New moon solar eclipse last tuesday=letting go
New Moon Solar Eclipse on Tuesday, January 4th, 2011, at 4:03 AM EST.
This Week in Astrology
A partial Solar Eclipse occurs on January 4th, 2011, at 4:03 AM EST at 13 degrees and 39 minutes of Capricorn. Its effects as a super potent New Moon can be felt up to six months after the actual date of the eclipse. In the Saturn-ruled sign of Capricorn, public life, career, reputation, achievement, and accountability will be a strong focus on a personal level. This eclipse is about new beginnings regarding all of these matters.
This is a time for setting practical, attainable goals; working on developing maturity and common sense in the personality; considering the future, and preparing for it; focusing on concrete ways of developing self- discipline and self-mastery; finding ways to give satisfying form to wishes; making commitments and recognizing responsibilities; accepting that we are limited, and that, ironically, some of our limitations truly free us to explore deeper dimensions of experience by offering us a secure foundation; and nurturing our dreams in a realistic fashion.
Capricorn teaches us that recognizing our limitations actually frees us to focus on what matters, where we are, who we are, and where we want to go. With the potent Capricorn energy of the Solar Eclipse, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives that will benefit us well beyond this Moon cycle. For some of us, circumstances are such that we need to pay more attention to these matters. Flaws in an important system in our lives are revealed around the time of the eclipse, prompting us to redo or to start fresh. Something ends in order for something else to start anew. We may be called to give up something in order to move forward into a new chapter in our lives. Although the "new" may be unrecognizable, it is important to allow the necessary surrender to the unknown.
The eclipse point itself is square Saturn, suggesting that we might need to work hard to achieve our goals, and possibly face some roadblocks along the way. It occurs on the same day as a Jupiter-Uranus alignment, which is supported via trine from Venus, however, and this points to a real need to move forward and break new ground.
An eclipse occurs close to the nodal axis, and this eclipse is closer to the North Node. Eclipses close to the North Node tend to "feel" easier than those conjuncting or closer to the South Node, as there is a sense of moving forward instead of concentration on having to let go of something.
Major developments in the personal areas ruled by Capricorn in our charts are likely to occur over the course of the next 3-6 months. Note that this is the last solar eclipse in a series of eclipses falling in Cancer-Capricorn. Not everyone will feel the effect of the eclipse with the same intensity. Those whose personal planets are activated by the degree of the eclipse will most feel its effects on a personal level.
