Our week ahead features passion, brilliant ideas, discord, fires and the psychological opportunity to accept defeat gracefully. Venus changes signs to leave passionate Sagittarius for somber Saturn ruled Capricorn for 24 days ~ love and money come down to earth and get real. Venus changes signs on the same day that Eris, the Goddess of Discord stations to go forward. Eris’ station at 21 Aries on Tuesday amplifies the energy of the New Moon at 21 Capricorn later in the week as they form a psychological closing square to each other. You’ll have what the heavens call an opportunity to process something that needs to be handled and worked with internally to release an old, karmic situation that is psychologically difficult for you. I know, that sounds a bit vague yet kind of difficult ~ so here’s another way of thinking about it.

Eris is a relative newcomer on the scene only being discovered in January 2005. She has already made herself quite well known as we’ve watched discord expand, seemingly exponentially, in the world around us. Maybe I am just getting older but it seems like everyone is cranky about something lately. Disagreements between people seem more intractable and dug into their positions than ever before. People end relationships rather than negotiate new terms. Eris as the chip on her shoulder evil and dark sister of Mars LOVES to foment problems between people. So we can anticipate, as she stations, that we will be problems fomenting. She managed to start the Trojan War where people fought for 10 years because of a silly Golden Apple and pridefulness so don’t put anything past her.

Eris stops this week on Tuesday. So five to six days before and five to six days after her station, we feel the result or impact of her energy. That is because stationing planets always kick up their heels and a whole lot of dust. So from New Year’s Day to Monday January 14, Eris is stirring discord. When planets station, their energy is amplified and ramped up. On Friday, Moon and Sun in Capricorn meet up, square to the degree of Eris’ station. That degree, 21:46 of the Cardinal signs, was basically where Saturn sat, opposite, last summer, in May, June and July, when he parked on 22 of Libra. So the lessons of last summer are up and dancing around the room as Eris points out how we are NOT getting what we thought we wanted. Or we got something we thought we wanted and NOW we realize it is NOT what we want. Or we got something in a format we’ve since figured out isn’t really working for us anymore. So here we go for some psychological work or processing on the matter as Eris squares the New Moon. When you realize that you got (or didn’t get) something you thought you wanted but now no longer want, you have a few choices about how to handle it.

The choices of how to handle it are Gracefully or NOT Gracefully. Choose Gracefully if you can.

So let’s say you got married last summer, in a hot rush, and now realize your new bride doesn’t want to have children while you are getting older by the second. Or your company merged with another firm and you hate the new place it has become. Or you were offered a romantic opportunity that you’ve dreamed and yearned for but now that it actually arrived, you don’t like that it is repeating the same old patterns of your previous relationships. Or you moved to a new city to start a new life to find your old behaviors are causing similar problems in your new life ~ who knew? Or the person you begged to change actually changed but you don’t like the new, sober, no drama life they are offering to you. Or you said you wanted to do something, you started it and now you are nervous or anxious because it actually is going pretty well and you might actually HAVE your dream take place yet you want to run away and hide from it.

Accept Defeat Gracefully. Look at it. Understand the underlying pattern. Get clear on where your stuff is causing the situations to reoccur in ways you don’t much like.

Then understand, it isn’t actually DEFEAT ~ it is REPEAT. Accept Repeat Gracefully.

In my case, I recently signed up for internet dating. I made a lot of noise about wanting a better work / life balance, maybe it is time for a relationship. Yada Yada. Or at least it is time to get back out there again…. whatever back out there means when you are 58 and haven’t been out there for a while. So I enrolled in an age appropriate site that has men my age who don’t want 20 years olds. Now, I am getting winked at, friendly emails, flirted with and “I like your profile”. And I AM FROZEN, simply frozen. Quite Anxious. I’d checked “Big and Beautiful” ~ what an obnoxious ~ yet accurate ~ way to describe myself. And who knew ~ there are sites for men who LIKE Big and Beautiful women… so THOSE SITES are emailing me to sign up with them too. Clearly someone is sharing my email and profile ~ did I check that box?! It looks like I might actually be successful at meeting someone. I am looking at emails and going “What do I do NOW?” Answer the emails you silly girl! Ah, if it were only that easy! I am back into “dating anxiety mode” again ~ I always HATED dating. That awkward, what do I do now part of the whole process. Much easier to fast forward into the connected relationship part… but to GET to what I SAY I want, the connected relationship part, I have to Accept Repeat (and Defeat) Gracefully and go through this not so fun part. So I talked to a friend who dates aggressively ~ she gave me a checklist of her approach ~ One email with a phone number included. A 15 minute phone call. If all systems are go, a one hour date. A written recap of what you learned about them. Next or Repeat. Seems simple enough if I can manage to do it. I thought of Mittens Romney and made my very own “Binder of Men.” Accept Repeat Gracefully….

