New Moon [20 Capricorn 44]
January 11, 2024 (11:57 GMT)
New Moon Alert!
A new lunar cycle begins with the New Moon. This month’s New Moon comes at an ideal time to look ahead and set your intentions for 2024 if you haven’t done so already. It’s another opportunity to stop and think about what you want, where you’re heading and why in the year ahead.
During the New Moon, the Sun and Moon sit side by side in the zodiac, the perfect team; the King (Sun) and Queen (Moon) of the sky, the Sun ruling the day and the Moon ruling the night.
New Moon Energy
Set your intentions this New Moon. The best time to do this is after the New Moon. At the exact moment of the New Moon, everything is dark. Note the exact date/time of the New Moon above.
Meditate during the New Moon, then set your intentions and plan ahead. You might choose to write down your hopes for the year ahead or state your dreams out loud when you first catch sign of the crescent moon in the night sky. The first time you see the silvery sliver of crescent moon in the night sky is an ideal time to make a wish.
Capricorn’s zodiac symbol is the mountain goat. Capricorn is the star sign at the peak of the horoscope with its eye on the future. This is earth sign energy and the Capricorn New Moon is perfect for looking ahead, drawing up a business plan or long-term goals. Make a commitment to climb to the top of your chosen mountain, literally or metaphorically.
There is a chance to make things happen and fast on this New Moon. This is because the Sun and Moon are trine spontaneous Uranus in earth sign Taurus.
You could leap into action and make a bold statement or get creative about your next steps. Think productive and practical goals that can make a difference to society. It’s about the collective with Uranus in action.
Capricorn Goals
We are still in Capricorn season until January 20. And, there’s plenty going on in the star sign where power planet Pluto has taken up residence from 2008-2024.
Action planet Mars is now in Capricorn, great for building empires. Talk planet Mercury returns to Capricorn on January 14, sweeping up where it got halted when it turned retrograde in Capricorn on December 13. The planet of relating Venus will bring some popularity and social graces to Capricorn from January 23 onwards.
Plus, with a major definitive Sun/Pluto conjunction at 29° Capricorn on January 20, immediately before both planets change star sign and begin a new era in social, egalitarian Aquarius, don’t miss out on what’s happening in the Capricorn area of your horoscope.
What’s coming to an end? Where you can you make a power grab as planets rush through Capricorn? Where are you ready to close the door behind you and move on?
