New Moon in Capricorn: Out of Sight, Out of Mind?

On the 10th January, the New Moon will be in the tropical sign of Capricorn and will be conjunct Pluto. None of this will be visible to our unaided human eyes--except for the sun.

In mythology, Pluto was in charge of the Underworld and he was the abductor of the goddess Persephone. He was out of our sight too but you could always smell him coming. 

This New Moon is an opportunity to confront what we can't see. A bit like standing up to the Bogeyman in the dark. What is one to do?

Close your eyes and use the force!

This is a highly intuitive time and one to be used to face your deepest fears. To refuse to face up to what frightens you is to give power to it.

When Hercules faced the deadly Hydra, he quickly realised that chopping its heads off wasn't going to work. And then he remembered the advice he was given: 

"We rise by kneeling, we conquer by surrendering, we gain by giving up."

And so our hero dropped his sword and knelt in the creature's disgustingly smelly slime. And with his great strength, he was able to lift her to the sun. The monster shrivelled in the sunlight and left behind a jewel.

And so it is with our greatest fears. Lift them to the light. No matter how dark it may seem, a little light will illuminate the darkest corners.

Pisces January 2016

31 January

Sometimes life makes your best laid plans grind to a halt. Don't take delays as a "no". They are what they--just little hiccups on the road to success.

30 January

You got some pretty big ideas but do you have the energy to act on them? You are an inspiration to others but don't think you have to do everything on your own.

29 January

Hanging out with your friends should make you happy, not paranoid. Everyone likes you--and if they don't, well then it's their loss.

28 January

Being surrounded by people who seem to know what they are doing can lead you to the impression you can just sit back and let them make all the decisions. Don't fall for it: if want something, you have to make the effort.

27 January

You find yourself in a tight spot because you are looking in the wrong direction. You need to get the boss on side, not his/her subordinates.

26 January

Others are down to you for your deep sense of sympathy and understanding. Be the shoulder for someone to cry on. Bring kleenex.

25 January

It's going to be much harder than usual to keep yourself together. There's a lot of background noise and your internal radar can't pick up the signals.

24 January

It’s time to focus on your health and vitality. If you doubt this, have a good long look in the mirror before you disregard the need to look after your health.

23 January

Re-evaluating your friendships is difficult because you want to see the good in everyone. But remember--not everyone has your best interests at heart.

22 January

Over the next month, you will be focused on your spirituality. For you this is as easy as falling to sleep.

21 January

Some may say your head is in the clouds. But remember, this just gives you a great vantage point to see what everyone else is up to.

20 January

The only way to avoid confusion is to be careful. Easier said than done, eh? Perhaps you need a reliable sidekick to double check the important stuff.

19 January

You seem very distracted today. Perhaps it would be a good idea to leave the more dangerous jobs for someone who is a little more awake.

18 January

No one will say anything if you overindulge--at least not to your face. Decorum Pisces, decorum.

17 January

Indulgences? We love them! Unfortunately not everyone approves--forget all about them and enjoy yourself.

16 January

For someone so often accused of being disorganised, you are doing a great job of holding everything together. Long may it reign (or not!).

15 January

Today is one of those days that you should consider what you both need from and can offer to others. Giving is a two way street you know.

14 January

If it all gets to be too much, find solace amongst friends. There are many people who would welcome the chance to look after you.

13 January

You are in your element today as everyone scrambles to make sense of what is going on. As you well know, it always pays to use your intuition.

12 January

Lucky you for possessing a certain amount of psychic ability. Today it comes in handy--trust your intuition to get what you want in your career.

11 January

As tempting as it may be, you can continue to stick your head in the sand and pretend all will sort itself on it own. Get in there.

10 January

You are very good at embracing experiences that allow you to become lost in the crowd. But the new moon invites you to consider how you can step to the plate and be the one to hold everyone together.

9 January

Who does friendship mean to you? Can anyone be your friend or are you more selective? And what do these people want from you? And can you realistically deliver it?

8 January

Yes you will have to step away from the chaos you seem to thrive on. Things will blow over eventually.

7 January

Step away from disagreements in the workplace. There will be attempts to pull you in but you need to be firm.

6 January

There's an awful lot that needs to get done today and you're just chasing your tail. Stop going around in circles for a few minutes and hatch a better plan.

5 January

Listen to instructions very carefully today. Even ask for them to be repeated. Follow directions and pay attention.

4 January

Put your imagination to good use today. Daydream of faraway places, foreign dignitaries and high priestesses. Tell your stories in whatever form you prefer.

