Capricorn reading and planetary transits for
the week of September 5, 2010. MOON IN EIGHTH
The eighth house is Pluto's natural house and one of the keywords for Pluto is intensity. This will intensify the emotional reactions of the Moon during this transit. Added to this we have some very emotionally charged issues represented in the eighth house – money and sex = power. Remember also, Capricorn, that this is one of the houses of the unconscious and responses here, as with the Moon, may be linked to our past. This could manifest as emotionally gratifying unions with our intimate partners, but sometimes these issues can lead to difficulties. If problems should arise, Capricorn, we should attempt to look within ourselves for these answers instead of immediately placing the blame on others. The emotionally charged issues of sex and money can act as doorways or catalysts to self-examination of our expectations and needs. This could act as an aid to transformation – another keyword for Pluto. This transformation could help us to feel more control over our responses, Capricorn, and actually that is all we can control anyway.
MOON IN NINTH
September 7, 2010 The transit of the Moon through the ninth house may mark a period of restlessness for us. This may be more of a mental or spiritual restlessness rather than an urge for travel. A new area of study may come to our attention that offers emotional gratification, Capricorn, but this could also be a time when our religious or spiritual pursuits may offer the same sort of satisfaction.
MOON IN TENTH
September 9, 2010 The tenth house is related to our career and our public image. This may be a time when we are more emotionally in tune with those we come in contact with in our career. Keep in mind that emotions are on public display at this time as well, Capricorn, so any displays of emotion you may want to ensure are appropriate for the moment. This may be a time when we reveal more about ourselves through emotional reactions than we wish to. The tenth house also represents the dominant parent and could indicate some interaction with this parent at this time. Since career is tied in here, we might also find ourselves questioning whether our choice of career was to please ourselves or to inadvertently gain the approval of a parent.
MOON IN ELEVENTH
September 11, 2010 The eleventh house contains friends, professional organizations, and our hopes, wishes and goals in life. With the Moon transiting the eleventh house we may find our emotions coming into play in any of these areas. As always, Capricorn, watch for inappropriate emotional responses and, as with all transits of the Moon, this could be an indication of females or at least one woman playing a larger role in this area now. This could be a time of connecting with friends on a deeper level, Capricorn, and further strengthening the bonds between us. It could also indicate a time when we are apt to examine our goals, dreams and objectives to find how to better make these dreams a reality, or to determine if they are unrealistic after all. In any of these areas, Capricorn, as with all lunar transits, we should watch for emotional responses that stem from our past and may have little to do with the present situation. This will almost guarantee an inappropriate response to the present moment. If this should be the case, do not despair, Capricorn. As with all transits of the Moon, this can give us a window into the past so that we can adjust our behavior and responses to the present moment and free ourselves from negative response patterns.
SUN IN NINTH
The ninth house includes higher education, the higher courts, religion, philosophy, ethics, long-distance journeys, publishing, foreigners and so forth. When the Sun transits the ninth house, it is these issues that we may expect to be highlighted. This could indicate a time when we might consider furthering our education as well as publishing something we are knowledgeable about. Journeys undertaken at this time, Capricorn, are likely to be of good distance and possibly outside the borders of our native country. These trips, in all likelihood, will teach us something about other people, cultures and languages, even if that may not have been our original intent. This is a good time for learning or deciding to take up the study of something we find interesting. Dealing with foreigners may lead to business efforts in the import/export trade. Religion or metaphysical studies may pique our interest at this time and we may also have dealings with the law for some reason. We are inclined to be more active at this time, just as the third house opposite this house deals with travel but, usually in the ninth house, over much longer distances. Capricorn, this is a time to open our minds to what the world around us might teach us.
