The effects of the New Moon in Capricorn

On Thursday, January 11th, the moon will "rebirth" in Capricorn, giving life to the first New Moon of this year. This lunar cycle, culminating with the Full Moon in Leo, will prompt us to reflect on our aspirations, start new projects, let go of the old, and embrace the new. Some even define this New Moon as the "New Moon of new resolutions". We will feel a sense of rebirth and opportunities that encourage us to build the future we want with ambition and determination. Some will also find it easier to express themselves clearly, declare intentions, and come out in all areas of life. This is because the moon in Capricorn, an earth sign, ruled by Saturn, is associated with discipline, responsibility, and ambition.

What does New Moon mean?

As we know, the New Moon marks the beginning of a new month in the lunar calendar. It occurs when the Moon and the Sun meet at the same degree in the sky, forming what astrologers call a conjunction. In this phase, the New Moon is invisible in the nighttime sky. It has always been considered an energetically important time to create visions for the future and help those visions manifest. Dreams, aspirations, and ambitions become stronger, triggering the impulse to create the present and future we desire.

The New Moon in Capricorn and the other planets

On January 11th, the Sun and the Moon come together between the 20th and 21st degree of Capricorn, creating a trine with retrograde Uranus in Taurus, a position that invites us to change, adopt new perspectives, and behaviors by abandoning habits that make us comfortable but are neither healthy nor fruitful. If Uranus also encourages breaking obsolete patterns, Mars, also transiting in Capricorn, advises us to work at our maximum potential. From January 12th, Mars will form a productive trine with Jupiter in Taurus, supporting our growth and the process of evolution. And the other planets? Mercury and Venus will transit in Sagittarius, while Saturn and Neptune are in Pisces. This sky could bring up deep fears, but facing them will be a cathartic turning point.

What is the spiritual meaning of the New Moon in Capricorn?

The New Moon always coincides with a period of renewal. But each New Moon carries a different energetic signature based on the sign it occurs in and the connections it forms with the planets in the sky. Some are oriented towards love and relationships with others, while others serve as powerful calls to let go of the past and look towards tomorrow. The New Moon of January 11, 2024, occurring in Capricorn, a cardinal earth sign, helps us connect with this element, making us feel more centered, clear, and determined towards the challenges that life holds for us. That's why this phase is perfect to reset everything that is not working or making us unhappy, from toxic relationships to stagnant situations. It's normal to be afraid when leaving the known for the unknown, but the sky in these days invites us to proceed with confidence. Perseverance, ambition, and, why not, luck will help us achieve any kind of goal. At least, we hope so.
