Your Cosmic Outlook for Winter 2006 The winter solstice on December 21st marks one of four major spiritual “gateways” or power times that happen each year. During the solstice the barrier between the physical realm and the spiritual dimension becomes thinner. The spirit of the solstice will remain strong as we move into the New Year, so early January is a great time for goal-setting, meditation, and affirmation. Capricorn energies will be strong through the end of January. Capricorn is that hard-working Earth sign represented by the hardy mountain goat. But early astrologers looked at this sign in a very different way. Capricorn was once connected to Oannes, a half-man, half-fish creature. The human side of Capricorn was grounded in the material realm but his watery side was attuned to the world of psychic forces. To this day, despite a change in its associated symbol, Capricorn retains a deeply intuitive aspect. People born under this sign possess a unique sensitivity. From December 22nd through January 20th the sun will be in the sign of Capricorn. There is also a new moon in Capricorn on December 30th, and Venus is in Capricorn for most of January. Mercury is in Capricorn from January 4th through January 23rd. All of this Capricorn energy means that people born under the Earth signs of Capricorn, Virgo, and Taurus should experience heightened confidence and enthusiasm as they focus on projects carrying them throughout January. Action planet Mars remains in Taurus through January and most of February, giving Earth signs an extra boost of positive energy all winter long. All of the signs will be inspired to roll up their sleeves, adopt a “Can do” attitude, and set some powerful intentions for what they wish to manifest throughout 2006. A spirit of discipline and an increased sense of responsibility are likely to be felt by all. Here are some astrological tips to help you make the most out of these current energy trends: * Access the strong spiritual energy brought forward from the solstice. Heartfelt prayer and joyful meditation will come easily to everyone as the New Year begins. * Throughout the winter months, take inspiration from the dual aspect of Capricorn. Give yourself permission to be both practical and whimsical. Even if you’re busy with work and family responsibilities, make some time to create sacred space and go within. * Embrace the hard-working side of Capricorn energy as you apply yourself to challenging projects in the New Year. You’ll be inspired to get things done. Overall, this winter will be a great period for connecting with spiritual inspiration and accessing motivation to propel you forward through a successful year. So go for it!
