January 8, 2024

It’s Monday, January 8th, and tonight’s crescent Moon is waning. With only 9% of illumination, with should see a thin slice in the heavens this evening. 

The first Moon phase of 2024 begins on January 11th (111), with a new moon in the astrological sign, Capricorn. The new moon in Capricorn reminds us of the balance that’s needed between our emotional side (moon) and how we respond or react (moon). Capricorn is a pragmatic sign that rewards through consistency and hard work. If we aren’t in control of our emotions, then we cannot carry out the pragmatic approach Capricorn requires. 


This afternoon at exactly 12 o’clock, the Sun on the 17th degree of Capricorn in the 10th House (Career/Public Reputation) was in trine 🔺 with Uranus on the 19th degree of Taurus in the 1st House (Self). With the Sun and Uranus in trine, their relationship is lucky, positive, and productive. 

The connection here is between the 1st House, which represents you, and the 10th House issues of career and reputation. The work we chose to do, how we earn our money, and what we do for a living is directly connected to how we see ourselves and how we present ourselves to the public. 

With Uranus involved, there’s a much needed transformation coming in those areas. The Sun represents a lot of things, but one of the most important is human will. If you’ve been grounded (Earth) and pragmatic (Capricorn) in your approach to 10th House issues, then the higher octaves of Uranus will take us to the next level. With Uranus in Taurus, persistence is the key, and if you’ve been persistent, then it’s payoff time. 

If you’ve been doing the work, then you can expect from this alignment, to see a breakthrough in the 10th House as it relates to your 1st House. 

What does this mean? 

Maybe it’s a promotion. Maybe it’s a job change, but not just any job change. It might be a change that removes you from an ordinary job, and puts you in a position you’ve always wanted. This change could be from ordinary job to a real career, and there’s a difference between taking any job, and being hired to do something you’ve always to do.

With Uranus involved, this energy is transformational! It’s life changing. Suddenly, the opinions you have of yourself are changed, which will without a doubt change the opinions people have of you. Suddenly, the people around you respect and admire you. Having the right career can do this. 

When it comes to the connection between self and career, you can expect new opportunities that have the power to change your life. Capricorn is patient, it’s about taking little steps until an opportunity presents itself, and no one in the zodiac is better than Capricorn when it comes to seizing the moment.

A Nodal Nightmare?

For those who aren’t familiar and/or disconnected from astrology circles, I just saw the Dragon’s Tail is not only in the 1st House, but in Scorpio as well!

Most of us are familiar with the Moon-we know it orbits the Earth. As it orbits our planet, is does so on an angle. The Moon has two nodal points, the north node and the south node.

The Moon’s nodes mark the point where the Moon’s orbit crosses the Sun’s path on the ecliptic. I call them X-points, but;

The north node represents the point at which the Moon ascends in its orbit, and the south node is the point where the Moon descends in its orbit. North node=going up. South node=going down.

The ancients envisioned a dragon in the heavens, and they named the north node, Caput Draconis, which is Latin for Dragon’s Head, and the south node, Cauda Draconis, which is Latin for Dragon’s Tail.

Geomancers will throw out a chart and end a personal reading if the Dragon’s Tail, or south node happens to fall in the first house. They say it’s ill-fated and terribly unlucky. And they might be on to something.

After conducting my own research, I found the Moon’s south node in the 1st house on April 4, 1968, in the assassination chart of MLK. Coincidental? I don’t know, but there was an article published online today on the site, The Conversation, that said the Earth’s magnetic field could be disturbed today by solar flares.

This is all so interesting to me-considering tomorrow is July 22nd. Remember when I published that article about July 22nd? I didn’t make any predictions, but I said to myself, let me share with my readers what lined up for me on the 22nd just in case something strange happens like a resurrection or a rapture. LOL, hey, I didn’t want anyone saying, “You could’ve saved us but you didn’t say anything.” So I did. I told you about how the Fibonacci numbers lined up with certain days on the calendar, and how those days could be important from a biblical perspective.

The crazy thing is that Scorpio, the sign the south node is in currently, is the sign of death, birth, rebirth, resurrection, and transformation. I had no idea this was going to line up this way because I was focusing on the location of MakeMake.

The 1st house is the house of self, and Scorpio is the sign of death and resurrection! Incredible. Keep your eyes open-LOL-for the rest of the night, tomorrow, and tomorrow night too.
