Sun, Mercury and Venus
Conjunct in Capricorn
Mid-January

The triple conjunction in Capricorn has been playing Musical Chairs in the sky.
Mercury, now retrograde in Capricorn, has moved behind The Capricorn Sun.
Venus, in Capricorn, too, has caught up to The Sun and moved out in front.
So, Venus now leads The Sun for the first time since last March.

These aspects formed around 15 / 23°.
Here's what the conjunction looked like earlier this month.

See below for glyph meanings.

And here's what it looks like now.
Notice how Mercury and Venus have changed places
relative to the position of the Sun.

Before we get started ...
A quick correction.
Ok, first things first. After carefully checking and double-checking the information on the time of the New Moon in Capricorn for yesterday's issue of Step by Step, to make absolutely sure I got it right, I got it wrong ... anyway. Have I mentioned Mercury and Mars are both Retrograde??
The New Moon in Capricorn arrives at 12:11 AM FRIDAY morning, not Thursday. That's right after midnight (MT) going into Friday. Peter finally made it into Albuquerque to get my new Pocket Astrologer yesterday -- two weeks into the New Year. That's how crazy life has been here lately. Perhaps that will help me stay on track -- but don't count on it!

Now, on to today's business. There's been a change in the relative positions of Mercury and Venus relative to the Sun as it finishes its tour through Capricorn for the year. Mercury has moved behind the Sun. Venus has moved out in front. All three are in Capricorn, giving plenty of focus to the themes of that self-disciplined, pragmatic sign.
This change in the positions of Mercury and Venus foretell some subtle changes in the way you'll work with information and relationships for a while. Frankly, it's the sort of thing you might notice only because it's been pointed out to you ... but then, that's what a tour guide is for -- to help you recognize and work with the changes in the cosmic climate -- both great and small. Let's call the one I'm writing about today modest but important.

If you have Natal Chart placements near 15 - 23° of any sign, this pattern brings other pieces of your life into the business at hand. As always, the location by sign and house of these extra Natal placements will describe the components of the current action -- and show just what's happening where and why.
The area in your Natal Chart that holds these degrees of Capricorn is getting some mighty heavy attention at the moment. Look for positive, obvious changes to bloom here soon as a result.
Wherever these aspects fall in your Natal Chart, look for ...

Daily Lunar Horoscope Forecast for Wednesday 13th of January 2010
(Date and Times are based on Mountain Standard Time.
Look at Denver at The World Clock - Time Zones
to see what time it is now where we are.)
From 5:22 AM:
A mood of intense purpose and organized vision arrives. You are ready to build things of lasting value ... with a dedication that borders on obsession. This is ambition with a capital "A." Your motivation is almost frightening. So is your willingness to run straight over anyone or anything who gets in your way.
From 7:10 AM:
Your outlook is serious, business-like and self-controlled. Trouble is ... the partners you need to make some of your visions real aren't willing to help -- or they're off "doing their own thing" on projects that are no good to you at all.
From 9:42 AM:
Heart and head unite in an ambitious effort to advance the interests of your public life, highlight your professional goals, and bring your career efforts front and center. A conservative, methodical, systematic mood prevails -- and the progress possible now to set and pursue long-term objectives is one of the best you'll ever see.
Don't waste this cosmic gift. It will come again later this month when Mercury goes direct ... but such a second bite of the apple is rare.
