Capricorn New
Moon Miniscopes
Building A Better Future.
The New Moon falls at 9º Capricorn, 5:26 PM ET on December 30th.
As we prepare to enter this new Gregorian year, we are given a fresh lunar cycle—one where we are called to reform and restructure. The New Moon in Capricorn grounds us as we embark on a journey towards growth. It supports: creating foundations and structures where there once were none. Standing like a mountain in the middle of the ocean, it is a shelter to keep us from drowning in the icy sea of Winter. This New Moon is concerned with where we lay our roots and set ourselves up, acting like a space of protection as we find our way. Here, we start to build toward something bigger than ourselves.
However, when we carve out our space on this mountain, do we lock ourselves in? When does a structure become too rigid, too restrictive? Saturn is the leader of this New Moon, where it redefines, restructures, and rebuilds all that has come into focus over the last year. We know that path isn’t always easy, but with hard work comes a reward—every time. Saturn isn’t just the ruler of obstacles, but also where we reach the pinnacle of success. We have ascended up the mountain, and made it to the top, but now we have a different perspective of life atop the peak. To rest peacefully on top of that mountain, we must be willing to let some things go. Saturn is transiting through Pisces where we are reminded of the power of flexibility.
This New Moon comes as a support system from Saturn, while Saturn and Jupiter square off. In many ways, expansion and reaching beyond the limits are themes that light the way. We must understand the story of the Devil in Tarot, where excess and extreme scarcity leave us in the dark. We have to bring it back to a balance. Jupiter is the Wheel, pushing us to understand that everything works in divine timing. Sometimes, we have to accept the churning and turning of life and notice how at times our fortune changes. Jupiter allows for new opportunities as we unchain ourselves from the Devil. We are not the obstacles that stand before us, but the resilience we have in facing those obstacles. In the end, we can ground ourselves in our intentions and joys as we choose to follow a new path.
The Sun and Moon sextile Saturn, where we are tasked with self-actualization and personal transformation. Our ability to transform our inner world allows us to ground our dreams into reality. Sometimes, the unexpected moments in life can be pleasurable and exciting. We must be willing to value the leaps of faith we take and accept that part of life is letting loose.
Forgiveness and compassion lead the way toward greater self-acceptance. It is from here we can truly enjoy the fruits of our labor and sit in our success. The New Moon sets the tone for the coming year, so how will you work with this energy? This is a pathway built with long-term potential. Nothing is impossible when we have faith.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 4º to 14, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. Especially those with strong Cardinal placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
What is the pinnacle for you? Capricorn Season usually turns your focus toward your outward life, publicity, and career. This also encompasses your direction and achievements. The last 6 months have had you working hard and making decisions that impacted your future — and now it seems that you are either beginning or about to begin a new phase.
Your 10th House is being highlighted — a place of career, direction, and honor. You may be busy with work and considering ways to change how you approach your career. This would be an ideal time to launch a product/project, bringing your focus to the type of work you do and/or maintaining your perspective on your goals. Are you feeling like you are doing what you want to do? How does this influence your daily life? Are you overwhelmed right now? Taking on too much? In some ways, you may be reaching a pinnacle. You could be redefining your purpose and pushing yourself to the next level.
Saturn leads this lunation from your 12th House. Saturn is reminding you of the power of rest, relaxation, and balancing priorities. Take it easy if you can around this time. Saturn may also bring up a need to close doors or find peace in endings around this time. Endings can be the means of a new beginning, so try not to hold onto what needs to be let go.
Use this New Moon to build a bridge for yourself. Focus on your next steps and your direction in life. Allow yourself to shine at work regardless of what others may say. If a job isn’t a good fit, then start looking around for something else. Work with your roots and nourish your foundations. Really give yourself space to go after what you want.
Taurus & Taurus Rising

You are opening up more and willing to learn through experience.
Your 9th House is being activated, so this is a good time to expand your horizons. This is about experiencing life and learning along the way.

