto, Saturn and Ceres have all been in Capricorn and Uranus is in Taurus.  On December 17, 2019 we even had a Grand Trine in Earth involving the moon in Virgo.  On that day I tweeted:
On December 20, 2019, Venus departs Capricorn and enters the air sign of Aquarius until January 13, 2020.  This will be a marked change from Venus in Capricorn; we will be feeling much more social (just in time for the holidays) and lighter.  Friendship is very important to us when Venus is in Aquarius, as is the need for freedom and independence, so be sure to give your partners and friends the space they need.  Hopefully we will all be seeking more equality in our relationships, but Venus in the sign of Aquarius, which is ruled by Uranus, has a somewhat unconventional and detached approach to relationships.  But Venus moving into Aquarius does energize us because we finally have a planet in an air sign.

On the following day, December 21, 2019, the sun leaves the fire sign of Sagittarius and joins the Capricorn party of Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto and Ceres.  So the Capricorn influence is still calling the shots.  December 21, 2019 is also known as the Winter Solstice because it is the shortest day of the year and marks the official start of winter.  When the sun is in Capricorn, we are feeling more serious, responsible and goal oriented.  We strive for accomplishment and want to see results for the fruits of our labors.

On December 26, 2019 Eclipse Season kicks off with a solar eclipse in 4 degrees of Capricorn.  This is not necessarily a bad thing.  Granted, it does have a material world emphasis as turbulent changes are coming, especially in long standing structures that are on the verge of collapsing.  The solar eclipse in Capricorn is also trining Uranus in Taurus, so we are definitely headed for some big changes coming down the pike.

The solar eclipse on December 26, 2019 is a south node eclipse which could highlight abuse of power and responsibility.  This is a time to set new intentions in the area of life that the eclipse occurs in.  Where does 4 degrees of Capricorn fall in your chart?  For me, it falls in my third house and is conjunct my north node in Capricorn, which is a pretty big deal.  Or, as one friend suggested to me, it’s time to write!  It is also continuing a theme with the Cancer/Capricorn eclipses that began in July 2018 when we had a solar eclipse in 20 degrees of Cancer. And we have a lunar eclipse coming on January 10, 2020 on 20 degrees of Cancer.  The major themes of eclipses in Cancer and Capricorn are emotional and practical security. 

Jupiter in Capricorn is also conjunct this solar eclipse, which brings faith and optimism to the mix as it also continues to trine Uranus in Taurus.  The trine between Jupiter in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus was exact on December 15, 2019, when I tweeted:
We will continue to feel the effects of the Jupiter Uranus trine through the rest of 2019.  This is a very future oriented aspect that is quite visionary and can prove to be a time of great awakening.  It brings good luck, generosity, happiness and opportunity for personal, professional and spiritual growth.  Don’t be afraid to take a risk. 

Overall, this eclipse seems to have a great deal of positive energy going for it.  There are however, two aspects that might prove to be a bit challenging.  The solar eclipse in 4 degrees of Capricorn does square Chiron in 1 degree of Aries, which will bring up the need for emotional healing.  And Venus in Aquarius will be squaring Uranus in Taurus, which could contribute to some restlessness in relationships and finances and a craving for freedom.

If you are curious as to how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading.  I have recently revised my menu of services and am now offering a Saturn Pluto Conjunction reading for $25 which will offer you some insight and guidance into how this major astrological event that occurs on January 12, 2020 in 22 degrees of Capricorn will impact you.  It can be purchased through my site at:

An Intense Venus Pluto Conjunction in Capricorn Gets Some Relief from Mars in Scorpio Trining Neptune in Pisces



Friday the 13th in the last month of 2019 features a powerhouse of astrological activity.  For starters, Venus and Pluto are conjunct in 21 degrees of Capricorn and Saturn is not far behind in 19 degrees of Capricorn.  This is a pretty dynamic combination.  As someone who has a natal Venus Pluto aspect (a square, to be precise), I can tell you that this is not a lightweight aspect for relationships.  It tends to bring out jealousy and all of those lovely little possessive, obsessive and compulsive traits.  It’s not exactly smooth sailing for relationships.  The fact that this aspect falls on a Friday the 13th lends a more ominous quality to the mix for those who are superstitious.  And with Saturn tagging along, getting ready for its own hookup with Pluto on January 12, 2020, the relationship vibe will be downright heavy and serious.
But there is some relief in sight. We also have Mars in 15 degrees of Scorpio trining Neptune in 15 degrees of Pisces on December 13, 2020. This is a delightful aspect that encourages us to act out our nurturing urges and provides a sense of idealism that helps us to move forward.   It has a theme of encouraging us to act on making our dreams come true.  It is pretty potent because Mars is so strong in Scorpio, a sign that it rules. Mars in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces are also involved in a Grand Water Trine with the Cancer moon that helps bring out the best in us emotionally.  The potential for increased sensitivity, compassion and forgiveness is running high and we should make the most of it.

