New Moon in Capricorn: Building the Lives We Desire

Tomorrow (January 16th 2018 at 6:17 PM PST) we are having a New Moon in Capricorn. Everything in the cosmos has been intense recently and this New Moon is no exception. This is actually quite a big moment for us all. 

New Moons are a time to plant seeds. A time we can start fresh and decide/work on what we would like to manifest in our lives. All the Capricorn energy lately has been urging us to get down to business to create the lives we want. It's about building new structures, it's about being practical and working hard. Manifesting what we want in our physical realities. This New Moon is just another stepping stone and push to do this. Plus the Capricorn energy is at an all time high right now with six planets in Capricorn! 

💫I want to talk about the planets besides the Sun and the Moon (which together form the New Moon) that are in Capricorn right now and how they are contributing to all that's going on. 💫

Mercury 

We finally have Mercury in Capricorn. It was kind of a straggler since it went retrograde last month. We may not have been completely sure about the direction our lives were going in and maybe we were missing some information. Now that it has joined the Capricorn party we are able to make decisions. We are able to use our practical minds to help build the future we want. 

Venus 💟

Venus has been part of the Capricorn party for a little while now and is nearing the end of it's transit there.  It's the closest Capricorn planet to the New Moon. It's been pretty highlighted lately and this is no exception. This is helping us build lives that include what we love. It also just places a big focus on relationships. For some people building the relationship you want is important at this time. Commitment and taking relationships seriously is in the air. 

Saturn

Saturn recently started it's 2 1/2 year cycle through Capricorn. Saturn rules Capricorn, so it's really powerful there. It's the ruler of all this Capricorn energy right now. It's quite a big player in the cosmos at the moment. It's really helping us get practical and serious about our lives. Saturn is an authority figure, a taskmaster and father time all in one. I think this placement can be powerful and helpful, but if you aren't taking your life seriously and don't realize the precious nature of time, life could be harder for you. 

Pluto 

Pluto has been in Capricorn for a few years and has a few more years to go. It really adds a big transformative energy to all this Capricorn. It's making a huge exciting aspect that I'm stoked about right now. Jupiter in Scorpio is making a sextile to it. This is a rare and exciting aspect. So much growth and transformation at this time! I mean, it's major! Also, Pluto is ruling Jupiter right now because Jupiter is in the sign that Pluto rules, making this even more intense! The Scorpio energy is contributing in general to all this Capricorn energy. Besides that big Jupiter aspect, Mars is in a sextile with the New Moon. This gives us the drive to build the lives that we want. The Scorpio energy is making us dig deep and to make sure that we are building lives that are rich and satisfying on a soul level. Only what we really want and desire will do at this time. 

Uranus square the Sun and Venus ⛇

Over the weekend Uranus in Aries squared both Venus and the Sun. The energy is still in play a little, but mostly happened right before the New Moon. Uranus brought some unexpected twists perhaps and threw some curveballs our way, but hopefully even if they were rough we've been able to assimilate them alright and we can move forward accordingly now. 

Chiron Sextile the New Moon 

The last aspect/planet I want to talk about is Chiron in Pisces, which is making a sextile to the New Moon. This brings healing energy to this time. We are healing certain things in our lives, so that we can move forward and build the lives we are meant to have. 

☆ Overall this is an intense time! A wonderful time to start building the lives we want however. Yes the energy has more of a serious tone then a light hearted one, but not in a bad way. The universe is pushing us forwards and personally I think it's rather exciting. ☆
