Cancer/Capricorn Full Cold Moon!
Tuesday Dec 29 2020 at 7:28 PM Pacific, 8 Cancer/Capricorn 53.
SIX months Eight Degree activation. Jupiter/Saturn Aquarius, 2021 Aspects already here!
Capricorn can do ultimate isolation survival, high altitude to sparse deserts, but also the intricacy of big business in the largest cities of the world. Full Moon from Nob Hill across the Bay Bridge, San Francisco by Mongolian photographer Ronaldo Farelli.
This is the last lunar event of 2020! It rides the fulcrum between the Winter Solstice Saturn/Jupiter Aquarian sign change/Great Conjunction and the calendar New Year. It is a go between, seeing the results of the recent events, as a Full Moon is arms wide open across the Cancer/Capricorn axis, gathering all it can to gift in fullness to 2021! Cancer is loving and nurturing, memory; Capricorn is the Guardian, provides shelter, builds. The Full Moon assures the work will be carried on.
This is the first lunar event of Saturn and Jupiter now in Aquarius and the Great Conjunction having been made! The Conjunction was important for two major reasons. 1) It was in Aquarius, the first time since 1405, over 600 years ago! 2) The conjunction was super potent at only 6 arcminutes apart, the closest since 1623, nearly 400 years ago, and the closest observable since 1226, almost 800 years ago! It looked like a double star – slightly elongated, called the Christmas Star! Anything that close between big outer planets, to me qualifies as an eclipse! The channel is powerfully focused, both of their planetary energy and the sign Aquarius! This new time is charged, electric!
2020 Oct 31, Nov, Dec and 2021 [Jan very close], Feb, and March FULL Moons are all at 8 degrees, the number symbol of Infinity! The Moon signs are Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo and Libra. Those of you with factors in your charts at or within 2 to 3 degrees of 8, especially in those signs, will be the messengers. You have been preparing, now it is time to deliver! You have this and 2 more months available.
Dec 31, the last day of 2020, Mars, 26 Aries makes his last trine to the Galactic Center 27 Sagittarius and is trine the GC in this Full Moon Chart! It’s not just the Great Conjunction in Aquarius, but Mars is poised to take action, plant the seeds, get things started! Aquarius is the sign of the heavens, stars, and you can’t get much more potent than the Galactic Center! AQ is midsign between the Sagittarius GC and Mars in Aries, the Initiator, leader, first responder! Mars squared Pluto the 23rd, not an easy combination. He remembers the possible pain, difficulties, may have lost a battle. He sees how precious certain things are, that they are worth fighting for even if you lose. He’s more aware of life and death now, consequences. So he calculates just a little more cautiously now and chooses his battles more carefully, places the seeds more safely.
The Full Moon axis also has just made a Moon sextile and Sun trine with Uranus, the Aquarian Planet in Taurus. Sextiles represent opportunities. Mother Moon is in her own sign Cancer. Taurus, Moon and Cancer all lend a feminine touch, a nurturing quality to guide us through some of these changes that can seem abrupt at times. Uranus is a wild card, but in Taurus is more stabilized, somewhat patient. Once he gets rolling though, give him a clear path, remind/update him what our priority is so course corrections can be made appropriately. Cancer is excellent with business, so her practical advice may have already primed him of current needs.
Sun in Capricorn is a super worker when motivated, and Uranus in Taurus has planetary goals that could mean work in a professional capacity that just keeps getting better and more expansive. It might require continual upgrading, but one good thing begets another. Evolution is forever! Uranus is quickly savvy to link up with such a dedicated and capable person. Mercury is in Capricorn too, getting the specs, drawing the plans, getting materials. Pluto is just down the line in Capricorn and he’s waiting for the building to get to the point where investments can be made! Stay with it.
