ASTRO NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN
DECEMBER 30/12/24 @ 22: 26 GMT
All Hail & welcome to the final cosmic journey of 2024! We have a New Moon in Capricorn the sea goat, the half goat, half fish constellation which helps us to climb high for a new, bigger perspective & dive deep to find our soul purpose in life.
We will need to harness some of the energies of the sign of the sea goat who can climb mountains to gain a higher perspective & dive deep into the oceans of the mind.
Capricornus, means “the goat” in Latin. The constellation represents a sea goat, a mythical creature associated with the god Enki in Babylonian mythology, later syncretised with the Greek deity Pan. The constellation is represented by the symbol ♑. Capricornus dates back to myth from the 21st century BCE, originating from Babylonians & Sumerian texts. Both Babylonians & Sumerians called the constellation the goat-fish. During the early Bronze Age, Capricornus marked the winter solstice. In modern astrology, Capricorn still begins on the first day of astronomical winter/ Winter Solstice, for those in the Northern hemisphere. The Greeks associated the constellation with the forest deity Pan, who had the legs & horns of a goat. Pan was honourably placed in the sky by a grateful Zeus because Pan had come to the rescue of the God’s during several critical events. In reference to the myth, the astrological Capricornus is still often depicted as a goat with the tail of a fish.
In addition, this moon is also known as a 'black' moon indicating a 2nd new moon in a month. Sagittarius new moon was on 1 December & Capricorn new moon is 30th December
New Moon is a time for setting our intentions within a new phasing of our beautiful celestial satellite. New Moon phase signals the ending of one cycle & the beginning of another moon phasing in a different astrological sign. This month we end the Sagittarius cycle & begin the Capricorn cycle. The energies of Capricorn reflect cardinal earth energies which we can harness to create & visualise our intended manifestations for the future we so desire. This is s good time for those who set annual intentions, to do just that.
At New Moon, the Sun & Moon align in the same sign, conjunct. As this is the last lunar phenomenon of the year, sitting nicely in the sign of goal oriented Capricorn, this lunation indicates a time of goal setting & deep seeking into what we wish to harvest later on this year. As a cardinal sign, Capricorn likes to get things going. By setting our intentions for what we wish to manifest, creating attainable goals that will open up a pathway leading to those desires, we will be in full Capricorn mode. First the idea, we play with it until we can visualise it. Then we use our powers of foresight to envisage the pathway which takes us there, by setting goals that will lead us step by step toward that end. We must put the work in to reach the goals that lead us to where we wish to be. Finally, we can visualise ourselves in our new lives with our manifested intentions, living that life. All along this route we must live the life we desire by doing the work to becoming that wonderful new version of ourselves. It is in the doing & becoming that we find ourselves acting our lives out in the way we have intended. A vision board is always a great way to envisage & begin the year.
Focus is the general tool which helps us to decide which adventures we will embark on this year. Using tenacity, being resourceful & staying disciplined are also Capricorn qualities which are very useful for attaining our goals. In addition, Capricorn asks us to embody ambition, foresight, conscientiousness & our inner wisdom. All play a part in harmonising Capricorns’ offerings to us during this moon phase. All are given freely for us to begin our journey in a positive manner. Capricorn New Moon is also a time in which we can go head on, into serious life sort out, finding the order we need to create solid foundations to reap what we sow later in the year or toward Full Moon.
All Moon phase signs bring us various lessons & Capricorn will be teaching us to accept rational boundaries, made or placed are there to offer us the free reign we need in our lives, giving us independence & true focus on what needs to be done.
Planetary influences
Mars retrograde semi-Square Luminaries - in slower motion than usual due to retrograde - In relationships, can highlight insecurities leading to openness & creating sexual pleasure, ultimately bringing growth to relationships. This may indicate long term growth in a relationship. Be mindful of over-reaction & aggression.
In addition, Mars retrograde can make it difficult for us to get moving on our plans, so we may find we have a great idea & plan ahead, but put those plans off until after New Year. In fact this may indicate subdued action well into 2025. Have patience, as retrograde offers 2nd chances to ideas & plans we have had before. So, look at what is illuminated & take another jump into that idea.
Saturn sextile luminaries - offers order & tangible steps toward fruition of a goal.
Uranus retrograde sesquiquadrante luminaries - Sesquiquadrate is 45 degrees or 135 degrees the luminaries & gives us a cosmic nudge out of our comfort zone. May indicate a long term goal or an area in which we have been working on something of importance, which could have included some form of power struggle. Remain curious, rather than reacting in a rash manner. Retract & investigate the change further. Consider the change before responding.
That's it from me for 2024. I thank you all for joining me this year, enjoy the cosmic guidance & have a happy, peaceful, abundant & healthy new year.
Join me again for a new year & a Full Moon article on or around our 1st full moon of 2025. Full Wolf Moon is on 13 January. I look forward to another year of great cosmic adventures.
In gratitude, love , light & all betwixt