However, new people will enter, especially those who are more committed to investing in friendship or relationships. This energy will also prompt you to find a deeper meaning of your place in this world or your role in society.
Use this New Moon to start seeing possibilities that may lie elsewhere. Remove the limitations by removing yourself from situations that make you feel small. Start finding alternative pathways and know they still lead to the goals you want to achieve. Take time to assess what you really want from life. It can help you clear the blocks that stand in front of you.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
You have come so far, and the last month or so was a wild ride for you! Right now though, your mind turns toward some healing, slowing down and focusing on what’s here in front of you. This New Moon reinforces that message. It falls in your 8th House, this puts attention on shedding old skin, releasing and unearthing. Even in ways not seen by others, your life has been completely transformed.
This New Moon is asking for you to get intimate. Focus on your emotional well-being, but also share your depths with those you are close to. It could be a great New Moon for exploring interests and opening yourself up to the unknown. Alternatively, some of you may have past issues that crop up and need your attention. Resilience is key as you walk through fire and ice to get to the core of what keeps you in your holding patterns. Like a Phoenix, you can rise again, burning brighter, faster, and hotter than ever before — but it may require personal grace and confrontations with your own limitations first. Consider this confrontation an exercise of intimacy — with yourself and others. Remember that resilience can simply be leaning into your softness.

The thing is, people are paying attention to you — recognition won’t be hard to come by. However, there will be lessons around maintaining a level of privacy in the process of rising higher. Some of you may also make important shifts or changes in the work you do. Ultimately, Saturn is pushing you to consider your legacy in this world. What do you want to be known for?
Use this New Moon to work on yourself and your inner world. Focus on your healing and the ways in which you can get intimate with those you love and trust. Open yourself up to new areas for resources and be willing to share and receive what is available. Find time to break cycles that keep you in harmful patterns. You are like a snake, constantly shedding skin.
Cancer & cancer Rising
The tone shifts from the Full Moon to the New Moon, where you focus on the “we.” Over the last many years, you had been dealing with Pluto going through your 7th House, restructuring your relations with others. This has impacted how you engage in the world around you — and most importantly your one-on-one dynamics. Now that Pluto has left this area of your chart, this New Moon brings an opportunity to make changes on the partnership or relationship front.
Your 7th House is being emphasized right now, which places attention on the “others” in our lives. You could be thinking about boundaries, connection, and how you fit into said relationship(s). Now, keep in mind, this isn’t always a romantic relationship. This is about a union of any kind — business partner, close friendship, etc. You may be more willing with the give and take — just know to keep a balance. If you are single, this is can be a time to meet someone. If you are in a relationship and happy, you may want to continue to cultivate greater reciprocity or commitment. Now, here’s the thing about 7th House transits, if you are UNHAPPY, then know that a new beginning may be sparked by an ending (but of course, it will be for the best in the end). Only you know the intricacies of this relationship or how it may play out for you. Ultimately, the 7th House is about restoring balance in your life on every level.
Saturn, the ruler of this New Moon, will turn your attention to growth, adventure, and aspiration as it tours your 9th House. This is all about seeing your goals as something tangible, not far-fetched. Saturn will help ground you in the process of attaining whatever your heart desires. You may have to be willing to be flexible and pivot in your journey toward becoming. Saturn will enlighten you and remind you that you hold the power in your decision-making. From some, this may even look like the lessons on learning how to take a risk or go down the road less travelled.
Use this New Moon to start something new with other people in your life. Enact boundaries and keep them. Stand up for yourself. Form new relationships and alliances. Strengthen the partnerships that truly matter. Try to make connections that feel inspiring and exciting. Recommit to someone or something and restore a balance in your life.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
You are taking things slow right now. You have been making changes to your daily routine and your life, in general, even in subtle ways. But it seems that the day-to-day operations are what is making the most impact. You are looking to take more ownership and control of your daily affairs. You may be finding your way in a new job or simply just settling into a new routine.