Mercury is assisted by his immanent semisextile with Venus in Sagittarius. There are some things to learn that will be worth the money, beautify their work – make it desirable. There are gracious connections and alliances made with people at universities, possibly churches, travel oriented organizations, involved with justice. Mercury sextiles Neptune. It’s more than money or reputation. Neptune is another form of art, is music, the Soul, compassion for those in need, humans or otherwise, the rights of all beings. Mercury can see that is part of things. There is a giving back, paying it forward component as well. Plus, LOL, Neptune is psychic and saves you a lot of time.
Venus is at Moon’s South Node in Sagittarius, square that Neptune! The South Node either blesses us with super skills from our past, or we are used to those and try to use them just because they used to be that good! But now, they could get in our way at times. One of the typical Sag ways of dealing with things when the going gets tough is to leave! Or they can try to dazzle us with their great array of knowledge or stories that distract. Venus in Sag loves both, and they might just be the rescue skill this time. Get people laughing, sharing, becoming comrades! You might decide to go to school, become an apprentice, to add a new chapter to your life.
The square with Neptune can be a disaster, sugar and drugs, self indulgence, sure you can get away with it, again! Maybe so. Maybe it will save your life if you run away this time! Maybe there are some old weaknesses in your closet and you can look them right in the eye this time and leave them behind. These new planets in Aquarius are going to give us more detachment, wanting freedom, and seeking friends going our direction. That old stuff is not going to hold our attention as it did. We are going to be less bored, and into new things to do that we will like more than the fears of our own weaknesses. We will be surprised and relieved with what we find ourselves doing. Yes!
The Full Moon spans Cancer to Capricorn. This is the traditional Mother/Father sign axis. Mother Moon is in her own sign, aware of cycles, changes in the valence, the Feminine, cultural nuances, our feelings. Moon remembers the past, collects antiques. Father Sun is in patriarchal Capricorn, scanning historical records, sometimes following in the family footsteps, particularly his Father. Inheritances often shape his destiny. Capricorns are builders. As Fathers they instinctively make shelter for their family. They are more realists having to get along with others out in the world. Working with earth, they come to know there are real laws, and human law too that by necessity regulates our safety.
The Sun and Moon recent squares with Chiron in Aries brought us to realize how we need to get moving. We were left with questions about what to do, how to do it, but knowing that we mustn’t neglect our intention. Chiron has to do with health matters, learning, partnering and business. They are all interdependent. There are some terrific ideas for new businesses because of the virus. Business will be conducted in money saving new ways. Our relationship with land and water will be mitigated, remediated to better conditions than we had before. Renovation, going back to the status quo, is no longer enough. Rights of all kinds are being revised. Time to make new bigger plans!
The 2021 aspects are already showing! Jupiter and Saturn will be squaring Uranus and sextiling Chiron. Their squares with Uranus will be sorting out friends, groups, networking, humanitarian ventures or not. Jupiter will tend to educate and instigate change while Saturn will quash it if it gets out of control. His regulation of it may be perfect as a program is set to unfold with checkpoints and at times will be faster, other times held at bay temporarily or even scrapped if it fails. We are in new times. There will be trial and error.
Sextiling Chiron, more dedicated relationships will be started. Healing will be part of the aim. Jupiter will push for more education/teaching. Saturn will want cures for him and his family, employees. Relationships will take on a deeper tone. Travelers will want more meaning; professionals will want more dedication. Jupiter sextiles Chiron Jan 11, the day before the Jan 12/13 NEW MOON! See Jupiter in Aquarius Sextile Chiron in Aries! Jupiter squares Uranus Jan 17 only a few days later!
Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus are in neighboring signs! They have been semisextile 13 years, their last aspects in 2021! Chiron is sizzling in fiery Aries, a good business person as well as a healer/teacher, terrific consultant! In this combination a promotional organization would suit his Spirit! Supporting new students, think tanks, getting groups started! Avant-garde ideas, exotic explorations on land or in the lab, unique sports, research for new cures, looking for leaders! All would be exciting ventures! They have been closely together in the background…in a small but potent aspect.
