Capricorn New Moon Dec. 30, 2024
Capricorn New Moon
The last Full Moon of 2024 culminates later today at 5:27pm in the 10th degree of Capricorn, emphasizing taking care of business. Focus on your existing responsibilities or building solid foundations for yourself that you'll be able to rely on going forward, being careful not to take on anymore than you can handle. I like a three to five year plan in these fluctuating times of uncertainty.
The chart of this New Moon shows Cancer rising, indicating that the Ruler is the Moon and it reminds us to listen to our own gut reactions in our planning phase for the month ahead. Ask yourself, does this feel right, or is this my responsibility to fix, maintain or begin, or is it someone else's?
If your answer is yes, then it's time to start putting your plans into action.
Frustration may be high during this phase due to Mars in Leo actively taking strides to be seen or heard. There will be plenty of people letting you know what they want, loudly and vehemently, so avoid being too blunt and in-your-face, instead going for friendly assertiveness and not letting others push your buttons!
Focus on what needs doing and follow through without expectation of reward or recognition from authority figures. Do the job for the job's sake. Putting your best efforts into what inspires you and knowing you feel better having listened to yourself and accomplishing what you set out to do is reward enough.
A harmonious aspect between Mars and Neptune allows you to follow your bliss and make a difference in your life and the lives of your loved ones. There may be trouble communicating due to a block between Mercury and Saturn. Say as little as possible while looking at what steps to take next in the grander scheme of things. Don't let fear hold you back as you allow your inner child to express itself daily by finding joy in the work you do.
Remember to smile and maintain a balance between yourself and your public/work persona, while keeping your head in the stars and your feet on the ground.
