Capricorn Horoscope for January 2015

Your birthday time continues, Capricorn, and it is rebirth that you seek. You are in for another vibrant month of change as you resume your self-imposed task of soul growth in this powerful season. You are still in motion, your sense of yourself on the line, as much as you have been all this past year. Surprises on the home front are also clues that foster a thought process that is vital for your continued well being. You cannot hesitate but must find within yourself the intrepid explorer, delving down within to bring up the pearl of wisdom. The fear that does not allow you to relax and let go into the chaos that inevitably precedes new birth is perhaps only a mirage. This is to be banished by an act of will arising out of the very depths of your being.

As the month begins, you are still feeling the energy from the extremely potent Solstice New Moon in your sign from about ten days ago, on the 21st of December. This gave you tons of energy to pursue your goals, and also the accompanying mandate to make these goals more clear to you, and to that evolving presence within you that you could call your Higher Self. You have been in a months-long sustained effort of getting to know yourself better in this most vital center of your being, an endeavor that noted 20th Century psychologist C. G. Jung was inclined to term your 'individuation' process. Some of the fruit of this long period of labor might be coming to you over these next few months.

Your ruling planet, Saturn, has just transitioned from his journey through the moody depths of Scorpio into the expansive and optimistic realms of Sagittarius, falling in your twelfth solar sector of unconscious process and mystery. You may be tapping into a deeper sense of your own inner workings, giving in to a curiosity about what lies beyond or beneath the well-lighted spaces of your conscious mind. Worldly goals are your sign's natural bread and butter, and yet now you may find your energy shifting ever so subtly toward the inner and etheric realm where things are not so easily quantifiable. This feeling of greater internal presence is amplified by the retrograde of Mercury, in a prominent sector of your solar chart; this takes place after the 21st, continuing for the remainder of this month and all of next.

As you adjust to the many changes that are underway in your life, moving forward requires coming to greater consciousness in terms of who you now consider yourself to be, and the further exploration of who you still wish to become. This endeavor is enhanced and amplified this month by your relationship to the material realm; perhaps your drive and ambition in financial terms is somewhat tied to a sense of identity that you now see as a false one. By understanding your deeper parts, you can begin to release the negative patterns that bind you. Ultimately this can lead to breakthrough for you in terms of feeling sound and stable in your psychological foundation, your worldview, and yourself, as well as at peace with your parents and family of origin.

Jupiter's expansive influence is also amplified this month, and falls in your eighth solar sector of intimacy and personal evolution. Jupiter remains in trine aspect to the new planet, Eris, past Pluto, symbolizing discovering your soul intention for this lifetime. You are beginning to see that an important part of your sense of purpose or passion for life is embedded in the intimate relationships your cherish most, and your home environment, which is intrinsically tied to this sense of being close to loved ones. The very nature of being in intimate relation requires deep learning of other and of self, and this process is highlighted for you now.