Sweeping change is often started with chaos and discomfort, takes extra effort to initiate. This is our chance to step up for things that will introduce new possibilities. Uranus in Taurus is working for stable global union. Taurus is Earth herself, her lands, indigenous peoples that inhabit them, the Standing Tree People, Stone People, the Four Leggeds, all. Uranus is working for planetary freedom for all beings. Networking is key and Uranus rules electronics, computers, cells, social media as well as planes. All are important means to connect valuably with each other. Friendships open gateways. Uranus is becoming more Shamanic. Chiron is acquiring a more humanistic range of healing and teaching.

Cancer/Capricorn Full Cold Moon Astrology Chart!
Capricorn’s Magical New Moon!
Monday Jan 12 at 9 PM Pacific, Tuesday 13 AM Eastern, 23 Capricorn 13.
SIX months of New Moons at 23 degrees activate Three Fixed Stars: Arcturus and Spica, Algol! Happy New Year New Moon!
May you walk into this New Year, and new times, in all your glory! It’s a new time. Snow Princess and Polar Bear by famed fantasy illustrator and author Ruth Sanderson.
Jan 12/13 is 2021’s first Lunar event, and the first New Moon with Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius! It is also the day after the Jan 11 Jupiter in Aquarius sextile Chiron in Aries, the first aspect of 2021! You can see in the chart just how very close we are to it’s companion aspect Jupiter square Uranus.
Jupiter in Aquarius sextile Chiron in Aries is one frisky aspect! Jupiter will tend to educate and instigate! New plans, crazy plans, extraordinary plans are coming alive as we breathe! Chiron in Aries is here to give instant healing as we go. Jupiter, Aquarius and Aries can all be quite independent! Our new life can be on our own, unfettered by others’ needs, clean spirited. Jupiter is usually instantly friendly and amazingly converts difficulty to advantage! Aquarius gathers the tribe and the whole is greater than the sum of the parts! Collective collaborative action often has a potent tipping point factor. Aries is up ahead paving the way, Chiron removing obstacles that block our confidence. New leaders will emerge in this time of opening! See Jupiter in Aquarius Sextile Chiron in Aries!
This aspect is quickly followed by Jupiter in Aquarius square Uranus (the AQ planet) in Taurus Jan 17! Uranus has already been uprooting old ideas that were thought to be basic. Environmental matters have been top concerns. Jupiter will amplify electronics of all kinds. Friendships that no longer serve will be left behind; breakthroughs to new more potent connections, networks, groups will happen. Humanity and human rights, the connectedness of all beings, will be attended to. Some people won’t be going anywhere, some will disembark the planet, others will see the Light and new arrangements will be made, supported powerfully by unity of purpose.
It will be the spiritual honor of this New Moon to turn the tide to awareness of the blessed possibilities coming! FOUR planet stellium, Venus, Sun/Moon, and Pluto, are in Capricorn anchoring systems that will be handling the changes in safe and efficient ways. They will remind us to put our Guardians in place, to reinforce any weak structures that will carry this load. Stabilize and be substantial. Capricorn is long term aware. As a wise one, he let’s go of what no longer serves, makes room for excellence and progress, is often the leader of his field through working hard in a timely manner.
Venus stands alone in Capricorn, but has the significant position of being the base planet pushing the whole chart along! This is a tightly focused Bundle chart, all the planets within 121 degrees, a third of the zodiac! Intense! She trines by 1 degree, Uranus, the leading planet that Jupiter is squaring. Uranus, the Networker, will add his magnetic and electric genius, dispersing their gifts as far and wide as possible. He makes us feel alive, reminds us we can do this together, in unity! She is helping Uranus with Grace and style. She may be a bit conservative, but that helps when transitions are afoot. When a lot of change happens at once, sufficient investigation may not be done, mistakes that slow us down in the long run may happen that could have been avoided. Mars in Taurus is with Uranus and he can push for a little more speed, keep us going. Some things just have to happen right now so they will happen at all! Even if mistakes are made, at least we are rolling!!!
