The New Moon in Capricorn
The New Moon on Monday December 30th at 22.46 GMT in London UK at 9 degrees Capricorn. Chiron is involved with a flowing aspect to Mercury-a time for healing old wounds. The chart forms a Cosmic Rectangle with the Nodes of the Moon and the opposition of Mars and Pluto is involved. The theme is letting go of the past, especially as the South Node is in Libra, the sign of relationships ruled by Venus.
Saturn in Pisces squared by Jupiter in Gemini
Saturn says that our vision for the future needs to be brought down to earth. Saturn always gets a bad press as we feel its effects more directly than the outer planets. Saturn’s orbit is approx 28 years so every 7 years it will form a relationship-a challenging aspect to itself. Hence the ages 7, 14 21 and 28 are key times in our lives as we are learning lessons that develop into maturity.
Mercury in Sagittarius
Mercury is now direct and continues to be in a mutual reception with Jupiter in Gemini. Its now a Morning Start -the scout looking out for new ideas. It finally moves away from its shadow period on January 2nd.
Mars opposite Pluto
This is the fight for survival, intense and powerful as Pluto buries what it touches so issues with anger that can be supressed. Famous people with this connection are Ringo Starr with the conjunction, Aleister Crowley with the trine and Albert Schweitzer with the opposition. . According to the astrologer Sue Tomkins dancing and drumming are just two ways to work with this dynamic energy and there can also be an interest in magic and the occult!

FIRE SIGNS Mercury in Sagittarius
Mars is now in Leo in a fire sign ruled by the Sun. Passions can run high. Chiron retrograde in Aries forms a positive connection with Mercury ruled by Jupiter at this New Moon. Time for healing any issues of being the pioneer.
EARTH SIGNS
Uranus is the only outer planet in an earth signs. Change is what Uranus needs. Work with it. Make some practical changes in your life. Clear out those cupboards! Pluto moved into the air sign of Aquarius on November 19th.
WATER SIGNS
Mars moves into Cancer and Saturn is in Pisces.
Neptune The Dreamer is now direct at 27 degrees of Pisces. In Pisces it favours all the water signs. Watch your visions and dreams, get creative and meditate. We now have an opportunity to bring our dreams into manifestation. Trust your intuition. One key word for Neptune is compassion.
However watch out for scams! It can also indicate illusion, deceit, scandal, loss, drowning, a feeling of being overwhelmed and lost. If you’ve been feeling exhausted, depressed, over-burdened and with little energy then I recommend taking time out and being kind to yourself. Bach Flower remedies such as Elm, Sweet Chestnut and Oak may be helpful. Also for shock Rock Rose or Rescue Remedy.
AIR SIGNS
Venus is in Aquarius ruled by Uranus in an earth sign. However Venus moves sign on January 3rd into the water sign Pisces.
Jupiter the greater benefic is now in Gemini. Look where that is in your birth chart.
Jupiter is the planet of faith, faith in life, that life is worth living. It takes 12 years to go around the zodiac, so look back 12 years to understand its influence in your chart. It is the biggest planet in our solar system and Jupiter is Zeus, King of the Gods. It brings good luck, expansiveness and the feel good factor.
Pluto is now direct. Pluto is an outer planet and affects world events. It has now ended its journey in the earth sign of Capricorn. Pluto becomes more personal if it connects with one of inner planets in your chart. These are the Sun, Moon, Mercury Venus and Mars. It is activated at mid-life when it makes a square to itself around the age of 38. It moved into Aquarius in 2024 from January 21st until September 2nd 2024 when it retrograded back in Capricorn. However now it is firmly in Aquarius so will be a major transit.
Testimonial from a client
“ I just wanted to thank you for such an inspiring consultation. Your depth of knowledge in vedic astrology and beautifully intuitive sense helped me to understand and ‘organise’ thoughts about the puzzle of my life which, of late, I have been struggling to find the right pieces for! I felt uplifted and encouraged after the consultation and very appreciative of the time you took to unravel part of the kaleidoscope. Thank you, thank you, thank you”. Samantha M
