Hi everyone. Today I'd like to talk to you about the Capricorn solstice, which is coming up on the
21st of December. It's at 1.21am Pacific and 9.21am UK time, and I'll be showing that chart
in a moment. And as we know, the solstices and equinoxes are very important, even,
and they act as a kind of backdrop, the first layer of paint on the canvas, as it were,
for the three months to come. So they set the tone, and even ancient peoples were very aware
of these, very tuned into these. They held ceremonies at this time because they were aware
that the veils were thinner. Our ability to get more high-level information is easier at these
times, and we're increasing in our psychic sensitivity all the time, as many of you are
aware and feeling. So let us take a look at the chart. It's a very interesting one.
Okay, so here we have, I've set this chart for London, England, where I live,
and at the Capricorn solstice, of course, this is the time when the Sun enters Capricorn,
zero of Capricorn. And Capricorn energy is really about our mastery, our discipline.
It's an energy that wants to build for the long term. So it's going to be very interesting to
see what the ingredients of this Capricorn solstice is. And this is obviously very important
because we are just a week or so away from entering 2025, which I think is going to be
an incredibly eventful, dynamic, and historic year. Enormously important. I'm going to be
doing a month-by-month analysis of it next week with my good friend and colleague, Kathy Rose,
as we did last year. And I'm also, in the next couple of weeks, going to be sharing some of
the big themes that I think are going to be coming forward in 2025, and there are a lot of them.
So this is the setup, if you like. Now, what's interesting, I mean, there's so many interesting
things here, but we have a T-square between the Sun at zero of Capricorn and the nodal axis at
2°03' of Aries and 2°03' of Libra. It's a T-square. So all of these points are on the world
axis. The world axis is zero degrees of the cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn,
to two degrees either side. And yes, this is 2°03', but I'll allow that. I'll allow the
three minutes over. And so, obviously, every time we have an equinox or a solstice,
the Sun is entering a cardinal sign, but here it's picking up the T-square to the nodal axis.
Now, again, the Sun, because it obviously moves one degree a day around the zodiac,
it does that fairly frequently, but not at the solstice because all of these points are on the
world axis. So what that means is this is really saying this is another very significant choice
point for humanity. Whenever the Sun squares the nodal axis, it's an important choice point.
And what are the choices? Well, as I've talked a great deal about, you're either living in
love or you're living in fear. And really to emphasise that, this end of the nodal axis, the
north node, which is our collective soul's path of destiny at this time is in Aries, so that is
about our sovereignty, our independence. It's also conjunct Neptune here. So this is our
spiritual sovereignty, being a spiritual warrior, if you like, our spiritual sovereignty.
Whereas the south node, which is what we're moving away from, is in Libra, so that is any
kind of being a people pleaser, compromising our own needs, not being quite so authentic.
I'm talking about the shadow side of Libra here and not rocking the boat, going along
with the majority as it were, not speaking out, whereas Aries is very direct and blunt and speaks
out and very much stands in its individuality. So this is the split, and we are being encouraged
because it's the north node here in Aries conjunct Neptune is to stand as a spiritual warrior,
stand in our sovereignty. The north node is also conjunct Manwe, very, very tightly within six
minutes, Manwe 2°09 of Aries. Manwe is the highest intelligence in the universe,
part of the creation myth, as I've often talked about, where he and his wife Varda really created
the whole universe. So the fact he is also, I'd allow that being on the world axis and conjunct
the north node and the Capricorn Solstice is really saying this is a major initiation point,
a major new beginning. And one of the big, big themes of Manwe is the triumph of light over dark,
the triumph of light over dark. So I see this, just even that T-square that I've talked about,
as a further splitting of the timelines. And I mean that dimensionally. You're living in fear,
you're living in love, you're standing in your authenticity and your sovereignty, or are you
just not rocking the boat, going along with the crowd? This could not be more important in terms
of the choices we are making entering 2025. And I'm going to be talking more about that as we go
through. So the fact that Manwe has a 288-year orbit, that becomes very significant because
the north node does not come very frequently to that point, only around about every 19 years or so.
