9° Capricorn 43'
5:26 PM EDT / 2:26 PM PDT

December 30, 2024 — A Capricorn New Moon arrives on Monday at 5:26pm Eastern Time, offering a chance to make careful plans and agreements as we prepare for the New Year. Capricorn represents discipline, planning, and commitment, while the New Moon is a monthly opportunity to set intentions.

How are we ready to apply ourselves in the coming year?
What do we want to call in?

This lunation invites us to plant seeds for the future we want to create as we begin to feel the immense potentials of 2025.

In the background of this New Moon, Venus, the planet of love, is in Aquarius, squaring unpredictable Uranus in Taurus. This aspect sparks reinvention around our values, relationships, and desires, encouraging us to break free from old ruts, unhealthy relational cycles, and disappointments. Our attractions are changing, and toxic patterns may now feel particularly unappealing. While this energy can be erratic and intense, we're waking up and becoming healthier and more authentic as we move toward inspiring, aligned paths in all facets of our lives.

Meanwhile, Mars retrograde at 2° Leo opposes Pluto at 1° Aquarius, calling forth karmic reckoning and transformation. This compels us to confront blockages—both internal and external—that have kept us from our deepest longings. Mars retrograde slows us down, prompting reflection on old anger, frustrations, and self-doubt, while Pluto demands that we dive deep and release what no longer serves us. From this space, we have the opportunity to reclaim true confidence, pleasure, and freedom.

A mystic rectangle forms between Mars, Pluto, and the lunar nodes. This rare configuration highlights further recalibration in our relationships and priorities. It emphasizes the pull to step away from outdated dynamics and embrace more enlightened connections. This Grand Configuration is offering a supportive bridge from the arduous lessons of the past to newfound clarity and possibility.

This Capricorn New Moon is an anchor, grounding us in preparation for the powerful energies set to arrive in summer of 2025, which are ready to catalyze us and the world. The work we do now is laying the foundation for an entirely new chapter that’s ready to begin. The geode is about to crack open, revealing the magic of our highest potentials. For now, we’re embracing the hard work needed to pave the way for greater freedom, transformation, and strength.

Capricorn NEW MOON Aspiration

On this Capricorn New Moon, may we release painful relational patterns and clear the path to our deepest yearnings. May we align with our ideals and commit to the work so we can step into new realms of joy, clarity, and liberation.
