The New Moon in Capricorn is ruled by Saturn in Sagittarius that is in a waning, last quarter sextile with Jupiter in Libra, a last quarter square with Chiron in Pisces, and a disseminating trine with Uranus in Aries.
Over attachment to external validation for achievement and effort as well as the completed form of endeavors can lead the saturnine Sea Goat into melancholic malaise, yet its melancholic nature can be continually rejuvenated through full participation in the moment of creation, absorbed in its enhanced capacity to bridge the immaterial with the material and bring imaginal ideas into manifestation. The Sea Goat symbolizing Capricorn not only yearns to climb mountains of accomplishment, but also is drawn into the oceanic, immaterial expanse underlying reality where it can tap into the roots of form, churning visions of what to manifest from subconscious senses. We enter the blackness of the New Moon as Mercury is purified and regenerated at the heart of the Sun, stripping and cleansing us from egotistical attachments to material forms and ambitions dictated by societal conditioning rather than intrinsic motivation. Mercury retrograde in Capricorn is united with the New Moon one degree away, and earlier on the same day during the darkest dark of the Moon, Mercury retrograde is exactly conjunct the Sun. The New Moon in Capricorn on 29 December 2016 pulls us underneath the surrounding soil of society, penetrating into the underlying dynamics at play in the tearing down and building up of forms.

People can often be unpredictable, and trying to manage that too soon might build up more frustration and resentment from others later.Y.G. Yet, what's harder for you to handle now is chaos itself-despite your facility with taming it.īefore you’ve heard all sides, you might abruptly squash the clash between old and new to reach a harmonious conclusion. It helps that you're also more curious about them than perhaps you usually are. But you're also sufficiently patient to recognize that you can't hold on to the same systems, procedures, and technologies forever.įriends, family, and partners will also appreciate you now, since you seem to have a better handle on newer applications and devices than others. This often means that supervisors and colleagues will trust you at work because you're patient enough not to demand immediate change. In your circle, you're likely to become the “chaos whisperer.” You seem to tame chaos and keep yourself and others productive when big changes are afoot. Sometimes you must first observe chaos, rather than rushing to quell it, so you can understand what it has to teach you. But because people, their emotions, and their ideas are unpredictable, this can't always happen. You insist on everything happening in measured ways.
Yet, you do have an uneasy relationship with chaos. You're often open to learning new skills or technologies, to see how you can integrate them with what you have or know. But that won't stop you from tinkering with things or situations to see if they can be improved. Instead, you're inclined to believe that if something isn't broke, there’s no absolute need to change or fix it. And you don't automatically respect newness just because it’s fresh.
You don't resent who or what is old for their oldness. You can welcome it, without expecting or demanding too much of it. You can do this because you're not afraid of novelty, innovation, or change. You often quell chaos into docile change.
