With Jupiter still close to the Sun, this remains a time of great promise and at the very least you are being protected from the worst effects of any drama or dilemma.
This week is all about mysteries and surprises, which could prove to be thoroughly enjoyable an or anything but. As always with mysterious Neptune, you need to keep anchored to reality because although it feels good to fall under someone’s spell or to live in a magical moment, you don’t want to return to planet Earth and discover something is missing and mistakes have been made.
As far as 🌑new moons go, this is a cracker! Taking place in the area of relationships, it signals a new chapter for an established partnership or a new relationship. But this is not any 🌑new moon, it’s a 🌑new moon conjunct mighty Jupiter. If you are about to marry, join an organization or form a business partnership, the union will be blessed and the hopes you have for the future should prove justified.
I hate to bring the temperature down, but Neptune and Saturn are also angling the 🌑new moon so it will be vital to cross all the Ts and dot all the Is. Leave nothing to chance.
It’s complicated. Jupiter-Neptune combos can be dreamy but they can also be deceptive. Likewise, Sun-Saturn aspects can consolidate and stabilize or they can disappoint and deny. Ideally, this is a period in which to focus on things of the heart and soul and to view any dilemmas and discouraging developments as works-in-progress.
However, it may also behove you to get a second opinion on a matter and to look into the history of a situation. Especially if you have a December birthday or planets and points in early Capricorn what is happening at this time is both fateful and karmic.
Roll out the red carpet. Jupiter is back in town. To be precise, Jupiter returns to the zone of relating after a twelve-year absence. Indeed, looking back to 2013 and its most significant developments could provide a useful guide as to what is to come over the next twelve months. Jupiter expands whatever area it touches so you can look forward to relationship improvements, even marriage or new business partnerships. Not that you’ll see much of that during the coming week.
The cosmos is at sixes and sevens and life accordingly far from smooth-sailing.
Tying up loose ends is best done under such stars. A new cycle is set to begin next week, so clearing up aspects of the past before you can embrace the future should be a welcome prospect. Especially if you have a December birthday or planets in the first degrees of ♑Capricorn, ♈Aries, ♎Libra and ♋Cancer, opportunity is about to knock. You have the reputation for being the zodiac’s rock, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do without love in your life and a decent supporting act.
The time to find that person has come. The time to put love first and pretty well everything second has come.
Tuesday’s 🌑new moon inspires new thinking, which is all a stuck situation might need to shift it in the right direction. Some ♑Capricorns may receive an offer that could involve making sweeping changes in your everyday life while others may be on the receiving end of a volte face.
You are a ♑sign that relies on the tried and tested routes to your objectives and the comfort of the familiar in general, but staying in the same space is not conducive to growth, and this is what this astro-scape offers. Change. Diversity. The shock of the new. Are you up for it?
On Sunday, Saturn enters your fourth solar house, and although it will spend mere months in this area initially, it will be enough to give you an appetizer of its powers. As a child of Saturn, you understand the need for boundaries and the importance of time and timing, but even an expert needs a refresher periodically.
While some ♑Capricorns will put down roots and establish themselves during the next two-plus years, others will meet with obstacles to a happy home life and delays and frustrations in their paths to glory. Maybe both. Right now, you have an opportunity to change course.
There is a difference between a surprise and a shock. Surprises can be lovely; shocks anything but. However, while the first reaction to a development you didn’t expect is often negative, once you’ve had time to think about it, the positives emerge. With this in mind, don’t write off a situation because it hasn’t gone the way you thought it would. Likewise, someone’s actions may belie that fact that their intentions are good.
Monday is 🌕full moon day and with Pluto in the mix, results may not be as you had hoped or a meeting or message could reveal things you had no idea were “cooking”.
You should have no complaints about these stars. The planets are happily engaged and in tandem there will be fewer obstacles in the way of your efforts to achieve, enjoy or create. Indeed, rather than wait and see what the cosmos has to offer, seize the moment and take a punt!
♑Capricorns are the safety experts of the zodiac, the time and motion guys, but occasionally you need to deploy your inner-rebel. Surprise a few people. (Surprise yourself!) But mostly, don’t be trapped by unnecessary doubts and fears. No risk, no reward.
