With Mars in Capricorn, his personal sign of exaltation, as of 15 December, the stage is set for several Capricorn cruxes including oppositions to opportunistic Jupiter within the domestic bounds of Cancer. We’ll deal more with those aspects soon enough. What’s important about the current transit is good humor. As in, give yourself the gift of good humor this holiday season. Be amused by life’s comedic irony. It is generally within those ironic twists that epiphanies are located. Those epiphanies likely summon extra drive and determination to transform the hand dealt in life into more palatable circumstances. All this because early in the Mars in Capricorn transit, he aligns with the Solar Apex - the point toward which our Sun appears to move relative to the stars. Where is the Solar Apex? It’s complicated and depends upon how you observe the phenomena. Regardless, Mars exacerbates the Sun’s tendency to drift off into space while he bobs up and down over time. Good thing there’s gravitational influence courtesy of the Galactic Center, over which personal planets now transit before entering Capricorn’s funny bone spectrum.
Says Capricorn, the Solar Apex, and as agitated by Mars, if you can’t laugh at life, you’re taking it way too seriously. After all, you’re not going to get out of life alive! Is this to suggest that everything that happens is humorous? Not at all. Many circumstances seem hell bent on stirring annoyance and irritation. The key is to locate life’s ironies. You know, when pondering the meaning of life, a famous cemetery’s solicitor calls asking if you’d like to buy a plot as the location of your perpetual resting place. Perpetual? Not if you believe in reincarnation!
While busy with life, Solar Apex stimulation may induce tangential ranting about this and that, and this denotes that a person’s train jumped the track and they are now muddled in the surrounding terrain as they blast toward distant stars at unknown velocities with no emergency escape ramp - all because the Earth orbits the Sun and the Sun revolves about the Galactic Center while tugging to get free. It’s time to paint the sky the brightest blue possible - comedic blue.
As one ventures into the unknown deeper bounds of space, the sky turns indigo, then black, interrupted only by spectacular gaseous galactic displays, stars, comets (interstellar and otherwise) and probably some shimmering cosmic dust. It’s both dark and it’s not. This is akin to the mind over matter axiom: If it doesn’t matter, you don’t mind. If it matters, you mind. Regardless of the smattering of mattering, the celestial landscape is awe-inspiring.
Capricorn allegedly despises things that are off color. However, comedic insiders detect that the Capricorn sneer may be a disguised smile amused by the absolute absurdity of prevailing life conditions, especially those pointed out by Capricorn’s instinctive dry sense of humor and transits to the Solar Apex. Now it’s Mars engagement. Immediately after the solstice it’s the Sun’s turn to laugh it up on all matters related to ego, and then on or about Christmas, Venus takes her turn, putting economic matters in the goat’s eye, followed by Mercury as the new year begins.
What colors are on your humor palate? Those colors are the only ones that can be used to paint up the current scenario to your liking. You may ask if it is true that an infinite number of colors can be created in an electronic platform. Depends on whom you ask. If you’re going to go with custom colors be sure to record the six letter code for the color used. Then it’s safe to ask: How many colors of ribbon candy are displayed during the holidays? And oh yeah, what hues and shades would be considered off color?
What about shades of grey? How many are there really? 256 or can this be equally infinite? Some online sources report the human eye can discern about 500 shades of grey. AI reports that the eye can distinguish 150 - 250 shades. So which is it? How off color do things need to get before Capricorn shuns them?
But what about you and the parade of Mars, Sun, Venus and Mercury over the solar Apex well before next year’s oppositions to Jupiter? Here are useful tools for the Apex transits occurring within the next few weeks:
15 - 20 December, Mars
Make a list of everything annoying to you. Conduct an irony check. Decide how you can do things to mitigate the sting of reality, even if, especially if, generosity is required.
Remember that the distribution of life tasks are subject to the insights of the comic in the sky.
20 - 22 December, Sun
Reset your priorities and conduct a reality check for absurdity, feasibility and attainability.
Make a list of purely fantastical goals. Set those aside just for fun.
Create an agenda for where you apply your skills and talents and when you intend to do so.
26 - 28 December, Venus
Takes money to make money, right? Be smart and frugal with those things you think you need.
Review this past year’s purchase history for things that never were fully employed in life or even used once.
Work to shed cynicism.
Morph complaints into constructive feedback.
Redefine what you really need and convert luxuries such as massages into a necessity.
30 December - 1 January, Mercury
Reassess everything that happened this past year, especially those things you deem ridiculous.
Make up interesting, captivating, humorous narratives that capture the strange quirks of life and note their evidently unintended transformations.
Share those narratives at every opportunity.
Perhaps there’s a reason the song JINGLE BELLS contains the lyric: “laughing all the way,” as every year when the Sun enters Capricorn it does the good humor thing. If only we could remember where the one horse open sleigh (or flying saucer) was parked.
More soon!
In late January, my consultation services will increase in price. The great news is, you can book as many consultations as you want at the current rate, provided they are used within one year of the purchase date. Like fortifying the psychic pantry, you can stock up on sessions and use them as 2026 warrants! Of course you can order course materials to study as winter and summer advances, depending upon your hemisphere. And those Galactic Reports function very well as stocking stuffers.
