Before sun-up, the Capricorn new moon encourages us to set intentions for achieving a long-term goal. As this lunation coincides with the new year, we may already be conceptualizing our priorities for the months ahead. This transit will help us to formulate a strategy and gather resources for our enterprise. However, there are two potential ways our initiatives can pan out now, and how we define “success” and “failure” has a deeper significance. The Capricorn new moon forms a T-square to the lunar nodes, also called the Nodes of Fate, acting as a volatile apex point polarizing two aspects of karma. The plan that we are forming today has the potential to jettison us toward our destiny, offering us further independence and autonomy over our affairs. However, it also may catapult us back into the familiarity of comfortable networks, where we make too many compromises and wind up relying on others’ permission to make progress. Either way, the intentions we set now can be a success. But consider what success means to you before setting any plans in stone. Think long and hard about what you want your results to look like. This moon will also trine Uranus in Taurus, encouraging out-of-the-box thinking, risk-taking, and innovating upon tradition. It will additionally sextile Neptune in Pisces, enhancing our intuition.
In the morning, Venus in Sagittarius trines Chiron in Aries, asking us to face our romantic fears! Insecurities around our self-worth may be stimulated today. But instead of shying away from cringy emotions, lean in. By opening our hearts when we are inclined to close off, we achieve a new level of healing. When we do, we become more magnetic to appropriate partners, not those who would serve to re-traumatize us. Someone who shows up in your life now can be a powerful force for transformation.