There is more good news coming our way astrologically. On December 15, 2019, Jupiter in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus are exactly trining each other in two degrees of their respective signs. When Jupiter and Uranus are in favorable aspect to each other, they encourage us to try something new because we feel lucky and want to implement positive change.  The fact that they are in earth signs makes this a no-brainer for taking some constructive action in our lives.  This aspect will play a major role of alleviating any tension caused by the pileup of Saturn, Venus and Pluto in Capricorn. Of course, it also depends on which houses Jupiter and Uranus are transiting in your chart.  For me, Jupiter is transiting my 3rd house and Uranus is transiting my 7th house.

We may hit a bit of a snag on December 19, 2019 when Mercury in 15 degrees of Sagittarius squares Neptune in 15 degrees of Pisces.  Mercury entered Sagittarius on December 9, 2019, inspiring me to tweet:
Mercury squaring Neptune can bring some confusion and deception to communications.  But we do have a lovely grounding sextile from Mars in 19 degrees of Scorpio to Saturn in 19 degrees of Capricorn which should help offset any confusion or brain fog that the Mercury Neptune square causes.  Mars sextiling Saturn is literally a green light to make good things happen.

If you are curious as to how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading.  I have recently revised my menu of services and am now offering a Saturn Pluto Conjunction reading for $25 which will offer you some insight and guidance into how this major astrological event that occurs on January 12, 2020 in 22 degrees of Capricorn will impact you.  It can be purchased through my site at:

Neptune Squares Contribute to a Nebulous Full Moon in Gemini and Mercury Enters Sagittarius



There is a strong sense of momentum currently with a preponderance of planets and the south node in Capricorn.  Jupiter entered Capricorn on December 2, 2019, inspiring me to tweet:
We are headed into a full moon in 19 degrees of Gemini on December 12, 2019.  But before that happens we have some rather confusing squares to Neptune in Pisces.  On December 8, 2019, the sun in 15 degrees of Sagittarius squares Neptune in 15 degrees of Pisces.  This aspect can manifest in low energy and feelings of confusion and disappointment.  It can also predispose us to feeling like a victim or martyr or even activate our savior mode.  The best use of this energy is to indulge our creative side. On a personal level, my Gemini moon in the 8th house will be activated by this square with the sun opposing my moon and Neptune squaring it.  Hopefully my Reiki work will channel this energy constructively.

On December 9, 2019, Mercury will enter Sagittarius until December 28, 2019.  Mercury has had an extended stay in the sign of Scorpio due to the recent Mercury retrograde.  Mercury has been in Scorpio since October 3, 2019.  We can expect a big change in our thinking and communication when Mercury transits Sagittarius.  Mercury in Scorpio loved to plumb the depths with laser like focus on a single situation but Mercury in Sagittarius will adopt a big picture view as it seeks to learn more about a wide range of topics.  Honesty and faith are more important to us when Mercury is in Sagittarius.  We also tend to be more optimistic and idealistic with Mercury in Sagittarius and we can be downright persuasive if we want to be.  But the shadow side of Mercury in Sagittarius is a tendency to communicate with a lack of tact or be overly preachy in expressing our views.

The full moon in 19 degrees of Gemini occurs on December 12, 2019 on the east coast of the United States.  This full moon squares Neptune in 15 degrees of Pisces which further contributes to the confusion we experienced on December 8th.  It may also contribute to a strong desire for escapism. This full moon is also conjunct my natal Gemini moon.  Full moons can shine light on previously hidden emotional matters and this one will be no exception.  The shadow side of a Gemini moon is a tendency to chatter aimlessly, gossip and engage in self-defeating talk.  This full moon in Gemini also features Mercury in 4 degrees of Sagittarius in a challenging inconjunct aspect to Uranus in 3 degrees of Taurus, which can involve a lot of information swirling around that requires us to make some adjustments or compromises in order to process it.

The lineup of planets in Capricorn, which includes Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Pluto and the south node of the moon further complicates this full moon.  Venus will be conjunct Saturn from December 10, 2019 through December 14, 2019, which have a somber influence on financial and political issues.  And we have Venus, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn inconjunct the full moon in 19 degrees of Gemini.  Quite literally, something will have to give with all of these inconjuncts if we are to make any progress.

If you are curious as to how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading.  I have recently revised my menu of services and am now offering a Saturn Pluto Conjunction reading for $25 which will offer you some insight and guidance into how this major astrological event that occurs on January 12, 2020 in 22 degrees of Capricorn will impact you.  It can be purchased through my site at:
