 Context examples 


If you were born at the end of Capricorn, January 15 to January 20, Saturn will now work directly with you. (If you were born any time before January 15, you have already put in your time with Saturn, so now you can rest.) This last part of Saturn’s visit is usually the easiest, for you have already had so much experience with Saturn in Capricorn and have become used to Saturn’s expectations of you.

To top this off, the Sun will move through Capricorn from December 21 until January 20, and within that time, you have a darling new moon eclipse in Capricorn on December 25 (US) or December 26, depending on your time zone.

(AstrologyZone.com, by Susan Miller)

This new moon will give you a sense of more control, and if you’ve been feeling out of sorts, the Sun’s earlier move into your sign, on January 20 until February 18, will bring your strength and optimism back in full force.

(AstrologyZone.com, by Susan Miller)

Jupiter will join Pluto (power), Saturn (long-term gain), Venus (happiness and luxury), and the mighty Sun in your eighth house, and all will stay through 2020 (except for Venus, which will leave December 19, and the Sun, January 20).
