Eclipses! The new year kicks off with the first set of eclipses for 2019 right away, and we have a solar eclipse on January 5th at 8:42PM ET in Capricorn. This is the first of 3 eclipses in Capricorn next year (big for Capricorns!), and we can focus long-term on our goals and ambitions, the directions our lives are going in, and what we want to achieve and succeed. This can play out individually, and we can see it on a global scale. Capricorn rules governments, institutions, and politics, so we may see important events, decisions, actions with governments in the world, politically (oh yeah we've got a new Congress coming here in the U.S.), and with large institutions or corporations. There may be new roles, new responsibilities, and new visions. With Capricorn ruling goals, it's the perfect eclipse to start a brand new year, helping us to get focused, get a little disciplined, put together realistic plans, and figure out how we want the year to go. It may not go exactly according to plan, but we can be practical enough to understand that - and make backup plans! This eclipse is conjunct (aligned with) Saturn in Capricorn, amplifying the Capricorn energy (since Saturn naturally rules Capricorn. It's also sextile (positive aspect, two signs away) Neptune in water sign Pisces, and we can trust our intuition, uncover what's hidden, use imaginations and creativity, and do more for others. The eclipse occurs at 15 degrees 25 minutes in Capricorn. The aspects to this eclipse are: Conjunction: 10 degrees 25 minutes - 20 degrees 25 minutes Capricorn Semisextile: 13 degrees 25 minutes - 17 degrees 25 minutes Sagittarius or Aquarius Sextile: 10 degrees 25 minutes - 20 degrees 25 minutes Scorpio or Pisces Square: 10 degrees 25 minutes - 20 degrees 25 minutes Aries or Libra Trine: 10 degrees 25 minutes - 20 degrees 25 minutes Taurus or Virgo Quincunx: 13 degrees 25 minutes - 17 degrees 25 minutes Gemini or Leo Opposition: 10 degrees 25 minutes - 20 degrees 25 minutes Cancer Then comes a lunar eclipse on January 21st at 12:12AM ET in Leo. This will be the last eclipse for a while in Leo, so there may be some finalizing in a way of things that have been shaping up, in development for the last couple of years. Final decisions being made, finishing touches being put on, last chapters being finished before we move on. With Leo, we can be more affectionate and want more attention and praise. We want to come together in love and play, and enjoy ourselves a little bit before we get too serious. This can be great creative energy, and we can feel quite inspired. We can get in tune with our hearts, and can feel more generous and bring joy. This eclipse is super early in Leo at 0 degrees, and doesn't make any aspects in-sign, but will be square (hard aspect, three signs away) Uranus in Aries as an out-of-sign aspect (as if it were in previous sign Cancer). So we may struggle a little with some changes, with sudden developments, with having the independence we want, and can be a little rebellious, restless, impulsive. We need to exercise some restraint and stay focused. The eclipse occurs at 0 degrees 51 minutes in Leo. Aspects for the eclipse are: Conjunction: 0 degrees 0 minutes - 5 degrees 51 minutes Leo Semisextile: 0 degrees 51 minutes - 2 degrees 51 minutes Cancer or Virgo Sextile: 0 degrees 0 minutes - 5 degrees 51 minutes Gemini or Libra Square: 0 degrees 0 minutes - 5 degrees 51 minutes Taurus or Scorpio Trine: 0 degrees 0 minutes - 5 degrees 51 minutes Aries or Sagittarius Quincunx: 0 degrees 51 minutes - 2 degrees 51 minutes Capricorn or Pisces Opposition: 0 degrees 0 minutes - 5 degrees 51 minutes Aquarius Since the eclipse is so early in Leo, it may also make out-of-sign aspects for you (they're just usually more subtle in impact on you). They are: Conjunction: 25 degrees 51 minutes - 29 degrees 59 minutes Cancer Semisextile: 28 degrees 51 minutes - 29 degrees 59 minutes Gemini or Leo Sextile: 25 degrees 51 minutes - 29 degrees 59 minutes Taurus or Virgo Square: 25 degrees 51 minutes - 29 degrees 59 minutes Aries or Libra Trine: 25 degrees 51 minutes - 29 degrees 59 minutes Scorpio or Pisces Quincunx: 28 degrees 51 minutes - 29 degrees 59 minutes - Sagittarius or Aquarius Opposition: 25 degrees 51 minutes - 29 degrees 59 minutes Capricorn Suggested Reading: The New & Full Moons page for general interpretations
