The Sun at 8 degrees
Capricorn is conjunct Mercury at 1:28 am Sunday.
This is a key point in the economic cycle (as are all the
conjunctions between Sun, Mercury and Venus) so keep an eye peeled
for stock market moves and hot sectors. Since this is in Capricorn,
the sign of both Big Business and of government, those areas should
feel the biggest impact. The Sun opposes Jupiter a week later, which
may mean that gold (Sun) hits a correction point.
Mercury at 8 degrees
39' Capricorn squares Uranus in Aries at 3:48 am Sunday. This is
followed by the Sun square Uranus at 12:05 am Monday.
Mercury-Uranus squares are generally bad for buying electronic or
mechanical items; it may mean that repairs are called for on items
you already have. To avoid accidents, avoid doing things on impulse –
the key word there is impulse. Think what to do, use your signals,
communicate your intentions. You might have some brainstorms, but
your thoughts tend to be chaotic and so you benefit from writing down
what needs to be done, step by step. Your nerves may also be jittery;
skip the second cup of java. This is followed by the Sun's hunger for
change. You may change your routine, shake yourself out of a rut.
Once I got on a plane under this transit, for a quick weekend trip.
You need a change of scene instead of staring at the same four walls.
Instead of channel surfing or web surfing, try visiting a museum show
or gallery. Pick up a magazine you never heard of before about a
subject you might not be familiar with. At the same time, expect the
unexpected.
Mars at 11 degrees
Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn at 8:16 pm Monday.
If the Uranus squares are not channeled into constructive changes
(see above) then this Mars-Pluto square may blast you out of your
cozy cocoon. Mars and Pluto together are such an explosive combo,
it's like dynamite plus a nuclear bomb. Avoid dangerous places or
hi-energy crowds. There can be ego conflicts or power struggles
between business partners or marital partners. Ambition or control
issues may be a sticking point. On the plus side, you can harness
this energy to get a lot of work done, like cleaning out a garage or
demolishing a building. You might also conceive a child if you have
not been able to before.
Mercury is conjunct
Pluto at 11 degrees Capricorn at 6:24 am Tuesday, and soon squares
Mars in Libra at 9:59 am Tuesday.
This is a lot like Mars-Pluto, but more verbal. Mercury plus Mars in
particular is argument or debate, although Pluto wants to totally
demolish the opponent's assumptions and data.
Then the Sun is
conjunct Pluto (again at 11 degrees) at 1:54 am Wednesday, New Year's
Day. I am going to make a
suggestion on how to harness the power of the conjunction with Pluto
(PS – there is also a New Moon in Capricorn on New Year's Day at
6:14 am on 10 degrees 57' of Cappy). Pluto has many meanings but I
want to focus on the one that helps you to take control of your own
life. You might want to also harness the power of the 11 degree
number by waiting for the clock to hit 11:11 on your digital readout,
and making a very concentrated, very earnest wish for your life, for
the year, or for the near future. The numbers lady, Glynis McCants
talked about how an actress made a wish for herself to get a plum
role when the clock read 11:11; she got the part and hit it big with
that role.
The Sun at 12 degrees
Capricorn squares Mars in Libra at 7:14 pm Thursday. After
all the heavy-duty transits listed above, this one may seem like a
piece of cake. All ya gotta do is get into the gym and work off your
frustrations. Because the square can mean being blocked or hemmed in
somehow, and you really wanna dig in your heels and fight back. This
is good in an athletic contest, where one team is down 10 points at
the half and comes back to win the game in the second half.
Mercury at 15 degrees
Capricorn opposes Jupiter retrograde in Cancer at 2:11 am Friday.
Fifteen degrees is the world degree in cardinal signs, so there might
be rather significant news in the wind. Pay attention to the fine
print in any deals, or have someone with you who will take care of
that. A tendency to arrogance sometimes with this transit, so don't
come across as a know-it-all. A sense of humor really helps lighten
the mood.

Readers
can follow not only their Sun sign horoscope but also their Ascendant
for further clues to how your week will develop. NOTE: some aspects
are exact on a weekend but may find opportunity for expression on the
Friday or Monday nearest the exact aspect. Times given are in Eastern
Standard or Eastern Daylight Savings Time depending on the season.
ARIES
- March 20-April 19 - The powerful New Moon on New Year's is
in your solar tenth house of career and rank; you may have to risk
public failure, but doing so may lead to fulfilling your ambitions.
Uranus transiting your sign also ties in to the New Moon; you may
upset the status quo, possibly as a gadfly or activist. You may rely
on your mate more than ever in the first half of 2014, due to the
strength of the transits of Ceres and Vesta in your seventh house.