MERCURY IN NINTH
Retrograde Until September 12, 2010 When Mercury transits the ninth house, any or all of the issues contained here may come to the fore and pique our interest. This includes higher education, the law, religion, philosophy, ethics, and foreign countries and their inhabitants. In-laws are also included in the ninth house. This could be a time to begin the study of any new interest, Capricorn. This also tends to aid communication and we are usually more open to differing viewpoints at this time. Travel could also come into play now, Capricorn, and often becomes a learning experience of sorts. This may have the effect of opening the mind and expanding our horizons. We can aid this by exposing ourselves to new subjects and people at this time. We will tend to be more tolerant now, Capricorn, and this may open new doors for us. This aids communications with others through publishing as well; another ninth-house concern.
MERCURY RETROGRADE TRANSITS
Mercury goes retrograde three times a year for a period of about three weeks. At these times it has been observed that communications can go awry, as well as having difficulties where travel is concerned. Usually, this does not indicate accidents, but there may be flight delays with airlines or lost luggage. Hotel reservations may not work out as expected and so forth. We may get the time wrong for a business appointment or lunch with a friend and so on. Other misunderstandings with communications may occur as well, so strive to be clear about everything. Be sure to dot the I's and cross the T's. These times may not be propitious for contract negotiations or signings. Also, another caution with Mercury retrograde, may concern electronics. This is not usually considered a favorable time for installing new software on a computer as troubles may arise from the new applications. We should also keep in mind at these times that we are advised to back up our computers just in case we experience a computer crash and end up losing work and important data.
VENUS IN TENTH
Venus tends to attract things and people to us, Capricorn, and with the transit of the tenth house this could prove to be beneficial in our professional lives. At this time we can more easily gain the support of superiors and this might hold us in good stead for promotion. Romance might enter the picture through our profession in some way now, Capricorn. With today's climate concerning such incidents, it would be wise to exercise a bit of caution in this regard. This could involve an older or more influential person so be sure you have no ulterior motives where this is concerned.
VENUS IN ELEVENTH
September 8, 2010 The eleventh house is considered the house of friends, professional organizations, and goals and objectives. With the transit of Venus here, any or all of these areas of our lives may benefit. We will most likely be in the mood for socializing with friends more now, Capricorn. This could be a good time to attend parties or throw one of our own. Business meetings or conferences will probably be more harmonious at this time as well. Through these associations, as well as through our friends, we may inadvertently find ways to achieve the goals and objectives we have represented in the eleventh house. This could indicate becoming romantically involved with someone that we had only thought of as a friend before, Capricorn, but now seem to see with new eyes. The same romantic potential could exist with someone we meet through a professional or social organization we belong to, or perhaps while attending a conference of some sort.
MARS IN TENTH
We can make great strides forward at this time providing we keep the usual warning about the negative expression of Mars' energy in check. If we do not do so, we may expect conflict in the career area of our lives such as with employers, bosses or any authority figurers now, and possibly co-workers. This might also include our parents and particularly the more influential parent in our development. Of course, Capricorn, we should stand up for ourselves when necessary, but choose your battles carefully. Is there really anything important at stake? Needless conflict now will undermine a transit that can afford us a marvelous opportunity to get ahead; and instead of moving forward with help from those involved, we end up merely putting obstacles in our path and making advancement, which could have been ours, even more difficult to attain. As with Mars' transit of the sixth house, this may be a good time to work alone if at all possible, Capricorn. We do not want to be hindered by authority figures or co-workers that may be slower than we are, or that may possibly have their own agenda. Energy levels are high now, Capricorn, and we can easily impress superiors with our energy and can-do attitude. We will do this much more effectively if we do this in the spirit of harmony and teamwork. To do otherwise can nullify all the progress we could have made now, or at least make achievement far more difficult to attain, by creating resistance instead of cooperation.
