New Year Resolutions that work!
The great pattern of change that many people have been referring
to for the last few years is activated by this New Moon to
a huge extent. Practical, physical changes are being provoked
by the need to survive the way life is NOW, rather than living
in hopes of a return to past safety. It’s as though
the ground we are standing on is moving along, but the rails
of habit we hold onto for support are stationary! The Sun(Moon)
is shining directly from this overthrowing-of-the-past (Pluto
in Capricorn), and we really do know what we need to
do right now in our own lives (Mercury is right there,
too). So our New Year resolutions need to be about letting
go of habits, and will have more power than usual.
Procrastinating, or ignoring the area of pressure, will not
stop change from happening. We need the natural caution of
Capricorn, but that doesn’t mean considering possible
actions from a fearful or resistant perspective. Whatever
we plan - and follow through - will be likely to bring healing
to painful past situations (the Capricorn bunch sextile Chiron).
Our desire to expand the expression of caring, will harness
the deep determination that makes things happen (Jupiter
trines Saturn in Scorpio).
Four-square
facing the unknown . . .
This chart also shows a powerful energetic kick to get on
with the changes (Mars squares the Capricorn bunch from
Libra, and Uranus from Aries), and you may already have
felt that the pressure is coming from your relationships.
It’s a make-or-break month, and it’s up to us
individually to make the necessary changes willingly, or otherwise
have changes forced on us by circumstances, which is much
more difficult to manage. If we ‘go for it’ with
resolution and firm determination, we will feel supported,
and the feeling of moving inexorably towards an unknown future
will bring people together with a warm sense of family-feeling
(Jupiter in Cancer opposite the bunch).
Communication will be powerful - the ideas whose time has
come! This is ‘going for it’ on a global level;
a time for the whistle-blowing to be not just heard but acted
on; a time for the practical solutions to energy problems
to be taken up and used, rather than shelved for the sake
of profit; innovations and initiatives openly declared and
followed - exciting beginning to 2014!

Observe while remaining involved
From the Full Moon on 16 January, we may find our focus again
back-tracking through recent relationship attitudes and events
(Venus retrogrades into square relationship with Mars),
recognising what goes wrong, and endeavouring to become more
present now and in the future. This kind of re-working could
be painful, but will be well-received emotionally, and blessed
by the universe (Jupiter connects). A measure of
detachment may creep in, but let it be for observation of
what’s really happening rather than cutting off from
the problems (Mercury will be in Aquarius sextiling Uranus).
The ground is moving - move with it
During this month, the oneness of ‘heaven and earth’
becomes more accessible for those who sense that level (the
Moon’s North Node is moving backwards into a perfect
trine with Neptune). It is as though we can feel the
spirit of earth, the love in Nature’s expression of
life, the gift of understanding that comes when we sense our
oneness with it all. And this is the background for whatever
changes we choose to make in our lives.
Stand in the inner light of your spirit to decide what you
personally need to change or develop, and you will move forward
with the ground under your feet, and angelic forces for support.
Let this be the beginning of an amazing 2014
- I wish you a Happy New Year!