The New Moon is next in Capricorn! Moon has the feels. She is aware of any classic Capricorn doubts – not good enough, costs too much, takes too much time, depressed, afraid, what will others think, and on and on. Moon knows about those things and knows they will pass, changes will happen, yes, we will make mistakes – some too funny for words, who cares what some of those fools think, we’ll prove ourselves or start again or won’t. Life is. Just do it. Sun is delighted for her support even if he doesn’t always say so. If she is stuck in the kitchen, life, needs a break from the kids, he gathers her up for a little jaunt that brings the light back into her eyes! He treasures how smart she is, her life saving advice and excellent business sense. She brings him art and beauty, a wonderful home to be safe in. He in turn, works hard to bring her the best he can. Thanks be to both.
They are ONE degree of Pluto! Pluto has been in Capricorn for some years now. He has a certain accrued wisdom. There have been uproars, death and healing, business extremes, failures and remarkable recoveries and successes! Pluto has to do with monies, intimate relationships, cleansing and detoxing, the Kundalini life force. Moon and Sun will give strong support, delve into hidden faults and nurture the demons away. Moon will bring winter foods and a hug; Sun will light us internally while spiritual ‘surgery’ is processed. Relax and release. Refrain and reframe. Remediate and resume.
Saturn and Jupiter are at their beginning degrees in Aquarius getting used to their new shoes that now have wings on them! Jupiter is at home in this new wildcard sign. Saturn is the planet of Capricorn so he doesn’t feel so all alone with those four back in Cap smoothing the big sign transition. Plus, he previewed AQ from Mar 21 to July 1! He’s sort of getting his second wind now, not finding the Aquarian changes so abrupt as he did now that he expects and somewhat understands them. Saturn is also aspecting Chiron and Uranus.
Feb 9 Saturn sextiles Chiron – good for business beginnings, healing from pandemic miseries and costs. Saturn will want cures for him and his family, employees. More dedicated relationships will be started. Relationships will take on a deeper tone.
Feb 17 Saturn squares Uranus – revamps his connections and associates as well as friendships. Everyone is revising their life settings these days, so this is excellent for us all to clear the way for our new purposes. We need to lighten up and be more free to make these changes. In these new times, there will be old fashioned trial and error in the beginning. Mars in Taurus, delighted to be with fellow rebel Uranus, squares Saturn exactly Jan 20! Saturn has a lot on his plate and Mars is steadfastly pushing him to keep the future Uranian options in mind and take seed action in their behalf. Mars can get a bit grouchy when he thinks Saturn is deliberately slowing things down, but that might be a wise choice. Slow down and see before leaping? Yet Mars is in the slowest of all the signs and more patient than he ever is. Environmental matters have been delayed, so Mars is also right to get that back on track soonest. Taurus rules Mother Earth.
Neptune in his own sign Pisces stands alone among the planets at 18 degrees, but squares the Moon’s North Node in Gemini! Neptune is observer this time. He takes in, synthesizes, modifies and shares with ones whose charts connect. He cues them with dreams and images, insights, of things to come and what they can do with their specific talents. The North node is a place we long to do better. Gemini is one of Mercury’s signs. It practices thinking, communications, the breath, touch/laying on of hands, another form of communications. In this chart we look to Mercury in it’s other sign, Aquarius.
Mercury in Aquarius has been tagging planets right and left! He has squared Mars, conjuncted Saturn, sextiled Chiron, semisextiled Venus, and squared Uranus! Now he is taking the messages wherever he can, preferably to groups – saves time! Mars urges us to get going and take leadership, start fresh and stay with it. With Saturn, Mercury was impressed how serious things can be, to be dedicated, keep your commitments on track and on time. Chiron shared healing news, how to speak more effectively, that we must spread the word. Mercury and Uranus both have to do with communications. Mercury gathers data, Uranus disburses it to gather like minded people together in unity to succeed where one alone couldn’t. Uranus can weave all the intelligence together and electrify us with the amazing inventions and solutions to things we didn’t even know were problems! Additionally, Mercury is of Virgo, the sign opposite Pisces. What Pisces dreams, Mercury can put to words and the Miracle is inaugurated!
