We welcome in the Sun Sign of Capricorn on Sunday, December 22, 2013. Capricorn is perhaps one of the most misjudged signs of the Zodiac. Those born under this sign have been identified as emotionless, as driven by sheer determination and as arriving at a place based solely on material achievement. It is true that Capricorn people do not reveal their emotional nature, unless the Moon is placed in a watery sign such as Pisces, Scorpio or Cancer, but this does not mean that they are emotionless. Capricorn people are very emotional by nature but have difficulty letting these intense emotions out.
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, which has a tendency to restrict and inhibit such things as emotions. Capricorn people are sensitive to criticism and especially when the criticism is pointed towards their emotional side. They are far from cold! It is suffice to say that when they find a place of release, their emotions comes out in a slow but deliberate fashion.
Most individuals with the Sun in Capricorn and strong placements in the tenth house could be referred to as achievers. They make their mark in life, but not through channels of quick decisions (such as Aries individuals). Capricorn people will make their way up the ladder in a precise and calculated manner. They are strategic planners and will make their way up the corporate ladder through diligent and consistent effort and hard work. They will gain their recognition through their own personal efforts and understand that it takes time to reach the top.
Most Capricorn personalities are reserved, and conscientious of their mannerisms. They rarely reveal much of their true identity and believe in gentle persuasion rather than gruff behaviour. You will have a difficult time getting to know them, as they withhold much of what goes on inside. As they become comfortable with you, however, they slowly start to release. As this is happening, you may be tested with regards to their strict and moral conduct of behaviour.
Many Capricorn individuals have a religious side and once again this may not be obvious to others. Many follow a strict code of personal ethics. Nothing comes without some type of effort and Capricorn understands this better than most. They are methodical thinkers, particularly so if Mercury is in an earth sign and would rather take the tried and tested route than move into something unfamiliar. They value those that have “been through the ropes” and are more than willing to learn from other people’s experience.
They have a place in their heart for tradition, and many have strict moral upbringings. They know the difference between right and wrong and follow upright and honest approaches to life. There are those that become obsessed with the pursuit of achievement and these individuals must find a place of balance between corporate success and a happy family life. Some become corporate climbers and never marry to dedicate their life to success and moving up this ladder.
In order to move beyond the barriers they erect, Capricorn will have to find a cause that is greater than self. As important as corporate achievement may be, if they find an occupation where they can be of assistance to those of lesser standing in the eyes of the status quo and help build up confidence in others, they open the door for an achievement far beyond the boundaries of the material world.

Ego's Hold
Our ego is an influence to be reckoned with, yet it is personified with childlike conduct. When given dominance, the ego can overpower our true identity and lay a foundation, although weak, that will stifle our true potential to the point of stagnation. The ego wants to give us a false sense of self, and will promote feelings of superiority over others, usually through intellectual ability, or attained success.
If you over-identifies with the ego, you will resort to putting others down leaving those that lack self confidence bewildered by such attacks. The ego infiltrates our rational and makes it somehow acceptable to willfully hurt others through jokes or otherwise. When the ego is allowed to flourish, it intends to gain some internal power that once again provided a stronghold on its existence. In gathering momentum and power, the ego penetrates your consciousness and makes you believe that you are right about almost anything. Even when you acknowledged that you have strayed in your judgement, the ego insists that it is right and will never admit defeat or error.
The ego is easily hurt when attacked and will stand loyal in its own defence fighting back with force to prove its validity. It requires a glorified image of self and needs no one, as it is totally self-sufficient and believes in its own justification at any cost. The ego’s will to live or continue to thrive is the ultimate concern.
The weakest link that can be found in the ego is the fact that it is false, and as long as we identify with this false image, we allow it to gain momentum and strengthen. The true self, a much stronger entity which resides internally, can dominate the ego force at will, but over identifying with the ego’s intent limits its interaction. Eventually in the majority of individuals, a balancing takes place and the ego loses its effect. A life connected to its pure essence will crush the bloated ego, as ego’s rightful place resides in balance with our true self, where is can promote confidence in self without the feeling of superiority over others – just equality.
As balancing is found, one understands that hurt can only be generated from the ego and the true self can never be hurt. You begin to release the stronghold of the ego and humility, love, compassion and enlightenment replaces the once held fortified foundation of the ego. The inner self knows that enlightenment can only be attained through the release of the ego, as any worthwhile emotion will not be found within the bloated ego’s grasp.
The longer you allow the ego’s domination, the harder the fall from grace. Put a stop to the ego’s eternal need for supremacy over everything and everyone, as this sense is only temporary and fabricated. Moving beyond the ego opens the door to true perception and moves you ever closer to oneness with your essence.

