Astrological Happenings for 2008
JUPITER in Capricorn - December 19, 2007 - January 6, 2009
Key words: time to be practical
Jupiter will be leaving Sagittarius and entering Capricorn in December 19 2007. It will stay in Capricorn until January of
2009. Jupiter stays in a sign for 12 - 13 months.
Capricorn is practicality, rationality and hardheadedness. It tells to us to be respectable, follow the rules, and learn from
the past. 2008 is all about manifesting and materializing your visions
Jupiter is the planet of luck, expansion, optimism and growth. This is your Midas-touch make a wish time! Think ahead
though, about what you want to do over the next 12 years and where you want to be at the end of it.
In the ancient Indian language, Sanskrit Jupiter is called "guru" or teacher. This fits its association with the higher mind,
philosophy, truth and religion. Perhaps Jupiter's good fortune derives from the capacity to give us a larger view in which
to see the world.
There are rewards during this time if you make careful plans and stick to them. Capricorn is persistence that will assist
us to overcome obstacles when the goals and methods of how to reach them are clear to us. Any advances forward
during this time are more at a regular pace. When it was in Sagittarius, there were great leaps forward and unfortunately
some dramatic crashes.
Jupiter will also bring in opportunities for you. Stay alert and seize those golden moments. The opportunities that will
occur will depend on where Jupiter is transiting in your chart. Passively waiting for luck to knock on your door is not the
way Jupiter works. You need to be proactive. Start by looking for opportunities will prompt the Universe assist you
Jupiter is the gambler so do not be afraid to take risks. The more you leave your comfort zone, the greater your results
On a spiritual level, Jupiter in Capricorn brings new awareness of our role in the universe. Capricorn (along with Cancer)
is called the Gates of Heaven, where souls enter and leave the earthly realms. Jupiter is also the planet of faith. It brings a
sense of optimism from knowing that greater forces are at work to support you on your path.
On the disadvantage of Jupiter, it is the planet of expansion. It can be the expansion of our own waistline or seeing
things clearly due to denial. Jupiter rules optimism and Capricorn is the realist and these energies can clash. At times,
you may get discouraged or impatient to see results. Do not give up. Keep your head in the clouds and your feet on the
ground. Take time to dream and plan.
However, if you are stuck in a rut, watch out! Jupiter can act as a minor explosive device that blasts you out of your rut
onto a new path or perspective. One door is closing just as another is opening.
The expansiveness and optimism of Jupiter are restrained in Capricorn where speculation is limited to ideas that can
actually be turned into reality. This may put a hindrance damper on fantasies, schemes and dreams that entertain the
mind but distract from earthbound reality. Capricorn wants measurable results and will be especially skeptical about
unproven concepts.
Jupiter trines Saturn - January 21st
Jupiter sesquiquadrate Saturn - June 26th
Saturn opposes Uranus - November 4th
It is a time about our own world, how you think about it in your mind. How you live and treat others, children and your
resources.
Saturn in Virgo Sep 2, 2007 to Oct 29, 2009
Saturn is the planet that we hear no from. It can bring in frustrations due to blockages and or delays. But with out these
we can not see what needs to change in order to bring in our goals. Saturn's presence in a sign of the zodiac shows us
where we are likely to meet limits and how to construct something useful.
Saturn in Virgo brings attention to flaws in individuals and systems. Inefficiencies are exposed and problems with small
details can cause major problems. This is all in part to show you how transform weaknesses into strengths.
A positive effect of Saturn in Virgo is the increasing benefits of training and education. It is ideal for personal
development in physical and also psychological ways.
Virgo energy works better with Saturn, for it rules Capricorn and is part of the earth trine. Doesn't mean there aren't
lessons to learn and karma to address, but it's a cadent sign and thus, lighter energy. Taurus and Capricorn will benefit
most from this transit, as it will trine their sun sign during this juncture. You will find that there are approvals and
rewards for work well done. . Virgos will be tested, but they are such workaholics that they probably won't know the
difference. Sagittarians, Pisces and Gemini will feel the square energy, and find they have to stand up to authority figures
who would like to mold them to their will. Leos, Aquarians, Aries and Libra will find themselves making adjustments as
Saturn quincunx (30 degrees) and inconjuncts (150 degrees), their signs. Cancer and Scorpio in a sextile position to
Virgo, which creates a pointing to Aquarius and Aries. Saturn will test you in the houses it is in.
Jupiter and Uranus at the same degree in the spring. . Very stabilizing energy and a time to walk your talk because
you know how. Exact dates are: January 16, January 6, (give or take a week in either direction.)
Jupiter sextiles Uranus - March 29th, May 21st, November 13th
Jupiter sextile Uranus this year, Capricorn to Pisces; an opportunity for something to 'drop from the sky' - a accidentally
bit of good luck that you might not have expected. However, in most cases, you have to set the energy in motion for it to
happen. It is not a heavy-duty good aspect like Jupiter trining Uranus, but it has potential depending on your destiny.
