New Moon in Capricorn

Writing about the New Moon in Capricorn, while it’s snowing on the Winter Solstice, feels cosmically poetic. On December 30th, we’ll close out 2024 with the New Moon in Capricorn.

The New Moon in Capricorn will invite us all to set grounded and ambitious intentions for the New Year, reflect on our previous 365 days, and encourage us to look ahead and set new goals. During this time, we’ll feel encouraged to renovate our commitment to what we find valuable and find clarity on what we aspire to build during 2025.

This lunation is a wonderful opportunity to set tangible, practical, and grounded intentions for the upcoming calendar year, and commit to renewing our relationship with responsibility.

The Sun and Moon in Capricorn are currently forming simultaneous sextiles to Capricorn’s planetary ruler - Saturn in Pisces - signifying and supporting our ability to clearly envision our future, manifest our dreams, create practical plans for success, and foster emotional resilience.

There’s also a spiritual and intuitive level to this alignment that encourages us to balance ambition with compassion and to align our long-term goals with a deeper sense of purpose.

As we enter 2025, a surprising sense of determination and perseverance covers us like a blanket of hope. This New Year will not be easy; we’ll encounter a lot of challenges and new experiences, but once we make it through, we’ll be so grateful for the experience it gave us.

All 12 Signs will feel this New Moon in Capricorn, but the Cardinal Signs - Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, and Libra - can expect to feel this energy the most as they face opportunities to confront any patterns of avoidance or indecision, reflect on their relationship to structure and begin taking more accountability for their actions and those that have prevented them from taking full responsibility for their choices.

For Capricorn placements, this will be their first New Moon in Capricorn without Pluto, since 2008. The intensity that has plagued their last 16 years has finally been lifted and they can look to their future with hope and a sense of unfamiliar ease. So, while this New Moon is very much about setting the stage for 2025, it’s also about honoring our past and the changes and transformations we have endured and survived.