This New Moon falls in your 6th House, and all of this lies here. In addition, health could be a focus, too. You may be trying to do better and be better to your body. A New Moon in your 6th House is an excellent time to look for work and to start routines that you want to carry with you into the long term. Take time to reorganize your intentions and priorities for the upcoming weeks or even the year. In the process of committing to a few plans or ideas, you can be flexible. You don’t have to feel fixed on whatever you decide forever. Actually, you have been learning the lessons of commitment, for better or worse, over the last few years.
Saturn rules this New Moon and will have you more looking at what you share with others. This can be your resources (emotional, material, etc), as well as your intimacy and private life.

Right now, you are receiving reminders of what it means to focus on your own joy — and we have a New Moon in Capricorn, that is helping you with this. With a New Moon in a fellow Earth sign, the energy is more natural and receptive. You can easily accept whatever comes, as it is a reflection of your own element.
This lunation falls in your 5th House, so your mind will be on creativity, joy, happiness, creation, and possibly even love. You may get a wind of inspiration that rolls through and empowers you. You know that your happiness is essential, and now that is more clear than ever. What this New Moon invites you to do is reflect on what brings you pleasure and play in life. You have to connect with that inner child and open yourself up to the fun in life. Let loose a little and relax your shoulders. If you have kids, this would be an ideal New Moon to connect with them. If you are looking to conceive, this lunation is good for that, too. Of course, this isn’t just conception of human life, but also a conception of an idea or even a romance!
Additionally, With Saturn ruling this New moon, you will be more focused on commitment, relationships, and reciprocity. This is about understanding your role in your relationships and vice versa. You may have to be more intentional about your boundaries with others. Some relationships may be challenging, while others will be extremely rewarding. This is a sense that you are learning to grow and find maturation in how you relate to/with those around you. Saturn may bring in a mentor or an older person who can support you or guide you. Alternatively, you may be that person to someone else as well. With Saturn in the 7th House, this would be a good time to consider who or what you are committing to. This will promote long-term relationships and bonds.
Use this New Moon to open yourself creatively. Follow your passions and listen to your heart. Go with what sets your soul ablaze and don’t let anyone stop you. Give voice to your happiness and your joy. You can take up space, it doesn’t mean that someone else doesn’t get their share, too. Start a creative project and just genuinely allow yourself time to relax. Your heart is your guiding force. Where will it lead you?
Libra & Libra Rising
This New Moon rushes in to show you how to find power in your softness and restructure your mentality around rest. For you Libra, it is time to come home. You may have been feeling unsettled at best, and this lunation will have you focused on taking a respite or just needing a little space to go within.
The New Moon in Capricorn turns your face toward your inner world, your emotional foundations, and your home/family. Especially as it sits in your 4th House, the area of roots and ancestry. You may be looking to move, buy, sell, or rent. You could be redecorating or just making your house more of a home. Alternatively, you may be more active with family matters or looking to have a quiet entrance into the Winter after a busy few weeks. Any career-related changes or matters will move a bit slower. Try not to stress, know that it will see a turn of events in late-february. The opportunities to rewrite traditions and redefine your relationship with lineage come up here as well.
Saturn’s rulership of this New Moon will shift your focus over the next year to your work, health, and routines as it sits in your 6th House. You will learn to build stronger foundations in your day to day. If you are employed by someone, this will likely put you in a more senior position and/or add more to your plate. Saturn may bring responsibility. Alternatively, if you work for yourself, this will be more focused on a chapter around your self-employment and the clients you work with. From a wellness perspective, Saturn will ask that you commit to being better to your body and overall health.
Use this New Moon to focus on your home and family life. Redecorate, renovate, or move. Try resolving past issues with family that may be residual or seek to create better boundaries with them. Take time away to rest and reflect on this lunation. Lean into your nostalgia a bit and make peace with the past. Open yourself up to ancestral guidance, learn more about your lineage and connect with those you love — living or deceased. Know that you create the security and safety you seek.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
You are a Fixed sign, and in the last while, Fixed energy has been going through it a bit. There have been many ups and downs in the last several years. The energy is shifting, and this New Moon in Capricorn comes in to nourish and heal.