The Second Saturn Return
Saturn’s cycle is about 29 years in length and if you remember your first return between the ages of 28-30, hopefully you are prepared for the coming of the second return between ages 58-60. The area of life affected depends largely on the placement of Saturn by house position, aspects to Saturn from other planets and specific angles (ascendant and MC).
The second return period carries with it a time to reflect on past achievements and decisive actions that you will take as you enter into the later stages of life. There may be a sense of urgency, just as there was with the first return, but not to the extreme. There is a feeling that you must now concentrate your energies on dealings with old habits that may die hard and tie up some loose ends once and for all. Time seems to be fleeting and this may be the last chance to complete some of these tasks.
As the body ages, and in some cases weariness sets in during this transitional period, it is wise to now form good habits around the body’s health with exercise and healthy eating habits. Some experience stages of depression as they realize that their life is undergoing changes both internally and externally. Many prepare for retirement and begin to slow down as the assertiveness to conquer life is not as important because by now you are actually beginning to figure out things quite nicely.
Many will experience a softening effect to their overall personality and an awakening to realms of higher learning no longer attached to material living. There is some soul searching and the potential for the inner spirit to become more apparent. Your ambitions seem to take a gradual turn and you may now focus your attention on things already known and delve into deeper understanding of these subjects, or objectives in life.
Saturn has always been known as the task maker and now you reap some of the rewards for your hard work, although not without some strife along the way. You will still need to work towards your intentions, but may now have more patience than you did in the previous return period. There is a new understanding that begins to shed some light in areas that you never understood before. It is a time of knowledge gained through life’s experience and the wise use of these learned things.
You may find that doors open, shedding light into new places of thought, as there is an opportunity for deep understanding and much wisdom to be gained. This wisdom comes from within and from outside the self. You are open enough to question things and realize that the knowledge and experienced that has been attained so far, is just part of the big picture. You are more open to discovery than before and the ego is under your scrutiny instead of the other way around.
You are entering the wisdom of knowledge that can only be gained at this stage in life. There is an awakening of insight and an opportunity for great change and you enter this segment of your life, with a willingness and an understanding that change comes from within and moves at its own pace. You are finally in a position to share your knowledge but also realize that you have a lot to learn as the road ahead is as broad as it is long. The avenues for spiritual awakening calls to those that are ready and willing to take on the challenge. This is not a final stage. It is the beginning of a new one.

This Life's Last Door
The ego expresses itself on many levels and there are several ways of looking at this apparent companion or “master” force. Identifying with the ego is of paramount concern as it can take you places that both create concrete results or entangled concepts that are anything but effective in their nature or for your growth. As you walk with your ego, watch for identifying with the voice that says you are better than others, deserve more than others, should have recognition for who you are and even more subtle you deserve these rewards and more.
When we come to terms of being equal as spirit (as our whole essence), and that each and every one of us are in the pursuit of true happiness and enlightenment, regardless of what enlightenment may mean, we begin to get a grasp of how the ego transcends on our attitude of self. At some point in time, we all walk together towards the road of death of this material lifetime and everything we have gained materially as well as spiritually will be on our minds when we near the end.
If you have spent your life, high on who you are and what you have accomplished in your life, whether that be abundance in the material world, or advancement in the concept of doing what others could not do because of your intellectual abilities, where does this leave you on deaths door? How did it move you forward as you prepare for the final stage of this life’s mission?
All balances out in the end and it does not matter what you have attained during this life unless it is something that will not be left behind upon death of this incarnation. If you have chosen a life of service, one where in your own personal way you have assist others and help them find a place of happiness, you can move into your final moments with a sense of contentment that will not be found elsewhere.
You may leave behind a legacy of financial security; however, money is fleeting and often leads to wanting more. Leaving behind a memory, or better still, an example of how fulfilling life should be lived is far more reaching and may sway others into a direction more appropriate to their evolution while on earth.
As you mature and evolve as spirit, you will find that giving without measure actually gives in return internal rewards that far outweigh any material success you may gain. Providing a shoulder to lean on, a smile of reassurance or a congratulating handshake can be far more effective in motivating others and helping them believe in themselves during times of strife.
When it is all said and done, how will you be remembered and what will your achievements provide for those left behind? Be the agent of love and compassion. Be the example that others will follow. Ensure that the example you provide is one of reassurance and growth. When you shed your earthly skin, what legacy will you leave behind?

Believe
As you cross the threshold and open the door to the ever present moment (the here and now), know that the gate to the beyond is here, within your concept of truth. Your beliefs are the key to the awakening process, for without belief, you will go no further. Remain open to faith and allow the unfolding to begin.
This is your life to live and your life to explore. Your life embodies the expectations for your tomorrows. Your unfolding story began long before your birth and was carefully mapped out before your spirit entered this earthly body.
The ego reigns and maintains a place of dominance as long as you identify with this lurking force. Open your eyes to the truth. Understand that the ego matures and ages with the body. It transforms and evolves to maintain its positioning, its stronghold, its supremacy. You, however, are not your ego!
You are transcendent by virtue. You will never cease to exist. You have available to you the vast stored knowledge of time itself. There are countless memories warehoused within, that lie dormant waiting for release--information generated to assist you with your voyage and support you in your times of need.
You are never alone! There are guides along the road that help steer you towards your intended path, ever beckoning you towards your awakening to the truth behind your existence. Just believe and the release of the true self begins. You are connected with the pure essence of all things. You are part of the whole. Believe this. Know this and move onward into the light holding hands with love, reverence and respect for all living things. Let the journey begin and believe.