The huge Finger of God in the heavens is asking us to make changes in our lives. It is encouraging us to go for what we want. To move forward in the direction we say we want to head. To accept defeat or repeat Gracefully. No shouting and screaming. No 10 years of a Trojan War. No drama and craziness. Just do it. Just move forward. Understand that your inhibitions, anxieties and fears are all PART OF THE PACKAGE. As we move forward ~ and right now the Heavens are PUSHING US to move forward and change ~ we are going to run right into our fears, anxieties and dark spots in our soul. Accept them Gracefully. Don’t let them defeat you forever but do let them guide you toward what you SAY you want even if you aren’t so sure now that the time has arrived that you actually DO want what you SAID you wanted. LIVE IN THE MOMENT. NO past. NO future. Do the task before you. MOVE on!

I know. Being human is complicated. Plant lots of seeds between now and the end of March in the various areas that you think you want to have grow. Say yes to everything that remotely appeals. Accept defeat or repeat gracefully. Keep moving! No worries. Just keep moving even if you FEEL a bit paralyzed or anxious or afraid or out of control.

If you are feeling ANXIOUS ~ that means Uranus is pushing on you to change. CHANGE your behavior and MOVE toward the anxiety… feel it but take a step or three toward it. If you feel like you are POWERLESS or NEED TO CONTROL a situation that means Pluto is asking you to evolve and let go of desire to control ~ go with the flow. LET GO. OPEN UP the triangle to a higher vision. If you are feeling FEAR or SHOULD Dos in a situation, that means Saturn is pushing on you to feel the fear and do it anyway OR to say NO to the authority that is pushing on you to comply. Be your own Authority. If you are feeling dithery ~ well Jupiter is in Gemini ~ so dither away. Take time to write down ALL your options. What do you actually WANT? What is Plan A, Plan B and a back up vision? Fingers of God are stressful little buggers…. Depending on which Leg or planet is getting stimulated, they push us to shift and move and go for it by living in the moment.

There also are a HUGE amount of quintiles and bi-quintiles in the heavens this week. Quintiles and Bi-quintiles are 5th harmonics ~ made by dividing the circle by 5 and comprised of 72 degrees. Their degree amount, 72, adds up to a 9 ~ so they are considered the karmic gifts that you arrive carrying in your chart in this life time. When they are in the heaven above us, your quintiles and bi-quintiles vibrate to the energy. Fives vibrate and answer to the planet Mercury. Quintiles and Biquintiles are about freedom, travel, adventure, lively, witty, difficult to pin down, quick in emergencies, need for change and variety, sharp, agile, versatile, mentally active and effervescent. The Quintiles and Bi-quintile bring that kind of energy into your life this week and cause all sorts of illuminating breakthroughs.

Pallas Athena leaves dreamy Pisces to enter kick butt Aries on Thursday. Our pattern seer is back in good strategic and detached form after her dreamy journey in Pisces as Mars in Aquarius is ruling her visionary gifts. Flying at 20,000 feet, you are not going to miss a trick this week.

There is a Full Moon On Friday January 11, 2013 which starts a new cycle of creation. The Capricorn New Moon takes place at 21:46 Capricorn. It is inspired by Saturn in the powerful Finger of God to step forward and accept the change in your life Gracefully.

The Sabian Image for the New Moon is A GENERAL ACCEPTING DEFEAT GRACEFULLY. Lynda Hill’s interpretation of the symbol is :
Commentary: ‘A General’ is seen ‘Accepting Defeat Gracefully’. He has to acknowledge a ‘Defeat’ of some kind and respond without losing face. Being a ‘General’, this person is obviously often a “winner”, respected for being in charge and in command. Now there’s the need for acknowledgment of a loss or a ‘Defeat’, or a backing down of some kind.