3 January

It's OK Pisces, turn over and go back to sleep. Let your subconscious speak to you and when you're ready to get up, tell us the answers to the questions we've been asking.

2 January

It can be difficult for you keep your focus. But these days you surprise others with your sudden show of ambition.

1 January 2016

This month financial dealings come to the fore and you may feel you have no choice but to enlist in the help of more monetary minded friends to give you some advice. This is something that may be distinctly uncomfortable for you because it involves getting down to the nitty gritty of the inner workings of your values and motivations. You’re a free spirit after all—or so you like to think. The New Moon on the 10 January calls you to pay attention to the people you associate with. And you know not everyone you deal with is as honest and open about their dealings as you are. Because of this you may feel you have to cut ties or form alliances with people you wouldn’t normally associate with. The Full Moon on the 24 January invites you to use your intuition to decide how you want to proceed. Be clear, be decisive and be sure of what you want.

Aquarius January 2016

31 January

Over the next day or two, there will be some conflicts in the workplace. Yes, they will be stressful but they can also unblock some obstacles in your path.

30 January

Yes it's all about you today--and don't other people know it! Step into the limelight and bask in all it's glory--you know you want to.

29 January

Shouldn't you be getting on with something? Take some time to re-group and then get on with it. Today is not a duvet day.

28 January

Commitments to financial deals may be met with unexpected challenges. Take extra care when signing contracts--all may not be as it should.

27 January

Money may be too tight to mention but there are other ways of having fun. Use your imagination for a change.

26 January

Working with others is your forte but there is something that is making you uneasy. It's best to ask questions now rather than wait until its too late.

25 January

No, they are not really conspiring against you. Your imagination is running a little wild today. Double check facts.

24 January

Your relationships with others comes into sharp focus. Perhaps you feel you are not being treated fairly. Or, quite possibly, your other half feels neglected.

23 January

Pay attention to your dreams. There is an important message within them that could transform your life.

22 January

Over the next month, you will be focused on self development and on searching for ways to bring people together.

21 January

The spotlight is on you and under such a circumstance, you feel distinctly uncomfortable. Be comforted by the thought that others see the very best in you.

20 January

It's hard to please everyone so you have to make up your mind about ho is most deserving of your attention. Life is tough sometimes and you can't have your way all the time.

19 January

Be aware that there are people in this world who will take advantage of your generosity. Put your feet down as needed.

18 January

Sometimes achieving your ambitions is not as important as helping someone else achieve theirs. A little encouragement is all that is needed.

17 January

Don't even say it. Just don't. Today is a day made for misunderstandings.

16 January

As far as emotions are concerned, you have ticked the "aloof" box several times. Surprise someone by telling them how you really feel.

15 January

"Addiction" is a word that gets thrown around an awful lot these days. It's worth remembering today that not all addictions are to substances. What are some things you don't think you could live without?

14 January

Peace and solitude. That's why you need. Find a quiet corner at some point in your busy day and let stillness wash over you.

13 January

You're going to have to dig deep to work out what is going on with financial transactions. Something is amiss--don't ignore it.

12 January

Try focusing n what you want and need for once. Sometimes you have to play unfair in order to ensure you are treated with equity. 

11 January

Personal ambitions are entangled in emotional demands. You will not be able to avoid expressing your emotions (yes, you do have them).

10 January

You don't like all the fluffy bunny stuff--but too bad. This new moon invites you to look deep into your spiritual journey. What will take with you and what will you leave behind?

9 January

With every break for freedom, there has to be a sacrifice--something gets left behind. What will you have to give up?

8 January 

You may be having a hard time thinking straight. So perhaps it's best to keep away from the centre of disputes until everything calms down.

7 January

So many friends, so little money. Band together for group discounts and you can still have your get together. 

6 January

Everyone is complaining about the internet and you're the only one with the solutions. Well at least that's what it feels like.

5 January

When you go around acting like you know everything, you shouldn't be surprised when folks put your knowledge to the test.

4 January

Today, you've woken up feeling feisty. That's all well and good but just mind the tone of your voice. There are some people who don't take well to be bossed around.

3 January

You're at your quick thinking best over these next few weeks. It's time to get networking, get writing and get impressing the clever people around you.

2 January

How can being with friends be so much work? Because you need to put your foot down far more often with people who don't do what they're supposed to be doing.

