The Changing Times

Like weather patterns shifting due to changing pressures in search of equilibrium, the human atmosphere adjusts as well. Today a large planetary shift is starting with Jupiter traveling into Capricorn and the Moon's North Node entering Aquarius.
In one of the places I frequent, extensive (de)construction and alterations are going on, and the people are in a panic. It's quite amazing how afraid of sudden change so many humans are, yet at the same time they're dissatisfied with the status quo. "Will conditions be worse or better?" they wonder. There's no doubt that the process is unsettling. So many underpaintings in the human body to adapt.

Jupiter in Capricorn.
Jupiter inflates, the exact opposite of what happens in Saturn ruled Capricorn. Jupiter crosses, and the excess confronts the constricting movement right away with results to be established as the year-long transit progresses. Capricorn can squeeze the joy out of Jupiter, or Jupiter can expand the architectural talent of Capricorn, encapsulating the Jupiterian fire and using it for earthly accomplishment. Tackle the tasks, or be tackled. Or ignore it.

North Node in Aquarius.
Who are the architects of war? I don't think people really know. It's a mighty seed and the human mind is still programmed to attach to fear and pain, even when fact refutes the assumption that the world is primarily violent. One thing that seems to be causal is boundaries. Capricorn rules boundaries, Uranus moves beyond them. Coming up, insight is available describing how people can cross the lines without defending to death the arbitrary separations. It's been said that rulers create these lines artificially but left to their own devices, people would draw them anyway.

Some people are not bonded by family, sex, marriage, age, religion, geography, or any traditional glue. There's often a uniting of intelligence, and some sort of indefinable fellowship. Herein lie the seeds, I suppose, for overcoming the defensiveness that leads to perception of the same creature as predator.

Through the Capricorn years people might get a clearer understanding of borders and how to pass in and out. Travel with confidence. In many dimensions.

Many people express fear of being trapped in circumstance with no control. In some ways this is accurate, but within the whole, the individual's destiny can be hand molded, painted, and finished to his*her own specifications. As with all moments, good and bad happen concurrently and in infinite shades, values, and degrees. A lot of choice. In fact, a blend is usually what results, from what I've seen.
