Transit Watch: Solar Eclipse New Moon In Capricorn: January 4, 2011 – Pressure, Defense And Your Grown Up Pants
My eye on the sky
This potent eclipse that will not go unnoticed. The Sun and Moon at 13 degrees Capricorn fall at the approximate midpoint between Mars and Pluto in sign while squaring Saturn in Libra.
In short, get your conservative, grown-up pants on because anything else will be subject to scorn under a sky like this.
There is some danger of violence here as the combination of Mars, Saturn and Pluto spells, “cruelty”. If this eclipse aspects your chart as it does mine, pay particular attention.
The eclipse occurs very early in the morning on the 4th which means it’s coming in on the 3rd. People are bound to feel greatly pressured and this can be relieved by pushing back.
I am talking about having a defense. Someone pushes you and you either push back or be oppressed if not crushed.
On the upside, anyone who can mind Saturn principles should fare very well. Class, boundaries, shoulder to the wheel and most definitely don’t shirk your responsibility to others. Libra also pays well. Grace, fairness, manners and the like.
To boil it down, be nice at work.
Where does the eclipse fall in your chart? Set your intention.

They will be in my 2nd house, squaring my Aries Sun and Venus. I better hide my money and sharpen my knives.
Right on top of my 5th house Mercury…glad I have a few days to think/plan.
Oh I didnt know about this eclipse. Thank you!
It will be in my 11th house
Eclipse in 2nd house, will be squaring my Moon..*sigh*
Thinking maybe I ought to look out and remember not to get my feelings hurt..
5th House, opposing my 10th house Jupiter. That works! That is my first day of on the job training in my new merchandising gig that pays more than I could ever make an hour up here, plus drive time pay *and* mileage!
lol…bet your ass I’ll be on my best Saturn behavior! I’ve got a lot of experience with that, having lived my whole life with Saturn opp. Uranus!
it will be in 3rd house opposite natal saturn. I may be starting a new job that day. not the job i want but i will try to use it as a stepping stone
Good luck to you, toomuch! I hope it works out exactly as you wish!
it will hit my natal mars in capricorn in the 1st house at an exact conjunction at 13 degrees. um… yikes or yay?? not sure if this spells trouble, or if it means i will finally be getting the perfect amount of oomph to turn me into the undeniably desirable badass i was always meant to be!! 
In the 6th conjunct my descendant. I will definitely be CYA at work next week…
Fourth house. Lots of housing issues going on right now, hope things don’t get worse. Also, staying out of my mother’s line of fire…
Oh great, phone interview with EDD that morning….12th house…..shoot me now?
Sun, Moon, Mars & Pluto will all conjunct natal moon in 1st house x_x
::singing:: I feel the earth move under my feet! I feel the sky tumbling down!
thank you Kristine
@spacerocz, this will be conjunct my Natal Moon too. 5th house for me. I’ve had this strange feeling lately of something big, life altering coming my way soon. Maybe even a pregnancy ? SO and I aren’t really trying, but that certainly wouldn’t be unwelcome.
@Candela after reading some info on the transits it seems all that activity could be good for me! I’ve been feeling the same way, like something big is about to happen (hitting the lotto?! lol) Maybe I’ll finally get an opportunity to take the next step in life -I really want to move out, but we’ll see what happens… I hope you get some good news/positive events in your realm 2!! 
Ok, so I am not alone in feeling like something is going to come, big, and out of the blue? Life has just felt like that time before birth, when the child gets quiet, starts to pull its energy in in preparation for what is next.
Hey, isn’t that my lottery ticket?!
Sorry my bad english
Exactily in my asc squaring Saturn (10 House) Pluto squaring the moon lIBRA and progressed Moon the 13 degrees of Cancer!
The only good thing is Jupiter/Urano and Venus in aspect my sun/Mercury escorpion. I doN´T n know my intention. I want to be in the bed! All my life moved… Mother died, husband lost de job In 2011 behind my house… Will have a big construct building
I want die……………………………….or,to kill LOL
Is your orb for an eclipse conjuncting anything the same as a planet conjuncting anything(10 degrees)?
And do you count or notice midpoints?
Because if so, ouch.
oh, gosh, that hits up most of my chart. should be interesting.
forewarned is forarmed, i guess.
It’s in my empty 9th hse but squares my Pluto, quincunx’s my Saturn, Sun & Jupiter & trines my Moon-also activating my Yod & T-Square.
