Capricorn Week: 11-17 February 2019

As an earth sign you are grounded by nature, at home in the practical, material world – and as you are also ruled by Saturn – you prefer systems, method and order and above all – structure! Your house, apartment, home town, homeland, family and/or household has not delivered any of this. Not now, not ever – for at least the last ten years, anyway. The planet Uranus, a symbol of upheaval, radical change, acts of rebellion, new possibilities and never-ending uncertainty has been with you since 2010. Every Capricorn person has played this in a unique way. You may be a landlady or landlord. An Air BnB traveller or host. A builder. Your family may be your firm. Perhaps questions about nationality, patriotism or your roots have triggered one shock after another. We do associate Uranus with shock. This planet was discovered in the same year that Luigi Galvani demonstrated the electrical basis of nerve impulses by making a frog’s muscles twitch, by jolting them with a spark from an electrostatic machine. It was an accidental discovery that shocked him and no doubt the deceased frog. This idea about electrifying atmospheres, accidental discoveries, static in the air, twitching and jolting sums up what has been happening to you for years, now. It stops on March 7^th, but the life education continues. In fact, Capricorn, when it comes to questions about roots, heritage, family tree, residences, flatmates and room-mates, live-in partners, family and the rest – you are about to begin a long period of learning. It will not stop until the year 2026, when you will be shown what is possible, what is impossible, what is acceptable and what is unacceptable. Forget absolutes. There are no absolutes from March. Right now, this week, there is a conjunction between Mars and Uranus which will deliver another electrical storm, affecting the family [perhaps) or the household. Maybe the actual physical structure of your apartment or house, your garden and so on. Mars makes a showing, which suggests the possibility of conflict. It does not have to be that way. If you are actually working on a premise, with hammer in hand, or spade dug in the soil, take your time and think your approach through. Slow down.