Any sextile creates a harmonious 60-degree aspect between two planets. It is an opportunity for development and this
one points at Leo where you shine, whichever house it is in.
PLUTO IN CAPRICORN 2008-2023
Pluto will be enter Capricorn for the first time January 25, 2008 and will retrograde back into Sagittarius one final time
on June 14. It will make one final sweep through the Sagittarian issues of religion, philosophy, travel, ideology,
journalism, optimism, and general expansion. It will journey back into Capricorn on November 26, 2008 and remain
there until January 21, 2024. Pluto will engage in a process of breaking down and then rebuilding the structures on
which we depend for a successful experience in the material world. The intense periods will be when it is stationary. It
will be intense for those who have planets in the late degrees of the mutable signs; Virgo, Pisces, Sagittarius and Gemini.
Or the early degrees of the cardinal signs; Capricorn, Cancer, Aries and Libra.
Its ever challenging energy forcing us to grow. Also, challenging us to stand up to it and reap the rewards of
empowerment when we do and succeed. When Pluto leaves one sign we are never the same person as when it started in
that sign. Through testing and transformation we have grown stronger and our look at life and perspective has changed.
This new period will be best for those that are earth signs like Capricorn. Which they will have endured so far will reap
some rewards. Air signs will find Pluto in their money houses, they may see a drop first then a straight building up
afterwards. Water signs will be involved in communications and relationships. Fire signs will deal with family and
mates.
It's the cardinal grand cross, of Aries, Cancer and Libra - with Capricorn - who are going to have transformative changes
in their lives. (Remember: if you are born at 20 degrees or later of any given sign, or rising, synthesize it with the house
positions of the next sign, i.e., if you're a Libra, for instance, you'll still have some time with the house positions, but
you're closer to Scorpio's house positions, so include them in your deliberations.)
Pluto represents death and endings and the breakdown of the structures in our life that are required in order to bring
transformation and new beginnings. It will bring to our view reality in our life.
Pluto transits typically include a breakdown phase, where structures that no longer serve us are dismantled to make
room for new structures that are more in line with our spiritual evolution. If we understand the process and can
surrender to it with trust, this can be an exhilarating time of transformation and empowerment. If we resist and hold on
to the past it can be full of tragedy and pain.
When Pluto goes through Capricorn we can expect the transformation of all things ruled by that sign - such as our
religious institutions, government and political structures, the way we inter our dead and take care of our old people,
construction techniques and buildings, and how we handle ownership of property.
During the transit of Pluto, there are extremes and compulsions in the area of life associated with the sign through which
Pluto travels. Capricorn association with governments and government buildings. Pluto deals with issues of power - on a
personal level such as personal empowerment as well as with the power structures that govern all of humanity that fall
under the rubric of the Capricorn theme.
Pluto's reach will extend beyond governments, however. Capricorn also rules the elderly and endings of life, and Pluto's
passage through Capricorn could transform the way we view the entire process of death and dying, including the disposal
of the body after death.
Pluto goes retrograde on April 2nd and goes direct on September 8th.
Mars will oppose Pluto in early March, which will create some fireworks of aggression and confrontation, and Saturn
will make its second trine to Pluto in April which will ease the challenge of the new requirements of Capricorn Pluto
which wants to tear down and rebuild the structures of our life and planet and intensify the power bases that govern
society.
NEPTUNE - in Aquarius - 1998-2012
It has also been combined with Uranus which may have not been so smooth sailing for the past 8 - 15 years. There could
have been upsets and job losses. But it tried to encourage you to pursue your personal goals. Things should be becoming
more smoother since Uranus moves into Pisces.
Neptune and Aquarius does quite well with each other.
Neptune goes retrograde on May 26th, and goes direct on November 2nd.
Uranus in Pisces Dec 30, 2003 to May 27, 2010
Uranus in Pisces can accelerate spiritual changes by breaking down old faiths, perhaps revivifying them in radical forms,
or contributing to totally new ways of expressing beliefs. Uranus brings chaos out of which new life is formed. Initially,
we are threatened by the breakdown of the old order, and tend to seek familiar ways to reinstate its familiar boundaries.
But the more rigidly we stick to the past, the more violently we are going to be shaken. Working with Uranus requires
flexibility, a willingness to discover rather than a will to control. When we remember the spiritual truth that there is unity
behind our apparent differences, discord can be reduced. We can find harmony in listening more and speaking less,
humbly opening ourselves to be with one another, rather than trying to push each other away. Accepting these oddities
in ourselves is the first act of tolerance that makes it possible to trust one another. When Uranus enters a new room it
throws on the lights, and exposes all that is in that 'room' to be cleaned out, pulling the rug out from under as it goes,
forcing you to move forward in new directions.
Uranus goes retrograde on June 26th and goes direct on November 27th.