Whatever the appearance of a situation, aim to look behind it. Venus and Neptune combine to make the going very slippery and what may look like a small puddle could be a sink hole. Normally, ♑Capricorn is cautious in the extreme, but under the current planetary patterns you may feel compelled to do something – anything! – about a certain matter.
Add to this the prevailing Mars-Pluto opposition, and finance and self-worth look to be in the mix. Pluto’s job is to reveal what is hidden, and while what emerges at this time could be thoroughly welcome, there’s no guarantee that it will be…
Pluto may no longer be in ♑your sign but it hasn’t left the solar system, and this planet of elimination and creation is centre stage at this time. Events in the world “out there” are likely to be breathtaking, and even if they do not directly affect you, they could cause you to rethink a strategy or two.
Finances are in the mix, whether a major success or windfall is on its way or an unexpected item of expenditure upsets the balance of your account! At the very least, you should pay attention to signs that all might not be well with a situation affecting your finances or your stability and security.
Changes of sign for the Sun and Mars inspire shifts of other kinds, most notably regarding a relationship. Perhaps it is time to forgive and forget or maybe you want to put a love affair on a more permanent footing. Whatever the actual circumstances, you now have less friction to deal with, fewer pressures. However, you may also lack information or feel you’re being sent mixed messages. There are known knowns and known unknowns!
I would say this will work out in time, but with Mars already in the embrace of Pluto, you must be sure you are protecting your assets.
When you see the 🌕full moon over the weekend, remind yourself that this is a period of closure, which can apply to events that end a chapter or a time when you get behind completing projects and ending activities and pursuits that are no longer appropriate. However, for some ♑Capricorns, this 🌕full moon signals a much bigger kind of ending. A home move or a career change.
Certainly, if you have reached a point where everything you have done to avert a particular outcome has not succeeded, it is time to accept the inevitable.
Make someone an offer they cannot refuse. Mars has been working its way through the area of relating since November, which should explain why you have run into walls of opposition from time to time, however, the tide is beginning to turn. People are more prepared to be reasonable, and if you can put forward a good argument, they are likely to agree with you.
This is a favourable period for negotiation and bringing back to the table ideas that were rejected. And even if a meeting does not end in a hand-shake, you will have changed the dynamics of a situation and that could bode well for the future.
As always with Neptune, you cannot be sure whether what is being offered is a blessing or a curse. You simply have to do your homework. This is a complicated astro-scape, made even more potentially life-changing because of Saturday’s 🌑solar eclipse. Could what is happening be the beginning of something great and good? Or are appearances deceptive?
Normally, ♑Capricorn is the soul of caution and this is not the time to forget all those hard-earned lessons. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck… don’t be fooled. Ask for a DNA report.
If you’re not sure quite what to do, join the club. The zodiac club that is. All signs are under the Sun-Neptune conjunction so if you’re not the one weaving the magic and mystery, someone else is doing it, and in plain sight. There is always an upside and a higher vibration to Neptune, but in this current climate, it’s wiser to assume that reality is in short supply.
Fortunately, as a Saturn-ruled earth sign, you will be one of the few to bring reason to bear, whether you do so in regard to a personal matter or in the face of unprecedented world events.
Deal only in the currency of truth.
This could turn out to be one of the most significant weeks of the year. It is far from lightweight, although what happens is not necessarily “bad”. A 🌕total lunar eclipse opposes Saturn on the axis of communications, so whatever is said or done will have lasting consequences.
Journeys may prove lengthy and arduous, although what you find at your destination could be worth every mile of effort. And, of course, it’s not just journeys in miles but those of the heart, mind and experience. Pay particular attention to anything technological or digital – devices may let you down – and get as many of your ducks in a row before Tuesday.
Trust your inner voice. If you sense that a situation is reaching a tipping point or that someone is not exactly in your corner, make your counter moves as soon as you can. Likewise, should you feel that something great and good is about to happen, capitalize on it.
The focus is on both communications and the home base, so don’t be shy about going the distance whether in terms of miles and seeing people in person or putting all your efforts into something or someone you have complete faith in. Next week, getting from A to B could be a little more complicated.