I have a court date for my disability case on the 6th so I’m hoping this won’t mess that up too much….and I’m also hoping for some good, fast luck from the Jupiter/Uranus conj (in my 12th) as well!!!!
The last time they kissed each other back in June, I was granted SS disability, which I was told by everyone I def wouldn’t get!! So, I guess I beat the odds that time:-)
I just looked, and it’s just gonna miss hitting my T square in Cancer-Libra-Cap – but it’s gonna square up my Chiron in Aries, which could be interesting.
It’s in my fifth house, as far as I can tell it is not aspecting anything in my chart…..thank-you Jesus!
6th house conjunct with my mars. I will try hard to play nice.
7th house exACTly conjunct my cap venus/jupiter. I am scurred. I can feel some self-generated pressure already… must remember to push back and not run away.
Oh hells bells… In 8th like everything else lately.
I had only noticed the poss aspects.. It sextiles my 11th house sun and trines my 12 house mars.. so duh that it would square the other leg of my yod uranus in libra with saturn sittin on it.
……
But then maybe it gives me another way to come at that neptune/saturn influence in my chart?
Maybe a possitive activation? Taking grounded action(mars in taurus) though intermitinly (inconj) to work through/disapear (neptune;pisces sun) the fear, in a balanced manner(Saturn in libra) with energy or in a surprising way (My natal uranus)
Hmmm what do ya think?
Mine will be in 10th house…exactly on top of my Venus…
@ruth once my debts are paid and I get my dream house boat you can keep the rest!! lol
OK, This will land right on my IC/Mars, lighting up my water house Grand Trine to Moon in the 8th, Pluto/Uranus in the 12th.
I’ll work hard to be a nice mom, watch the kids don’t tear into each other, and I don’t tear into them…. What I’m hoping for is that this will bouy my business presence in the community.
Thank-you Elsa!
Wow…this one falls EXACTLY on top of my natal Jupiter Rx in my 5th house. Should I be scared? What should I expect with this? Actually, I have quite a pile up of transits through my 5th at the moment…
It hits my Saturn in the 9th (12*Cancer). I’ve been pushing back as gracefully as I can. I don’t want to push anymore – I want it to be over – but I will if I have to.
Hmmmmmmm- interesting eclipse for me. My constant battle – Libra sun/Cap asc square battle. It is w/in 3 degrees of my Cap Asc. I am still learning astrology, but looks like it will actually be in my 12th house squaring my Libra Sun in the 9th. Wonder what secrets will come out. Hopefully, Libra will help me place nice at work as I am at the last straw with a certain person!
I should add – I have one heck of cluster transiting my Cap ascendent
True Node
Pluto
Sun
Moon
Mars
Maybe that it is why I can’t sleep!
This is serious folks! I’m getting my grown up pants dry cleaned first. Libra says to wear my Nice pants…Cap says black will do.
I have a heck of a natal cluster in Cap, Ninth House, blocked/illuminated by the eclipse:
Mars 1 deg Cap
Merc 1 deg Cap
Venus 8 deg Cap
South node 11 Deg Cap (I have been here before?)
Part of Fortune 16 Cap (and I like it)
and of course Pluto and Mars already transitting in there.
Time to grow up and get serious about my higher ed
and be nice about it:)
My Earth trine loves the hard work ahead (ugh), yet these will all be squared by the Aries stellium in April. ouch 
I’ve just found out that a recent action of mine – defending myself over something that is just so stupid, but hurtful at the same time (because of the consequences of what I’d been targeted for) – inadvertently hurt one of the people who started the whole mess, and shut me out, “mean girl” style. (I’m in my mid-thirties, and can’t believe that I’m having to deal with this crap.)
I didn’t mean to hurt her, which is ironic, considering she seemingly had no problem hurting me. I’ve always felt that responsibility to others.
Oh, and this will happen in my 3rd house. Any more drama from this stupidity, and I might croak – I will definitely scream. I’m already pissed that it cut into a good chunk of my December.
Thank you, Elsa, love your blog! Happy New Year!
We HAVE to get a new washer and dryer tomorrow – hope it’s good to purchase big items on an eclipse.
The eclipse conjuncts my Mercury which means it sets off one or both the Libra Chiron/Jupiter and their four T-squares with my Mars/Saturn … I guess I’ll also get a trine from my Moon to compensate
I’m going out for the first time – socially! – in three weeks, tomorrow, so I’ll try not to drink too much.