Also, here we have Pluto at zero degrees of Aquarius. Now we know that Pluto
re-entered Aquarius for the final time in its cycle on the 19th of November, and it will stay
there till January 2044. But the fact it's at zero varies is a very important degree
at this Capricorn solstice. Now I think it's been very interesting that since Pluto, well,
it was literally a few days away from a US Congress, a series of congressional hearings
on UFOs because Aquarius is very related to the out there, the galactic beings, the foreigners,
the mavericks. We are galactic beings too, don't forget. I think that is very interesting.
And since the 19th of November, how many UFO sightings have there been across the world?
Quite a lot in America, but not exclusively. I think the whole shift into reconnecting to
our galactic heritage is a huge thing that this Capricorn solstice is setting up very clearly.
Now, as many of you know, in December on the Capricorn solstice back in 2020,
21st of December 2020, we had what was called the Great Conjunction between Saturn and Jupiter
at zero degrees of Aquarius. And that set up round about another 140 to 150-year cycle
of repeating 20-year conjunctions of Jupiter and Saturn in air signs. Remember, Aquarius isn't a
water sign, it's an air sign. And so, Jupiter-Saturn conjunction set up the zeitgeist
for the next 140, 150 years. And that is being reactivated right now by Pluto being exactly at
that degree that was already set up in December at the Capricorn solstice December 2020.
So, what are some of the themes? Well, I talked about this ad infinitum at the time,
as did all the other astrologers, but there are themes around freedom, human rights,
civil rights, power beginning to shift to the people, revolution, technological innovation,
acceleration of AI, galactic connections, paradigm shattering times overall. So many new
discoveries and solutions, but I'll talk much more about that as we go through the coming months and
years. But nevertheless, that's been very highlighted at this Capricorn solstice.
We also have a very powerful T-square here because we have the ongoing square between
Jupiter, 14 of Gemini, and Saturn at 13 of Pisces. Saturn is exact to the degree
opposing the Moon, 13 of Virgo, and Jupiter is squaring the Moon. So, it's a mutable
T-square. And I've talked already, in fact, I've got a whole separate video on the Jupiter-Saturn
square, and in that video, I was really talking about it personally for you. But here,
if we're looking at it in a global sense, this is very interesting because, first of all,
the Moon in Virgo, very often, Virgo is related to health. It's related to your gut. It's related
to your overall physical health and tiny things that can interfere with health. Bacteria,
parasites, that kind of thing. It is conjunct a dwarf planet called Orcus. Orcus is the Etruscan
god who punishes those who violate sacred law, divine law. He takes them down to the Underworld
and makes them see the error of their ways, makes them see the truth, and punishes them.
And this is all around the area of health, so I think this is very interesting. And Jupiter
is enlarging whatever this is about. It's blowing it up because Jupiter is expanding all the facts,
the information in Gemini, maybe on social media too, that is coming out at this time.
And also, Saturn in Pisces. Pisces is to do with the blood and the immune system as well,
and this is acting as a kind of reality check. And it's conjunct Nessus at 17 of Cancer. Nessus
is a centaur I've talked about before. One of the big themes of Nessus is,
the buck stops here. The myth which I've discussed before is around poisoning and
gaslighting and that kind of thing, but it's the buck stops here. And Saturn is acting as
a reality check to whatever is emerging at this time. Saturn opposing the Moon can be
a little bit sobering in this reality check. Oh my goodness, are those the facts?
So, this is going to be a very interesting period in time, I think, to see what emerges.
Because this Saturn-Jupiter square is the first testing point for the Saturn-Jupiter conjunction
I've just talked about at the Capricorn Solstice, 21st of December, 2020. Now, what was happening
around that time? Well, that was a very interesting time, as you may remember, because
that was when the first vaccines were being launched, that exact month they were being
launched then. And then we had the first exact square between Saturn and Jupiter, and that was
on the 19th of August. That was just a few days away from a WHO very important meeting. They
That was within a few days of that first exact square between Saturn and Jupiter. So,
we have an interesting theme building here. Now, that all fizzled out. The next exact square is
within three days of this solstice on Christmas Eve, 24th of December. It'll be very interesting
to see what's emerging at this time. It's not far away at all. And the final square doesn't
happen until June next year. So, whatever is emerging as a theme at this time around the issue
that was set up at December 2020, that is one of the big themes for sure. But I've discussed other
themes in previous videos and in that separate video about Saturn-Jupiter that I'll put below.
