Hello again magical bitches! My brain is overwhelmed with astrology so I’ll skip the small talk this week.
The highlight of this week is the New Moon in Capricorn. But before I dive into that, I want to touch on some other things I see.
There’s a definite theme of “Mission” and “Soul Purpose” in the undercurrents of this week’s astrology. Not only is Vesta pretty active this week, there’s also several aspects to the North Node of fate. Vesta brought all her goddess friends too. In addition to some aspects to each other, the Sun aspects Vesta, Eris, Pallas and Juno…and when the Sun makes an aspect, it’s a big deal. The goddesses almost seem to be getting a blessing from the Sun. Not all of those aspects are easy ones, so the goddesses have to make some corrections to their plans before launching them. Venus is prominent again this week, suggesting that we are evaluating our values, as well as our innate value.
Monday Venus sextiles Chariklo, which gives us diplomacy skills. Mercury squares Neptune and Neptune squares Vesta, so there is general confusion, and confusion about “the mission”. Mercury is opposite Vesta, suggesting there might be a fork in the road. Pallas quincunxes the North Node. Pallas is skilled, strategic, genius, and focused. The North Node is our “destiny” (which is a heavy word, but I do believe we have free will in how we get there.) But a quincunx means an adjustment is needed. We must deal with our shadows and insecurities before we set off on our quest.
Ok so that’s Monday. Yeah, it’s a busy week…
Tuesday the Sun trines Uranus and Mars sextiles Saturn. The former is about free expression of our uniqueness. The latter is drive and determination, as well as perseverance.
Wednesday the Sun squares the North Node, suggesting that there are obstacles on the path to success and we might be a little complacent and resistant to the changes needed to move ahead. (UGH!)
Thursday Venus trines Chiron, indicating that love heals and needs to be healed. Our girl Eris stations direct, but I don’t really find Eris’s orbit super meaningful. In this case I feel like she’s rallying the girls together to discuss the “mission”. Watch out world. I think something is coming.
The New Moon is also on Thursday. This is the first New Moon of the year and sets the tone to some degree. She’s in Capricorn at 20°. We can utilize this energy to create structure and firm foundations so we can get shit done. Set ambitious intentions and work on manifesting things you want to work with long term. Capricorn is committed. Your action is also required, as this is Capricorn, ruled by taskmaster Saturn. You can manifest all day long but you have to take some small steps in the right direction. The New Moon is trine Uranus, so expect the unexpected. She’s also sextile Pallas, trine Juno, square Eris, and quincunx Vesta. This is such a power meeting of the goddesses! They obviously don’t all agree, but that’s why they are coming together - to get on the same page. Something significant is going on with womanhood, which is obvious AF in the United States, as well as Iran, and let’s face it, everywhere! The Rise of the Feminine is not finished!
Friday the goddesses make several aspects to each other and Mars trines Jupiter, which gives us a competitive drive. The Sun trines Juno and sextiles Pallas. The former gives us freer expression within our relationships and the latter gives us a channel to use our talents for social change!
Saturday Mercury re-enters Capricorn, post retrograde. Communication and ideas can really gain footing and move forward now. Vesta also sextiles Eris, indicating they are aligning more on how to achieve the mission.
Sunday Venus trines the North Node, and this is interesting because it indicates that others can recognize your talents and potential. It’s one thing for us to know ourselves. It’s another level of empowerment when other people validate us. Venus also quincunxes Uranus and this is a vibe of not wanting to be too entangled with other people’s energy but finding it somewhat unavoidable…ring ring…your calling is calling. Finally the Sun quincunxes Vesta and squares Eris. The former indicates your ego is in the way of fully being on your path. The latter is a catalyst for change. Embrace the disruptive energy. Use the tension and discomfort of the square to solve the problem. The Sun is only square to Eris twice a year, once at 22° of Capricorn and again at 22° of Cancer. In Cap, these disruptions affect our public persona, identity and the structures confining us as women. In Cancer, she asks us to question our roles as mothers.
This week she is really stirring things up, and bringing all her badass girls with her to the party. As we set our intentions for this Capricorn New Moon, let’s envision a foundation that is not built on repression, alienation, judgement, and control, but one of empowerment, equality, and acceptance. Imagine a world where we reminded each other of our strengths instead of stepping on each other’s heads to get up the ladder. It does sound a little pie-in-the-sky, but that's because we are so drenched in the sludge of the toxic, hyper- masculine patriarchy that we have forgotten anything else. Dare to dream! No matter your gender, surround yourself with strong, confident feminine energy and see what happens. Pick a goddess and study her this week, or maybe all year. It is amazingly inspirational and empowering.
I think I will build on last week’s “word for the year”. As I read them in order, it almost feels like a life story. Check this out and see if it doesn’t make you think of life cycles: destiny, experiment, potential, quiet, independent, explore, adventure, connection, develop, liberation, renaissance, prioritize. To me it feels like this, and I didn’t intend this: you’re born, you’re a toddler trying everything, you’re a grade schooler where you really start to show your stuff, you’re a teen in your room 20 hours a day, you go to college, you’re now an adult with the freedom to do what you want, now you have responsibilities (ain’t that an adventure?!), then you meet your people &, maybe find love, you develop a relationship with yourself and others, you learn how to heal and free yourself from some of your wounds (your 40’s?), you rediscover yourself (your 50’s?), then you get your shit in order (maybe lather,rinse, repeat). Wow. unintended profundity!
I’m going to build on that, and I’m also feeling really called to work with the “dark” feminine this week so I may include a goddess as part of this week’s scopes, with a focus on the New Moon in Capricorn as our ever practical and grounded guide for the year…
