Greetings Star Gazer!
First of all, YES! Mercury goes direct today, mercifully. And it has been a doozy for so many. Re-working, re-doing, and re-doing again. It's not quite full steam ahead, what with Mars (action) and Saturn (structures and systems) still retrograde but many glitches should have been ironed out so at least you are facing in the right direction, that would be where you are intending to go.
The Moon is NEW in Capricorn today, meaning the Sun and Moon are at the same degree in the same sign. It is also a solar eclipse. During a solar eclipse some light from the Sun (or all, during a Total solar eclipse) is blocked from being received here on Earth. Think of that as time of re-booting your consciousness. An excellent and perfect time to release what needs to go and be open to receive what is coming in. You can't receive more if you do not release what is no longer necessary.
Nothing like the cycle of the Moon to acknowledge our own cycles of calling in, releasing, and calling in again. Like the tides, which follow the cycle of the Moon, following the rhythms of the lunar cycle will help you to align with the natural cycles of Life an keep you more in tuned wiht your own natural cyclical process.

The last time a Solar eclipse close to this degree in Capricorn was in January, 1991.
What were you doing at that time? What mountain were you preparing to climb? That was about the time I birthed my flower shop. What a journey! Lots of work and lots of joy in the process. Did I mention lots of work? Now I am birthing Priestess Entrepreneur The TV Show: Kitchen Conversations. My new mountain to climb. The greatest thing about climbing is the view! And, of course, the fabulous wildflowers along the way, which are all my talk-show guests! Want to be interviewed? Email me!

Capricorn, wherever it plays out in your chart, is about self-reliance, accomplishment, authority, and where you will climb to achieve your goals.
This New Moon is conjunct Venus. Venus reminds you that what you love and value, what satisfies. The New Moon in Capricorn directs you to focus your fortitude and efforts towards what you love and value most. Getting clear on that is the force behind this New Moon.
Saturn is a prominent player at this time as well. Saturn (the ruler of Capricorn) turned retrograde on Wednesday. Saturn will hover within 2 degrees of a square to Pluto for almost 4 months, from November 2009 through February 2010. All kinds of challenges to structure and the transformation of structures and systems are becoming evident.
The earthquake in Haiti and the reconstruction of the American health care system are concrete examples of how this energy is playing out in present reality in the bigger picture. It can be ruthless and many suffer as entire systems are being overturned and made into something else.
In your personal life where this square falls in your own chart is where you will see the effects of this powerful transformational thrust. You cannot avoid the changes so you might as well embrace it and use this energy to restructure what needs revamping in your own life. Do you know where this powerful square falls in your chart? Need help interpreting? Schedule a check-in and let's take a look, putting you in the driver's seat of your life, where you belong.

 Capricorn deals with what is REAL, what is practical, and what works. With the New Moon so closely aligned with Mercury's direct movement you can now get going with what is real, what works, and what aligns most correctly with your values. Now get going on what's important to you! Only you know what that is.

On Sunday Jupiter, planetary energy of expansion and flow, moves into the mutable water sign of Pisces. Jupiter has been in Aquarius for the last year. Jupiter will be in Pisces from 17 January 2010 through 5 June 2010 and again 8 September 2010 through 22 January 2011. The last time Jupiter was in Pisces was February 1998 through February 1999.
With Jupiter in Pisces you will see focus and expansion in spiritual growth, intuitive studies, metaphysical studies, dreams. compassion, forgiveness, and escape into fantasy. Where Jupiter in Pisces falls in your chart is where you will be expanding and growing this year and where your dreams will be most elevated to match your vision.
If you have trouble with addictions you might have to address this more this year. Proper,appropriate boundaries and monitoring self-sacrificing behavior will also be on your plate, especially if you tend this way anyway.
Want some clarification of where and how Jupiter will be influencing your life this year?
