This is a time of new beginnings - sun and moon are together in the same sign which happens to be Capricorn.Also, today was illuminated further by a partial solar eclipse: the moon passing in front of the sun!The word ‘eclipse’ comes from the Greek word ékleipsis, or ekleíp(ein), which means to leave out, forsake, fail to appear.I tried to view it between 8am and 9.30am but most of the sky was obscured by cloud. Today's eclipse was visible across much of the Middle East, Europe, North Africa and central Asia.There will be four solar eclipses in 2011 and two lunar ones.And meteor showers tonight.
Last night I went outside to look up at a beautiful clear night's sky prompted by BBC 2's excellent 'Stargazing Live'with Professor Brian Cox which will be on over the next 2 nights at 8pm. He urged you to turn off the TV after the programme and go outdoors to view the stars and planets above you. It was a refreshing reminder that there is so much to see at night if we can be bothered to get up from the sofa and discover it. Jupiter was visible in the sky due south.I also found this beautiful simulation on U Tube.
New Moon is a good time for meditating on new projects you would like to begin...whilst the moon is in Capricorn look at your foundations and how comfortable you are with your own laws, rules and regulations.Saturn ruled Capricorn focusses on career, public life, achievement, reputation and personal accountability. This is moon for achievement and sure footed starts.
Another major event happening today is Jupiter's conjunction to Uranus in the sign of Pisces - the last of three conjunctions (for about 12 years) that began June of last year. The need for progressive change is strong under this influence. We might take risks for the sake of freedom. We can open ourselves up to new ways of thinking, approaches, and attitudes now. Enthusiasm runs high, the desire for freedom from restrictions is strong, and thirst for adventure is with us.
Blessed Be xx