So, fascinating to see what will be emerging at this time. The other thing to say is that
Virgo is very much about discernment. Jupiter is about truth, it's about the law,
and Jupiter is about discernment, being very particular about the detail and the facts that
we are sifting as correct and those that we don't believe are correct. So, we are going to be
using our intuition, but also using our mental faculties here in that Gemini and Virgo are both
ruled by Mercury to really discern what's true and what's not around all of this.
Truth is a big issue here. Truth is a big issue because Jupiter is a strong part of this whole
Capricorn Solstice. It is also opposing Mercury in the sign of Sagittarius, which Jupiter rules,
which is also all about truth and the law. In addition to that, we have Uranus, another planet
to do with truth. These are the two planets linked to truth, and Uranus is in this very obsessive
quindecile to Mercury, 165-degree aspect. You've got to use a two-degree, very tight orb with that.
This is an aspect of obsession, upheaval, upset, won't leave the truth alone, got to dig for the
truth, got to get to the bottom, very obsessive. So, you have these two planets linked to the truth
that are really digging into this Mercury in Sagittarius, also linked to truth and the law.
Really, really fascinating here. We also have Mars opposing Pluto. We had this on the 3rd of November
initially in this cycle. This is like brute force. It's an opposition, so
we can feel a strong sense of polarization or people with rage coming at us. Because it was
angular, that opposition in the US at the time by astrochartography, and the way that manifested,
I think, was very much the extreme polarization and the very intense heightened feelings that
were running in the US just two days before the US election. This is going to be exact again on
the 3rd of January, and then it's going to be exact again on the 26th of April.
So, I never know the events, but this is being set up already for the exact opposition on the 3rd of
January, 2025. So, there's some kind of polarization, separation, rage, brute force.
This can be a brute force in the world. It can be some very explosive events or war-like events.
Mars is God of War. These are both planets linked to power. We'll have to see what emerges, but it's
very, very strong indeed. The Sun is also conjunct a dwarf planet called Ixion,
at five degrees of Capricorn. Ixion is also about primal rage. You'll remember from the
myth that he murdered his father-in-law without any compunction or remorse. He felt nothing about
murdering. That was just fine, and he was then eventually spun off because he also tried to
rape Zeus's wife, who was about to forgive him. He was spun off on a burning wheel into eternity.
But there's a very different side to Ixion, a very positive side, which is you just want to
step out of the normal social mores, the mainstream, and find a simple road to joy.
Go your own authentic, individual way and find a simple road to joy. And this is also part of this
Capricorn solstice with a very clear message. The other thing which I think is beautiful here
and really important is that there is a trine between Jupiter at 14 of Gemini and Venus at 16
of Aquarius and Chariklo, beautiful Chariklo, at 14 of Aquarius. So, this is a very tight trine.
So, Jupiter is enlarging this energy. Venus is a way to love, of course, and this is a very
beneficial aspect that can bring, if you either have Venus or Jupiter in these positions in your
chart by transit, moving through your important areas of your chart, you can experience some
success or abundance or recognition at this time. But it's very interesting, Venus in Aquarius.
I see this not just as a kind of one-to-one love. I see it almost as a more universal love
because it's in Aquarius. And there's another reason for that too, which I'll come to in a
moment. You'll remember Enmyth is the wife of Chiron. She is the sole midwife that is present
when there are transitions of life to death, but also in shifts of consciousness.
She holds sacred space simply by her state of being. She's incredibly healing energy
in that state of being. To me, she's very related to the Buddhist eternal,
that permanent ground of being that is silent that we all have within us that we can drop into
at any moment, that permanent, silent ground of being. It's beautiful. It's deep. It's healing.
It's loving. It's beautiful. So, here we have an incredibly expansive, which I think 2025 will be
big time, loving, universal, healing, just warmth, just being able to sit there and hold
that feeling of healing sacred space almost for the world. It's universal.