1 January

This month you will be focused on extending your reach whilst maintaining a certain amount of privacy. You may find that you have dealings with people from far away places or with unusual spiritual beliefs who want to draw you close to them so they can see what you’re really like. For an Aquarian, who values their independence and sense of autonomy, this can seem terrifying. Who are these people and what do they want? To answer this question, have a think about what you need. Your own beliefs are important and you should not feel obligated to share or demonstrate your convictions for them. But as the New Moon on 10 January draws near, you may feel you have to sacrifice your privacy in order to reach certain goals. As the Full Moon on 24 January approaches, you will feel the pressure to reveal all. Remember that these dealings are all about the give and the take.

Capricorn January 2016

31 January

Well it's all out in the open now. You feel relieved you no longer have to keep secrets--at least that's what you should be telling people!

30 January

You certainly have the competitive edge today--but it won't win you any friends. Other folks are running a little scared. Is this what you want?

Astrology special on David Bowie here

For info on personal consultations via Skype, contact AstroAlex1984 and mention Don't Sweat It, Planet.

29 January

You may feel like you're walking around the workplace with a "kick me" sign taped to your butt. It isn't you who is the problem--it's them. Keep that in mind.

28 January

The temptation to lean towards pessimism is quite strong today. Things really aren't as bad as they seem. Have some faith.

27 January

You're tongue and hands may be tied but that only means you can resort to those Higher Powers to get the job done. A little humility will do you no harm.

26 January

Final plans are about to be revealed--again. Doing things over frustrates you but bear in mind, not everyone can get it right the first time.

25 January

You may like everyone and everything to be up front and straightforward. But that's not how the game is going to be played today. Watch your back.

24 January

It’s always a good idea to keep on top of your finances but more so today. Draw p plans to re-pay debts quickly and use today to check out possible investments.

23 January

You may feel that you have been turned inside out and back again. But you are left with the distinct idea you are far tougher than you thought.

22 January

Over the next month, you will very focused on securing your finances. Business deals and discovering new ways of increasing your net worth will preoccupy you.

21 January

You may feel as if other people are communicating behind your back and it makes you feel very uneasy indeed. Keep your goals in mind and don’t lose your focus.

20 January

Well, you've had enough of the spotlight. Your focus is shifting to more important things--like money. Peace and quiet is coming soon.

19 January

This is the kind of day you love the most: lots going on and everyone is looking to you to get things done and up to standard. Enjoy.

18 January

Folks can hardly believe it--but you're ready to have some fun. Go easy--hangovers suck.

17 January

It's all coming together very nicely. Let minor setbacks slide by--there will be other opportunities to get things right.

16 January

With everyone so keen to talk about their "true feelings" it can be hard to passively stand by and listen. Why not join in with the "sharing"?

15 January

You are so good at taking responsibility for everyone and everything. It's time to cut some ties and let others do the work for a change.

14 January

It's about time someone cut you some slack. You needed it--and more importantly, you deserve it. The gods are shining on you.

13 January

It's one of those when no one seems to get it. Just don't think you're the only one immune to that particular feeling.

12 January

Say what you like but be prepared to have to re-explain. Folks tend to read all manner of nonsense into your communications.

11 January

Don't do business with friends. If you do, be prepared to re-negotiated the terms and conditions ad nauseum.

10 January

Confronting what we don't like about ourselves can be a frightening experience. But it is time to make some serious changes.

9 January

It's all coming to a head and you can feel. Spend some time in quiet contemplation today. There's an awful lot on your plate.

8 January

The art of a good business deals lies in the element of surprise. Just make sure you are keeping your eye on the ball.

7 January

For someone who prides themselves of being organised, you sure are letting the side down today. You don't seem to know what you're doing!

6 January

Be clear about expectations today. Your normally clear self is undergoing an awful lot of distractions. Watch your step.

5 January

You come across as a very formidable foe--no wonder some people can't resist having a go to test how hard you really are.

4 January

If you put the work into it (and you always put the work into it), today could be a great day for networking. But it won't be easy.

3 January

You're tops when it comes to business deals but today you might just outdo yourself--even though it's a Sunday. Do you ever just relax?

2 January

You aways have a lot of work to do but have you ever considered whether or not your work benefits others? Other people need your help.

1 January 2016

You of course are a businessperson. You understand how businesses work and how to make them work for you. The problem is you don’t really see yourself as other people see you—and you are really giving out the idea that you are overly ambitious to the point of being ruthless. Is this the kind of image you want to put out there? This is a month for considering your reputation and for having a very good sense of how you want the world to view you. There is nothing wrong with ambition—but there is something wrong with holding people away from you at arm’s length just to get them away from what you want. The New Moon on the 10 January gives you the opportunity to re-think your position in society. By the time of the Full Moon on the 24 January, you have a far clearer sense of your personal values and will see a way to forward your career without scaring everyone off.
