2004 Capricorn Ingress

The Sun's Entry into Capricorn

The Sun's movement into Capricorn is its position of maximum southern declination: the Winter equinox. From this point on it's moving northwards as it moves around the zodiac. This is deepest winter time for those in the northern hemisphere and they can take some comfort from knowing that the days will be getting lighter from this point. Although I'm sure they wont say this with as much relish as they do when telling everyone that it's getting darker when we pass the Summer equinox.

2004 Capricorn Ingress - Set for London

Starting with the Ascendant, you can see we have Aries on the cusp of the first with Mars, in Scorpio, in the seventh house. What would usually be a very unfortunate placing is actually quite powerful as Mars is in his sign of rulership. He is towards the end of the sign and doesn't make any further aspects before he changes signs - perhaps this is to do with an existing situation which has been going on for sometime with no end in sight. Perhaps the only way to effect change is to change the players? It doesn't take too big a leap of the imagination to see the Mars could be to do with the ongoing military situation - we are in an alliance which is good seventh house territory - and that we are coming up for an election.

Mars will change signs on 26th December which will also see him moving to square Uranus, another significator for sudden change. The Sun is also moving to sextile Uranus and the Moon is just past the exact sextile to Uranus and in the first house. The Sun and Moon are in trine, albeit just past exactitude. These harmonious aspects would indicate that what ever sudden changes are about to happen, they have the backing of the people - the Moon - and could be driven by the people as the Moon is very strong and well placed.

What ever happens, it seems that it may be very welcome.