Jupiter Trine Saturn
Currently, Jupiter and Saturn are making a trine to one another. If you have other planets or your Ascendant or Midheaven is near 18 degrees and particularly in a water sign, these planets will be affecting your life. You could give these interconnecting points and planets a three degree orb of influence -- 15-21 degrees of any sign, but particularly water signs, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. These two planets will be in trine for most of November and December of this year and then again in May and June of 2014 when they make the same connection once again.
Often times, the first connection, which will be in effect now, signifies the earlier stages of the event. The final pass or connection is often indicative of the culminating effects and action taken by you that sets the stage for further unfolding. This is considered a time of equilibrium as well as a sense of order. Although you may have to work diligently towards any given goal, you are in a much better position to reap rewards for hard work. Your professional life, especially if the MC is accentuated during this time, will move steadily towards the intended direction.
The organizational aptitude that these aspects imply will push you towards solid and beneficial rewards for all your hard work. There is an apparent understanding of the rules within the rules and higher learning play a part in these unfolding events. You are more willing to accept life’s obligations and you are working towards improving your future possibilities. It seems that people in authority are more eager to take heed to your advice, as they see potential in your undertakings and realize that this may improve their own personal position.
Saturn is often indicative of older individuals or authority personalities that are now willing to provide you with assistance not only in work related ways, but also in your personal areas of life. You are in a position to gain from their inherent knowledge and if you pay attention, they can assist you towards future goals, both personal and through business.
This is a time to amalgamate many aspects of your life and plan for your future. You can now make peace with any hindrances and obstacles that were in your way, and they may now be removed which will clear the way for the future paths. It is important not to burn any bridges as you move through this passage way of life. You are quite capable of making the adjustments that are required and have the farsightedness to realize your potential.
If the planetary placements under this influence are water, it also signifies emotional balancing. If these positions are in earth, this influence will lean more on the occupational and progressive earthly incentives that you may have been pursuing. If the placements are in fire, it will be a great time to move forward in your objectives and push towards concrete results, as fire indicates action and the affirmative use of force. Watch for any aggressive behaviour or ego involvement. If these positions are in air, this influence would lean more towards intellectual curiosity and stability and would indicated an opening of the learning channels.

Commitment
This is another writing that I stumbled upon written around 1980. I have made some alterations, but very little. It was titled “The Commitment”.
Contentment requires complete dedication to the opening of channels to the one within. There is only one route to travel, and you must make a decision whether or not you are willing to take this route. It will, by no means, be an easy one, and it will take much will power to succeed. The task can, however, be accomplished as we are all capable, but first we must make this total and complete commitment.
This commitment requires much dedication and an earnest effort on your part. First you must take an honest look at yourself and accept what you see. The transformation cannot begin until you have done this.
Next you will need to take a look at yourself from a distance or visualize yourself how you wish you will be in the future. Realize that what you wish to become will be accomplished through baby steps and it will take time to get there. You are human and therefore, you will make mistakes along the way and maybe even have to start over at some point but it is important to keep trying. When you fall, get right back up again and never give up. If you follow these guidelines, you WILL reach your goal.
The greatest part of this commitment is that you must remain true to yourself. Set high standards for yourself. Do not be afraid to reach for the sky. The higher you aim, the greater the outcome.
The speed at which you move holds little importance. The importance lies in the realization that you are moving ahead. Understand that the very wish to attain this goal is pushing you in the right direction. As long as you have a goal in mind, you will progress.
Pay attention to your daily routine, and your reactions to events. What was your first thought that came to mind when reacting to an event? If the reaction is negative, look to the other side of the coin. As time passes and you begin to learn and understand this ability to pay attention and review the minds reactions, your outer circumstances and inner attitudes begin to change. This process will be slow at first, but as you familiarize yourself with this new way of reflecting on yourself, it becomes easier and easier, until finally no effort is required at all. You have now made this positive trait part of your personality.
As your internal views change, your external life changes for your beliefs mold your reality. You are in control; now take command, for your destiny is in your own hands.
In reviewing this writing from 33 years ago, it is obvious to me that our belief structures are in place at a relatively early stage of our personal evolution. We receive guidance continuously as we progress along our life’s path. Even at such an early stage of development, guidance is always available and accessible. The same spiritual teacher still resides within and the echoes of that time are still reflective in today’s development.

We receive guidance continuously as we progress along our life’s path. Even at such an early stage of development, guidance is always available and accessible. The same spiritual teacher still resides within and the echoes of that time are still reflective in today’s development.
