Elixirs Of Willful Change

On January 3, 2026 there had been a Full Moon in Cancer at 13 degrees.

It occurred @ 5:03 AM EST.

The Cardinal Full Moon in Cancer was a moment of culmination. A pinnacle moment accentuating issues concerning finding the balance of being in the world through our work and public life while connecting with the inner sanctum of the comforts of home and our personal world.

Keep in mind that home and the Cancer Full Moon also pertains to our bodies. Our bodies being the sacred temple of our very being.

Home is the sacred domain where we build systems and structures that support health and well being. Taking care of ourselves and those around us insures healthy embodiment as we continue on. Being at home with being ourselves.

It is a very significant truth that home is where the heart is. It is where we rejuvenate and revive ourselves in order to work and live in the world with grace, strength and confidence. This is why we must cultivate a society, a country, a nation, a world where everybody has a livable satisfactory home.

Capricorn/Cancer is a spirited Cardinal energy that energizes internal/external resources needed to provide stability and security.

During the Full Moon in Cancer on 1/3/2026 as the Moon was conjunct Jupiter retrograde, the meaning of the necessity of home was accentuated.

The Moon/Jupiter conjunction in Cancer had formed an opposition to the Capricorn Sun at 13 degrees.

The Capricorn Sun was held within a dynamic stellium of Mars at 14 degrees,Venus at 12 degrees and Mercury at 2 degrees Capricorn. Leadership and dominion over our lives in society and in relationships with others is emphasized.

However, these Capricorn configurations suggests coming up against challenges that we must keep on moving through.

At times utilizing the metaphorical imagery of pulling ourselves up from our bootstraps.

Compelling the use of willful determination to get through boulders of challenges. This is the joyful dance of Capricorn. The combination of these planets activated by Capricorn inspires the willful discipline to keep going.

Love, ambition and striving towards consistent commitment through dedicated persevering hard work is part of the equation. The Capricorn/Cancer dynamic motivates the goals of accomplishment that leads to assured success.

Nothing is guaranteed, but when we focus on doing good work it will definitely benefit us by giving us back something. It’s the pearl beyond price that emerges as manifested through the gifts of self esteem, honor and respect.

The big boon of this cycle is how it brings to bear the reality that through focus and discipline achievement of attaining long term goals is at hand.

Even when we find ourselves, at times, feeling bogged down by despair or futility, the Cancer/Capricorn dynamic reactivates our determination to keep going. Even just for the willful ambition of it.

Capricorn season is a turning point time of year. It’s a time to sort through our lives, to look back in order to move forward.

As Saturn, Capricorn’s ruling planet’s heavy handed demands get played out exacting from us what feels hard and heavy at times. We must keep going even through the cold darkness of despair.

Capricorn ruled by Saturn provides challenges that as we go through them points us towards the direction of our true destiny.

It is important to just face them and deal with whatever it is. To not let challenges discourage us. It’s the Universe asking us to accept responsibility, to practice discipline in order to evolve.

The Capricorn Stellium opposing Jupiter retrograde in Cancer is a time to seek congruence between ambition and reality as opposed to free flowing expansion and expectation.

To ask ourselves questions about our lives so as to be aware of what our true needs are. Our true needs as indicated by our feelings might not be congruent with our material goals. This is an auspicious time to come to terms with the truth of it. So to plan accordingly within your means.

It appears to be that we are in the midst of a wake up call. This is made clear through the level of dystopian devolution we are witness to. At least here in the U.S.

Clearly then, we must join with others as well as turn inward towards truths contained within our own being. To utilize this time to evaluate expansive plans on our own and with others. This is as suggested through the influence of Jupiter retrograde in Cancer.

This is a necessary time to understand what our impulsive urges as influenced by the Mars energy are. What are these urges telling us in terms of what we need?

It’s a time to recalibrate our connections to others through our personal relationships along with our relationship to finances, money and resources.

To rethink our plans based on our experience of what we understand as true knowledge of ourselves and the world. This is the time for us to measure our experience of reality against our assumptions and beliefs.

This is the moment to be mindful of these considerations even as we assess the hard work ahead. As we clarify the structures and new systems that are needed in order to continue on.

Ultimately, this is the time for spiritual growth and inner deep character building whose endpoint is to develop the beauty grace and harmony of inner strength. To evolve into embodied human beings.

During these times do check in with yourself. To become aware of what you are feeling. Utilizing whatever the feeling is as guidance. ♥️ Not as the judgement of the situation. Rather be with your feelings as guidance revealing to you insights about you and what your heart and soul are guiding you towards.

Neptune’s ingress to Aries occurs on 1/26/2026.

The Watery Pisces energy of Neptune moving on through the actively energized, courageous creative Fire of the 0 degree World Point of Aries. It’s a potent reset point that must see a commitment towards a life affirming new beginning. Carrying with it the conscious awareness of the holism of how interconnected we really are. This being the Neptune component.

Aries, ruled by Mars is traditionally understood to be a warring component. Aries does enjoy a good conflict to puzzle out of. However Aries is also the sign of new beginnings. The zero World degree Point opens up to a larger door of a new landscape that contains visionary ideals.

Neptune’s connection to higher consciousness has the capacity to teach humanity how to invite conflict as a source of mediation. To so engage in order to allow for something better and more aligned towards life to be born. Aries invites diversity and disagreements as a means of courageously learning new things. To thus fulfill its Libra opposition dynamic of balance, justice, peace and harmony.

To open the door to allow bright newborn Aries energy to light the way forward.

Neptune’s ingress to Aries occurs on 1/26/2026.

Saturn’s ingress to Aries occurs on 2/13/2026. Saturn’s connection to structures and systems under the auspices of metaphorical Father Time supports solidifying the courageous visionary ideas of Neptune at 0 degrees Aries into reality made manifest.

