This is our last week of Capricorn. The Sun enters Aquarius next Wednesday, Jan. 20. Then we will enter the Gate of Aquarius, sign of World Servers. Capricorn prepares us for the final two zodiacal signs. Aquarius, where we ‘serve.” And Pisces, where we “save.” Each of the signs impacts our evolutionary journey offering new revelations and new tasks. The twelve zodiacal signs, twelve Labors of Hercules, the Seven Rays and the twelve planets are dedicated to humanity’s enlightenment, upliftment and evolution (Path of Return). Together they form the “Lighted Way.”
Capricorn, sign of the mountaintop, offers us the truth about our origins and identity. We are the Daughters and Sons of God, imbued with love, intelligence, courage and strength. We are together Servers and Saviors of humanity. We are the Diamond Light. After a long journey (Aries to Capricorn) we reached the mountaintop, resting in the light of the Rising Sun. Gradually, from the valleys below, we began to hear increasingly the cries of suffering humanity. Eventually and together, we realized when Capricorn ended, we would return to Earth to help humanity. Our words as Disciples this week absorbing the Light of the Sun is, ”Next week we re-enter the Cancer Gates – returning to form and matter. Then the Gate of Aquarius appears, Aquarius, where we Serve humanity. On the mountaintop, and on this last week of Capricorn, our words as Disciples, speaking together, absorbing the Light of the Rising Sun are, “Lost are we in Light Supernal yet we know that on this Light we will turn our backs.” Entering Aquarius, to serve. And later, Pisces, to save.
We remember the words of the great leader, Martin Luther King, Jr. (Capricorn), “I have been to the mountaintop & I’ve seen the future (the Promised Land).” King possessed the qualities of the Disciple – joy, courage, vision, insight and steadfast devotion to the people. King, with the one-pointed focus of the unicorn, was also the “scapegoat, the sacrificial lamb and the awakened one.” (MLK birthday is observed Monday, Jan. 18.)
ARIES: Your communications and work in the world will be redefined. In the past you have been recognized for your initiating leadership. Now, newer and bolder steps will be called for in creating the new world. You are to assess how, what, when, where and with whom. You will define the context. Tend to everyone with compassion and understanding care. What real leaders do.
TAURUS: You become a bit more philosophical, ponder upon higher education, read more and observe life from an ever-widening lens. Some will become or interact with lawyers, priests, adventurers, philosophers, writers and intellectuals. All previous beliefs will be challenged. Meaningful events and people enter your life. You embrace them. You study entrepreneurship. Serving the world in new ways, with new values.
GEMINI: Saturn is restructuring and redefining your relationships perhaps through some sort of possible change, loss, separation or marriage. Or perhaps you are simply going to redefine what relationships mean and redefine your relationship behaviors. In partnerships you come closer or remain apart. If choosing, align with the Will-to-Good. This provides strength and Right Choice.
CANCER: You will find yourself re-assessing all relationships. You made decisions this past year concerning how you will (or will not) interact with others. A great silence has descended upon you concerning some people. This may not be the best decision. There needs to be more fairness. It’s time to create new ways to interact. The old way is too much of a struggle. Don’t perpetuate it. Practice ahimsa.
LEO: Your everyday tasks, agendas and work will be reassessed to understand fully what needs to be accomplished, completed, creating priorities and ascertaining who can help. During the next four months the art of Right Relations in daily life becomes important, along with health matters. You find you’re efficient in both. Most important is kindness and care for your health.
VIRGO: It’s good to clearly recognition what inspires you. In the coming months you will notice your creativity comes from various sources: early childhood, intimacy, relationships, love affairs, long ago conversations, and while walking here and there in local neighborhoods. Be aware, careful and practical with all resources. Prepare for the upcoming tax season. Organize your many papers into files.
LIBRA: You may find yourself turning from the outer world to face your inner world – which becomes your sanctuary and refuge. It’s at home where you feel deep safety and where build a firm foundation. You remember many things – your childhood home, both good and difficult. Forgiveness is important here. Some Libras redecorate. Some attend culinary school. A new beginning and a self-redefining follow.
SCORPIO: In the next four months or so notice your value. They are being redesigned. As the retrogrades continue you question and ascertain exactly what money and resources mean to you. You’ll seek ways of solidifying and building on what you already have. When we have constant gratitude, what we have becomes enough. A love of something new emerges. It makes you happy.
SAGITTARIUS: A great inward shift is occurring. You will encounter all that’s been hiding, all of your past, anything emotional that has upset you in the past twenty-eight years. You’ll discover habits that no longer work, fears you thought were left behind, and a litany of actions needing assessments. All these you’ll tend to as a warrior. The purpose is complete restructuring of self so your future has a solid (brilliant) foundation.
CAPRICORN: Happy Birthday, Capricorn (sign of the unicorn). Your birthday should last all month. We realize how dedicated you’ve been in helping others succeed. Outline what you need to feel rewarded and recognized professionally, socially and monetarily. Your life direction begins to emerge and soon a foundation is built toward new goals. Life changes. Stay with that change and summon the Angel of Beauty.
AQUARIUS: A new 12-year cycle begins for you as the past 12 years disappear. Your appearance and how others perceive you will change. All your virtues are to shine forth. You may feel quite solitary at times. The next four months are times of retreat; caring for, reinventing and improving the self. Tend to self with care.
PISCES: I wish much for you; that your hopes, wishes and dreams be fulfilled. In the coming months certain groups of people with specific ideas are of interest to you. Be discriminating. You aspire to serve humanity by creating a new Center of Light, Education & Healing in the world. This liberates humanity. You seek to manifest these aspirations. You will be tested as to your seriousness. New structures will be formed. Success follows.
