Back again, dear Friends and Readers…Capricorn is a serious sign. People with NATAL Saturn in their 10th house of career, the Capricorn house, usually have to work from the bottom up to attain any success. There are no shortcuts — long hours, hard work, and attention to all the details — this is their foundation. People with NATAL Saturn must have traditional education — college degree, maybe more than one — to attain success in their career. People with NATAL Saturn in their 1st house of presenting themselves to the outside world are usually shy and NOT confident until they work hard on developing themselves and some skills to share with the world. The point is Saturn is a planet of pressure. Add Pluto conjunct Saturn in this year’s TRANSITS and you have a LOT of pressure. Resistance is futile, so accept the restrictions and pressure and prepare to buckle down and get to work. Figure out by house what is your weak point and sincerely do all that you can to strengthen yourself. I know a guy who is really smart but he is not patient with others. It will be his downfall at work unless he can get a handle on his behavior with co-workers. I know a woman who helps many children but she doesn’t let herself go out to play very much. You guessed it; she has Saturn in her 5th. Looking for a positive example, I know a woman who feels money is somewhat tiresome, but she understands that with Saturn moving into her 8th house, she had better pay attention. And she is doing just that — educating herself about investments and money management in general. It’s those kinds of behaviors that will allow Jupiter in Capricorn to bring positive energy into our lives this year. Jupiter is considered the lucky planet but in Capricorn it’s not going to fall into our laps this year. EFFORT, consistent effort, is required and THEN you get the goodies :)) All you need to do to understand this transit is remember that Saturn brings us what we have already earned. Jupiter might bring it to us a little sooner, or in multiple small doses, but the nature of Capricorn — slow and steady — will prevail…
If you have Capricorn rising, use Jupiter to keep your attitude positive as you slog through a long-term and somewhat restrictive situation. Develop your leadership skills. Read and study about how a good leader empowers and inspires others to do their best. Since the 1st house is also a symbol of our body as well as personality, do all you can to strengthen and heal your bones, joints, and teeth. Keep your eyes on the long-term goals that you have set for yourself. You may need more rest this year, as Saturn in your 1st can dampen down your vitality. Make 2020 the year of the POWER NAP :))
If you have Aquarius rising, then Jupiter will be in your 12th house. This position is called the help at the last minute energy — heavenly help will pull you through when it seems that all is lost. VERY important to add prayer and meditation to your daily life and to read and study the stories of other people who have received this kind of help. Guideposts Magazine would be a good example. People with Saturn in their 12th often work alone — artists, writers, etc. THREE planets in your 12th is a big deal. Your life may require you to face your worst fears. I know a guy who has been diagnosed with a progressive illness. He was afraid of doctors but now has to deal with them. He is actually receiving good medical care, which he admits. He is working hard to maintain a positive attitude, focusing on what he CAN do. The 12th is a tricky house; to me it is the hardest house to understand because it has to do with the contract we agree to before we come to earth. It can be a house of grief and loss and sorrow, but also one of love and peace and serenity.
If you have Pisces rising, then all the Cap transits will be in your 11th house of friends and groups. Think carefully about making commitments to groups this year. If it doesn’t feel right, then honor your intuition. If you find a group that you DO like and feel good about, then you will probably have increased responsibility in this group. It could be a club, a charity, a fraternal organization, a union, or even just a group of friends that gets together on a regular basis. Usually the activity is not purely social, the 11th is the barn-building/quilting bee energy — there is a purpose beyond the moment. If Neptune in Pisces is in your 1st house, then consider joining with others to help the animals or the environment. Cleaning up the beach or helping pet adoption groups would be examples, or planting trees — Uranus in Taurus is making great transits for helping nature, too.
If you have Aries rising, then the 3 Cap planets are potentially challenging you from the 10th house of career, reputation, and authority. Not the easiest time to deal with the government officials, but the transits COULD be encouraging you to be your own authority and not value others peoples’ opinions more than your own. Sometimes Saturn transiting through your 10th will bestow a difficult boss on you, as a shortcut lesson with a lot of pressure on how to be a good boss yourself :)) NOT easy but you will see the value once the squares have passed… I would suspect that you will need to be more precise with details at work and less argumentative. Practice starting your sentences with the word “yes” instead of the word “no” and see if other people become more cooperative. The more professional you behave, the better. You could get a big promotion that throws you off balance. Workshops, coaching, extra training that is related to your career can really help you this year!!
If you have Taurus rising, then all the Cap transits are in your 9th. What a treat !! Could be work-related travel, an overseas move, back to school, an increase in your income coming to you from a distance — all these are possibilities designed to help you grow and not get stuck in a rut. You know you like routine, but Uranus is shaking your life up so you can grow and thrive for years to come. Remote work from home could be another possibility. If you need a new job, consider something related to legal work or higher ed as possibilities. If you are already happy with your career, expect rewards, but the type that will push you to grow. You might need to learn a new language. The gifts you give to others in 2020 should have a touch of good luck attached to them…you want to share prosperity — like a jade plant, or a FengShui frog, or even a small tree to plant as a gift.
If you have Gemini rising, then Capricorn would be your 8th house of shared money matters — things like taxes, insurance, inheritance, investments, mutual funds, etc. Jupiter here can make it easy to get credit, so don’t overextend yourself because Saturn-Pluto says you will have to pay the piper. However, if you need a long-term loan, like a refi on a mortgage to get a lower rate, then do so, but don’t do it just to get equity out. PLEASE do yourself a favor and ask questions about all things financial and write down the answers in a notebook that is dedicated to 8th house issues. Live within your budget and obey all financial rules concerning taxes, retirement funds, etc. Get to know and really understand all insurance policies that you have. Ask questions!! Look for mistakes or misunderstandings !! Doublecheck everything very carefully and act like Mercury is retrograde all year — that should keep you out of trouble. If it was me and I was in any kind of financial partnership, then I would be very cautious and keep an eye on the books. This is not a favorable year to loan money or property to someone because it could be a long time or never until you get it back. That being said, the positives are all in the area of educating yourself about these areas…remember the old phrase…”Give a man a fish and you’ve fed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you’ve fed him for a lifetime.” Teach yourself how to be the fisherman!!
Well, time for lunch, my friends…more manana…Best wishes, Jenae