You are the ♑one sign of the zodiac that can thrive on Saturn aspects and you can certainly put any lesson to good use, so this week’s Mercury-Saturn conjunction could turn out to be very timely.
Were you to have continued in a particular direction it would not have been in your best interests, and, even if you are disappointed now, there will be a silver lining. Certainly, there will be something you are not seeing about events at this time. Put it all down to experience and remind yourself that tomorrow is another day.
Movement and change are in the stars. You don’t need to travel far and wide to fulfil this celestial promise – expanding your mind and acquiring a new outlook can be done on home turf. It is easy to say: think beautiful thoughts and life will bring you roses, actually digging yourself out of a trough of trouble and retaining your positivity is hard work.
However, there is reason to be hopeful now, and by focussing on those things that lift your spirits and looking at a situation from a whole different perspective you may be surprised at what happens thereafter.
It’s good to get out of your comfort zone and under these influences roads tend to run out. Quite how this manifests in every ♑Capricorn’s life is going to vary, but the theme is the same: change is necessary if you are to thrive and prosper. Finances could be the main focus for these revolutionary transits, whether you are on the receiving end of a windfall or some other breakthrough or because an unexpected development negatively impacts your finances.
Uranus is the master of diversification so whatever the ups and downs of the week ahead, there is no point looking back: keep your eyes on the future.
Make an investment under these influences and watch it grow. While this may apply to a financial venture it can also relate to an investment of your time, energy and your heart. Strike while the iron is hot, as they say. There could be good news on the work front or you may experience an unexpected surge of optimism.
While these ebullient influences won’t fix everything that is wrong with life and love, a small shift in one situation can have a domino effect. Take the opportunity to make one positive move, even if you’re unsure how it will be received.
Money, money, money. Wednesday’s 🌑new moon in the area of self-worth is a sign of growth and opportunity. A new source of revenue, perhaps, a new way of increasing your income or simply the beginning of a new cycle.
That a Mercury-Pluto conjunction occurs at the same time, however, suggests that before growth can occur, the “dead wood” must be stripped back. It may be that a project has gone as far as it can and is now draining your resources or something you had relied upon is no longer available; either way the answer lies in new directions.
Pluto might have left ♑your sign but it’s not left the solar system. This planet has moved on to the area of self-worth and you may be appreciating its role there at this very moment. Late January is a time when accounts have to be settled, taxes paid and a whole raft of other commitments addressed. It’s not a lot of fun.
Ideally, something has to go at this time, whether it is an old pattern of spending, a financial commitment or something else that is creating imbalance. Aside from finances, it could be time to consider whether a relationship has what it takes to provide the security, stability and happiness you deserve.
Full moons are times of closure, and with Monday’s 🌕full moon on the axis of relationships, it is time to say I do or I don’t! Venus is also conjoined to Saturn, which us helpful if you’re signing up to something you hope will last, but, otherwise, can be a bit of a downer.
Situations often look worse viewed through a Saturnian lens, so do your level best to be realistic not negative. Other people may not be in the mood to compromise and more likely to go on the offensive, so be prepared to talk tough. However, there’s no need to shout.
Just before Mercury enters ♑your sign it squares up to Neptune inviting muddles and mysteries. Maybe it’s the time of year and getting back into the groove is harder than you think. Perhaps messages have gone missing during the holidays and people are still not in communication. As the week goes by, life will get a little more straight-forward, although you might not be able to resolve the one issue you’d really like to resolve.
In this kind of astro-climate, frustrating as it may be, you’ll be better keeping your options open and waiting until you have some hard facts to go on.
The week opens on a 🌑new moon in ♑Capricorn, underscoring the theme of out-with-the-old-and-in-with-the-new. It’s an especially good start to the year if you’re planning a massive “spring-clean”. Mars-Pluto oppositions can be put to good use eliminating the dust and debris of the past. However, if not consciously embraced, this aspect can prove very destructive.
Do your best not to overreact to an unexpected development or to allow a build-up of feelings to erupt in a form that means you have no way back. Least said soonest mended is almost always good advice, but especially under these stars.
