On December 30th at 2:27 PM PST we have a New Moon in Capricorn. The Sun and Moon align at 9 degrees 44 minutes; and this year there are no aspects to them!
This is the last lunation cycle for 2024, and well worth celebrating! Capricorn is a Cardinal Earth sign; cardinal as it begins the Winter season, and is the last Earth sign of the solar year. When the Sun and Moon share this sign, it is time to look at your career, your reputation, and what direction your life is headed in your profession. The bonus this sign brings us all is our attention to our performance in whatever we do. We have choices to make here; just who do you really want to be?
This Earth Sign is all about climbing the mountain of success. The glyph for Capricorn is the SeaGoat; able to navigate both the material and emotional realms. This sign is concerned with security and is very ambitious. Making sure they have enough money, resources, and energy to continue on their path is paramount. Saturn rules Capricorn, making this sign the Elder of the Zodiac. Wise beyond their years, Capricorns are trustworthy and have an untamed spirit. We all benefit from taking a second look at how we are participating in our world when this New Moon arrives. It is time to set up a plan for our future, to take a serious look at where we are and where we wish to be.
The planets that are in relationship with others at this time are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus. Let’s begin with Mercury at 18 degrees Sagittarius. There is a T-Square between Mercury, Jupiter at 13 degrees Gemini, and Saturn at 14 degrees Pisces. In this aspect, the planet to look to for direction is Saturn in Pisces. Overcoming feelings of fear, guilt, anxiety, loneliness, or oversensitivity is an important task for you now. The opportunity for success is thwarted when these feelings get in the way. It is time to deal with the source of your disposition and clean house;)  You may feel an inner conflict between idealism, hope, and faith in the future versus doubt and oppression by limitations and practical realities. You need to develop discipline and patience in order to achieve your aspirations.You will grow by learning to accept frustration and to persevere in spite of obstacles.
Venus at 26 degrees Aquarius is square Uranus at 23 degrees Taurus. Venus speaks to our self-worth and values: what we value and deem worthy in ourselves and others. Uranus is the planet of revolution. It brings change — often in an unexpected and jarring way. It bucks tradition. It throws off the status quo. The theme here is freedom, and the friction between these two planets can help us to consider whether or not we are in the right place doing the right thing.
Next let’s look at Mars at 2 degrees Leo Retrograde. When Mars is retrograde, which it will be from Dec. 6, 2024 to Feb. 23, 2025, it is requiring us to recalibrate our energy, reflect on our sex life, drive, and anger, and take stock of our passions and ambitions. If it feels like this is a big deal kind of astrological transit, that's because it is. The planet of action, energy, sex, and aggression hasn't been retrograde since early 2023. Now this planet is trine Neptune and opposite Pluto! The trine from Neptune is here to help at 27 degrees Pisces. You can dream up creative solutions to problems and take an imaginative, unusual approach to getting a job done. When difficulties arise you will prefer to avoid conflict and confrontation in favor of more peaceful or subtle methods of resolving problems. Working to help others or for a cause that transcends your own narrow, personal interests will be satisfying for you. But the opposition between Mars and Pluto at 1 degree Aquarius will instill a powerful will, and when you want something, you will pursue it passionately and relentlessly until you achieve it. You may be so driven by your desire that you lose all objectivity. Watch out for becoming compulsive, or even obsessed, with doing or achieving something, no matter what the costs or how hard you must work for it. You will have enormous energy reserves, and be capable of extraordinary effort and great achievement if you use your energies for constructive purposes.
And finally, Jupiter in Gemini Retrograde is square Saturn at 14 degrees Pisces. When Jupiter is retrograde, which it has been since October 9th, 2024 and will continue through February 4th, 2025; it’s time to slow down, and not rush into new ventures. To reassess past decisions, question beliefs, and challenge paths taken. Use your inner wisdom to make necessary adjustments to your life path. The square from Saturn demands discipline and patience in order to do the right thing.
So, set your goals up with these insights. Choose the right path for your future and dedicate yourself to researching the best way to move forward. For you are the driver on your path to the goals you set.
