Vol. 118: Solomon’s Mine

This week sees 2 important markers come to pass. The first is the annual winter solstice, which occurs on the 22^nd. The other is the yearly movement of Jupiter into a new sign. On Tuesday, the 18^th, Jupiter enters Capricorn, where the big planet will remain until early 2009. But before examining the essential nature of Jupiter in Capricorn, it is important to consider the difference between Jupiter in Sagittarius and Capricorn.

Jupiter’s Transition

Jupiter is powerful and comfortable in Sagittarius, one of the Signs Jupiter is said to rule. In Sagittarius, Jupiter inspires tremendous faith and reveals the raw power of belief. Here Jupiter inflates expectations and expands perspectives. He unlocks possibilities that are only possible by the belief in their possibility. Jupiter’s presence in Sagittarius is considered to be a positive force active throughout the entire year that he is in the sign. The ballooned popularity of the popular “belief-magic” system, “The Secret” in 2007 is an example of Jupiter’s work.

In Capricorn, Jupiter will show a very different face. Whereas Jupiter in Sagittarius provides abundant opportunities to expand one’s beliefs, Jupiter in Capricorn shifts the focus rather drastically earthwards, concentrating on creating material evidence for one’s perspective.

Because Capricorn is in Saturn’s domain, much of the growth which Jupiter provides will come as a result of cutting away what is inessential and organizing what remains. This provides a classic formula: growth through limitation, expansion through contraction. Rewards are possible, but will likely be delayed. Jupiter in Capricorn favors careful, responsible growth, especially that growth that comes as a result of taking on the challenge of greater organization and responsibility.

Wherever he treads on the wheel of the skies, Jupiter stimulates spiritual and religious growth. While in Capricorn, Jupiter will provide energy for those creeds which are conservative and established or very concerned with the material world. Evangelical fundamentalists and Satanists should both have a good year.

Demands of the Real

While Jupiter in Sagittarius encouraged people to follow the possibilities of what they believed in, Jupiter in Capricorn encourages those with vision to build the great earthy bones that will support what they have seen. This sounds fine and dandy until one considers what happens when vision becomes empire. Poor Jesus must have a lengthy commentary on the subject. What exists in vision and belief is pure- it has had to make none of the compromises necessary for manifestation. And yet it is that very possibility of manifestation that makes vision such a tantalizing thing.

In order to manifest something divine, one has to deal with the less-than-divine forces of the material world. Visualization’s great, but nothing substantial was ever built without organization, effort, and a willingness to get one’s hand’s dirty.

Solomon’s Art

The Vedic astrologers refer to Jupiter as “Guru,” which means, roughly, “spiritual teacher.” And so it is helpful when we are trying to understand Jupiter’s work in a particular sign to ask ourselves who the new Guru is? Jupiter in Capricorn is a more severe teacher than Jupiter in Sagittarius.

One is reminded of the stories of Solomon the King, a biblical patriarch around whom a host of stories swirl. Solomon was a magician and the builder of a great temple. And how did this pillar of holiness construct his temple? With the hands of angels, the gossamer touch of ethereal wings? No. King Solomon called on the service of the spirits of the material world, demons to the Hebrews. One by one, he bound them to the task of constructing his temple. And this is important. He bound them to what he considered a holy task. He did not bind himself to a materialistic task, but instead bound materialistic forces to a spiritual task. Nice work. To this day, there is an entire branch of the occult focuses on this task, with Solomon as the key figure.

If we take Solomon as our teacher for the year that Jupiter is in Capricorn, then what is he here to teach? Clearly, he’s here to help us get our demons organized, obedient, and ready to lay foundations. Although having an army of demons sounds sweet, a brief moment of meditation on the subject makes it clear that problems abound. Those powerful forces of the material world and our own lower natures are the key to presence in the real world, and yet each offers a powerful distraction to the very purpose which would task them. When doing this type of work it is easy to let the process of manifestation eclipse the ideals which prompted the task in the first place.

It is also difficult because the very forces one needs to make one’s vision real tend to contradict the nature of that vision. For the pure of heart , there is a tendency to shy away from dealing with such forces. Between being afraid to involve such things in one’s vision and being led off one’s original path, the lessons and training program that Jupiter in Capricorn presents are not easy nor are they consequence-free.

