This 2020 year has kicked itself off with energy that is simply unmatchable. We have been waiting a long long long time for things to finally go well for Capricorn. Granted some Capricorn's are still going to find themselves at a loss simply because not everyone will choose to put their best hoof forward. Some Capricorn's will feel like they 'deserve' to be further ahead but maybe haven't done much to facilitate that process. Complaining and being negative about what you do not yet have will not do it. The Universe wants to see one hoof in front of the other. The Billy goat doesn't get to the top of the mountain by way of a helicopter, the Billy goat gets there by placing its hoof one in front of the other, one hoof at a time. The Billy goat has always had the ability to leap to the next level, but alas, he takes one step at a time. But ya' see, that's the Billy goats choice.

HERE IS AN EXAMPLE -- I have been in my Saturn Return in Capricorn since December 19, 2017 when Saturn first entered Capricorn. I happen to have Saturn in Capricorn in my natal chart, and since Saturn has 'returned' to the sign it was in when I was born, then that means I am in my Saturn Return. I could easily sit around and bitch and complain about how Saturn does me wrong, or I can take Saturn seriously and put my nose to the grindstone and do the work. In January 2018 (one month after my Saturn Return began) I entered my first yoga teacher training and finished in May 2018. While Saturn was still in Capricorn in 2019 I entered my second yoga teacher training in March 2019 and finished in September 2019. In August 2019 I opened my own yoga studio. Saturn requires us to be self-disciplined or he will become the disciplinarian himself and take off his belt of rings and swat our ass hard. Yoga takes a lot of self-discipline. While some may not think 'I should have' or 'could have' opened my own yoga studio so soon after completing training because I had not been teaching as long as some yoga teachers, the Truth is, I did the work, and I get to do with my training as I please. What I am trying to tell you is I took my Billy goat Capricorn energy, which was my natal Moon in Capricorn and Saturn in Capricorn (during my Saturn Return) and started leaping up the mountain because I know Billy goats can leap and I don't have to climb the ladder one rung at a time. I don't have to take the stairs one step at a time. What I have to do is put one hoof in front of the other and skip a few stairs in the process. Haven't you ever skipped a few stairs going up? Of course you have and that was using your Capricorn leap. While some might take several years to do what I did, I did it in two (2) years. Do not get me wrong here . . . I do not share this information to be braggadocious or get a pat on the back, what I'm trying to tell you is working the energy is real and you will be rewarded if you do the work and work the energy involved. Saturn wants you exhausted from the work. I have had a tough Saturn Return, but I also had some say-so in just how 'tough' I wanted it to be. I chose the 'Good' tough instead of the 'bad' tough.

My Saturn Return this time around reminds me of when I had my daughter. Her birth was pretty dang easy. And I mean easy. I ran 6 miles a day up until I was 7-1/2 months pregnant and then did my running on a small trampoline. I was doing the work to 'prayerfully' have an easy childbirth. I worked out every single day. Turns out my labor was a piece of cake. I don't know why I didn't just go without an epidural (guess I was chicken). Anyway, I had the epidural and when it came time to push I wasn't really pushing that hard. The doctor barked real stern at me, "If you don't start pushing I'll let that damn epidural wear off and you will know to push!" MAN OH MAN! I was an astrologer at 20 years old and I knew that was a Saturn bark if I ever heard one. I pushed and poof I was a mama.

Since January 11, 2019 (right at a year ago) I have been reminding you of Saturn conjunct Pluto. While this aspect is exact today, it has been in applying degrees since December 21, 2018 (yes, I said 2018), it is exact today, and will last in separating degrees until January 31, 2021 over a year from now.

So I'm just saying, this energy of Capricorn. This energy of Mercury conjunct Saturn, Mercury conjunct Pluto and Saturn conjunct Pluto, not to mention the full blown Stellium in Capricorn with the Sun in Capricorn, Jupiter in Capricorn and the South Node in Capricorn can serve you well, or it will kick your ass because you aren't doing the work. That South Node in Capricorn is still present and there will be some people who will walk right into that hole. They won't listen, they won't take advice or they just might be lazy because they don't want to do the work. The real work is exhausting. It's not a job, IT'S WORK!

THE MORAL OF THIS STORY --- WORK! Work until you fall over! Work until you are exhausted. Saturn will reward you. Jupiter is in Capricorn from December 3, 2019 until December 19, 2020. Saturn is in Capricorn from December 19, 2017 until March 21, 2020 where it will then move into Aquarius from March 21, 2020 until July 1, 2020 where Saturn will then Retrograde back into Capricorn from July 1, 2020 until December 16, 2020 and then it will move back into Aquarius for those of you in your Saturn Return in Aquarius. The South Node in Capricorn will finally change signs on May 5, 2020 where it will then move into Sagittarius.
