Happy New Year!
 

And a powerful year it will be! 2024 = 8. Pluto, Scorpio, and the 8th house deal with POWER, the right and wrong uses of power, the buildup of power, and the relationship of power to force and control. And let’s not forget its opposite: powerlessness, impotence, victimization, martyrdom, and slavery. The stakes run high this year with some big changes on the horizon, and this week kicks it off with Mars entering Capricorn.

What I wanted to bring up in today’s report but didn’t have the time is the relationship of Capricorn to the Patriarchy, which has brought us top/down, hierarchical, male-dominated power structures since the fall of the matriarchy in the Capricorn sub-age of the Age of Cancer 7,660-6,580 BC. With Pluto, the force of evolution, in the last degree of Capricorn heading into Aquarius while we birth the 2160-year-long Age of Aquarius, we are experiencing (or I should prefer to say creating) new structures to reflect the growth in consciousness that has occurred over these thousands of years.

As such, we are at a pivotal turning, like a changing of the guard, where power needs/will be transferred from these old forms to the new. However, as free will is foundational to the human race, varying degrees of resistance to the evolution of our species exist, which inevitably leads to pain. The more we embrace, initiate, and bring positive change forward into our lives and the lives of all we “hold near and dear,” the smoother and less painful this transition will be. Let’s do it!

As a powerful person of integrity,

I need to be inwardly clear,

And commit to serving and give my best,

To all I hold near and dear.

This week, as the Sun proceeds through Capricorn and Mars enters it on Thursday, the time is ripe to focus on bringing order to chaos, initiating new plans, and committing to creating what we want this year. In this week’s report, I speak to the sacred, earthly, and personal expressions of the King/Queen energy as well as the shadow side of corrupt leadership (ego-driven).

Particularly challenging (and empowering) is the Sun squaring Chiron in Aries all week (exact on Saturday). This square mirrors the tension between us expressing our own personal kingly/queenly power when it is being taken, blocked, and suppressed by corrupt people and institutions of power in today’s world. This week offers us the opportunity to recommit ourselves to our soul path of service to our loved ones and all we hold dear in this world. To do so, we must reclaim our power, speak our truth, and heal the wounds of powerlessness and victimization represented by Chiron in Aries.

It’s wonderful that the Sun is simultaneously trining Uranus, the enlightened rebel, along with Mercury direct in a 3/4 square to Neptune for the third pass. These aspects bring fresh insights, inspiration, and even visions for us to manifest into reality this year. There is no greater need right now than influential leaders in every walk of life to bring about the changes this year will ask of us. Like the Indian chief claiming power from the tribe in this week’s Sabian Symbol, let’s declare our sovereignty and lay out some strategies for the powerful, eight year of 2024. See you there!

This week’s song is We Three Kings.

So Much Love,
