<\/dt>\nOne way or another, it’s likely the new year has found you confronted about the right thing to do. That probable circumstance corresponds to the concurrent configuration of objects occupying cardinal signs on the zodiac circle.<\/p>\n
As the Sun enters and moves through a cardinal arena (Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn) a new season begins. Because astrology begins with the Sun (without which there would be no Moon, no planets, no you), any other object or point traversing a cardinal sign may be interpreted as emulating the Sun.<\/p>\n
Right now, there are a lot of sign-ruling planets, other significant objects, and prominent postulated points emulating the Sun’s traversal of cardinal Capricorn by also occupying cardinal signs themselves. Hence, the astrology beginning 2014 implies that whatever you are involved in getting underway is inherently important — perhaps more important than you know.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In addition to your recently initiated efforts being implicitly important, the orientation of the cardinal slices of the zodiac pie to each other carries a message of its own.<\/p>\n
Every sign of a given quality (cardinal, fixed or mutable) is opposed to another of the same quality and at a right angle (or square) to the other two, which are likewise distinguished. Oppositions and squares have a more discouraging reputation than they deserve, mainly because they correspond to work more than ease.<\/p>\n
Everybody appreciates that which is easy, and rightfully so. Work, on the other hand, is among the proverbial four-letter words, but undeservedly so.<\/p>\n
Work yields results that no form of ease can provide. That’s because the only certainty in your world is change. With ease comes changes you do not author. With your work, you become a participant in how your world changes.<\/p>\n
With the Sun, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto all in cardinal signs with lots of other company to start the year (and, by implication, a new season in your life) it seems as though you have your work cut out for you. On the other hand, there is a correlating indication of how the values you bring to your work, and the energy you put into it, will be returned in spades so long as you are doing the right thing. As a matter of fact, it appears as though the work begins with figuring out what the right thing is. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The Capricorn combination of the Sun, Pluto and retrograde Venus opposing Jupiter’s retrograde through Cancer implies a dynamic regarding authority (as represented by both the Sun and Jupiter) and your efforts to do the right thing. Among the options of an opposition dynamic is conflict, but that is rarely the only option.<\/p>\n
With the Moon joining Jupiter in Cancer today, and waxing towards fullness tomorrow, indications are something is coming to a head. The implied culmination is good news in that your work along the Cancer-Capricorn axis is about to yield results. To get the best possible results, the Moon’s involvement means you will need to feel your way through the next few days in order to do the right thing while employing the best available options.<\/p>\n
Because an unrestrained confrontation with authority does not usually end well, it would be useful to consider three other options that are usually available during an opposition across the zodiac. The first is creativity, which (when cardinal signs are involved) requires you to initiate a shared enthusiasm, re-directing the confrontational into creative channels. With retrograde Venus in the mix, review your values and find places where yours match with those of authority. With Pluto involved, the results could be both long lasting and transformational for everybody involved. Yes, it will probably be a lot of work, but also probably worth it.<\/p>\n
In the event that common ground cannot be found over the next few days, there are two other options implied by the Full Moon that will allow you to find your way without conflict and still do the right thing, with everything ending well: either negotiation or holding the tension to wait for a better time.<\/p>\n
The key to remember about negotiation is that it is made available by participation. The extent you have been participating in efforts initiating with this new year is the extent you will be entitled to negotiate. If confrontation does not look like a way to accomplish the right thing, and if neither creative options nor negotiated settlements seem available, the best option might be that which will be the most work for you, sustained only by astrology’s indication that the results will be worth it.<\/p>\n
To do the right thing during the opposition of the cardinal Capricorn Sun to the cardinal Cancer Full Moon, you may have to take on the most challenging option indicated in present circumstances by holding tension through inaction. You may have to wait patiently for the planets (or at least the Moon) to move on, passively employing the only certainty of your life — change — to your advantage. If the other two cardinal signs are any indication, that option will be the most work, and possibly carry the greatest reward of all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Squaring the Full Moon axis from Cancer to Capricorn is the axis between the other two cardinal signs, Aries and Libra. In the Aries corner, wearing the electric blue trunks, is galvanizing Uranus — confident and cocky. In the Libra corner, wearing the fiery red trunks (and carrying a chip on its shoulder) is energetic Mars.<\/p>\n
That’s a lot of energy. What’s more, as symbolized by the Aries-Libra square to the Full Moon axis, that energy is playing out inside you. The easy news about that situation is that the Cancer Full Moon is yours to win, by doing the right thing. The hard news is that you will need to work diligently on yourself, and maintain the necessary balance to get the right thing done.<\/p>\n
It’s about reviewing your values so as to know the right thing in the first place. It means balancing the necessity to stand in the power of your convictions through the winds of change with the necessity of not letting the power of your own energy push you off balance, and into doing the wrong thing.<\/p>\n
The situation entails encountering the power of authority with options rather than conflict so that what you have initiated this year will culminate fortunately. Most of all, it will mean work, beginning with work on yourself to manage your energy.<\/p>\n
If managed into balance, your energy will get the job done, even if it’s necessary to hold all of the tension, both inside and out, until the only certainty in your life — change — brings the right time and the right thing together. The Full Moon this month really is yours to win, and the astrology is showing you how.<\/p>\n
