Sun in #Capricorn I (22-31 December 2023)

..."The Sun enters Capricorn I The Headless Body (as named by Austin Coppock) on 21 December 2023 at 10:28 pm EST. Although ruled by Saturn, it’s administered by Jupiter, whose favorable trine from the safe vantage point of Taurus I promises that things that are seeded and fertilized now shall deliver positive growth in six months or so. Mercury urges us to attend to detail as the Sun prepares for its annual part in the degree of the winter solstice.

The Sun is below the horizon in this Night Chart, stealing dignity from all the other planets except Saturn, who are all in the wrong parts of the sky to benefit from sect placement. Even retrograde Mercury, just a day away from cazimi (exact from 1:47 pm to 1:54 pm EST), is currently serving with the night sect planets, and delivering messages from Moon to Sun by back channels, as she prepares to confront the solar system’s king at the full moon on December 26 at 7:13 pm EST.

This makes the Moon’s trine to Mercury and the Sun especially powerful, as she is separating from the Sun and progressing to Mercury, while also being in Taurus the sign of her exaltation. This Third Mansion of the Moon, The Many Little Ones is indicated by the Moon’s approach to the stars of the Pleiades, the ‘seven sisters’ riding on the back of the constellation of Taurus, and followed by Aldebaran, the bright red horn-star on the bull’s head. Indicating “many good things” and promising wealth and favor, the Third Mansion is one of the Moon’s favorite watering holes. It’s a favorable omen for Christmas and other winter holidays, when the Moon will be full in her own domicile — and dominant over the Sun between the Solstice and New Year’s."...