23 Degrees, Fixed Stars ~ Spica and Arcturus, Algol
2020 Oct, Nov, Dec and 2021 Jan, Feb, Mar NEW Moons are all at 23 degrees, a SIX months sequence! April 2021 is at 22 degrees. The signs are Libra, Scorpio, Sag, Cap AQ and Pisces. Then Aries at 22 in April. All of these will aspect Fixed Stars Arcturus and Spica at 23 Libra! Also, this is important because all these charts connect with the Galactic Center! Since the charts are sequential by sign, refresh and update at each one.
All of these New Moons will aspect TWO lucky fixed stars! This New Moon is square (challenges) Arcturus, now at 24 Libra 30, and Spica at 24 Libra 06! These two stars must be read together. Spica is Virgo maiden girly and prim compared with Arcturus in the constellation Boötes, the herdsman. She is in the palace; he is not, yet both are workers! They do not sit together in the sky. Spica is -11 below the Ecliptic (the Sun’s path) while Arcturus is +19 high above the Ecliptic! With the New Moon at a challenge point, we will have to work things out to get the blessings…
Spica is considered especially lucky and blessed. She lives in a difficult place that is called the Via Combusta, a ‘dry’ path from 15 degrees Libra to 15 degrees Scorpio, but Spica is the oasis. She is one of the 15 Behenian Fixed Stars, a selection of fifteen stars considered especially useful for magical applications in the medieval astrology of Europe and the Arab world. Spica is noted for spiritual and religious qualities, honors and fame, artistic skill, drawing ability, musical talent and a good sense for literature and the sciences. There can be refinement, a noble bearing, sublimation of sexual tensions. See more at Astrology King
Arcturus, another Behenian Star, moves things along and keeps order! He’s really a go-ahead enterprising spirit. Humble he is not! He has great pride, is grandly liberal, commanding, has cosmopolitan views. Arcturus gives riches, honors, high renown, self-determination and prosperity by navigation and voyages. You can see how Spica and Arcturus can complement each other and learn both finesse and boldness from each other!
If these stars are not well connected with your planets or others in the sky with them, yes, there can be troubles. In this case, Pluto, now at 24°, currently squares them along with the New Moon! Better watch your rearview mirror. In Capricorn there can be dishonor, discovery of past transgressions. Pluto can hold extraordinary self discipline and can go to certain extremes in some matters at the same time. There may be financial ripples… You may have paid a significant debt or incurred one. Some relationships may be on the block needing a decision. Your career may be at a critical point. What about retirement? Health is needing attention. If they are lucky and dodge the bullets, they can break old rigid patterns and succeed against the odds. The situation may call for a lot of discretion, playing your cards close to the chest. Use Spica’s finesse and Arcturus’s bluff!
Fixed Star Algol 26 Taurus 27 in 2020
Pluto is of Scorpio, the sign opposite Algol’s sign Taurus, yet Pluto now in Capricorn gentles that opposition because Pluto is now in a sign that trines, favors Algol. Pluto rules death and rebirth while Algol is considered to bear misfortune, often death. They understand each other. Neither is to be messed with. Capricorn is noted for facing reality squarely.
Algol is the baddest Star according to some! It is a rare triple star and eclipsing binary, which means it blinks, and changes brightness, even ‘disappears!’ It is the Medusa’s Head, carried in the left hand of the Hero, Perseus. On the dark side, ‘It causes misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence, and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or others. It is the most evil star in the heavens.’ Some say it’s not the ‘bad’ within us but pushing through blockages to the beauty beyond is what really matters. We can face our demons with sincere intent and life changes for the better! See more!