And the reason I say it's universal as well, not just the fact it's in Aquarius,
15 degrees of the fixed signs is also what I consider to be on the world axis,
and this is more advanced astrology for astrologers. Because it is 45 degrees
from zero of the cardinals, zero of Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn, 45 degrees is,
in every case, 15 degrees of the fixed signs. I know I'll be losing some people here, but
for astrologers, just know this because it's important. Because what that is doing,
and you've got to use a tight orb of two degrees, what that is doing is really highlighting,
really highlighting this Venus-Chariklo conjunction and throwing it onto the public
stage as well. We are going to be healing with love, and that is going to be a very expansive
love, very high-level love. And I'm going to be talking about this much more in themes for 2025,
but your focus entering 2025, and it's being set up at this Capricorn Solstice,
which lasts for three months, your focus where you put your attention could not be more important.
Which end of the nodal axis are you going to focus on? Because whatever it is,
it's going to be amplified enormously in 2025 because we have a further splitting of the
timelines dimensionally. I hope I'm making sense here, but it's really, really important.
We have a lot here. We have a lot here. So, I'm just going to stop sharing here, but
2025 is going to be such an enormous year, and I often think of Gandhi saying,
be the change you want to see in the world, and yes, absolutely. And so often in my videos,
I've talked about living from the inside out, not the outside in, and dominating your days with the
emotion you choose. Do you choose love? Do you choose joy, gratitude, peace, etc., and dominating
your day with that? But it's actually more than all of those things because as we are entering
this, we are already in the chrysalis process of this massive metamorphosis that we're going
through as humanity, and it's absolutely not an external savior coming to save us.
Humanity is doing this. It's a combination of the time capsule, this inner acorn that's
being activated by the cosmic energies that is creating this huge transformation for humanity.
So, it's the cosmic energies. It's not whoever's voted into power or not. It's the cosmic energies,
the high-frequency light because of the convergence of all of the different timelines,
very large and very small, that I've talked about in my Metamorphosis for Humanity,
my conversation with Richard Rudd about the new human. It's the convergence of all of those
timelines into now, the high-frequency light coming into us that we in every cell of our body
as physical human beings are transmuting in every moment. And if we are living in love, joy,
gratitude, compassion, appreciation, we are more able to transmute that high-frequency light and
embody it. So, we are moving more quickly towards the light body.
Nobody forces you in either direction. It's your frequency that determines this.
So, this is really important, I feel, for us to get as humanity because this is down to each of us.
Nobody can do it for you. No leader can do it for you. No leader's coming to save us.
You know, there may be some helpful people who can accelerate it a little, but this is the mass
of humanity that is doing this, interacting with cosmic energy right now. So, I really want to say
that and that's why I don't get into the political fray very much because this is so much bigger.
What we're going through is so much bigger and better than that, but we know we can change
the future with our consciousness. There is 10 tons of evidence out there for that,
that you will be very aware of. Through our meditations, through our frequency,
we change the future by our consciousness. Even in listening to this video now,
you may have shifted your consciousness a notch or two. And me, in speaking it, I know I have
because I'm excited by this. So, we change tomorrow. We move it up a notch or two, a degree
or two. We, with our consciousness, change our future. And individually and collectively,
we are, we have a big spiritual responsibility to do that. So, step into your future as if it
is already here and live it, live it in every moment as if it is already here for you.
So, very exciting time, I think, on Earth. 2025 is going to be an incredibly, as I say,
dynamic, eventful, expansive, and historic year. Possibly the biggest we've ever lived,
actually, so far in our lifetimes. But lots more of that to come, but in the meantime,
have a wonderful Capricorn Solstice, and I hope this has really helped you. Don't forget to
meditate. The day before is particularly strong. Rory Duff has taught us well that it's the day
before the solstice and equinoxes where the Earth's energy lines come into harmony most
strongly. And just a quick update on Rory for those of you who know him and his work.
I don't have a lot of details. I'm not in direct contact with the family,
but from what I understand, he's, with all of our healing that we've been sending, he has
kind of pulled back from the brink, as it were, pulled back from the extreme danger zone that
I think he was in. Things were a bit touch and go for him. So, if I get any more updates, I will
update you as we go. I think he's got quite a time of recovery ahead of him,
but we just keep sending him our love and our healing. God bless, and I will probably be putting
out another video before Christmas, but if any of you celebrate Christmas, have a wonderful,
wonderful Christmas with family and friends. God bless. Bye for now.
