Capricorn Queen: Patti Smith
I believe that we, that this planet, hasn’t seen its Golden Age. Everybody says its finished … art’s finished, rock and roll is dead, God is dead. Fuck that! This is my chance in the world. I didn’t live back there in Mesopotamia, I wasn’t there in the Garden of Eden, I wasn’t there with Emperor Han, I’m right here right now and I want now to be the Golden Age …if only each generation would realise that the time for greatness is right now when they’re alive … the time to flower is now.
Patti Smith
We’re officially in the New Moon in Capricorn cycle now with the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Pluto and Lilith all sitting in the “reality check” sign of Capricorn. Boundaries abound. “You should learn when to go. You should learn how to say no” as one of our Cancer Queens, Courtney Love sings in “Violet” is an excellent way for understanding the power of standing your ground and not wasting time on anyone or anything that doesn’t share your integrity and commitment level. What do you want to build over the next six months. This Capricorn Moon with Venus has some serious staying power. Venus moves into Aquarius on Wednesday night so mid-week our energies start to shift towards our long-term goals, wishes and group alliances. Friendships take on a higher priority. We cannot get where we are going without the help of our true friends. There’s another saying, “don’t ever make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option.” -Maya Angelou
You get the idea of this New Moon. Time is limited. Time is precious. Honor yourself and your commitments. Saturn is featuring large in the sky all year long.
