How’s the Plutonian energy treating you? Are you feeling it? Mmmm hmmm. That’s what I thought. A very good friend of mine is a Capricorn and in quick succession, he got laid off from a well paying job that he had been at for the last five years, and then went through a troubling emotional crisis with his mother, who is undergoing cancer therapy. I have another friend, Capricorn, who just lost his wife, a long suffering, semi-hermit with Hep C. She passed just after Pluto moved into Capricorn. She was a Cap as well. This is how Pluto works it’s magic. First it tears down and at times, even physically removes obstacles in ones life and then steadily builds them back up. I have no doubt that my friend will heal his relationship with his mother, find a more perfect job and build his life anew in structures that will last him deep into his life and my other friend will find the space in his life without his wife, liberating and allow him to take on new projects he had been holding back for quite sometime. That, again, is how Pluto works it’s magic. In the meantime, Jupiter is here to lend a helping hand to that process as it moves beneath the surface, rewiring the material/spiritual circuitry of all Capricorns. Jupiter is calling you to follow your dreams and move forward in confidence and that the universe will provide you with opportunities that a more aligned with your ultimate purpose. Dare to ask for what you desire.

This Mercury retrograde may make you just slightly forgetful and gltichy. You might stumble and search for words and even stutter ever-so-slightly. Don’t worry, this is a passing phase, but it does mean that you need to consider your thoughts and words carefully from mid January through mid-February.

Your peak months in 2009 are: January, February, March, April, May, June, September and November.
