The Capricorn Moon is shining a light on today’s Venus/Saturn conjunction.

If you are a Taurus or a Libra or have a prominent Venus in your chart, you’re feeling this as a weight. Saturn is the planet of authority and under his influence we need to step up, take responsibility, and get things in order. It’s a bit of a sobering influence; we see things for what they really are under Saturn. Things crystalize and consolidate under its influence. Also, Saturn draws a line and as we cross it today, we may realize that there are some things we either can’t take with us or are the remnants of younger, more carefree days. Maybe we’re no longer the student, but instead ready to be the teacher.

We’re also in the run up to tomorrow’s new moon at 19 Capricorn. Between a conjunction to Pluto and a square to Uranus, the next four weeks will provide us with a major pivot point, transformation, or new direction. More on that in tomorrow’s new moon report.