Astrology Dec. 10th-16th: Empires' Tide

Volume 117: Empires' Tide

This week, we take a break from our focus on the personal implications of the planet's positions to consider something on a larger scale. This Tuesday hosts the conjunction of Jupiter with Pluto in Sagittarius. This rare event occurs only once every 250 years or so. Jupiter's conjunction with Pluto in Sagittarius is attuned to the life cycles of the collective, and marks a decisive shift in the currents of world history.

When Mars stationed retrograde last month, there were earthquakes and typhoons within the very day. Although it may color the day, the Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in Sag is a historical marker, not simply a single or quick string of events. Each time it occurs, the form of world power begins to shift. An empire, representing a type of power, starts to decay while another, representing the new form of power begins to rise. A quick look at the outlines of Western history during the last 3 of these conjunctions will make the pattern clear.

Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in Sagittarius, 1260 AD:

In 1260, the Mongol Empire began its decline, facing its first decisive defeat by the Mamluks, at Ain Jalut in Palestine. Kublai Khan succeeds mighty Ghenghis Khan, and presides over the Mongol's waning years. Meanwhile, in Europe, the rising hegemony of the Church is marked by the completion of the Cathedral at Chartres, an achievement that took decades to complete. Construction on 3 more cathedral projects begins soon after. These cathedrals marks the growing power of the Church as the dominant force which binds all of Europe. Papal hegemony up, Mongols down!

Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in Sagittarius, 1509 AD:

The next conjunction of Jupiter and Pluto in Sagittarius happens in 1509. Just as 1260 marked the hegemony of papal power with the Cathedral at Chartres and the decline of the Mongol threat, 1509 hosts 2 events which mark the end of Church ascendancy in Europe. The first is the coronation of England's notorious Henry the VIII. Henry the VIII was the first European monarch who broke from Vatican power and established state control of religion. The Church of England, the first successful large scale revolt against Rome and is considered to have paved the way for the Reformation. It is also interesting to note that Erasmus' Praise of Folly was also written in 1509. Praise of Folly was a wildly popular satire of the Church considered to be one of the seeds of the Reformation. European Papal power, which was on the rise during the last Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in Sagittarius, now gives way to the sovereignty of the European nations, who spend the next several centuries in ruthless pursuit of every part of the world they can get their hands on. Dueling Monarchies up, Papal power down!

Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in Sagittarius, 1758 AD:

1758 is smack dab in the middle of the 7 Years war, whose immediate consequence was to dethrone France from its position at the head of the European pack. In the following years, both France and England's New World colony undergo bloody Democratic revolutions where the Monarchy itself is overthrown. Although England jumps into the top-spot after France, the shift in power here is not simply from France to England. England becomes the world's first global super-power, a position later usurped by its former colony, the United States. Capitalist super-powers up, dueling Monarchies down!

Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in Sagittarius, 2007 AD:

Which brings us to the present. The United States, the winner of the last round's game, is currently in the middle of what may very well be a "7 Year War," and is facing a host of problems, both internal and external. Health care and education are both in dire need of reform, while slumbering economic titans India, China, and Russia are beginning to stir. Does this mean the end of the United States? Certainly not. But it does mark the end of the era of the Global Capitalist Superpower, begun by England at the last Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in Sagittarius. The world emerging will be shared by many giants, not ruled by one. It is the beginning of Global Feudalism, where the nuclear and economic heavy-weights jockey for control of the world and its resources. It is the world foreseen by cyber-punk writers and post-modern theorists, a world of international corporate feudalism. A world of global tribes. World peace? World government? Not a chance. Check in at the next Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in Sag, 250 years from now. Perhaps then we'll see Karl Marx's prophesied transition from capitalism to communism.

If we examine these roughly 250 year periods, we notice that there is an alternation between periods of unity and multiplicity. The West is united under the Church, whose power dissolves, leaving a pack of competing powers. Then the age of competing powers is overwhelmed by the emergence of the global super-power. The era we are on the cusp of is analogous to the last transition from unity to multiplicity, when the Church's hegemony over Europe was broken and the era of competing European nations ensued. Call it Colonization 2.0.

