Winter solstice 2009, set for Kingston, New York. Chart in Io Sprite.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here is the winter solstice chart for later today — the Sun ingresses Capricorn at 12:46:48 pm EST. The chart is set for Kingston, New York, which is where the astrologer is sitting at the moment. Since there is no ‘world capital’ that’s an not-so-arbitrary location that works. Notably, this is the first Capricorn solstice with Pluto in Capricorn.<\/p>\n

Today the days begin to get longer as the Sun moves northward in declination along the horizon. While we won’t begin to notice the days getting longer for a few weeks, there is a subtle shift in energy as the starry dynamo of the night begins to spin in the other direction, like a huge amusement park ride.<\/p>\n

In our chart, Mars is retrograde in Leo (as of yesterday), Jupiter is in a conjunction to Neptune, exact to three arc minutes<\/em>. Jupiter is direct and headed for Pisces, and will sail straight across Pisces to make a conjunction to Uranus in June (which will by then be in Aries). Then both Jupiter and Uranus will retrograde back into Pisces, for their first meeting in Pisces since 1334 (which takes place in September).<\/p>\n

Venus in the solstice chart is conjunct the Galactic Core in Sagittarius. And the Moon is in late Aquarius, opposite a rarely-used point called Transpluto (listed in the Serennu<\/a><\/strong> ephemeris as Isis-Transpluto). Mercury is close to stationing retrograde (in five days, on Dec. 26).<\/p>\n

The Sun is square Juno on the Aries Point (about to square Pluto, and being squared by the Sun), yet another sign suggesting that conventional relationship models are coming into focus as needing revision and update to meet our actual needs. Because Juno is on the Aries Point, this is showing up as not just the issue of any one person but a society-wide situation (I consider North American, British and European societies to be one culture, having lived in all three and noting the key similarities).<\/p>\n

The emphasis on change shows up mostly as Juno square Pluto. We need to re-think why we have the relationship models that we do, and determine whether what we are pushing everyone else into is actually appropriate or even works as the cultural cornerstone that we make it into. We need to know that part of why our reach limits is not about us personally — it’s about the method of relationship we are taught, with no alternatives.<\/p>\n

It’s time to create some options for ourselves.
