ASTRO: NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN: LAST OF 2025

AA NM CAPRICORN

19-20 DECCEMBER 2025 @1:43 GMT

All Hail & welcome to the final cosmic journey of 2025! 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.

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

New Moon loose conjunction to Mars & Venus - This aspect suggests there will be abundant cosmic support for creativity, energy & driving force. Mars is the planet of action energy & Venus of love & beauty. Finances may play part in this aspect.

New Moon square Saturn and Neptune – We may experience hurdles in areas where we wish for a new freshness. Our state of mind is the key. We could experience moods from hard pessimism to deeply visionary. Recognise & acknowledge the feelings & sit with it until it passes, but don’t give up. Where there is will there is a way!

New Moon quincunx Uranus – disruption to the flow can arouse a wish to get away from it all & start anew somewhere else. Trust the flow & don’t give up on desires, this feeling will pass given awareness & attention.

Well its that time of year again when I wish you a Merry Yule, blessed Christmas & a very Happy New Year. However you celebrate, be kind to yourself & others.

In gratitude, love, light & all betwixt
