New Moon Solar Eclipse at 25 degrees Capricorn, January 15, 2010
New Moons are times of new beginnings, planting new seeds, and setting intentions. This is one of the more powerful lunations for the New Year as a partial Solar Eclipse. In general, eclipses are a New Moon or Full Moon on steroids and always carry an extra punch! Eclipses are like “Wild Cards” in the deck of life often signaling endings and new beginnings. More importantly they are harbingers of illumination and new revelations.
With the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Pluto, and the north node in Capricorn, this is a most favorable time to solidify new opportunities with our career and business plans. Capricorn is a sign of ascension, as it wants to scale mountains and reach the summit of life. This New Moon conjuncts Venus, helping us take responsibility and value commitment within our important relationships. Venus in Capricorn always demands respect! The last solar eclipse at this degree was back in January of 1991! What was going on in your life then? What’s happening in your life now?
One of the mythic archetypes for Capricorn is the myth of Hephaestus. He was the unloved and unwanted son of Zeus and Hera. Because he was born disfigured with a clubfoot they threw him off Olympus to die. He was adopted and raised by two sea nymphs, Thetis and Eurynome who nurtured him for nine years but still felt his rejection and woundedness keenly. Hephaestus learned to be a craftsman making beautiful jewelry for his adoptive parents. He also built the palaces for the Olympians, created Zeus’s thunderbolts, and built the winged chariot for Apollo, God of the sun. Hephaestus became the great artisan of the Olympians. The myth of Hephaestus is symbolic of the wounded artist archetype.
The Sabian Symbol for this New Moon at 26 Capricorn reads: A nature spirit dancing in the iridescent mist of a waterfall. Keynote: The ability to perceive the hidden and creative spirit of natural phenomena. Mercury begins to move forward on the 15th and conjuncts Pluto. It’s time to move ahead with new ideas and plans that were on the back burner. Never underestimate the power of words! Crystallized thinking brings results. Mercury crosses its shadow point on February 3-4 at 21 degrees of Capricorn.
Fiery Mars is retrograde until March 10 when he moves forward in motion and stays in Leo until June 6. Mars retrograde is not the best time to initiate new projects or take definitive action. This is a good time to re-ignite our creative fires through confident resolve. Find the courage within to allow you to become immersed in a slow burn of creative incubation. Mars retrograde conjuncts President Obama’s descendant as he meets with stiff opposition from many sources. When Mars moves into Virgo on June 7th, he can gain strength and get his Mojo back!

JANUARY ASTROLOGICAL PREDICTIONS ~ Featuring Capricorn
By Kerry Fezza 2010
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Wow! What better way to start a new decade than with a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Cancer? Expect Real Estate, the Economy, Immigration, Homeland Security, Agriculture, Family Values and the Military to be hot topics! Our country has entered a 19 year cycle of karmic self growth. We’ll be learning a lot from History with our destiny linked to our allies.
How we feel entering into 2010 might change by January’s end due to lots of energy shifts mid-month.
Astro Activities:
Venus and the Sun enter Aquarius on the 18th and 19th respectively.
Jupiter moves into Pisces this year on January 17th where it’s at home.
Mercury goes direct on the 15th in Capricorn but consider its shadow until February 1st.
Saturn turns retrograde on the 13th in Libra continuing to square Pluto in Capricorn.
Mars remains retrograde in Leo.
If you know your Moon and Ascendant/Rising sign read those forecasts too. Especially refer to your Rising sign for relationship issues.
CAPRICORN
Happy Solar Return to the cautious, economical, yet ambitious Mountain/Sea-Goat!
Destiny shines on your sign this year. Fated contacts could be linked to the past.

Relationships are delicate as partners deal with their own set of issues and financial struggles. Passion may be subdued or misdirected until mid-March when things start to move forward.
As you rise to adversity and manifest your goals, you’ll strengthen the resolve of those around you. Focus on self empowerment!!