You’re going to get to know a lot more about planet Uranus over the coming months, and this week’s Venus-Uranus conjunction could be the curtain-raiser. A sudden change of heart, maybe, a reversal of a decision? On the other hand, you may experience an epiphany that changes the way you look at a certain person or situation.
Venus will be transiting ♊Gemini for most of July, so conditions will be perfect for meeting new love interests and enjoying the fruits of life. Likewise, if there have been hard feelings between you and another person, these can be bridged.
Keep your feet on the ground and your mind focussed on the reality. While there could be a variety of reasons for temporarily losing your bearings, do your level best to remember that what seems to be real in the middle of the night, by morning can look entirely different.
A 🌑new moon conjunct Jupiter and squaring Neptune could add to your bank of happiness, if not your actual bank account, however, there is also a danger of spending today on the promise of tomorrow. Enjoy the beautiful things on offer, but don’t forget there’s a cost to everything.
Neptune has a lot to do with dreams, and with Neptune close to Saturn, the planet of reality, dreams can come true but they can also turn out to be baseless. With this in mind, focus your efforts on your ambitions and desires but before you do so, make sure you have put in the groundwork.
Finances could be in the mix here so that lack of money or poor financial advice could get in the way of the fulfilment of a personal or business project. What you must also watch out for is false information. Get everything in writing before you invest time, energy and your heart in an endeavour.
Jupiter may be leaving ♊your sign but it is moving on to the area of self-worth where it will prove very useful indeed. For the next twelve months, Jupiter will encourage growth: helping increase your income and placing fewer obstructions in your path to material stability. On the other hand, a situation that is causing concern could spiral out of control, which is why this could turn out to be a crucial period of 2025. This is the moment to stop throwing good money after bad, so to speak.
Wednesday’s🌕 full moon falls on the relationship axis and it is another sign that one or more situations is at a tipping point.
Just before Jupiter leaves b#9802;your sign it conjoins Mercury, your ruling planet. This is not exactly one last hurrah, but it could be the time one of your ships finally comes in. Next week, the only 🌕full moon in ♐Sagittarius this year takes place and like all 🌕full moons it completes a cycle, so events this week are likely to form part of that end-of-a-chapter process.
Take the time to reach out to people and, especially if there has been some difficulty in negotiating a settlement or coming to an agreement, make a concerted attempt to talk the talk.
With rare exceptions, you only get one 🌑new moon in ♊your sign each year, and this year’s ♊Gemini 🌑new moon takes place on Tuesday. New beginnings, new chapters, fresh starts and windows of opportunity are signalled by the 🌑new moon, and at some point during the course of the next two weeks such possibilities should become realities. Then again, why wait and see what the cosmos can produce and instead set something you need or desire in motion. Ride this big beautiful wave!
Jupiter has but one week left in ♊your sign, so use its power to manifest while it is supercharged.
On Tuesday, the Sun enters ♊your sign, theoretically bringing light and energy into your life. In practice, it may take a few days before you realize you are back in the driver’s seat. Mercury and Uranus combine to shake you out of any sense of complacency, whether you hear news that challenges your perception of a situation or you experience a eureka moment.
In a few weeks’ time, Uranus will enter ♊your sign, so what happens now could be seen as a preview of things to come. Uranus often appears in the guise of the cosmic joker, so be prepared to have the rug gently pulled out from beneath you!
♊Geminis thrive on variety and change, especially when they are the one behind any changes. However, you may not have a choice as to what comes or goes at this time. Pluto and Uranus are directing traffic, so not only may factors come to light that alter your opinion of someone or something, but the speed and suddenness of events may take your breath away.
As usual, there is no way of knowing whether what happens now will be thrilling or inconvenient but these developments have not come out of nowhere. They’ve been marinating for a while.
With just one month to go with Jupiter in ♊your sign, if you’ve got a favour to ask or an ambition to fulfil, don’t lose any time. Jupiter can, of course, produce lucky breaks all by itself, and especially if you have a mid-to-late June birthday, the best of this planet is yet to come. What you bring into being on a Jupiter transit to ♊your Sun can be added to in the following twelve months.
Health is also in the mix, and if you’re worried about anything or ignoring a minor irritation, sort it before next Monday’s 🌕full moon brings simmering issues to the bubble.
