Capricorn – Rose Rambles…

On October 4th, Pluto, the planet of: death/rebirth, power and intensity, turns direct at 22 degrees of Capricorn. Capricorn, the 10th zodiac sign, is known to rule: structures, obligations, boundaries and control.

Pluto direct in Capricorn is here to encourage your growth and evolution beyond your past fears and blocks.

For the past 6 months while Pluto was in retrograde motion, we were guided to look deep within at the illusion of control in our lives and the limiting beliefs connected to our sense of power.

Some hard truths were faced, and many tower like moments came out of nowhere. Many deaths of the ego emerged, unable to hold their power any longer.

Now with Pluto in direct motion, we will be guided to reclaim that part of ourselves that felt like it died.

There is a resurrection of spirit that is waiting for our call of authenticity and strength. No more settling. No more inauthentic ways of being.

A purification of the soul is now here, ready to emerge with a fighting spirit of willpower and tenacity.

The only way “out” is through.

Pluto direct in Capricorn wants you to remember the diamond in the rough.

That diamond is your heart and its ability to transform in any conditions + under any circumstances.

The planet of transformation direct in Capricorn is here to: move your soul forward with drive + determination, rise up against any blocks + challenges, and burn through the illusions of fear + separation.

Wherever 22 degrees of Capricorn is in your natal chart is where you will see this forward movement + transformation of energy.©

The Sun enters Capricorn on December 21st at 11:19 PM EST. Once again, the wheel of the year turns and we arrive at the longest night.

The Winter Solstice is a time of peak energy (as are all the Solstices and Equinoxes). It is a time of transition – endings and beginnings. During the hours of deepest darkness, you can release old structures and traditions that no longer apply, while looking ahead to days of increasing light and the building of new structures. Or, the reaffirmation of traditions that have kept you safe and solid.

The Winter Solstice is as much about celebrating the darkest time as it is about welcoming the light. Hence the traditional richness of food, drink and fragrance- the heaviness keeps you warm and compliments the darkness, while reminding you that there is more to look forward to.

The Capricorn Sun will be applying to a square with Chiron in Aries, exact on December 23rd. So we can say that this energy defines this year’s Solstice and Capricorn season – the confrontation between limits and wounds, authority and wounds. Thanks to the stellium in Capricorn, this activation of Chiron has been an issue since November 26th (with Venus’ Capricorn ingress). The energy of this Solstice can be considered a powerful turning point, where you confront the tension between responsibilities (Capricorn) versus vulnerabilities (Chiron). Whether you’re struggling to buck the system and break new ground or express your own version of authority, this momentum of endings and beginnings can be used to turn a corner on what hurts. Consider where you are in the battle, and what your next step is. Consider how pain has pushed to you to define certain boundaries, or take responsibility for what hurts.

In general, Capricorn season is about taking stock of responsibilities/traditions and how you express authority (or how you deal with those in authority). It can be a time of solidification or endings. A time when you honour traditions or turn your back on them. When the night is longest, take advantage of the cold stillness (no distractions) and focus on what you’d like to manifest in the upcoming year.

The Sun will exit Capricorn for Aquarius on January 20th, 2020.

Here are the aspects the Sun will make:

Dec 26th: New Moon eclipse (4 deg)

Jan 10th: Full Moon in Cancer (20 deg)
