Capricorn Solar Eclipse on January 5, 2019--Wow!
















Capricorn Solar Eclipse--Balancing Karma & Rebuilding



It seems like yesterday that we experienced eclipses in Cardinal signs. With the North Node now in Cancer the eclipses (with the exception of the Lunar Eclipse at 0 degrees Leo) the eclipses fall under the signs Cancer and Capricorn. And any time we experience major planetary events in Cardinal signs we know that the changes that come with that event are permanent or at least long-lasting. So, what can we expect from the Solar Eclipse at 15 degrees Capricorn during the first week of January?

Well, if you have your Sun, Moon, or Rising Sign in any of the Cardinal Signs (and you know who you are), then wherever those signs fall in your Natal Chart shows you where one door closes and another one opens. And we're looking at four areas of your life (take a look at the cusps where Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn are in your chart. And then look up my Astro Cheat Sheet for further assistance).

Actually, everyone has those signs in their Natal charts and everyone is going to feel that they must take more responsibility or respond differently in those areas that the houses represent. I'm a bit technical here but bear with me. And if you would like help reading your chart, sign up for a moon chart reading.

A Solar Eclipse represents new beginnings but these beginnings are unstable. Never launch anything new or even set new intentions during an eclipse or during its shadow (3 days before and 3 days after the eclipse or between a solar and a lunar eclipse). We are in the dark literally. The earth comes between the Sun and the Moon causing a shadow over the Sun. And the Sun represents our identity and our clarity.

I remember the Solar Eclipse in Leo from the summer of 2017. It threw me for a loop. I walked around Bellingham trying to run errands and I felt lost. I couldn't get anything done and my skin kept burning up and I experienced sweats throughout that day. And the light was too bright that I wanted to hide in the dark and rest my eyes. That's the power of a solar eclipse. But the one coming up is not in Leo. It's in Capricorn and for me, during the winter and we won't see it where I live because it will already be the night.

But in the places where people can view the eclipse is a different story. I learned that those places under the path of the eclipse experience dramatic events. And the US certainly did after the sighting of the Leo Solar Eclipse the summer of 2017! And some of us are still recovering from the huge lessons we learned along the way about telling our truth and living authentic lives.

Please watch my podcast on the Capricorn Solar Eclipse on Astrologer Patricia (YouTube). The highlights are a sweeping cluster of planets and the South Node in Capricorn (Mercury, Saturn, Sun, Moon, and Pluto) opposing the North Node in Cancer and squaring Uranus and Mars in Aries. Meanwhile, Jupiter is in a square with Neptune. Chiron is RX in Pisces. And Venus is finishing up her transit in Scorpio conjunct Ceres. It's like women are taking the brunt of this energy but steel yourself because this is the last of the dinosaurs trying to usurp our power.


Earth (Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo)

Out of the three signs, Capricorn experiences the most impact from this earthy solar eclipse. Capricorns experience karmic clearing that can show up as an illness or other stressful events. We won't be able to lean on you around the time of the eclipse as you will need to escape from the fray and practice extreme self-care.

Perhaps, you can lean on your Taurus and Virgo brothers and sisters of the soul. These folks are less impacted by the eclipse and actually, they experience financial boosts and success in the material realm as long as they stick with their values. They also benefit from earth stewardship practices. Gaia is calling to you.

Water (Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio)

With the North Node in Cancer, Uranus, and Mars in a square with you and a cluster of planets (half the planets) opposing you, Cancer you must stand your ground. It's not time to throw caution to the wind and it is time to step away and practice self-care. Nourish your mind-body-spirit and when you do this, you inspire others to follow your examples.

All of the Cardinal Signs are balancing karma, but Capricorn is hit the hardest since Saturn rules karma and Saturn is ruled by Capricorn. But Cancerians, Capricorn is also representing your polar opposite and your shadow so what you see in them is also your unclaimed self! You want to revolutionalize the world, but first, start with yourself and reassess your new value system. Then once you have reflected on that, it's time to move forward.

Scorpio and Pisces experience sextiles with the South Node and the planets in Capricorn. Scorpio fairs the best since it also experiences flowing aspects with Chiron and Neptune as well as, the North Node. In addition, Venus and Ceres transit in Scorpio. Pisces has Chiron RX and Neptune in its sign but it also has that crazy square with Jupiter to contend with and it misses Mars which moved forward into Aries.

And one last caveat for the Water Signs is that with all that bombastic energy flying during the solar eclipse and the eclipse season, your sensitivity could lead to illness if you don't practice self-care and stay away from aggressive people.

Fire (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius)

Despite having Uranus in Aries and Jupiter in Sagittarius, the earthy solar eclipse leaves you stuck on the ground. It's like someone soaked your wings in a heavy oil and you appear to flounder under the weight. You want to travel but you run into restrictions. You share your optimism only to have the others slap you in the face with realism. And for Aries who experiences Mars and Uranus in your sign, but in a square with the nodes and the cluster of planets in Capricorn, you feel like you just can't win. And you want to conquer others with your ideas and competitive pursuits. Others will ask you to grow up and respond maturely to your life circumstances.

Sagittarius' planet Jupiter squares Neptune. And now, it's easy to go into combat to protect one's religious or philosophical beliefs. And you don't care for all the Debbie Downers spouting cynical remarks and talking about their realities, which to you seem too grim. You search high and low for a party or something to celebrate but unfortunately, the lay of the land is like a gray desert that stretches beyond the horizon. This too shall pass.

So, where does that leave you, Leo? You actually benefit from the drive Mars and Uranus give you and Jupiter in Sagittarius motivates important life changes. You are poised to take on the world. Unfortunately, the Sun, which represents you, is hidden behind the moon shadows. And Venus and Ceres square you. Take some time out for creative pursuits just for the pleasure of it. This will at least feed your soul during this heavy passage of time.

Air (Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra)

Libra experiences the squares with the nodes, the opposition of Mars and Uranus, and the square with the Capricorn planets. Feeling exhausted? Your main duty is to play referee for the warring forces. And for your personal life, balancing your diet leads to better health. Eating junk food can lead to the disease at this time. And don't forget to drink plenty of purified water as you need to wash out the toxic energies from your body.

Gemini experiences the opposition with Jupiter and the square with Neptune. Expand your world vision and get quantum. You pay too much attention to details and you miss the forest. You miss the expansive cosmos and astral projection. You do have your facts straight and this helps your Sagittarius and Pisces friends. At least someone is logical during this chaotic week.

Aquarius is in the free and clear. You don't have any major squares or oppositions or conjunctions to block your way, with the exception of the asteroid Vesta in your sign and Venus and Ceres in a square with you. And this just has you once again marching for women's rights and also Gaia's rights. You support grassroots causes during this time, but cool off before dealing with the opposition. Your job is to inspire not to set the match.