Saturn conjunct Neptune at 0 degrees Aries will be exact on 2/20/2026. Marking a new beginning towards a time of recalibration. It indicates a turning point.

What that will be shall depend on what each and every one of us as healthy embodied beings needs and wants our world to be.

I will write about this as the time draws near.

But I digress…..

When on 1/7/2026, Jupiter retrograde formed a trine to the Saturn/Neptune conjunction in Pisces.

Indicating that we are living in the midst of a rare and powerful moment that has the capacity to awaken. Yes, to awaken the woke, aware and embodied aliveness of humanity.

To expand our consciousness towards a healthy understanding that spirituality is experienced however each and every one of us embraces it. So to honor and respect whatever that might be. The phrase from the 1960’s was “as long as you don’t hurt anybody.”The Hippocratic Oath is, “Do No Harm.”

Could we be moving into a time where it’s becoming fashionable to command shameless acts of compassion in the form of untold beauty and random acts of kindness?

Perhaps we have only been in previews. Now it is time to bring this show to “town”. As more and more of us woke folks are amassing as the curtain rises on a little town called Planet Earth in the midst of a new beginning.

As we are in the foothills of the beginning of new understandings, there is for many of us the ability to open to hold visions of the world as we need it to be. The Saturn conjunction allows it to be interwoven courageously into tangible reality.

The psychology, philosophy and astrology of it indicates that it can only be woven together by respecting the need for reflection and authentic deep inner work that informs the way forward. This paves the way towards a cohesive interconnection of our communities. To be held together through the respectful setting of flexible healthy boundaries that supports life.

Through this dark moment we are living through we must comprehend the dire need to defend and abide by the laws that must serve to keep all people safe. We must light up the phones to our Congress people and demand this of them.

We all must hold near and dear the need for liberty and justice. This is the influence of Jupiter retrograde in Cancer trine to the Saturn/ Neptune conjunction in Pisces. Soon to ingress to Aries.

As we are in this moment of many shifts we do find ourselves in much shadow, darkness and danger. However it is true that only in the darkness can we see the light. So here we are. Quite dark, as the light of consciousness is being lit.

This is a powerful moment to reassert the intuitive wisdom contained in unspoken thoughts. Time for these thoughts and ideas to be acknowledged and to be spoken as awareness of the sanctity of all of life. To acknowledge the compassionate understanding that respects and honors all of life as a genuine sacred entity.

All this to say that this is a significant moment, a very interesting time to be alive, as we are in the foothills of the profound ingress of Neptune to 0 degrees Aries.

Neptune’s ingress to 0 degrees Aries has the capacity to shift us towards alignment with the intuitive, courageous components of our natures. This is the potential influence of the realm of the zero degrees Aries as a profound World Point. We are coming through a door out of the past into a whole new paradigm.

In a tumultuous time such as this where extrajudicial murdery chaos along with the contemptuous disregard of human decency and the rule of law is prevalent. I believe knowledge of these planetary configurations can be reassuring.

The inherent potential of the ingress of Neptune conjunct Saturn into Aries at 0 degrees indicates a fiery birth of something new.

The birth of something creative and life affirming.

Giving birth to new pathways where we the people get to decide what we want our governments, cities, states and countries to offer us as its citizens. To be based on the democratic input of collective thoughts, ideas and actions.

Aries is about identity. Aries is the Warrior inspired by the quest to find answers to the question, “Who am I,”.

Neptune at 0 degrees Aries brings to our consciousness the quest of the Spiritual Warrior seeking life. Loving the rich journey of trial and error rather than rigidly held judgmental assumptions.

Aries is expressed through bold, fiery energy. Aries people actively and courageously carve out their paths. To go where Angels fear to tread.

Neptune at 0 degrees Aries is the opening salvo towards a visionary leadership that supports logical sustainable life to flourish by and for we the people.

We are seeding the ground for inspired actions that supports building the new systems and structures. Systems and structures that realistically address the issues at hand. Albeit even in the midst of madness, cruelty and insanity. The transition from late Pisces to 0 degrees Aries is fraught with danger.

Astrologer and author Daniel Fiverson reminds us of the influence of Eris. How her influence is about strength and wisdom gained in dark places. She has the courage to go deep into it only to emerge with wisdom. So here we are with Eris to join forces with our inner wisdom and courage as a collective working through this place of darkness. The intertwining of Eris and Aries reminds us to willfully arise, whole and ready to keep going.

Moving forward towards the total conjunction of Saturn joining Neptune’s ingress to 0 degrees on 2/20/2026 can light the way.

This 0 degrees Aries conjunction is a powerful growth spurt towards life.

These two powerful planets weaving visionary ideals into realistic systems.Weaving into the collective consciousness brave new ways to move forward towards a paradigm that respects, honors and supports all of life.

To bring us out of the dark moment we are living through by energizing us with the grace, strength and clarity needed to release irrelevant outmoded paradigms.

Imbuing us with the intuitive and logical capacity to begin to solidify how to become empowered even in the midst of destructive and defunct paradigms.

To remind us that when we are fully present in the power of now, we are steeped in authenticity that invites us to acknowledge the joy of life. To remember that indeed we are human beings who must demand that our elected officials must uphold laws that honor and respect all of humanity.

Time to embody the true meaning of life, liberty and justice for all, again…..

Out of the Watery yet compassionate visionary energy of Neptune in Pisces, Neptune’s ingress to Aries lights the flames of hope towards life.

Through processing the dark and foggy years of the transit of Neptune in Pisces we are here to experience the fiery spiritual Warrior energy of Neptune in Aries at 0 degrees.

These planetary shifts begin to manifest as components of an inner felt sense of how to be a human that dignifies the value of true humanity.
