New Year 2010

As Mercury has been retrograde in your sign since just after Christmas and will be so until the middle of January, the more censorious side of your nature, plus the diligence, will be in great demand; it could mean you are demanded of, or it may mean you are doing the demanding of people who leave a lot to be desired where it comes to your exacting standards. This together with Mars in leo in the area of your life concerned with trust and agreement will point to a close scrutiny of all things co-operative and all things intimate. When Mercury goes direct again is the best time to look at the findings. And don't ignore what went on from October to mid-December last, because it will need to be taken and shaken and rehashed once March has seen a new start on old problems. Go into any meeting with the full facts, not just the cursory ones. A pause while Mars is resting will give you a chance to re-think who and where you want to place your most precious time and energy.

Jupiter in pisces now will bring to the picture many great ideas and imaginative plans from people who are hoping to inspire you and soften your heart. However, you'll soon know if you're getting ahead of your game when June arrives and rehashes a point which touches a raw nerve. But with the square Saturn is currently making to Pluto in the very first degrees of your own sign there is justification for thinking that if the frame freezes around your worldly prospects it may be because someone has you in a double-bind or a tight corner, if not financially then morally. January to April is the time to loosen the knots, ready to shake free of them from April onwards. Prepare to do a fairly fast reversal at that point. Although it may take a lot of preparation sometimes the speediest manoeuvres are the ones which have been planned for well in advance.

This a time when a lot is pledged by Capricorn folk, and a lot is promised in return. If it feels a bit like bias or coercion it is because it probably is, but though not all might is right there are times when it will bring about effects that otherwise would not become manifest. You may find that what seems like a harsh set of circumstances in the first six months of this year is in fact a mirror of your beliefs about life and how the rules should actually be laid down. The universe believes with you, not for you, so if you want an easier ride you must know right now that you deserve one and why, and exactly where and how you can get it. The second Mercury retrograde aspect in April will make you much more set on what you want and slow down the speed of things so that you can align with levers that make it possible to acquire what you want.

May Update

The retrogradation of Mercury in the earth sign of taurus since the third week of April has been making sure you don't go in the wrong direction with your passions, loves or simply your pursuit of happiness in other directions. It will become entirely obvious by the end of May that any obstacles to overcome are made of the finer feelings you have for others, or the need to see around the emotional demands from a code of practise which may forbid certain paths from being taken. These are sensitive areas and by June will have yielded a different shape to your schedule or dissolved things for the lack of practical structure. But the remodelling of your immediate plans or lifestyle will become vital if you wish to go ahead with proposed advancements; these could have begun last autumn as mere additions to the normal curriculum. It's a lot like beginning to decorate a room and then deciding that it won't look any better until you knock a wall down. What to do? Proceed or halt the work? Reversing the clock isn't possible.

The entrance of Uranus into aries after seven years in pisces means that old myths, antiquated values and historical precedents shake under the march of progress, and this is all very personal to you. It concerns your own growing needs as an individual, and you have the right to resist or to sweep all in front of you. But you cannot feel the same as you did whatever you do. The choices in June and July are heady because they derive from core values, but by the end of May when Mercury has gone direct again and over the old territory of early April there will be the need to make solid agreements or establish some sort of binding guidelines so that you cannot be denied, or rendered confused over detail later. Things are never carved in stone but they certainly have to take some viable shape if they are to be respected and valued. The message actually is to validate what it is you wish to see made more permanent in the middle of the year, after watching it lovingly unfold, or accept that it will be subject to variable influences in the last four months of the year which will cause it to teeter and maybe collapse under it's own improbability. You can get the details more exact in September, in fact you will be required to, but before then you will need to deal with the overall subject of framework and if you fritter energy on the smaller points rather than the whole you'll waste opportunity for easier implementation.

Your ruler, Saturn, went back into virgo in April, relaxing restrictions around former situations in geographical, professional or financial concerns until the end of May, so that they can be better implemented. If they are not utilised they will need to see closure; something must be seen through to completion or declared null and void and closed. before you can leave it and move on. And in August when Saturn is once and for all in libra and going straight through the sign, the strength of the bridgework then is only as solid as the months between May and August have built it. Those months should be devoted to clearing past debt, blockage or lack of clarity on a future requiring entirely new design in the way the outside world supports your views and aims. It is no good preaching to the converted, they are already familiar with what is on offer. The last retrogradation of Mercury in September will bring a clearing of false responses, so that it's no longer possible to look as if the right thing is being said and done when it's a waste of time and effort. Only the clearest of motives are acceptable then, yours and that of others.

September Update

Pluto is still in your sign, but has relaxed its vigilance within the square it made to Saturn as September closes and October begins. It means that whatever you have had to endure or process since October 2009 has now revealed its inner strength and what it was trying to teach you, so that hopefully you have assimilated it into your everyday schedule. Your career and world path might have been nudged onto new lines, or you might have a completely different view of where you want to be heading. If you started out on the path in June/July and got halted, then don't worry; the slow down is only for the purpose of getting better prepared, because once you have done the first few miles, figuratively speaking, there is no turning back. That point s liable to be somewhere in Deccember and January, depending on whereabouts you were born during Capricorn's reign.

The retrograde motion of pisces now means that the mundane life schedule and the immediate environment cannot speed up until you have decided what you are taking and what you are leaving. No life can take place at this physical level without a backdrop of perimeters and sometimes we curse those as being what has trapped us. But they are not, they are what contain us. Our attitude towards ourselves is what traps us. And so the limitations of the past seven years - if there were any - should be looked at closely, because they were part of a system of needs that might be dropped once you have left behind the scenario which drove them. Often we believe that if we work on ourselves things will change. Sometimes it is that we must change things first before we can really work on ourselves. Even so, it remains good that what you signal to the Universe is what the Universe delivers. The signals are vibrational, they are not material. So to have a clear idea of how you want to feel and what it is that will help you feel like that is the best starting point. Bear in mind that the modus operandi for feeling good will alter as you do; it's vital that Capricorns understand now that nothing is carved in stone, and if it is, it doesn't mean it's in their best interest to keep it that way.

The advent of Uranus properly into aires March next is the window of wider opportunity for personal growth and movement to become ultimately limitless, and farther than the eye can see. You can step out and pick up pace. But wait a while, however, before you put effort and energy into the unknown or more unique methods that might take some nerve to back. It may mean biding time until January or March next, but it is better to be on the confident side, than to put yourself under the duress of uncertainty or strain when you need the calm focus for the everyday detail. The retrograde motion of Mercury in virgo in September causes some of your geographical/professional plans (or the financial security making those possible) to reverse or change around. However, the surety and thoroughness of facts which should emerge as September elapses is superior in many ways to what was previously thought to be good. Allow December to give you the ground and then work it without restraint as the month ends, having gained the certainty of allies and those in key positions earlier on.