Events may defy logic, so don’t waste time trying to figure out why someone has acted in a certain fashion or a situation has turned out the way it has. There is still time for things to change yet again, although it’s going to take a while, perhaps by mid-October. Pluto is turning retrograde, and like a mighty ocean-going vessel performing a 180-degree turn, it doesn’t happen in a heartbeat. You need to get into a different space and by the time you do things will look very different.
This is a period of confusion and chaos for the planet, and even if you feel on top of situations, you should assume nothing is hard set.
Whatever you have scheduled for the week ahead, give yourself some wiggle room. There could be unexpected developments, whether they be weather-driven or down to human error. It’s not often we see such transformational alignments and even if the week appears to go by with nothing of note for you, there’ll be plenty happening elsewhere.
Push comes to shove under influences like these, so you may finally get the energy and the courage to do what you’ve been meaning to do for ages or events will act as a spur to transforming one or more aspects of your existence.
If you’re thinking of leaving the rat race or at least taking some time out, obey your intuition. On Saturday, the Sun begins its journey through the house of secrets and shadows, earmarking a period of rest, retreat and recuperation. Things may not be as clear as they could be right now, so putting some distance between you and a situation is a good strategy.
It may be tempting to keep your hand on the tiller, but you are more likely to make errors. Some things have their own momentum and the more you try to control them, the more likely they are to backfire on you.
Realizations and reckonings indeed. On Monday, Mercury turns direct getting you back on track and easing the wheels of commerce and communication. However, at the same time, Venus conjoins Saturn bringing reality to bear, although not necessarily a painful reality.
There is more than a sense of an ending to these influences, making it a good time to seal a deal and/or to walk away from a situation that has done its day. What these alignments also do is inspire closure to what has been a volatile and ground-breaking few weeks.
With the recent 🌑solar eclipse behind you, those things that have been in the shadows should be revealing themselves. What may have seemed an unwelcome development could in fact be an opportunity and what you assumed to be a minor aberration could be a sign of something much greater. We are indeed living in interesting times. You may be working on a group project at the moment or meeting with like-minded people in which case you will benefit from the company you are keeping.
And if you’re wondering why you’re not making as much progress as you hoped with an endeavour, maybe it’s time to get more hands on deck.
With Neptune continuing to be in pride of place, expect to be confused. People could be sending mixed signals or you could be in two minds about a situation. And to add to the sense of things being “up in the air”, Mercury is retrograde. Now, none of this need interfere with special events that lie ahead – you just need to be a little more flexible and resourceful – but it would be wise to follow up any red flags. That way you know you haven’t missed something or are in danger of heading down a cul-de-sac.
Saturday’s 🌑solar eclipse falls in your eleventh house, so a new enterprise could be on its way or a development that will affect the future of a friendship or collaboration.
It doesn’t get more confusing than this. A Sun-Venus-Neptune conjunction at the same time as Mercury is retrograde. Plus, we are in between 🌕🌑eclipses. And anything and everything can happen at such a time.
While events in the world are changing the shape of the world, you could also be working your way through a period of great change. It doesn’t have to be “bad” but whatever is happening to you needs to be carefully examined before you make a definitive move. There is more to situations than meets the eye. Especially if you have a birthday on or near 18 June or planets and points at 29 degrees of the mutable signs (♊Gemini, ♐Sagittarius, ♍Virgo and ♓Pisces) things are not as they seem.
Friday’s 🌕eclipse flanks your life-direction axis and it may well bring to an end a period of uncertainty. You’re going to get some answers; the results are in. On the other hand, a situation could develop out of nowhere throwing out your timetable, if not a lot more besides. 🌕Eclipses are like that. They’re game-changers.
This would be the perfect time to close a deal or to end a contract, and even if you do neither of these things, the decisions you reach in your own mind will have the effect of ending a chapter in order to open a new one. Everything happens for a reason.
If you know a storm is coming, you plan accordingly and with Mercury turning retrograde next week, plus a 🌕total lunar eclipse, dealing with loose ends and making sure you have appointments booked and plans locked down is what you might call a good idea.