JUPITER IN FOURTH
Retrograde Until November 17, 2010 Jupiter's beneficence will now be felt in the domestic sphere, Capricorn. This is considered a good time to purchase a home or to remodel or expand an existing one. Real estate purchases of any kind are favored with this transit and this includes investments. Family relations are favored with this transit, Capricorn, and this includes your own family as well as your parents, and particularly the parent represented by this house. This is a good time to cement these relations and to build a firm foundation, so we always have the underlying security of home and family from which to face any onslaught the world may throw at us. This could be a good time to work from home or possibly start a home-based business that might prove to be quite profitable. For the most part, however, this is a time to solidify our personal lives and concentration on this will prove to benefit us now and in the future, Capricorn. The fourth is also related to our past and if we should have any issues here that are a source of problems for us, we can deal with these issues more easily now than at almost any other time. This affords us an opportunity to clear these matters up with the least amount of effort and trouble. People close to us are usually generous and supportive, as we are of them, Capricorn. By giving these people our priority we can now build true security for ourselves, which is usually what we are really seeking now.
JUPITER IN THIRD
September 8, 2010 All Jupiter transits are connected to learning in some way, as Jupiter is the natural ruler of the ninth house of higher education. The third house is related to early education, so this transit indicates a time when we have reason to suspect we will learn something that can benefit us in some way, or perhaps take up a new interest of study. This could come through siblings, neighbors, relatives or any interaction with our immediate environment, Capricorn. This transit also indicates a time when we can communicate with others more effectively, and this could include writing as this is another issue of the ninth house ruled by Jupiter. Both the third (short-distance) and Jupiter (long-distance) are associated with travel and, although the third house usually indicates travel in the immediate environment, with Jupiter here this could be a time of longer journeys. These travels may prove, in some way, to be learning experiences even though we may not be immediately aware of this benefit. Those we come in contact with daily could benefit us in some way and this benefit could be financial, Capricorn. Some attribute commerce to the third house, so this could be a time of increased activity and opportunities, as well as profits, in this area. Perhaps this might indicate an expansion of an existing business, or increased profits from new and existing customers. This does indicate a time when we can expand our mental horizons, Capricorn.
JUPITER RETROGRADE TRANSITS When transiting Jupiter turns retrograde, it affords us an opportunity to reassess where we may have exceeded the bounds of practicality. Have we overextended ourselves in business or in any other way for that matter? Now we have a chance to reevaluate our endeavors and to determine if our enthusiasm needs to be reined in a bit. This is a time to plan and prepare for opportunities that may present themselves when Jupiter turns direct again. Now is the time to determine if the course you are on, or the opportunities presented to you, are what you really want for yourself. SATURN IN TENTH
Saturn is the natural ruler of the tenth house and so we may expect to see Saturn's energies intensified with this transit. This is considered a major transit of Saturn and may have two differing outcomes depending on how we have prepared ourselves beforehand for this transit. For some people, Capricorn, providing we have been ethical and have not cut any corners, this may be a time of great reward. We may rise to a position of prominence now, but only if we have legitimately earned it. Still, this will not be a time for sitting on our laurels. Here, as anywhere Saturn transits; we will find along with the accolades, greater responsibility and be required to prove we earned what is given to us. We may come to feel this time represents all work and no play; or at least very little of the latter. Our personal lives may suffer as a result now if we have not taken advantage of Saturn’s transit through the fourth house to build strong foundations in our personal lives. If we have broken the rules in any way on our climb to the top, we may have to pay the consequences for our actions now. Saturn has an uncanny way of not allowing us to get away with anything. If we have cut corners, have been unethical, or have misrepresented ourselves, we may now have to reap the rewards of such actions. In this regard, for some individuals, this could signify a fall from grace.
URANUS IN THIRD
Retrograde Until December 5, 2010 Any turmoil in our lives linked to this transit may come in our immediate environment; communications, contact with siblings, neighbors, close relatives, short-distance journeys, as well as commerce if we are involved in business. Communications of all types will be enlivened with this transit, Capricorn, but be sure to pay attention to the details. We may wish to move so fast that we might miss something that could cause a problem later. This would also be a good time to be cautious where travel is concerned. This does not necessarily mean accidents but, just as Uranus’ transit of the first, if we are suppressing the need for change an accident could occur. All interactions with our immediate environment and those within it will appear electrified and accelerated now. As the third is related to left-brain activity and early education, we may experience a change in our perspectives on life or possibly find a new field of interest to study. Subjects related to Uranus are electronics, technology, any of the sciences, and even astrology. Some people may merely find that this transit brings a feeling of restlessness and boredom to the tedium of their normal daily routine. As with all Uranus transits, Capricorn, these feelings are attempting to convey the need for change in this area of life to keep things fresh and exciting. It is best to help these changes along by making allowances for our need for independence and growth.
