New Moon on Monday Astrology

Happy Spring Equinox y’all ~ 

Is anybody else having a hard time getting started? Today’s the first day of the Astrological New Year - but we’re still in the Dark of the Moon.  That’s the last couple of days before the Moon turns new again each month, and they’re typically sluggish and slow.  Add Mercury, Mars, and Saturn all Retrograde - and things aren’t moving quite as fast as the Sun in Aries would prefer.  

Last year at this time, there was all sorts of crazy rush it up go go go movement going on in Aries.  This year, things are still building their momentum. 

Just wait for it.  Thursday morning’s New Moon in Aries will kick off a chain of events that won’t seem to stop until the Springtime’s over. We’re definitely in for some interesting times.  In the meantime, just keep getting ready.  Mercury returns to forward motion on April 4 and Mars does the same (thankfully) about a week after that.  That’s when everything really starts to move again. Start preparing now, and you’ll have absolutely no problems keeping up. 

Cheers!

Jupiter will return to forward motion on Christmas Sunday afternoon (2:09 pm pacific daylight time). 

Jupiter’s my favorite planet. When Jupiter’s going right it can feel just like Santa Claus. 

That’s some rad synchronicity, right?

Happy Christmas, y’all.

Jupiter represents expansion. 

It’s big and buoyant and generous and ready for anything.  Jupiter brings growth to the planets and points it touches.  That can mean luck but also just exaggeration. 

Jupiter is always optimistic. 

The glyph for Jupiter is the crescent of spirit over the cross of matter: 

Jupiter rules Sagittarius, the 9th sign, and the 9th House, which is the House of higher education, foreign travel, philosophy, experience and beliefs.  Religion falls in the 9th House.  So does Rock and Roll. 

Jupiter typically spends about a year in each sign, and begins a new cycle every 12 years.  Your Jupiter Return, the beginning of the cycle is always an auspicious time. 

Jupiter in your chart shows where you do things way big.  It can also be where you’re lucky - not necessarily in windfall ways, but where it seems like something’s always looking out for you.  But remember, that luck can easily be turned into exacerbation of a problem if the energy is directed in the wrong ways. 

Since Jupiter typically spends a year travelling through each sign, people who were born in the same year will most likely have Jupiter in the same sign.  

Here are some absolutely oversimplified ways Jupiter might manifest through the signs or houses: 

Jupiter in Aries (or the 1st House): Big Personality

Jupiter in Taurus (or the 2nd House): Expensive Taste

Jupiter in Gemini (or the 3rd House): Big Talker

Jupiter in Cancer (or the 4th House): Big House

Jupiter in Leo (or the 5th House): Epic Creativity

Jupiter in Virgo (or the 6th House): Health Nut and/or Hyper-Organized

Jupiter in Libra (or the 7th House): Epic Romance

Jupiter in Scorpio (or the 8th House): Big Inheritance

Jupiter in Sagittarius (or the 9th House): Big Adventure

Jupiter in Capricorn (or the 10th House): Big Responsibility

Jupiter in Aquarius (or the 11th House): Utopian Beliefs

Jupiter in Pisces (or the 12th House): Epic Empathy

Right now Jupiter is about to turn from retrograde to forward motion at the first degree of Taurus- more about that tomorrow.  Jupiter will remain in Taurus until June of 2012. Wherever (what House) Taurus is located in your chart is where you’re about to see a big growth in your circumstances. 

Get Lucky,

The SUN enters CAPRICORN tonight at 9:30 pm (pacific standard time). 

Capricorn is the Cardinal Earth sign. It’s ambitious and conservative and it likes results.  Ruled by Saturn, Capricorn is sober and serious - but it also has a wonderfully sarcastic side. Capricorns can be some of the funniest people you know.  

Capricorn rules the 10th House - the house of reputation and career and authority figures.  It’s very concerned with success, and it wants to demonstrate that success in outward ways.  Capricorn is all about working hard to achieve things.  Capricorn earns it. But Capricorn also has a slightly magical side.  It’s represented by the Sea Goat, a creature from fairy tales. It’s just incredibly choosy about who it shares that with.  

Here are some absolutely oversimplified ways planets and points might manifest when they fall in Capricorn (or the 10th House, or have significant contact with Saturn):

The Sun: Most Likely to Succeed

The Moon: Serious Side

Mercury: Conserves Words

Venus: Natural (Earthy) Beauty

Mars: Workaholic

Jupiter: Hard Luck

Saturn: Great Expectations

Uranus: Question Authority  *Uranus was in Capricorn between 1988 and 1996 - so if you were born during those years you probably have this placement.  

Neptune: Blurred Boundaries *Neptune was in Capricorn between 1985 and 1998 so if you were born during those years you most likely have this placement.

Pluto: Fixing the Cracks… Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008.  Before that, it hadn’t been in the sign since the American Revolution.  Pluto in Capricorn has everything to do with the things our world has been going through these past four years, especially the money stuff.  Lots more on that to come. 

Hold Your Head Up High,

VENUS moves into AQUARIUS this morning/early afternoon (at 10:26 am pacific standard time, 1:26 pm on the East coast). 

Venus is values, it’s what we’re attracted to.  Aquarius is the Fixed Air sign, it needs its freedom and its individuality.  Venus in Aquarius likes things a little weird.  

Venus is moving faster than the Sun right now, and has only been in Capricorn for a little over three weeks.  That sobered up everybody’s aesthetics and had us valuing ambition.  Venus in Capricorn shops high-end. 

Venus in Aquarius is more like a thrift store, or a vintage boutique.  Venus in Aquarius is good weather for showing off your stranger sides.  Venus in Capricorn keeps up with the Jones’s, it likes to fit in.  Venus in Aquarius is the exact opposite: she marches to her own drum and kinda likes being the freak. 

Venus in Aquarius will be making a square to Jupiter in Taurus later on this evening (6:21 pm pst).  That’s the kind of energy that could exaggerate circumstances with the love stuff or lead to all sorts of excess.  A sextile between Venus and the planet Uranus (the planet that rules Aquarius) late tonight (11:57 pm pst) throws a wild card into the mix.  Be ready for surprises. 

Venus will be in Aquarius until Friday, January 13th.