It will fall in your 3rd House, so communication and dialogue will be extremely important. This is really not a time to mince your words or hold back. Instead, you have to be more open with saying what’s on your mind and heart — and more so, also be receptive to what others have to say. People are listening, but in all reality, you should be listening too. This is a time of gathering information and learning through your interactions with others. You may hear some interesting news at this time. Additionally, be careful of overbooking yourself. Busyness is likely.
As we enter this New Moon, Saturn will be placed in a prominent position as the leader of this lunation. It is sitting in your 5th House. This has put your energy into your joy, happiness, and passions. You will need to focus on welcoming ease into your life and know that not everything needs to be so hard. Additionally, Saturn will teach you the lessons of focusing on what brings you pleasure. You will not be able to ignore your dissatisfactions — they will need to be addressed and changed. Affairs of the heart will also take precedence. Saturn can help you gain wisdom in what sets your heart aflame, learning to allow things to be a slow burn instead of hot, intense passion.
Use this New Moon to really leverage your voice. Get in touch with those around you and share what is on your mind. Write things down and find ways to deal with the busy life you are surrounded by. Try to quiet those voices in your head that hold you back and seek help for any anxiety you may be taking on or hold. Perspective is everything. You need to see things a little differently in order to get ahead.
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
With Mercury finishing its post-shadow period in your sign, you could be feeling a need to slow down and enjoy what is right in front of you. This New Moon helps reinforce that message. You will be more focused on self-reliance and your personal power.
The New Moon falls in your 2nd House, where income, material possession, self-worth, value, and critical self-understanding lie. Here, we take a stand. If you are looking for new sources of income or a promotion, this could be a good lunation for you to do so, but it won’t come without work. I think it would be best to encourage you to think about what you value and why. What is important to you and how does that impact your daily life? Understanding your self-worth and your morals is helpful as you navigate all of the changes that have been occurring lately. You can’t be caught up in ambiguity anymore. Redefine the attitude toward success. Your self-worth does come into play here, as you may need to be creative and flexible in learning to see yourself in a new light. When was the last time you truly had pride in what you do and talked yourself up? Take a moment to see how much more stable you are now than you have been in the last few years.
With Saturn as the leader of this New Moon, it will help you redefine and restructure your idea of home, family, and personal foundations from your 4th House. You will be learning lessons about privacy and how to keep some things closer to your chest. Additionally, this will also be a time to find a space to root yourself. If you want to buy a home, move, renovate, etc — Saturn will help you. There may be some work involved, but Saturn will help you make a more lasting commitment to your home and family life.
Use this New Moon to get a handle on your resources, material and otherwise. Figure out how to spend your energy — and on what. See what potential opportunities arise around money and try to network with people to see if newer clients or work can come up. Comb through the things you own and purge what isn’t good for you anymore. But above all else, focus on how to call back your power, your self-worth and your potential. You have to let go of what stands in the way of you seeing your true value.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
You have been working so hard behind the scenes and now we are reaching a breakout moment. A New Moon is always a good time to start a new cycle, but when it falls in your sign, what you begin is entirely up to you.
This New Moon falls in your 1st House turning your attention toward your individuality, motivations, identity and self. What keeps you going? Who are you and how do you show that to others? These are good questions to ask yourself because you are now in a place where you can change perceptions. This is a time for show and tell — show them who you are, and if they don’t understand, tell them. Make no mistake, you have the floor. There is a spotlight on you, and you are coming into your own. The ask here is that you do what FEELS right. You can begin again and set yourself up for future success, but this may require a little introspection first. This is the time to welcome more autonomy, seek out personal motivations and establish (loose) goals that you want to achieve this year. You are ruled by Saturn, so its influence is one that you know well.