URANUS RETROGRADE TRANSITS This is a favorable time to observe the changes in the world around you and to assess the impact these changes may have upon you on a personal level. This period of review may help you to adjust your course if the changes taking place around you seem to be impeding your progress, or may block it in the future. Observe and plan for now and postpone any changes until Uranus turns direct again. NEPTUNE IN SECOND
Retrograde Until November 7, 2010 In all likelihood, Capricorn, this transit will influence our money, possessions, personal values and innate talents. With this in mind, we should now keep watch over our finances, but at the same time not become too concerned about them. Do not become preoccupied with accumulating vast amounts of wealth now as this could lead to taking financial risks, which might prove disastrous with this transit. Neptune has a tendency to dissolve things and this could indicate your assets. Give your assets due attention, but do not become obsessive about it. Also, it would be wise to be skeptical of dubious investments now as this transit is conducive to being swindled. To focus too closely on financial matters may actually invite trouble. This transit is best used for examining our inner values and the more spiritual side of our lives. If we focus too much on the material aspects of life, our assets may be dissipated in order to bring our focus back to where it belongs now. There may be losses now, but we must attempt to see the big picture and for many of us this is clouded by the eternal grasping for more that most of us are afflicted by at one time or another. The real meaning of this transit, Capricorn, is to find what is truly important to us in life. This house is also associated with our inner resources and innate talents. This may be a favorable time to capitalize on these talents in some way, or at least attempt to give them expression. Inadvertently, Capricorn, this could prove to be financially profitable for us.
NEPTUNE RETROGRADE TRANSITS This is a time when we are advised to try to tune into our unconscious mind and examine what we find lying there. Assess your fears or any illusions you may be laboring under and try to ground them in reality in order to deal with them more effectively. Anything that leaves us feeling we are in a state of confusion should be dealt with also. Assess also if this may be connected to what is going on in the world around you. Endeavor to use your energy in a positive and productive manner and avoid escapism of any sort. Although Neptune is nebulous, we need to strive for clarity now in order to keep from deceiving ourselves and to deal with any issues confronting us in a practical manner. PLUTO IN FIRST
Retrograde Until September 14, 2010 When Pluto transits the first house, it is our personality that seems to undergo transformation. This is true in the sense that our underlying motivations, as to how we present ourselves to the world, are open for examination. We can now transform how we present ourselves to the world by dealing with these impulses, often driven by material stored in our subconscious/unconscious mind. This transit gives us the opportunity to be more authentically ourselves and to exercise a bit more conscious control over how we project ourselves onto the world. This can be a favorable time to divest ourselves of unwanted baggage that may be hampering our desires in life. We can bring more conscious control onto how we come across to others rather than being so strongly influenced by unconscious motivations. This may indicate a time of clashes with others, Capricorn, and this may be particularly true if we try to control others now. We should stand up for ourselves when necessary, but we should always keep in mind that the only person we can truly control is ourselves. Also, we may clash with others now if they are uncomfortable with this transformation we are undergoing. Changes of this type can make others uneasy because it may appear that you are changing into another person and they are uncertain of how to deal with this new you. You will be far more inclined now to examine yourself, other people, and your interactions with them on a far deeper level than you ever have before. Just keep in mind that this is your transformation, Capricorn, and you should not foist these changes onto others just to suit yourself.
PLUTO RETROGRADE TRANSITS As usual with any retrograde planetary motion, this is a time to step back and review our endeavors and to reassess what direction we are taking and just what it is we wish to accomplish. This is a favorable time to evaluate our progress toward our goals, but also to determine how these objectives may benefit others as well. We need to become aware of how we not only influence our own lives, but the lives of others, too.
