Dear Stargazers,

On December 19, Archers everywhere will heave a collective sigh of relief as Saturn bids farewell to Sagittarius and begins what will be an interrupted journey through Capricorn.

Interrupted? Yes, because from March 22 - July 1, 2020, Saturn will be in Aquarius for a brief visit with the Water Bearer. This means if you happen to be born with the Sun at 0-2° of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus and Scorpio, this period will likely offer a preview of the potential challenges, tests and rewards that are in store for you after Saturn enters  Aquarius on December 16, 2020.

But enough about Saturn in Aquarius. Let's talk about Saturn in Capricorn.

Since Saturn rules Capricorn, it's dignified. In other words, Saturn is at home in Capricorn. It feels comfortable, confident and in control so its energies flow freely.

So what does that mean for you? Read on!
PLANETARY FORECAST
Dec 11 - 24, 2017

PLANETARY EVENTS

Dec. 18: New Moon in Sagittarius
Dec. 19: Saturn enters Capricorn
Dec. 21: Sun enters Capricorn (Winter Solstice)

Happy Birthday, Capricorn! Your ambitious spirit, relentless nature and burning desire to reach the top means that you aim high, work hard and never say die. An overachiever who refuses to settle for second place, you're here to show us that nothing succeeds like success.

Dec. 22: Mercury stations direct

After Mercury stations direct, it remains in the post-retrograde shadow until January 10. Much like an employee returning to work after battling the flu, Mercury is moving a bit slowly and needs a bit of time until its functioning at full capacity. From 12/22 - 12/31, Mercury's energy will be particularly sluggish.

BEST DAYS

While there are other days during this time frame that are fine, these are the best of the bunch. What do I mean by the best? The energy is flowing, the moon isn't void and there's a greater likelihood for happy and/or productive outcomes.

Dec. 11, 14 (until 8:42 PM EST), 17, 23 (after 9:42 AM EST) 

BEST AVOIDED

The energies on these days aren't favorable for new ventures or any activity where you want or need a definite result. If you must schedule something, you may have to think on your feet, or there may be a need for patience or flexibility.

Dec. 15, 20, 21, 22


NOTABLE ASPECTS

For guidance about these aspects, visit Facebook or Twitter the day before the aspect, because the influence is already in effect because the energy is building. Once the aspect is exact, the energy is released and its influence fades.

Dec. 12: Sun conjunct Mercury Rx
Dec. 15: Mercury Rx conjunct Venus
Dec. 16: Sun trine Uranus
Dec. 20: Venus trine Uranus
Dec. 21: Sun conjunct Saturn

NEW MOON at 26°31 SAGITTARIUS 
December 18, 2017
1:30 AM EST | Washington, DC


The new moon's close connection to Saturn and Venus speaks to stability, serious intentions and commitments where love is concerned. A trine from Uranus to the new moon and Venus promises excitement as it adds a bit of spice of romance.

Since Venus also rules money, it also suggests the possibility of making a financial commitment or establishing long-term financial goals. What about the trine from Uranus? Its influence suggests there may be a greater willingness to invest in something a bit riskier than usual.

However, it's important to note that Mercury is retrograde during this new moon, which means its promise may be delayed.

Manifesting with the Sagittarius New Moon*

Actions, intentions and affirmations for new beginnings connected with long-distance travel, education, sales, coaching, marketing, public speaking, legal matters, religion, philosophy and publishing. 


*Since Mercury is retrograde, intentions set during this new moon may be slow to blossom.
TRANSITING SATURN IN CAPRICORN


No matter which sign of the zodiac claims you as its own, or what your chart is like for that matter, how you experience this Saturn cycle on a personal level depends largely on what you've been doing up until now.

For example, if your sign is highly favored by Saturn's transit through Capricorn but you've done very little to further your goals, this transit won't be handing out any big rewards. However, it will give you have the opportunity to make up for lost ground if you're willing to work for it. 

In contrast, if your sign isn't one of the favored ones but you've been diligently working towards a goal, this transit can help propel you further by providing opportunities for growth (in the form of hard work) or by revealing the flaws in your plan (so you can correct them).

Saturn is about taking responsibility, and the truth is that no matter how wonderful or how burdensome any transit may be to your chart, it's your own free will that decides what you make of it. 

So now that you and Saturn understand each other, let's take a peek at how each sign is likely to fare while the celestial taskmaster in Capricorn.
Who's Favored

If you're born under Taurus or Virgo, you can make great strides now. Your goals may be within reach, and/or a significant opportunity may present itself with little effort on your part. While others may view it as a lucky gift from the Universe, the truth is it's the result of your past efforts. Don't let feelings of satisfaction hold you back. This is a fortunate cycle that won't be back anytime soon so be sure to make the most of it.
Who Gets Tested

If you're born under Aries or Libra, expect a challenge to arise in some area of your life that will test you in some way. If you're on the wrong path, you're likely to encounter enough setbacks to make you feel like you're constantly swimming upstream. If so, it may be time to pivot and/or cut your losses. However, if you're on the right path, this challenge may serve as a catalyst that propels you to success. 
Who Gets Put on the Spot

If you're born under Cancer, you're likely to feel restricted in at least one area of your life.This cycle is meant for reassessment, and it's possible that you may need to release something or someone from your life. If so, cut your losses, assess the damage and start planning your comeback.
Who Skates by

If you're born under Pisces or Scorpio, this period can be ripe with opportunities if you seek them out and develop them. If you do nothing, you won't suffer any ill effects during this transit, but since every Saturn cycle has a direct bearing on future ones, it's best to give it your all. 
Who Needs to Adjust

If you're born under Gemini or Leo, you're likely to experience a situation in some area of your life that makes you feel like you're between a rock and a hard place. Is there a way out? Of course, but it's going to require an adjustment that may feel more than a bit uncomfortable for you.
Who Gets a Free Pass

If you're born under Sagittarius or Aquarius, you won't be under Saturn's radar. For Archers, it's a welcome respite after being in Saturn's sights the past few years, and for Water Bearers, it's the last hurrah before the celestial taskmaster focuses its attention on you.
Who Gets a Second Chance

If you're born under Capricorn, you're wrapping up a cycle and depending on your past performance, this period will be a time of achievement or a time of disappointment.

Whatever is sound in your life will continue to go smoothy, but it will require considerable effort and persistence to achieve your goals. However, if you keep your eye on the prize and continue moving towards it, you'll ultimately bring home the win.

In contrast, whatever isn't sound will likely collapse. If you experience a personal and/or professional defeat, it's critical that you understand what went wrong before you attempt to regroup. Otherwise, you'll invest your time, energy and resources in yet another losing proposition. 

Whether you rise or fall during this cycle, one thing is for certain: When this cycles, a new one begins, and with new beginnings come second chances. If you experienced this period as a time of achievement, you get a second chance to prove your worth, and if you experienced it as a time of disappointment, you get a second chance to get it right.