This is a gigantic topic. Little can be done in this constrained format but to scratch the surface of the political, religious, cultural and economic character of this shift. It is important to note that although the Jupiter-Pluto conjunction marks turning points, it is Pluto's movement into Capricorn in the following decades that sees the structure of the old systems decay while those of the new gain ascendancy.

Now back to your regularly scheduled horoscopes.

Horoscopes: December 10^th-16^th

Note on Horoscopes: 12 Fold horoscopes are a way to assess the general condition of the splayed rays of the zodiac. Although not without value, they are a blunt tool, and can only describe the archetypal activity in each power-zone. In order to sharpen the accuracy of the horoscopes, read your Sun Sign if you were born in the day-time, and read your Moon Sign if you were born at night. Reading the Sign in which the Ascendant is placed is also advised.

Aries: Misguided Missiles

The Sagittarian season is a generally jollier time for you than the cold tunnel of Scorpio. And although a multitude of planets throng about in Sagittarius, Venus is still creeping through Scorpio. You're likely being led to a heightened understanding of how your misguided missiles are impacting those around you. Although you are subject to these lessons in further self-limitation, the general levity of the time will prevent you from getting lost down any holes.

Taurus: Want

Perhaps you could do without the level of unnecessary levity the Sagittarian season brings. The focus for Taurus is still quite squarely set upon the subject of the desire that you're ensnared in. You're likely unsure whether your current obsession is worth your time or if you're trying to dig a tunnel to a treasure that doesn't exist. Venus' coming trine to Uranus will provide the illumination you need in this particular matter.

Gemini: Habit Formation Pattern

The amount of Sagittarius present in the season has had you looking at yourself from angle usually reserved for others. The Sagittarian season may also be temporarily accelerating the rate at which you partake of your bad habits. There are prizes to be won and cash to be had in limiting the amount of time and energy you spend on habits that you see little return from. Think about it.

Cancer: Walk The Line, Sideways

This time is somewhat less joyous for the Cancers than the other tribes of the zodiac. It's likely that you feel awhirl in a series of draining interactions. This particular set of difficulties is in the process of testing and refining your set of responses to having your shell pierced. You will profit by addressing problematic interactions but will cause greater pains for yourself by getting caught in a fight.

Leo: We Don't Negotiate With Leos

Good times and holiday cheer are fine mood altering substances for Leos. But there is a circle of draining and unpleasant interactions coloring your emotional life right now that detracts from otherwise pleasant times. The root of these likely lies in bargains you've made with people and parts of yourself that you never should have negotiated with. Live and learn.

Virgo: Roots

The abundance of planets in Sagittarius likely signifies a number of powerful and positive changes taking place at your foundations. It may be a positive change of residence or simply a replanting of your emotional roots. At the same time, your social circle is looking troubled. Powerful but untrustworthy social contacts may be offering benefits that are not likely to last.

Libra: Weighed Down

The holiday season sees you out and about at social events, but you're having a difficult time getting your Libra on. The stress from your retrograde professional situation is likely affecting your ability to hold on to the mood you'd like to have at your disposal. Don't let moments of imbalance weigh too heavily on one side of the scales. Your perspective on the situation is soon to change.

Scorpio: Flux Capacitor

Venus' ongoing visit through Scorpio's dark abode and the bonanza of planets in Sagittarius indicate a rather tight focus on financial issues, with the likelihood of an opportunity unveiling itself. Despite positive developments, your situation is still in the midst of a several month period where your perspective as well as your location may be in flux. Let go of limiting emotional perspectives and move with things.

Sagittarius: Joop-Joop!

Happy birthday, Sagittarius-es. Consider the holiday explosion of Sagittarius in the skies to be a going away for Jupiter, who has graced your sign for all of 2007. You can thank Jupiter for the extra positivity in your perspective, as well as any get out of jail free cards you may have received this year. What? Not everything went as you wanted it to? Too bad. When Jupiter moves into Capricorn, you'll have even less support. Don't expect the planetary powers to do everything for you.

Capricorn: Black Holes and Quasars

There are both bright and dark stars rising on the horizon for Capricorn. Jupiter's coming movement into Capricorn will provide an entire year of bonus luck for enacting whatever plans you may have, either nefarious or boring. Pluto, on the other hand, will insert a dark and unpredictable element to things for years to come. Regardless, you're moving closer to a situation you innately understand how to work within.

