"To pry for hidden things, to smell out riches hidden in the veins of the earth -- these skills will come from you." Manilius, 1st Century
A New Moon in the super tenacious cardinal earth sign of Capricorn is at 21 degrees (46 minutes) -- rounded up to 22. Mercury forms a stellium (a clutch of planets) with the Sun-Moon at 17 Capricorn, and Pluto (9 degrees) and Venus (3 degrees) add to the constellation. The very best qualities of Capricorn rise now -- fierce perseverance, dedication to what matters, commonsense, strong character -- to root into the depths of your being.
There's a very strong Uranian current happening. The raw energy of Mars is moving through Aquarius (Uranus' own sign of flash downloads). That unpredictable Mars is in a square to Saturn (in Scorpio) to jostle the psychic foundations. The fresh turf you land on may startle you, even as it's wildly energizing. What settles and where you settle can be wholly unexpected.
Venus joins Pluto in a square to the shocking evolutionary impulse-charger Uranus. A fresh jolt hits relationships, and can be liberating (though possibly distressing at first). What's up now is the paradox of being responsible to those we love, and being true to the emerging self. There can be shake-ups, if old contracts are broken, to be free to act on current inspiration.
This is a chance to earth the astonishing new, with Uranian forces meeting Saturnian ones. The discipline and self-control of Capricorn squares off with Uranus to blast out embedded riches from your original essence -- this is a recipe for finding your way, and being excited by the future.