The Moon will be in ♊your sign mid-week making this the best time to exert your influence and to make headway in general. Not normally given to a glass-half-empty attitude, you could be looking at a situation a little too darkly. There is a big difference between being realistic and being negative.
Why couldn’t things be easier, I hear you say. The trouble is when you’ve got competing influences of entirely opposite natures, either one aspect of existence is going swimmingly and another in the weeds or one situation is sending mixed messages. Knowing what you want in your heart is always a good first step, then you can start figuring out the best strategy.
Sometimes what starts out as one thing turns into something else, which is baffling, but what it is now is the reality. Don’t make excuses for someone’s behaviour or try to explain why you aren’t feeling the same as you once did.
On Tuesday, the Sun moves to the midheaven of your solar chart in preparation for a month of important developments, first and foremost in regard to your career and ambitions. There will be a 🌕lunar eclipse on the axis of life-direction in three weeks’ time, so signs and signals should be noted and acted upon.
Jupiter (in ♊your sign) is currently well-placed for you to make moves intended to add to your bank of happiness and success, and any offer or idea floated now should be taken seriously. While you could simply enjoy what life has to offer, if you have concerns about your future, it is time to get moving and motoring.
Uranus is tucked away in the shadows of the twelfth house, but in July it will enter ♊your sign setting a new era in motion. This planet of revolution is at full throttle this week, so signs of change, whether in someone’s behaviour or the direction in which an endeavour was heading, should be noted but not necessarily addressed head on. However, for some ♊Geminis, an unexpected development could derail a project or at least bring a temporary halt to it.
Wednesday’s 🌕full moon cuts across the axis of travel and communication pointing to the end of a journey in miles or experience.
Jupiter in ♊your sign turns direct and over the course of the next four months could deliver a bumper bundle. This is the moment to reboot your ambitions and desires and to seek out the positives in situations.
From Thursday through Friday, the Moon will also be in ♊your sign empowering you and helping overcome obstacles and make headway all round. We don’t often get all the green lights on at once, but this is one such week. Even if you experience a failure or a disappointment, it contains the seed of future happiness and success.
While the Sun makes its annual journey through the area of far horizons, you can benefit from travelling to distant parts or acquiring distance and perspective from complex issues. There could be unexpected developments in a legal matter or with people in foreign places or an international organization may play a surprising part in what unfolds.
Jupiter is harmoniously linked to Wednesday’s 🌑new moon so you are not without supporters and backers. Even if you are not thrilled with this week’s developments, something great and good will happen as a result of them.
You cannot travel lightly lugging a whole lot of baggage. Not only is this a fact but a metaphor for life. Tuesday’s Sun-Pluto conjunction takes place in the zone of far horizons, so getting rid of baggage may well apply to long-distance travel or journeys in general. However, we are living in unprecedented times and all of us are being encouraged to shed ideas, beliefs and aspects of our existence that are holding us back, so it may help to look at the more challenging situations you are currently facing in that light.
You don’t need everything you think you need.
There are going to be a lot of grumpy people to deal with so gird up your lions and don’t fall at the first fence. Life may look bleak under these stars, but like anything of a Saturnian nature, once you start working on those things that aren’t working life will start to feel lighter and brighter. It may be apparent that a situation cannot continue in its present form and you must decide whether to pour more energy, time and money into it or cut your losses.
Whatever you decide, don’t allow your emotions to influence your decision. Facts talk. Figures speak.
Now is the time to do the sums. There may still be a few weeks before the cost of Christmas past comes knocking at the door, but you could save yourself a whole lot of hassle by acting now. And the same advice applies to a situation that is puzzling you. Not all the facts are available at present but if someone has been fobbing you off with their response or you sense that a change of heart could have occurred, explore your options should your doubts be confirmed.
There’s no need to become paranoid, it’s about getting your ducks in a row, and then not having to think about them.
This is one of the more powerful starts to a new year. Old orders get swept away and the road ahead prepared for the new and the very different. You yourself may be behind such a process and looking forward to the big changes that lie ahead, but it is worth being prepared for events you did not expect.
Tempers get frayed easily in such an astro-climate, so avoid issuing ultimatums and do your best not to escalate hostilities. Allow this influence to get rid of what you don’t need, not what you will need in the future.