Aquarius: Sticky

As the year winds its way into the holidays you find your finances and professional situation tied into a difficult web of problematic emotional and energetic exchanges. The necessary insight into how to handle these worrisome connections is emerging this week, and should present you with the proper perspective to handle your mutating affairs effectively.

Pisces: Sans Puke

Underneath all this holiday revelry there is a darker undercurrent of problematic emotional exchanges and energetic interactions that you've been subject to, Pisces. The necessary insight to deal with these irritations is on the way this week. In the meantime, you'll have to content yourself to appreciate the aspects of Sagittarian revelry you can handle without vomiting.

Vol. 116: Well Lit Tunnel

This week the Moon wanes to a close of the lunar month, finding the Sun on Sunday's New Moon in Sagittarius. The New Moon plays into the underlying dynamic permeating the northern hemisphere's holiday season, which is the tension between a sense of opportunity created by Jupiter in Sagittarius plagued by a set of nagging difficulties and conflicts stimulated by a retrograde Mars in Cancer. The New Moon weighs in on the side of opportunity, and is reinforced by the recent movement of Mercury into Sagittarius. Venus, on the other hand, leaves behind her roles as mediator this Wednesday and begins to feed emotional energy into the underlying conflicts leeching the good cheer from the season. The larger pattern of the planets this week suggests a use of widened perspective to counter-act the conflicts crawling out from the more dimly lit crannies of the current tunnel

Mercury In Sagittarius: Bull Horn of "Truth" +3

Mercury moved in Sagittarius over the weekend, and heralded the emergence of the mind from the tunnel of anxieties, annoyances, and suspicions that Scorpio has been for the last few months. Communications become more positive and open due to Mercury's entrance into Sagittarius. In Sagittarius, Mercury also makes for much more direct and honest communications, with a tendency to view things as they could and should be. This is in contradiction to Mercury in Scorpio, which instead tries to anticipate the negative, and can be a little paranoid.

Venus In Scorpio: Pressure Point Massage

Which brings us to Venus, who leaves the high-minded confines of Libra this Wednesday and enters the Scorpionic tunnel from which Mercury has just emerged. Scorpio's intense domain is difficult in general, but because of the current Mars retrograde, has become an emotional mine-field. As Venus enters this territory, our relationships and moods enter this problematic mental landscape. Venus in Scorpio brings us to our emotional hang-ups- old grudges and unresolved knots in the fabric of our relationships. It highlights the inequalities in our energy exchange with people in our lives, and can create an obsession with power dynamics that blows issues out of proportion. Even with these difficulties considered, Venus in Scorpio is honest, and can open a dark doorway to the transformation of stagnant relationships.

Horoscopes: December 3^rd-9^th

Note on Horoscopes: 12 Fold horoscopes are a way to assess the general condition of the splayed rays of the zodiac. Although not without value, they are a blunt tool, and can only describe the archetypal activity in each power-zone. In order to sharpen the accuracy of the horoscopes, read your Sun Sign if you were born in the day-time, and read your Moon Sign if you were born at night. Reading the Sign in which the Ascendant is placed is also advised.

Aries: Toll

Mercury's movement into Sagittarius heralds visions of positive possibilities this week. If you haven't seen the pot of gold at the end of the pain-bow bridge you've been struggling to traverse, you'll see it see it soon. A fortress of knowledge awaits you at the end of these transformations. While Mercury's movement into Sagittarius affords you clear sight of what remains at the far side of the bridge, Venus' mid-week movement into Scorpio will show you what part of your emotional baggage you've got to leave behind in order to get there.

Taurus: Translucent Tangle

Mercury's movement into Sagittarius will shine a clear light beyond the veil of your hopes and fears, but as Venus enters Scorpio, she leads your feelings straight into that veil, getting tangled in the curtain. Venus' mid-week movement into Scorpio will signal the beginning of a set of confrontations with the objects of desire which are the subject of your confusion. Use your mind to help your heart see the truth behind your current set of attachments.