Oracle: There’s an old saying: Winning or losing doesn’t matter as much as how you play the game. Through the acceptance of ‘Defeat’, one can often discover important and valuable life lessons. Merely making excuses can lead to the same mistakes being made again and again, when there is no longer any point in pushing matters. At a time of “surrender”, it is the way a situation is handled that will be remembered the most. It is how ‘Gracefully’ you handle ‘Defeat’ that will be the measure of your inner worth both to yourself and others. Sometimes it is wise to concede when the “victory” or the “prize” is more valuable for your opponent than oneself. Admitting that one has lost or is prepared to give up can free you up to get on with your life and more rewarding adventures. Learning from ‘Defeat’ can bring strength of character. On a deeper level, ‘Defeat’ shows us that we are neither perfect, nor indestructible. Is the objective, battle or conflict really worth winning or pursuing? Going for revenge, greed or glory can often prove to end up badly as things can turn sour. Sometimes pushing your agenda can hurt your cause and it’s better to back off and hold your tongue. Struggling to have your point made or accepted may be self-defeating. This can happen in simple everyday situations such as conversation with others not understanding what you’re saying or doing. Realizing that you’re not going to change others can lead to being able to ‘Accept’ things in a better light.

Keywords: True inner worth. Being a “good loser”. Learning that every minor skirmish in life is not a major ‘Defeat’. Being prepared to start again. Sacrificing things for the benefit of others. Nobility of character. Letting go of the “charge” around anger. Surrendering.

The Caution: Being a “bad loser”. Feeling everything is going to come out badly. Reliance on self-limitations. Seeing the negative in everything. Losing what’s been worked for. Making excuses to get out of tight situations. Betrayal and loss. Loss of support. Surrendering too early. Giving up on life.

The greatness of a man’s power is the measure of his surrender. William Booth

Defeat is a state of mind. No one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality. Bruce Lee

A proud heart can survive a general failure because such a failure does not prick its pride. Chinese Proverb

An unjust peace is better than a just war. Cicero

Failure is nature’s plan to prepare you for great responsibilities. Napoleon

Always imitate the behavior of winners when you lose. Anon

The surrender of life is nothing to sinking down into acknowledgment of inferiority. John C. Calhoun

You don’t always win your battles, but it’s good to know you fought. Marjorie Holmes

But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated. Ernest Hemingway

Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory. Norman Vincent Peale

This New Moon is going to fall on my SN (conj Venus) literally within a few minutes.

OK So last summer I was getting over a relationship that I ended in the spring because he kept harping on marriage and I didn't want him in the committed sense. I know I made the right choice by ending things to save myself the mental hassle of being in a relationship with him which isn't worth it. I don't want that person back and I needed a season to mentally 'get back to who i am' ykwim.

SO NOW my new relationship *happening* is that my current partner popped the question to me this past SATURDAY but left it up in the air as to my choice (as in not trying to push me into marriage like the last 3 -thankyougodthankyougod-) but he's certain that he's not leaving my side, he's absolute on the fact that he wants to marry me. And here I am feeling like, ay I want a break from the heaviness of relationships. This is someone who I could marry but I'm not ready yet, I'm dealing with *the idea of something vs. its reality*, so I'm gonna play it like it is now just tell him how I feel that I'm not ready cos I'm not about lying about my feelings. And just see what happens next. But I can't believe he dropped the M BOMB on me! I'm floored, I know transit Jupiter is gonna be trine my natal Jupiter H4 same time transit Node is gonna be conj my Jupiter and I thought to myself looking at it earlier "wow girlie that looks like a big move" etc etc etc

Yes it IS a lot like last yr for me only completely differently *the way I wanted it to be* and now I get to make a choice. But I feel like I don't have to make that choice right quick since he's not going anywhere, but still, it's weighing on me. I've been putting my attention to other practical matters/changes I'm making to calm myself down, Saturn's going through my 4th now too.

I'll have to let this marinate for a bit then re-read the article.

Which sign is the one in which the YOD points? I want to decipher this in my natal chart, as my changes exploded into my life last week.


Thanks
