A new moon is a time when the moon is seen as a slim silver crescent in the sky, prior to this phase we have a dark moon where the moon is not visible to us here on Earth. New moon is a good phase and time for processing ideas and setting intentions which we wish to nurture into our big dreams and ideas which could shape our lives. This month’s new moon marks the end of the old Gregorian year and heralds in the new.

A partial solar eclipse is when the Moon travels in between the Earth and Sun. The Moon sits in perfect alignment with both and eclipses the Suns rays. This month's partial solar eclipse is an annular solar eclipse, which means that the moon will darken the Sun but not all of it will be obscured. The diameter of the moon is smaller than the Sun, thus leaving a ring of light around the eclipsed Sun. This eclipse will challenge how you deal with authority. The effects of the new moon partial Solar eclipse will last for up to six months.

Both Moon and Sun are in Capricorn so we can find the balance of inner personality and ego. We are being influenced by the aspects which Capricorn carries with it. This means we are encouraged to, tap into this cardinal signs attributes and to be aware of its pitfalls, to avoid going too far over from positive to negative. Capricorn is an action sign which likes to complete tasks. Capricorn energy is practical, disciplined, committed, ambitious and wise. The negatives to watch for are materialism, pessimism, stubbornness, detachment and moodiness. Much like other Cardinal signs, Earthy Capricorn is an action sign and heralds new beginnings and the ability to end and release that which no longer serves our purpose and path. This practical sign is ambitious and encourages us to amplify our thoughts and to think big. Experience is everything here, and Capricorn wants you to learn to know your limits by taking big actions! Capricorn is also very astute and cautious, requiring us to look at long term plans with a view to thorough research before taking any action. Find your balance within all of this information and try not to let any one thing become more overwhelming than the other.

Moon is conjunct Jupiter. Now this is the big influence of this new Moon. Jupiter is the planet of luck and expansion. So expect goodness to come from whatever you are aiming for. Expect doors to open in your career. Expect expansion in areas of your life that you have been working on, whether that be emotionally, practically, spiritually, financially. Jupiter is going to be a key player with this moon phase so watch out for this rising energy. Jupiter wants you to do more than you think you can because giving something a go means you know your limitations. In addition you can expect the offer of protection and confidence from this big planet’s energies, but be mindful of Jupiter’s qualities of taking things one step further. Watch for ‘over doing It’ in areas such as expenditure, eating, exercise and commitment.
