Our planet takes 365 days to circle the Sun. Uranus takes 84 years; and Neptune takes 165 years. On Thursday (when there's a New Moon in Scorpio) - Uranus and Neptune will be exactly sixty degrees apart. (In astrological parlance this is called a sextile, which is favourable!) This will occur five times from 2025 to 2027. The last time this occurred was from 1965-1969 -- the height of the politically charged civil rights movement. This signifies a time of spiritual awakening and concern for human rights and individual freedoms. It encourages revolutionary ideas about collective change. Obviously, Thursday's New Moon will be a super charged time to make resolutions! I'm going resolve to lose the weight I put on earlier this year, when admittedly, I had a lot on my plate.
At this time, you have a strong concern about financial matters related to shared property and jointly-held possessions, as well as anything to do with inheritances, insurance issues, taxes, debt, wills and estates. (All that fun stuff.) This might also include shared responsibilities. These are not casual topics. How you handle them will lead to an outcome - one way or another - that affects your life and perhaps the lives of those who are close to you. But at the same time, there will be an opposition to Uranus (one of the planets involved in this rare sextile mentioned in All Signs), and Uranus happens to be in one of your Money Houses. This is a wake-up call! You might give more thought to being financially upright, generous and responsible.
In All Signs above, I mention the rare astrological event that takes place five times between 2025 to 2027. In four of those times, Uranus will be in Gemini. However, this Thursday on the day of the New Moon in Scorpio, Uranus will be in your sign - Taurus. This calls for a rethinking of your closest relationships and partnerships (both professional and personal), as well as your interactions with friends, clubs and organizations. Ex partners and old friends might be part of this collection. You will have an opportunity to tap into a more enlightened solution to deal with all these relationships. Look for ways (particularly on Thursday's New Moon) to explore how to do this.
Many things are taking place in your chart right now that affect your health and your job. Obviously, Mercury retrograde is encouraging delays, mixed-up communications, late deliveries, misplaced items along with transportation hiccups and problems. But in the bigger picture, these challenges are also tied in with the rare sextile mentioned in All Signs above. Over the next two years, you will adopt a new attitude (and ultimately a new relationship) with parents, bosses and authority figures. You might grow to appreciate the benefits of authority that encompasses compassion. Hockey player Trevor Linden said, "Leadership starts with caring."
There's lots of planetary activity in the part of your chart that represents children as well as vacations, socializing, romance, sports and fun outings. For some of you, the primary emphasis will be on your kids, especially dealing with something from the past. For others, it will be a return to some kind of romantic connection with an old flame (in person or in your thoughts and dreams). Encompassed with this might be a heightened awareness of organizations (or friends) connected with enlightened spiritual ideas, foreign countries or new ways of thinking. Savour the blessing of lucky Jupiter in your sign. Enjoy these good times!
Your strong influence on home and family continues because of the Sun, retrograde Mercury, Venus and Mars all captured in this one part of your chart. (Humming "Ohm on the Range"?) A return of old problems dealing with your family, or a family member are likely. This could create a rebellion with a boss, parent or an authority figure because you want the freedom to make your own choices. Meanwhile the rare sextile (mentioned in All Signs) will encourage humanitarian ideas and generosity to others, especially using funds that are collective or from another party. Or you might influence someone in authority to act with intelligent compassion.
Life is sailing along at a fast pace despite the fact that Mercury retrograde might trip you up with transportation delays, confused communications, misplaced items, and goofy mistakes. But there is an upside! Mercury retrograde can also help you finish old projects, and you can use this to your advantage. Take precautions this week because this is an accident-prone time for you. Pause and think before you speak or act. In the next two years, various events will occur that heighten your appreciation of spiritual values as well as the goodness of a close friend or partner. You will come to appreciate the benefit of dealing with others with patience and affection.
Some strong planetary activity is taking place in your primary Money House that has domain over earnings, cash flow, possessions and spending. Cheques in the mail might be late because financial delays are likely. Nevertheless, you're spending money - and some of it on beautiful things. Guard against impulse spending because you might regret these expenses later. In the next two years, you might see how to work in a way that has more meaning for you and for others. A spiritual awakening might involve raising funds for a worthy cause or something that has meaning and importance for you. People admire you now, and because of this, they will listen to you.
So much is happening in your world right now with the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars all sitting in Scorpio. Furthermore, the New Moon in your sign on Thursday also lines up with the rare sextile mentioned in All Signs above. You might feel stirred by strong feelings about a partnership or your relationship with your kids or a romantic relationship. Whatever the case, a relationship might be the vehicle by which you grow in a spiritual and more compassionate way, which means this relationship is a blessing and an opportunity for you. Travel, learning and ways to explore new ideas will appeal to you now. Get out and expand your world in any way possible!
You're a philosophical idealist at heart, which means many of you can be jaded and pessimistic. (Harsh times can do this to idealism.) However, the next few years (including this year) will be like a vitamin B shot to your spiritual world. Possibly, something unusual or unexpected will make an impact on you. It might prompt you to explore a value system that reflects a deeper sensitivity about how you relate to family members and your domestic world, as well as your job. You might espouse new ideas to your job and coworkers. You might rally your forces and urge others to protest, write letters or sign petitions. You don't sit still.
This is a popular time for you, and you're enjoying the warm, convivial company of younger people as well as creative artistic individuals. Someone from the past, probably younger, is prominent in your world right now. In fact, old romantic interests you haven't seen for a while are in your thoughts. For some reason, these past associations will heighten your own personal sense of spirituality and compassion for others, especially children. Some of you might also fall in love with someone, and it feels fated - as if they were your soulmate. Certainly, this is an excellent time for Capricorns to enter committed relationships - the best in over a decade! (Your timing couldn't be better!)
You want to make the world a better place. And more than any other sign, you can often bring this about because you're a networker extraordinaire! You know how to gather together like-minded individuals and rally your troops to fight for the rights of individual freedom, against regimes of oppression. This is because you were born 50 years ahead of your time! You have progressive, modern ideas, and advocate for the greatest good for the greatest number. Right now, you impress people because five planets are at the top of your chart making you dazzle! Admittedly, something unexpected, either on your part or on the part of another authority figure, might catch you off guard. Nevertheless, you might raise funds for a good cause.
You have strong feelings of escapism because you need a change of scenery. You want some adventure and stimulation! Some of you might be involved in a sudden and unexpected romance with someone who is "different". You are in a fortunate position right now because Mercury retrograde can help you finish manuscripts, school papers and any unfinished writing project. Use this energy if you can because you'll be pleased with the results. Things will be easier and flow faster than you ever dreamed. Be mindful to avoid accidents right now. In the next few years, you will be introduced to new ways of thinking and new ideas that inspire you to help others as well as yourself. Because your ruler Neptune is part of the Neptune/Uranus formula now taking place - you'll be in a position to be a force for good - no question.
