At 11:51 AM: Capricorn New Moon

The Capricorn new moon arrives with a celestial counsel: Mercury, Venus, and Mars are all in conference within ambitious degrees. This rare cosmic assembly charts our collective course for the next six months. We'll see this play out as institutions and leaders leverage strategic communication, charismatic persuasion, and decisive action to write narratives and consolidate influence, for better or for worse. Your personal assignment is to fortify your own inner-authority so that when the wind blows, you (the mountain) remain unmoved. Finalize your independence!

At 8:09 pm: Mercury is trine Uranus retrograde

At night, Mercury in Capricorn flows into a brilliant trine with Uranus retrograde in Taurus. This grounded, earthy connection brings a flash of genius, making a wild idea instantly applicable in your world. A stubborn, real-world problem receives a shockingly simple and inventive fix. An unexpected message could reveal a new angle you’d serendipitously overlooked. This is a chance to upgrade your mental processing system, your workflow, your budget, and even your creative process. Sometimes in life, we need to break our own self-imposed rules!
