Capricorn is known for being in control, their seriousness and taking responsibility, and persevering in difficult circumstances. Typically Capricorn struggles and overcomes great adversity in early life, building character, as they say. But the sign matures well, and things tend to ease the 2nd half of life as Capricorn comes into their own, generally proving themselves to be formidable people with integrity who no longer discounted.

And it’s not that going out for a hack is wrong or bad, I certainly don’t view it as that; it’s just that there’s something about the dressage, being put through your paces, that makes you better.

The Sun is in hard aspect to both Uranus and Pluto today and I don’t think he likes it. The Sun wants to shine! How are you supposed to shine when you’re being dragged to the Underworld?

It reminds me of Miss USA being booed in Mexico. Because apparently they were booing her as a form of rebellion (Uranus) and throwing the collective shadow onto her (Pluto) while they were at it. Can you imagine? Train all your life for the contest and this happens?

Meanwhile the Moon in Taurus forms a T-square with the Saturn Neptune opposition while Mercury and Uranus station and of you put this all together what you have is stress.

Days like today I use the Muhammad Ali’s, “Rope a Dope” strategy. I mean what should Miss USA have done? Pulled out her weapon and fought that crowd?

I heard from Maddalena of heliocentric-astrology.com today. She’s a building something over there with a very special feel. I like her understated writing style. Actually, I like her! This after just a couple brief emails and a spin around her site. So here’s some of what appeals to me.

She wrote about Muhammed Ali, calling him “the most famous boxing world champion of all times…” I agree with her on that and liked that she tipped her hat – acknowledged this man who entertained the hell out of us, while he kicked ass and stood up for what he believed.

Then I clicked her bit on the aspects (and houses in her system) and thought the writing very strong. She writes with command and clarity but you can still tell she’s a girl. She’s got a mom gene or something. Because she’s trying (successfully) to help you understand. You can feel the caring in her writing and this is a hell of a trick.

And then I clicked the planet link. And if you do same, you will see how she does not waste words. She offers delineation that simple and consequently elegant. And this is the kind of stuff that really helps a beginner.

I mean, I’m over here blathering and if you read, you will absorb. But at some point, you’re going to want a cheat sheet, and this is damned good one. And she has managed to be both succinct and accurate which I can tell you is a major chore and challenge. So I have to think it’s a labor of love. And what she’s got here is something you can print and put on your fridge if you’re studying. Let it go into your head when you’re not looking.

I also like her name too, don’t you? So check out Heliocentric (Sun-centered) Astrology! Here!