TAURUS
- April 20-May 20 – The powerful New Moon on New Year's is
in your solar ninth house of publishing, college, law, religion, the
internet; your intellect delivers amazing insights and intuition not
just for your benefit but for all the world. Pallas transiting your
fifth house and Mars in your sixth house tie in to the New Moon;
health challenges lie ahead, but so does a very bright, capable
person as a love interest. Pay attention to the fine print in any
contracts Friday, or take along a confederate who will do so.
GEMINI
- May 21-June 20 – The powerful New Moon on New Year's is in
your solar eighth house; you may learn how to tap into others' true
motivations, and push them into greater self-awareness. You are very
proud of an accomplished child in 2014. You challenge yourself to
learn to dance this year. You may win a bet Thursday night that you
can do some athletic feat; getcher tennies on.
CANCER
- June 21-July 22 - The powerful New Moon on New Year's is in
your solar seventh house of partners; opening up to your mate can
catapult you into a deeper and more intimate bond. A neighbor may
have very good advice for you about practical matters like software
or keeping a datebook. A male family member may be a bit disruptive
this year. The year 2014 may get off to a trying start, but the
protective power of Jupiter still in Cancer is in effect.
LEO
- July 23-Aug. 22 - The powerful New Moon on New Year's is in
your solar sixth house of health and work; you clean up disorder and
install efficiencies in the office or in a volunteer situation. A new
personal accountant or tax adviser may offer excellent guidelines for
getting your finances in order this year. Think carefully before
sending letters or email out there; have a friend scan thru them
first.
VIRGO
- Aug. 23-Sept. 22 - The powerful New Moon on New Year's is
in your solar fifth house of creativity and fun; you can tap into a
deeper level of creative power when entertaining others, if you are
able to set aside inhibitions. Pallas in your sign ties in to the New
Moon; you may be a guide or mentor of some kind to children. Watch
out for excess fees and taxes on your bills in 2014, and ask for
unjustified charges to be removed. Juno moves into your sign for the
New Year; unmarried persons may not remain so for long.
LIBRA
- Sept. 23-Oct. 22 – The phone may ring off the hook Sunday
(or the previous Saturday) so keep in touch. The powerful New Moon on
New Year's is in your solar fourth house of home and family;
accepting your deep feelings increases your sensitivity to others and
deeper ties. Pallas in Libra trines the New Moon, probably indicating
that you may play a greater role as mentor or adviser to family
members.
SCORPIO
- Oct. 23-Nov. 21 – The Moon is in Scorpio Sunday morning.
Exchange a favor Sunday morning with a loved one, possibly a young
niece or cousin. The powerful New Moon on New Year's is in your solar
third house of messages and gadgets; you can ask penetrating
questions that provoke others into new insights, kind of like
Socrates did. Pay attention to the fine print in any contracts
Friday, or take along a confederate who will do so.
SAGITTARIUS
- Nov. 22-Dec. 21 – The Moon is in Sag from 12:37 pm Sunday
till midday Tuesday, New Year's Eve. I would probably skip the
matinee Sunday afternoon. If you are off work Monday, a morning game
of pickup basketball with a friend might be the thing to work off
some of those holiday calories. The powerful New Moon on New Year's
is in your solar second house; you may have to draw upon hidden
talents if you are to transform your financial situation.
CAPRICORN
- Dec. 22-Jan. 19 – The Moon is in Capricorn from 1:01 pm
Tuesday till midday Thursday. Tuesday afternoon favors pipe-dreaming
up your goals for next year. Do some serious wishing on your stars at
11:11 Wednesday morning. Don't be too stingy Wednesday afternoon. The
powerful New Moon on New Year's is in your own sign; “extreme
makeover” might be the keywords for 2014, whether you change your
image, your name or your career. You are likely to dig in your heels
Thursday night.
AQUARIUS
- Jan. 20-Feb. 17 – The
powerful New Moon on New Year's is in your solar twelfth house;
you feel the presence of the
unseen world and of the spiritual dimensions. The
Moon is in Aquarius from 12:03 pm Thursday till midday Saturday. Your
energies are excellent on Friday; you may even do some rock climbing.
Frustrations set in Friday night, tho, so have a Plan B and C.
PISCES
- Feb. 18-March 19 – The powerful New Moon on New Year's is
in your solar eleventh house of groups; you shape the organizations
you belong to into alignment with universal values. The Moon is in
Pisces from 11:58 am Saturday and thru the rest the of the weekend.
You vote for a nice long film festival Saturday afternoon and
evening; take notes on the movies to share with others online!