At this New Moon, Saturn will take the lead. You may find yourself getting more involved with those around you or connecting with people more. Additionally, this is the House of communication, thoughts, and ideas. You will see that you will need to be more grounded and realistic about what you envision for yourself and how you communicate with others. This means learning about dialogue and new perspectives. The 3rd House is also a transitionary space and one that focuses on the busyness of the day-to-day. Saturn will ensure that you do not take on too much or bite off more than you can chew now.
Use this New Moon to call back your power. Stand in your body and fully own who you are. Run for what you want and start a new cycle in your being. Seek wholeness in your identity and share yourself unapologetically. Give yourself space for freedom and open the doors to change. Don’t resist what unfolds, instead leap into it. Embrace the present. Reconnect with your happiness and motivations. What fuels you? What gives you life? Work on re-engaging with your needs.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
A call to quiet. You are itching for peace and a slower pace now. You have been working so hard the last few weeks. A demanding schedule for you, or anyone, can be taxing. However, this New Moon invites you to find more serenity in your life. Sometimes, peace is created, not found.
It is time to withdraw a bit. You know your time is coming, but Capricorn Season highlights a time to go within and take time to rest. This New Moon is no different. It falls in your 12th House, bringing something to a close and asking for respite. You could be working behind the scenes on a project, finishing up something personal or even just taking some time off. The 12th House asks for you to get in touch with your intuition and pay attention to your dreams. You could be re-engaging with a more spiritual and hidden aspect of yourself now. You are asked to have faith and let go of control. Surrender and restoration are the themes of this lunation. You are co-ruled by Saturn, a planet of responsibility and structure. However, you tend to be the one who takes that structure and bends it to work for you.
At this New Moon, Saturn will take the lead from your 2nd House. This will turn your attention to your self-worth, value, resources, and sense of comfort for the next year. You will be tasked with grounding yourself in what you have now and really learning how to utilize or work with the resources available to you. Saturn can also bring in additional resources — but this may come with more responsibility or a new view on valuation. Saturn will help you earn, receive, and give in all new ways.
Use this New Moon to really bring yourself in. Take time to reflect, rest, and create your peace. Don’t let anyone or anything take that away from you. Focus on what you can receive and what you can release. This lunation is potent for you — finally closing a door, even if it isn’t easy. Some decisions aren’t to be made lightly, but you know in your heart what the outcomes will be. Take care of yourself.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
Building a community can be important, as it reminds you that you are not alone. Those around you have been there to build you up and help you when you need it most — even if you are afraid to ask. The New Moon in Capricorn comes in to show you that your friends have your back. This is a time for mutual support. The best thing you can do is allow people into your life, and to connect and converse.
The 11th House, where this lunation falls, also rules your hopes, dreams and wishes. So, the theme of this New Moon is about dreaming big and not allowing that to die. If you have a vision of what tomorrow can bring, use that to motivate you toward your future. Nurture feelings of optimism and blend that with your innate realism. This would also be a great time to reach out to friends and your outer network. You are likely to be invited out more and have people really looking to connect with you. The 11th House wants to see you enjoy those in your circle and be willing to meet new people.
Saturn is the ruler of this lunation, and its transit through your sign (or 1st House) is having you reframe and redefine who you are and how you show up. You will work through passions, desires, identity, and motivations. In many ways, you will emerge an entirely different person by the end of the Saturn in Pisces transit. Consider Saturn coming in as a grounding force, asking that you create stability and unshakeable foundations in your life. You are making commitments to a whole new version of yourself — your own evolution. It may be hard work at times, but in the end it will be very rewarding. There is no better time to show up for yourself than now.
Use this New Moon to open yourself to possibility. It is time to ask for help and see that the future is co-created. It requires that you have the will to seek support. Everything is in flux, but the outcome will present itself soon. Things may come and go in life, but focus on the people that remain constant. Your life is fuller and richer with those that you collaborate and connect with.
