We will be experiencing a New Moon, and
partial Solar Eclipse tomorrow, January 5, 2019.
This New Moon is at 15 degrees in the sign
of Capricorn. This solar eclipse is a
partial eclipse which is mainly visible in Asia.
Solar eclipses are said to bring to light any imbalances within the psyche and to also bring together the right and left
side of the brain. There is great
awareness with this energy, and we may feel as though we can do anything under
this influence. There can be a greater potential
for insight into what needs balancing in life.
Any planets within a three degree orb (some Astrologers use a wider orb)
will be influenced by this New Moon Solar Eclipse, especially by conjunction or
opposition. The square is also
applicable as well as the trine and sextile of course.
The New Moon’s energies are enhanced to a
great extent and the beginning of anything new (look to the houses involved) is
suggested at this time. A new moon speaks
of new beginnings (planting our seeds in the garden of life) and on the
opposite end of the lunar cycle, the full moon speaks of the harvest of these seeds
that have been nurtured.
In the sign of Capricorn, the new moon
energies could be tied to business ventures or a business association or the
beginning of a new business. Capricorn
will supply the push to propel us forward although with some restraint and
perhaps some concerns, which can be a good thing in the long haul. It is not a time for rushing into
things. We will need to set the ground
work and then once we are comfortable about applying the process, we can
begin. Take no short cuts and expect
some delays. There is likely to be some
hurtles to overcome in the process but think of these as learning opportunities. Do not back down because of fear of failure,
and if need be, rethink what your plans might entail.
This is a busy New Moon and it makes
several aspects during its influence. The
conjunction between the Sun and Moon make a close sextile to Neptune which is
at 14 degrees in the sign of Pisces.
Sextiles often speak of opportunities and fortunate outcomes but we have
to use these energies. If we sit back
and expect life to do the work for us, we will be sadly disappointed to realize
that things will not unfold the way we had wished they would have.
This is the time for action but realistic
action. Do not be led astray by
illusionary concepts and use your visual imagination to propel yourself
forward. It is always good to visualize
the final picture of what it is you are trying to do. Neptune can add to any artistic pursuit or
creative endeavour, and you can correlate the mind with the emotions to perfect
the adventure.
We also have a conjunction of Saturn to
this New Moon Solar Eclipse. Saturn is
at 11 degree Capricorn so it will bring clarity and help define the tried and tested
rather than something obscure. Saturn
knows it will take some hard work to get things off the ground, but offers up
perseverance and reliability over the duration of this influence.
Most Astrologers believe that Solar
eclipses are strong in their effect for about 6 months, but the overall effect
of Solar Eclipses is equivalent in years to the time it lasts; so a three and
one half hour eclipse will still be in force 3 ½ years from the time of the
eclipse, if it makes close aspects within your natal chart.
We also have a conjunction to Pluto which
is at 20 degrees Capricorn. Pluto tends
to create needed change although often through dramatic and deep profound
avenues. Pluto transforms all it touches. It tears apart anything that needs revamping,
puts an end to non-essential matters and asks us to dig deep for the answers we
are looking for.
As you can see, the overall influence of
this New Moon Solar Eclipse can be quite profound and it will likely uncover those
things that need to come to the surface and then push for a change to occur.
Enjoy the energies in place and see what
you can do at this time to propel yourself in the direction of choice. Be ready for the end of certain conditions
and the beginning of something new, something valid and essential for your
spiritual growth and understanding.
