Capricorn New Moon

1/12/2021 ~11:00pm CST

Pluto conjoins the Sun and Moon in Capricorn, amplifying what this new moon represents, making introspection feel heavier. Heavy it may be, I love this new moon because it feels like a great book end to what has been an active 2-3 years in Capricornian marshes.

Our baggage, too heavy to bring on the Aquarian Journey, digs into our hands the longer we hold it. Let Pluto show you the things or pattern you hold onto that causes more trouble than it’s worth. It hurts to let it go, but the pain is temporary. Your hands will feel better and be free to receive, or at least pick up a shovel.

..::What have you gained through hardship since 2018?

..::Where can you step away and be more hands off?

..::Which piece of baggage can you set down?

This period of time also holds Mars squaring Saturn. Saturn reflects delays and a slower pace than preferred on the things Mars would like to get on with. **Prepare timelines with longer framing in mind.** There is a restlessness, so I encourage doing sensational, tangible, tactile, but still relaxing things! (e.g. knitting, painting, light movement/stretching/foam rolling, aromatherapy, warm bath). This may be a better option for creating ritual around your new moon day, especially if meditation is not feeling helpful.

***********

These horoscopes were written with your Rising Sign in mind. If you don't know your Rising Sign, Astrodienst.com or Chani Nicholas' site have reliable chart generators. Look to the house in your chart that holds Capricorn, and consider the themes symbolized by that house.

Cancer

You’ve gained wisdom while adapting to challenges in partnership the last few years. Release fear of scarcity or the need to control others in partnership. Trust now in the boundaries and relationship structures that you’ve repaired or built. Accept only the most sea-worthy friendships to ride the waves of love or collaboration.

Leo

You're well-aware that you must take care of your mental and physical health, no matter what responsibilities daily life demands. Remove what doesn’t tangibly help you maintain your health, or tend to the daily up-keeping of life. Imagine a lifestyle or routine that will support you long-term and maintain a solid foundation of living.

Virgo

You’ve been resourceful and learned much about creativity, children, play, rest, or your sex life since 2017. Repeat after me, my friend: I do not need to “earn” rest. Continue to develop a healthy relationship with rest and work.You don't need to make prerequisites or qualifiers for your own joy to occur. That’s bullshit and you know it.

Libra

Your private/home life, relationship with parents, matters of land and dwelling are highlighted by this lunation. Cracks in the foundations of these topics have been exposed or repaired. Problems which couldn’t be repaired, may have yet to be removed. Tie up loose ends of these stories, planning how to maintain healthy home function in the years ahead.

Scorpio

The way you communicate with your casual circles, neighborhoods, or siblings has changed in recent years, teaching you how to better navigate these relationships. Release perfectionism and express yourself authentically! Being comfortable with difficult topics doesn’t infer immunity to the fear of vulnerability, but you're better equipped than anyone to work with that fear.

Sagittarius

Your money or structures of self-worth were under major pressure between 2017 and now. Knowledge and skills learned through financial hardship now lead to more freedom and ease in how you make money and inner-wealth. Acknowledge and name any residual fear hiding in Plutonian shadow, and let it know it has no home here.

Capricorn

You've endured much since 2017 growing spiritual feet in the process. With a renewed sense of self and a clearer view of the path ahead, question ways of being or identities that no longer serve your progress. Follow roles that align with your ambitions most, or that provide space and time in 2021 to focus on your health and personal wealth.

Aquarius

Aquarians are the best at finding wasteful designs, but not always at changing them in themselves. Time spent in isolation, chronic transition, or suffering can build the compassion and self-knowledge needed to break obsolete or rigid behavior/thought patterns. Design a system to maintain mental and spiritual health going forward.

Pisces

Friendships and communities can provide much of life's structure. You've learned what doesn't work for you in that regard over the last few years, and found consolidation and better alignment with social spheres. Consider how to engage*sustainably* with friends and groups, especially while your 12th house subconscious adjusts to all the new attention.

Aries

You’ve examined your life path or career, adapting to challenges in your work-life balance. Be clear on what you want in your career or Path now; there is no more time to waste on vocational dead ends. You’ve made it through much hardship and uncertainty, and your resulting skills and leadership may be of use to your communities. Keep an eye there for meaningful opportunities.

Taurus

Progress in your career or path hinges on the health of your entire being (intellectual, physical, emotional, spiritual). Forward momentum demands starting and maintaining difficult personal changes. Release outdated beliefs, world-views, and whole-ass institutions; make space for fresh ways of engaging with the external world. Opportunities will demand a flexible and open mind.

Gemini

This lunation supports you in processing emotional baggage from run-ins with scarcity, mortality, or times of restriction. Lean on your journal, friends, or therapist as needed to find closure or peace. Set intentions on how you will sustainably share your time, money, or talent moving forward. You've overcome many related challenges and have the know-how!
