PRIVATE SOLAR ECLIPSE ON JANUARY 6, 2019

On the morning of January 6, a partial solar eclipse awaits us. The peak of the eclipse will occur at 3:28 am Kyiv time (1:28 am GMT). This solar eclipse takes place in Capricorn, opening opportunities related to professional and career growth, working through karmic tasks, and releasing all excess from our lives. Those most strongly affected will be individuals with prominent cardinal signs (Capricorn, Aries, Cancer, and Libra) and those whose personal horoscopes have planets or house cusps conjunct the eclipse point. To ease the passage through this eclipse period, it is advisable to refrain from any kind of excess—particularly in food, work, emotional stress, and communication. The Capricorn eclipse only emphasizes this need. You may take on a temporary ascetic practice (for at least 3 days or 2 weeks)—abstaining from a certain food or harmful habit. At minimum, this will improve your physical well-being. Most of us will be asleep during the eclipse itself, so pay attention to your dreams, or, if you cannot sleep (which is quite possible for sensitive individuals), to persistent thoughts. These will point to your personal theme being activated by this eclipse. The eclipse occurs near the South Node, indicating its connection with the past, with farewells and the pursuit of new horizons. Additionally, the eclipse point lies between Pluto and Saturn in the sign of Saturn’s domicile, further emphasizing the theme of reviewing past experiences and clearing space for new opportunities on both personal and collective levels. We will need to step out of our comfort zones to move forward rather than going in circles. The results of this work will become tangible in the material world. Therefore, pay attention to opportunities opening up in your professional life. It is important that these be serious changes—avoid risks and reckless ventures. Choose what, in perspective, supports both your professional mastery and career advancement. Set clear goals and expect concrete results. It is quite possible that you will need to let go of something you once valued. But look at the situation realistically, without excessive attachment to possessions or titles—if you see in the emerging opportunities not immediate gain but genuine growth potential, then act decisively. This eclipse on January 6 offers a chance to resolve our karmic tasks. Be attentive to situations that repeat across generations or carry a fateful character. These may involve family patterns or issues connected with groups and communities you belong to. On a broader scale, this may manifest in societal events. During the eclipse itself, these matters may only begin to surface; their full unfolding and processing will occur much later, playing out in the lives of many individuals and even entire generations. However, if we approach these issues consciously and responsibly, we can effectively clear our space of the consequences of past events. During this period, chronic illnesses may intensify, panic fears and general anxiety may increase. These reflect our personal limitations in body, emotions, and mind that hinder progress toward our goals. If we become aware of the causes behind what is happening on all levels, we can minimize the destructive impact of being forcibly uprooted by external circumstances. Letting go of attachments and fears frees up tremendous energy. An influx of strength during this time may indicate that you are moving in the right direction. We wish everyone clarity and a broad perspective!
