Capricorn demands integrity, discipline and responsibility to accomplish this. Yeah, it's time to grow up! So if you're planning to do a vision board for this important new Moon, please skip the big new house, the Bentley and the million-dollar prosperity bonus. It's time to reorder your priorities! (That vision board might wait until the Taurus new Moon.)
This solar eclipse calls us to envision a new society, and since conspicuous consumption is part of the old world order, it's inappropriate now. It is time, however, to come up with new ideas about why we're here on Earth at this momentous time in our history.
What new ideas would you like to share with the group? How would you run the show if you were in charge? Just because you don't have an "official' title doesn't mean you can't step up and be the adult in your workplace, your community or your country.
Like a character in one of my favorite movies "Sneakers" you might want to demand from our government world peace. Easier said than done! So you need to dig deeper (yes, I know the ground is frozen so it takes more effort) and come up with your own idea about how to achieve world peace. That's the intention you need to plant and then nurture in this coming year.
Since Pluto in Capricorn energizes the transformation of what is dead and outgrown in our society, perhaps we need to look at the foundational beliefs of our social structures and see if they still hold true for the future we are facing.
Of the many philosophical ideas that underpin our western capitalist democracy, these are two of many that I feel need transformation. Please feel free to document any others.
The first is the Protestant work ethic, the Calvinist belief that hard work is an essential proponent of a person's calling and worldly success is a sign of personal salvation. Basically God loves you if you work hard and get rich, while you are considered a sinner if you're poor or don't work. Hopefully we've seen the hypocrisy of that belief!
This mostly unconscious belief contributes to both the greed and hypocrisy of our corporations and the powerful, as well as the shame and despair that fill people when they lose their jobs. And it's just not true!