Many give Algol a wide berth, plan wisely astrologically. Astrologers often allow 5 degrees for the effective range with Algol while most stars get only 1 degree range. If in neighboring signs, only 3 or less degrees might be used. If you have chart factors in that 5 degree range, one way or another you are connected with Algol. If you have questions, do see your astrologer.
Pluto is now at 24° Cap 35′ and moves only 3° a year. Since Pluto is an outer planet, some might only allow a 3° range for it to be in connection with Algol. Pluto retrogrades back and forth through the degrees as it travels Capricorn. Anytime it is between 23 Cap 27 to 29 Cap 27, it will trine Algol. That period started Feb 2020 and will go through Jan 2024. Exact trines are formed 5 times: Mar 20 & June 5, 2021, and in 2022 Jan 17, 2022, Aug 29, Nov 16.
One hopes the trine, good aspect, has bent the relationship with Algol to a more satisfactory outcome. Earth signs are a bit ‘indelible.’ Their effects are more long lasting. Keep turning the tables on Algol’s bad rep. Stay calm in the face of violence, shift your connections so better can happen. Know your rights and choose safety unless/even if you are trying to save someone’s life. If you are the offender, get all the help you can to change. Many a fine leader has come from a dark place.
This in turn may have paved the way for our New Moon trine Algol. It is often found that ‘good’ aspects like trines may suffer with difficult factors like Algol. They may come to a crisis yet weather it. Capricorn is the third of the earth signs, has experience and solidarity, so is likely to come through – not entirely unscathed, but, against the odds, still kicking and better for the test. Could have a grin on their face, LOL!
Galactic Center at 27 Sagittarius 08!
Algol’s connection with the Galactic Center! Algol and the GC are in lockstep! Each being star factors, they each take 72 years to move a degree. Currently Algol is at 26 Taurus and the GC is 27 Sag. Whenever one is activated, they both are. Algol and the GC have an oblique position (inconjunct), aware, but out of the corner of your eye. That position is common in the charts of psychics. They see peripheral factors that influence the outcome. They sometimes lead you on a goose chase, but maybe to greener pastures. But you do get a greater perspective. Even if you go back home, you are different. You have perhaps made new friends and associates that can carry that sector for you. Excellent adjustments are in the offing. Destination Algol would not usually be a conscious choice, but sometimes it is part of our Path and it just happens. Square your shoulders and do it, eyes wide open. Fascinating encounter.
Oh, yes, Algol strikes fear in a lot of hearts, but so does the GC when people find out it is one gigantic black hole!!! You could vanish in an instant! You astral travelers might should be careful? I like to think of Algol as the GC’s Guardian. Algol is considered to be a super powerful feminine force. It would take such an entity to protect the mighty GC!Algol is ready to stomp her feet and ‘invite’ you to travel, or takes you another place once the GC’s info has been bestowed, a place that needs the information the most.
Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus are in neighboring signs! They have been semisextile 13 years, their last aspects in 2021! Chiron is sizzling in fiery Aries, a good business person as well as a healer/teacher, terrific consultant! In this combination a promotional organization would suit his Spirit! Supporting new students, think tanks, getting groups started! Avant-garde ideas, exotic explorations on land or in the lab, unique sports, research for new cures, looking for leaders! All would be exciting ventures! They have been closely together in the background…in a small but potent aspect.
Sweeping change is often started with chaos and discomfort, takes extra effort to initiate. This is our chance to step up for things that will introduce new possibilities. Uranus in Taurus is working for stable global union. Taurus is Earth herself, her lands, indigenous peoples that inhabit them, the Standing Tree People, Stone People, the Four Leggeds, all. Uranus is working for planetary freedom for all beings. Networking is key and Uranus rules electronics, computers, cells, social media as well as planes. All are important means to connect valuably with each other. Friendships open gateways. Uranus is becoming more Shamanic. Chiron is acquiring a more humanistic range of healing and teaching.