Gemini: Redirection

As if you were redesigning the microchips in your processor, you're re-routing the flow of information and energy through you daily life. Mercury's movement into Sagittarius marks a turn for the honest in your relationships. You'll be able to be more open about whats been on your mind without illiciting such a bitchy response from people. Venus' movement Scorpio may activate sour feelings in the workplace, and will also find you feeling whatever unhealthy habits you've been having.

Cancer: Taste Bad, More Filling

Cancer, it may seem like the powers that be have you on a liquid diet of foul smelling and gross tasting concoctions. You've slurped down a number of experiences you wouldn't normally have deigned to drink. The bad news is that your liquid diet is by no means over. The good news is that the foul concoctions you've been force-fed are a potent witches' brew of radioactive ooze, and that by the time you're done you'll be manifesting a variety of mutant powers.

Leo: Attitude Adjustment

Mercury's movement into Sagittarius marks a change in your perspective for the positive. The shift isn't only internal, as you'll likely notice people communicating with you in a more pleasing manner, as well. Although Mercury's movement heralds a more positive tone to communications, Venus' movement into Scorpio will draw your attention to financial gripes, especially those relating to property and vehicles. The gripes are part of a larger process taking place throughout the season where the foundations of the way that you go after what you want are undergoing significant changes. It's part of a process so take it in perspective.

Virgo: What You Don't Know Can Hurt You

Mercury's movement into Sagittarius marks a significantly positive turn in your attitude. Your perspective on your own know-how, which has been under fire recently, takes a turn for the better, with the focus shifting from what you don't know to the glory of what you.do. On the other hand, Venus' movement into Scorpio means that you'll be dealing with sour feelings about friendships and sibling relationships. These are currently undergoing renovations, so don't call it quits on anything just because it doesn't look livable right now. Instead, make the space you need to work through your feelings.

Libra: Costume Change

Venus' movement out of your Sign in the middle of the week marks the end of your duty as reconciler. As Venus slips into Scorpio, you'll be exploring the limits to truces you've bartered as people speak more freely and openly. Don't feel like you've failed- your role was a temporary one- to hold things together until communications improved. Venus' movement into Scorpio also means that you may be the one needing support and perspective for the next couple weeks.

Scorpio: Different Angle, Different Topic

Mercury's movement out of your Sign signifies the dispersal of what may have been an unnecessary excess of mental energy. As Mercury moves into to Sagittarius, your intellect moves on to shine on more mundane matters, and from a brighter angle. As your mind leaves the cluster of topics you've been focusing on, your feelings on the same matters become more distinct. Decisions you've made that pertain to your changing financial situation will also be set in motion with Venus' entrance into Scorpio this week.

Sagittarius: Shiny Time

Sweet Sagittarius, its your time, and that means its time to shine. Or at least talk about shining. With Mercury's movement into Sagittarius, your ability to create self-propaganda is looking better than ever. Don't let this offer slip through your fingers! Act now and receive universal support for your awesomely skewed personal version of reality! Mercury may have your back, but Venus will be presenting temptations aplenty to lead you off the straight and narrow path of your own ascension to unnecessary awesomeness. Don't let your competitive streak distract you from what's really important: You.

Capricorn: Inner Ducks

Your social circle is mid-transition, and as Venus moves into Scorpio, you'll be feeling the difficulty of that over the next weeks. Mars Retrograde in Cancer is making it more troublesome for people to penetrate social circles than usual. So no, its not just you. Its the situation. Don't go out of your way to exert effort in areas where it isn't to your advantage. You will profit more from looking inward and getting your inner ducks and demons in a row for winter.

Aquarius: A Friend In Need

Mercury's movement into Sagittarius bolsters what positive thoughts you've got on your side right now, and may manifest as assistance from friends and acquaintances. Which you'll need, as you may find yourself in a painful position for the next month, as you feel your way through your ongoing professional transformation.

Pisces: Birth Canal

With Mercury's movement into Sagittarius, you may find your thoughts gravitating around professional and career issues. There's likely something big there, but with Saturn's presence in Virgo, it may be caught somewhere halfway down the birth canal. The pain of being caught in mid-transformation is formidable, and it is exactly that set of feelings that Venus in Scorpio will be stimulating on and off for the next month. Remember to breath and keep pushing.
