| Your astrological year begins December 21, a date known as the solstice, winter in the northern hemisphere and summer for the southern. It certainly starts with a bang for you, since as the Sun enters your constellation and defines your time of year, it joins a bunch of its cosmic compatriots in the form of Mercury, Jupiter and Pluto, the latter now beginning a visit lasting one way or another for the next sixteen years… Clearly then, this is no ordinary new year. It is the dawning of a new phase that will last for a lengthy period. If you’re young it’ll seem like part of growing up, because trends of such extreme duration cannot be felt with full intensity over such a prolonged timescale, and tend to be perceived more as simply how things are over time. If you are older, Pluto’s impact will be more of a natural progression, along the path of understanding and self-acceptance that some would say this life is all about, based on what you’ve learned from all that has gone before. |

| Many believe the way your year begins has a lot to do with how it continues, which is why in so many cultures around the world it’s considered important to welcome the commencement of each new one. Astrologers agree, so 2008/2009 promises to be an even bigger cavalcade for Capricorns than it would have been otherwise, when already in any case, it was going to be huge. With the Moon hitting your sign on December 26, followed by Mars on December 27 and your annual new moon happening later the same day, you’ll find a total of six of the astrological planets highlighting your constellation with an emphasis that continues, disregarding Pluto’s longer stay, right through until February 2009. This puts you very much at the centre of things and to be honest, you’re not used to the attention. Plus this comes on the back of Jupiter’s passage through your sign as well, which started in December 2007 and doesn’t end until January 5, 2009. Put together it means at the moment and to a large degree throughout your year ahead, you’re able to do whatever you want and to see positive results as a consequence. Knowing you there’ll inevitably be a practical slant, with working Capricorns especially favoured and making significant strides that are certain to impress everybody, particularly from late October 2009 until the end of your year and even beyond that too. If you can ignore the paralysis sweeping global markets as this influence begins and continue to move forwards in your usual cautious, prudent, but inherently ambitious way then the opportunity exists for you to improve your financial situation considerably, with an ease that won’t be apparent again for a long while. Sure you’ll need to work at it and cultivate nerves of steel, but adversity always brought out the best in you and whether you’re employed, in business, or have an important set of other tasks laid out for yourself, this is your year to give it your best shot because you can attain so much now. |

| Of course there are a few warnings. Firstly, with this emphasis on your own objectives and with everything heading your way to such a degree, it would be easy to lose sight of less immediately tangible human values, or to feel unsympathetic towards those who aren’t blessed with such a strong work ethic or so many opportunities at their disposal. Although they seem like rare events there are two solar eclipses each year on average somewhere in the world, highlighting different signs of the zodiac in turn as they follow their own patterns and cycles over many hundreds of years. From July 2009 a series starts that picks out your constellation and Cancer your zodiacal polarity, continuing through until 2011. This represents an emotional fork in the road for you, that will cause you to question and think over several factors on an intimate and personal level, concerning how you deal with life and other people and ultimately view things in the way you do. It is certain that the material world, money and your career ambitions for example are important, but whether they are worth the emphasis that you have placed on them, to the exclusion of more private and individual considerations perhaps, could be a subject that you need to give some thought. How much of this is grounded in reality or was actually ingrained when you were growing up for instance, through the circumstances in which you found yourself and the ideals and motivations of those around you? Now Pluto enters your sign you have the power to achieve almost anything, but you’ll also need to look very closely and ensure you’re really aiming in the right direction in the first place. This planet is going to be a part of your life for a long while and works very slowly, so it’s your fundamental tenets, conceptions and beliefs that through its thorough and unstoppable progress, Pluto will increasingly reassess, reassemble and bring towards the light… |
