Capricorn Horoscope for January 2013


Posted on January 2, 2013 by Henry Seltzer of ASTROGRAPH.COM
 

This is yet another month of your ongoing process of change, Capricorn, in your birthday time, as you enter a new phase with this new year. You have been in the pressure cooker of transformation all these past months, and are beginning to recognize the signposts of your journey forward. You are coming out ahead of where you started but you seem to have a long way still to go. This seems discouraging until you remind yourself of the great benefits that have already accrued in terms of self-knowledge and better recognition of what you need, at soul-level. Like the traveler on the mountain path, new vistas emerge as you gain each ridge, and a new viewpoint enables you to see still more upward reaches that you might yet achieve.

As the month begins, you are feeling the pressure for change and also your resistance to it, as has been the case for any months now. There has recently been a push for greater conscious awareness in this area, stemming from the recent Full Moon in your opposite sign of the closing days of the old year. This time period has been fraught with the prospect of massive change, emphasizing transformative Pluto in your sign, in strong aspect with Saturn, your ruler, and now positioned in your sector of societal connection and future plans.

It is likely that you have felt a growing impulse for new initiatives and group affiliations that would more closely align with what you have been coming to understand as your soul purpose, that dharma that you came into this lifetime to fulfill. It is a great unconscious wisdom that you have come closer to in recent weeks conveying intimations of what your inner mission statement might in fact consist of. This also aligns with changes that are simultaneously taking place within you.

You realize that something has to give, yet still you hesitate. This is entirely natural and an important and necessary part of your process. You are proceeding with both optimism and caution these day; they each loom large. It does take both, because you cannot help but remain true to yourself and your basic nature, and yet the time is ripe for fundamental changes that you have long contemplated and that really need to take place.

The shift that needs to come might be in the direction of a renewed sense of what it is that you truly value, and where your sense of security derives. This area of your life, including your relationship to the material world and your sense of family and tribe, is definitely a changing landscape for you now, as you and the society that surrounds you goes through a period of adjustment and a reordering of priorities. You might find that you are more comfortable with uncertainty as this new year presents, and continues to work itself out, and this can be a great benefit going forward; a way to be less stuck in old perspectives that do not entirely work for you any longer.

With the Last Quarter Moon of Friday, January 4th, you are in a complex place of both greater social involvement both in public and in private, concerning home and family, along with a more contemplative attitude concerning everything that is going on, which with one part of your mind you are silently witnessing without judgment. With this lunar phase you are engaged in a process of reevaluating what has gone on before this moment in time, and where you are headed after it.

The New Moon in your sign of Friday, January 11th, is of course a powerful one for you, and connects you with both your outer world presence and your deep interior spaces also, especially how these latter parts of yourself relate to what you now conceive as soul purpose. You are in a real movement for greater alignment of your detailed plans and social commitments with what inner guidance is inclining you toward. Your intuition is quite active now and there could be important revelations that will ensue to the extent that you can stay open to them. This is reality from an extraordinary standpoint that does not immediately connect across to the more superficial realities of consensus thinking but which does connect when you look more closely into the deeper truth of your situation.

The First Quarter Moon of a week later, taking place on Friday, January 18th, is another very interesting juncture, when you are making further experiments in truth and reality. There is a way that you are discovering more about who you are through running up against obstacles in trying to accomplish your goals. These date and the weekend that follows represents a time period when your initial agenda from the time of the New Moon might need to be modified in the light of complications that arise.

With the Full Moon of the last weekend of the month, taking place on Saturday, January 26th, you reach another important stage of intense connection to spiritual inner values, and one of better integration of everything that has gone before. This is a point of melding public and private concerns, with pressure on your outer world commitments and as well a greater sense of life purpose unfolding through you. You are being pulled to both of these important directions and are challenged to find how they fit together for you as you move forward with your life path into a vibrant year of exploration and new discoveries.
