Time for Making our Intentions

 

We are moving from a universal 6 year of interdependence with all types of relationships to a universal 7 year of where we may find a more contemplative and reflective tone being expressed in the media as a more philosophical and metaphysical view of the world and world events becomes more commonplace. This can bring about more interest in the areas of religion, spirituality, metaphysics, mystical teachings and the occult as people look to better understand themselves and the world and universe in which they live. This may also bring about an increase and awareness of psychic phenomenon and abilities. Many may find inspiration, guidance and knowledge through dreams, intuition, and the awareness and use of previously unknown personal abilities in the intuitive realm.

 “The seven in the Tarot is the man holding onto the wild horse of his chariot. It often signifies movement while standing still!  Think about that, Standing still and holding the horses that want to run in all directions, builds up the upper torso — the ‘reaching’ part of all of us. This year is about reaching for that something different, that something unique, that expresses our most vital and internal soul and spirit. In order to move forward into new directions, we must develop new skills and practices, changing up our day to day activities to include physical as well as the mental and digital focus that seems to have taken over in recent years”  Georgia Stathis  http://starcycles.com/

As the Sun rose on New Year's Day, January 1, 2014, we experienced a rare New Moon in Capricorn. The last New Moon on a New Year was nineteen years ago. This year is all about new beginnings and the opportunity for us to make a fresh start and to make changes to ourselves and in our lives.

The New Year's chart has another very rare feature. There is a stellium, formed when several planets are in one sign, in the practical and industrious sign of Capricorn with the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Pluto all passing through Capricorn at the same time. 

We have the potentials with the energies of Capricorn to become masters of organization, our thoughts becoming orderly and down to earth. Clear intentions in 2014 are essential, as is alignment between mind, body and soul. The best of Capricorn expresses when the public and private persona is so fully integrated there is no difference between the two.  Capricorn’s end game is to become master of her world without succumbing to the fame, glory and riches that they inevitably bring.

Here are some more observations about the astrological line-up for astrologers to note. Venus is the last planet by degrees in the Capricorn stellium, quite weak in 26 degrees Capricorn retrograde. Venus began its retrograde cycle on Dec. 21, 2013 at 29° Capricorn. The next most important phase is when the transiting Sun conjuncts Venus. It is called the Inferior conjunction and is the mid-point of the retrograde cycle. This occurs on January 11, 2014 at 21°Capricorn at 4:25am PST. Finally, Venus retrograde ends on January 31, 2014 at 13°Capricorn at 12:49pm.

We are all in the process of revising our values regarding who belongs in our life or not. Also, needs and desires are changing in terms of where you spend your money or other cash flow considerations. It's time to come to terms with relationships, what you really value, where is the pleasure in your life. Capricorn is about work, work, work. It is time to find work you like.

 Also mercury is direct in 11 degrees Capricorn, one degree separating from the Sun in 10 degrees. It is out of bounds in 24 degrees, 42 minutes south declination. It is time to transcend boundaries and examine ideas that you have never entertained before. Learn to think outside the box in making decisions.

The energy starts with the New Moon in Capricorn and culminates when the planets move into a perfect cross on April 20-21. This fast-acting cardinal cross in the heavens will start the year off with new opportunities and new possibilities to make change a reality in your life. The cardinal grand cross continues to play out, with the potential for great unrest or downright calamity with, Uranus in Aries, opposite Mars in Libra, Jupiter in Cancer are in opposition to Pluto, the Sun and Mercury in Capricorn.  Then the planets in the cross will be in a challenging square on the 13-14 degrees Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn with Jupiter squares Mars, and Uranus and Pluto square Mars and Uranus.

It will be your time to for change if you have the Sun, Moon, rising sign or any angular planets in the cardinal signs of Aries, Libra, Cancer and Capricorn.

 

Then on the New Moon of January 30 in Aquarius we will move into the year of The Wood Horse which corresponds with the sign Gemini. This means it will be a super active year with many adventures. People will desire to be reckless, romantic, and carefree. Action will be the key word this year.

I always think of the horse, in prophecy, as the white horse Pegasus who represents Christ energy, or Christ consciousness. Isn’t it time for this energy to manifest on Earth. We are the ones we have been waiting for.  Let’s move into action and start shining our light for all to see.

 

 

May Love, light, good health and prosperity

Shine brightly for everyone, everything, everywhere,

in this coming year and remember

the Great Spirit is always watching over us and protecting us
