Aspects for the week beginning 25 December 2022
Capricorn Careers
This is the penultimate in a series in which I look at careers for the various zodiac signs. Maybe you have children or grandchildren born under the sign of Capricorn, and are looking at their potentials, or you are a Capricornian looking at re-training for a change of career. If you are Capricorn (in Sun or Ascendant sign) and have found an ideal or fulfilling career, please do share that under comments.
Politician
Capricorn and its House (10th) are associated with Politics, and people born under this sign often like to be in control, and follow rules.
Famous Examples: Nick Clegg, Richard Nixon, Alex Salmond, Andy Burnham, Anthony Scaramucci, Clement Atlee, Damian Green
Civil servant
Capricorns have the qualities you would wish for in a responsible civil servant: adherence to rules, integrity, administrative and organizational talent, upholding traditions, seriousness.
Medical Areas covered by Capricorn:
Geriatrician
Specialism within Medicine, as Capricorn’s planet Saturn rules old age, and Capricornians are often skilled at interacting with the elderly
Dermatologist
Specialism within Medicine, Capricorn’s planet Saturn rules the skin
Orthopaedics and Osteopathy
Specialism within Medicine, Capricorn’s planet Saturn rules the skeletal system
Dentist
Capricorn’s planet Saturn rules the teeth as well
Estate agent
Saturn also has rulership over property, and over the often slow and serious process of buying and selling homes. Capricorn patience is helpful here.
Mountaineer
One of the Earth signs, Capricorn rules Mountains, where Taurus rules flat plains and Virgo valleys. The famous symbol of the mountain goat for Capricorn climbs the craggy heights to get to the top.
Crystal Healer
Because of this Earth sign’s association with the long process of the formation of crystals and gemstones, Capricorns often have an affinity with rocks and gems, and can sometimes communicate with them, for the purposes of healing or acquiring wisdom.
Company Secretary
This is a highly responsible and serious role within a company, providing administrative support.
Other Professions:
Administrator/Executive/Project Manager
Capricorn itself is a sign known for its ambition, career-mindedness, and professionalism. Their process is often to rise slowly to the top of their profession, e.g. if a teacher, then they may rise to being a Headmaster or Ofsted Inspector.
Aspects
In the early hours of this Christmas morning, Mercury was sextile Neptune, a time of intense imagination. Children may have been too excited to sleep. Parents may have been listening out for their early alarm to put the turkey in the oven. I have heard of a lot of people suffering winter viruses. I was awake with ideas for the latest chapter of volume II of my trilogy. And, of course, Father Christmas had a busy night.
This aspect will assist you in refining your mindset and remaining mental clutter from the past year, which has been so difficult for some. Our minds will be able to receive higher guidance more easily today. Delicate conversations and channelling will also be made easier.
Fast forward to Wednesday (28th) and we have another sextile to Neptune, this time with Venus. This can bring soothing waves of serenity, which hopefully you may experience. People may come more into tune with each other. New artistic avenues may flourish.
Just in time to keep you on your toes for the New Year, Mercury is Stationary prior to turning Retrograde on Thursday (29th). Many of us may have teething troubles with new technology gadgets acquired at Christmas. But the three week Mercury Retrograde period is a helpful time for technological upgrades. You know the drill by now: practise mindfulness in your communications. The retrograde occurring in Capricorn suggests it is an appropriate time for planning career moves for the new year, setting goals, etc. Though for implementation wait until Mercury goes Direct again on 18th January. If health related, wait another couple of days, as the nurses are planning a strike on 18th and 19th January.
Thursday also gives us a conjunction of Mercury and Venus at 24 degrees Capricorn. This may soften the start of the retrograde, and bring some happy seasonal socializing, and great conversations. It fosters the celebratory mood through to the New Year, and supports eating, drinking and being merry.
Happy Christmas, Everyone!
The week in bullet points:
- Today – inspirational
- Wednesday – inspirational
- Thursday – communications tricky, but social life enjoyable

Dear Lana
The most interesting part of your blog was , for me, a mention of the latest chapter of Vol II of your trilogy. So it’s really happening???
AS for Capricorns- your description matches my favourite Capricorn pretty well 100% He’s been a round peg in a round hole.
Looking back over the aspects this week so far there’s been nothing to explain how immensely busy I’ve been and how many challenges I’ve faced – such as how to find a freezer big enough to hold eight boxes of 56 loaves of bread ready for breakfast club the new school term. Other challenges have been a car full of turkeys, mountains of cranberries and smoked salmon canapes . Oh the delights of the party food season but not so amusing when you multiply the surplus for one city, one county, the whole country. And all this in the time of food poverty. The challenge is to know what to do about it!
One thing I was hoping to see mentioned in your blog was the rare phenomenon of all the planets being visible together in the night sky. What does it mean for us all?
Happy Almost New Year everyone!

Dear Janet
Thanks very much for your comment!
‘Tis indeed true that Volume II of The Quiet Office is in the offing! I have just finished Chapter 4, and have painted cards for Chapters 1 – 3.
The busyness may be attributable to a transit to your natal chart! It is so good to hear that you are still doing that wonderful work.
As it happens so rarely, I would imagine such an alignment of planets is a positive and illuminating sign, but I’ve not been in a position to research the phenomenon directly. If I find an interesting interpretation somewhere, I will post it. But I just looked out and saw Jupiter at 0 degrees Aries close to the Moon at 5 degrees Aries, which is thrilling!
In the meantime, this Sunday I will be posting the customary review of the year and an outline of the main planetary features of 2023.
Happy New Year!
Love

Dear Lana
So glad to learn Vol II is in progress.
I wish I was able to recognise the individual planets in the sky as you did. And city light pollution doesnt help. I like to think this phenomenon heralded something positive.
