No doubt all are aware that Saturn and Pluto now leisurely saunter through Capricorn. And most know the south lunar node is there. Some realize that eleven days ago the formidable planet Ceres entered Capricorn. A worthy point of note is that the centaurs Pholus and Hylonome also occupy the domain of the seagoat.
Likely many were not excited that Venus climbed over the Capricorn cusp this very day. Will many favor Jupiter’s ingress into Capricorn come 3 December? Then, the annual passage of the Sun and Mercury in Capricorn clicks in. At least on the solstice Venus is good enough to seek the waters of Aquarius a day or so before the Sun reaches Capricorn. Following the other personal planets, Mars engages Capricorn, where he is exalted, in February. While Ceres and the inner planets have departed the sign at this time, Pholus, Hylonome, Saturn, Pluto and the south node accompany Mars during his six-week tenure.
Wait, Pholus and Hylonome? What in the Plutonian underworld do they mean in Capricorn? Glad you asked:
Pholus - Establish a healthy and practical guide to food, drink and celebration. Ask when about to consume, does this nurture me? Do I want it really? Do I need it? Can I benefit from this consumption? Checklist complete, enjoy!
Hylonome - Consider elements of embarrassment, shame and grief that may lurk in the shadows of the psyche. Do they continue to serve your evolution? If not, take them out behind the woodshed, purge them, and bury the remains.
Now some might be thinking with Venus in Capricorn during the great holiday sales that others will not splurge and get you what you really, really want for the holidays. No worries. If that great gift serves the purposes of progress and supports your spirit’s travels in life, you can easily justify such a purchase on your own. And oh, by the way, my Holiday Sale continues only through the 30th! Here’s a link for the sale. And oh, BTW, the Eris-Sedna ephemeris on sale has been popular. Don’t be left out. Eris is all about being included.
Ceres in Capricorn might seem like a bit of a bugger-boo. Not really. During this transit she aligns with Pluto, with whom she holds classic mythic contention. During this transit Jupiter follows her progress in Capricorn. Not only did Jupiter sort the dispute between Ceres and Pluto, astronomical evidence indicates that early in the days of Creation, Jupiter escorted Ceres, who is substantially more potent than other planets when considering her relative physical characteristics, from the Kuiper Belt to her current orbital domain in the Asteroid Belt.
With Ceres in Capricorn, advocate for efficiency, economy and evolution in each and every task you undertake. Consider if the challenge at hand is worthy of engagement. You know, pick your battles. Ultimately everything you do needs to escort the fundamental purpose of your incarnation down the road a piece.
Now with the node, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn (maybe refer back to my post of 4 November, 20-20 Planet Vision), and given the increasing franticness of the holiday season, I’ll compress and condense the essence of the above Capricorn travelers into a concise consciousness checklist. So here we go:
> Prioritize. Make every intended task important and evolutionary. Assign ordered criticality.
> Believe in it. Get down into the grit of consciousness. Make sure your psyche wraps around tasks and agendas with fevered determination.
> Budget it. Assess in terms of money required, of course. More important, measure the timeline and plot according as you simultaneously evaluate the energy required for task completion.
> Evaluate your endgame. Beside yourself and your personal evolution, who benefits from the tasks at hand and those you’re fixing to engage? Can you entice and represent the benefits to those potential users? Have you included everyone who might gain from your effort?
> Execute. Kick off all tasks within the ebullience of the optimistic wave that accompanies conscious creation. Start on time given the intended completion time. This is a hesitation-prohibited zone.
> Fortify, foster and nurture. Along the way, eat properly. Quality food is always worth the cost. Take your supplements. Exercise. Work hard. Play plentifully. Rest well.
> Petition and Pray. Make your appeals and offerings to the Universe well known. Start by what it is that you’re going to do to create dharma and please the Heavens. Then, ask for what you need to accomplish those tasks.
> Persist in the face of overwhelm. Every day start fresh. Create a morning drill that clears mundane debris, refocuses your intentions, then inspires your spirit’s spark to strike.
Yes, it’s Capricorn time. It is not stingy... it is frugal. It is not denying... it is supportive and providing to all things of purpose. It is not hopelessly locked on the mundane... it holds vision as if standing on the most panoramic pinnacle possible to consider dominion. It is not negative... it is uplifting, encouraging and endorsing of all who express gratitude not only for what they have received and currently hold, but for those things that are yet to come.
More soon.
