Capricorn time of year has us focused on the practical matters in our lives, including how we handle our professional work as well as our family responsibilities. Relationships formed under this sign are often based on business or other achievement goals. Capricorn connections include those that value success and future security, which may be more prevalent on our hearts and minds these days.
“If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes.”
Andrew Carnegie
Let’s improve our understanding of this period in life, by first realizing that underneath it all, people need to feel successful and competent about themselves, especially when we have recently faced unusual challenges and difficult disappointments. The world continues to contend with big issues ranging from health to politics and justice with rising levels of danger involved. Through responsible and decisive action, we will achieve better outcomes for everyone.
THIS SERIOUS PHASE FAVORS MATURE JUDGEMENT.
The new moon in Capricorn pushes us to get serious and recommit to what we value. This energy is hard-working, determined, and clarifying. Capricorn stimulates us to get real and consider how our attitudes and behaviors affect our results, and while that may not seem as fun and free-spirited as other signs, the powerful themes now are MATURITY, DEDICATION, DISCIPLINE, and PRACTICALITY, toward creating stable results.
“Some people dream of success, while other people get up every morning and make it happen.”
Wayne Huizenga
RESPONSIBILITY, HONOR, and DUTY are on the mind of the collective nowadays.
Capricorn inspires our confidence to roll up our sleeves and do what needs to be done to make our world a better place. Thanks to the blessing of the new moon, when our thoughts and feelings are most naturally in sync, life automatically becomes a bit easier, and we find ourselves more energized to step up and work hard now. The New Moon is the monthly planetary boost and the best opportunity to plant seeds for what you want to manifest.
“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day-in and day-out.”
Robert Collier
Be deliberate as you consider what you wish for, and be sure to create some personal rules and guidelines so that your efforts will stay on track. The Capricorn shadow can also bring about an overemphasis on goal attainment, that leads to unhealthy workaholic behaviors. So, remember to stay grounded, flexible, and balanced by including attention to joy, and other personal matters, too.
“When in doubt, choose the kids. There will be plenty of time later to choose work.”
Anna Quindlen
This month is an ideal time for implementing smart strategies. Start by taking inventory of all that is going on in your life. Remember that your time is your life, so prioritize your calendar to reflect what you most value.
“The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.”
Michael Altshuler
At its best, Capricorn is about finding effective ways to accomplish what matters. Remember that handling your responsibilities with emotional maturity, courage, and grace is the core component in successfully attaining what you seek. This period is ideal for sensible and methodical approaches to reach your lasting success and fulfillment.
“Self-belief and hard work will always earn you success.”
Virat Kohli
The CAPRICORN new moon can enhance our efforts toward self improvement. This time of year is known for renewing our interest in personal development as well as professional goals. (Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to find out where this new moon will most likely affect YOU). Remember life becomes easier when we respect these themes, which also allows us to more fully connect with our deepest desires AND highest thoughts.
“If you keep working at it, if you keep moving forward, you will achieve what you want.”
Leigh Shulman
What is it that you most want to achieve? Your intention making energy is always powerfully increased during the new moon phase and it is a great time to envision all you want to become and bring into your life. Whatever your heart desires can most easily come to life now.
CAPRICORN questions to ask:
- What can I do to be more effective?
- Where can I inspire more responsible action?
-
How can I be a better example of success?
-
How can I better manage my daily schedule?
-
How can I stop any overly controlling tendencies?
-
What can I do to improve any inflexible or pessimistic views I hold?
Think about what you want most and get to it!
The moon in Capricorn connects with the Sun to bring us renewed energy and enthusiasm for having what we wish. This new energy can enhance your clarity and momentum toward realizing your dreams. Prioritize focusing on whatever brings you true fulfillment, especially those goals that promote your highest values and ideals.
Capricorn reminds us to maintain an attitude of responsibility, dedication, and stamina. Symbolized by the MOUNTAIN GOAT, it stands for one who will climb the highest peaks and quietly rise above others. Remember as you direct greater focus to your goals, you are also increasing your overall chance for success AND the likelihood that you will attain greater things . . . but sometimes you may really have to push yourself hard in your efforts, especially right before you reach the top.
“The difference between setting a goal and achieving it is in having a good plan and working it.”
Les Brown
Heads Up: The New Blessings and Cosmic Challenges Coming
The intuitive Moon joins the consciously aware Sun in Capricorn to set our attention on wisely managing our affairs now. But first, the Moon forms a favorable aspect with imaginative Neptune, to help inspire us to use our creativity and intuition effectively. Move past your fear and you may find insights and illuminating ideas coming more easily now.
“Envision, create, and believe in your own universe, and the universe will form around you.”
Tony Hsieh
New awareness about how much we are willing to endure for what we love may also come up now. This is the result of a provocative square between loving Venus and wounding Chiron. Ultimately, we are all navigating the fine line and must learn to discern between honorable versus foolish sacrifices.
“Be careful what you set your heart upon–for it will surely be yours.”
James Baldwin
The energy is right for major transformation in our institutions as well as in our own feelings. Because the emotional Moon is collaborating with transformative Pluto, whatever is no longer serving us must be changed. Interestingly enough, courtesy of the sign of Capricorn, the traditions that are working for our greatest good are favored to stay intact as any bad elements are corrected and updates are made.
Probably the most intense feeling will be the one of conflict between stubborn and impulsive action versus wiser and more disciplined approaches. Due to a powerful and provocative square between warrior Mars in Taurus and dutiful Saturn in Aquarius, challenges and power struggles can bring intense energy, fighting, and abusiveness. The best advice is to take a step back from conflict to plan and regroup as needed, so that you are always acting from a space of composure not from a place of emotional reactiveness. **Also please stay safe and steer clear of those who are aggressively rebelling now because they will be more likely to use destructive action to destroy everything and everyone they believe are in their way.**
“Caring–about people, about things, about life–is an act of maturity.”
Tracy McMillan
IMPORTANT SHAKE UPS AND SURPRISES
Relief is in store as soon as January 14th, when Uranus moves into direct motion after its five long months in retrograde. Since Uranus rules shake ups, shocks, and surprises, as well as our ability to handle the unexpected, this new direction will be generally more stabilizing. In other words, while you may have felt really ,caught off guard, stretched, and challenged to handle changes since last August, now you will likely feel more secure that whatever comes up can be handled.
Overall, it is our emotional and financial security matters which have been most affected. Due to Uranus being in Taurus, which rules worth, everything related to value (including self worth) may have seemed a bit upside down lately. Going forward for the next several months into August, you can expect an overall sense of more stability and normalcy as far as your ability to manage any sudden changes coming up during this period.

**CAPRICORN ENERGY WARNING**
Beware of misapplied or overused Capricorn energy, which can become negative. Avoid the shadow, which may show up as being stern, harsh, or rigid. Stay balanced and remember to have fun along the way, not just after the goals have been achieved.
While it is important to be serious and work hard, make sure your approach is reasonable and sensitive to those helping you. Be sure to avoid Capricorn’s weaknesses of becoming controlling, bossy or tyrannical. Authority comes with responsibility and includes being a good role model and guide.

New Moon Intentions and Vision Boards for CAPRICORN
The new moon is your best opportunity to plant new seeds for what you want to cultivate and attract in your life. Use the energy boost of the new moon within the first few days of the new moon cycle for maximum effectiveness. In honor of the sign of CAPRICORN, be more deliberate and serious about the planning stage before you take any action. Focus on your highest intentions, and make sure to use positive words and vivid envisioning to picture what you most want to come into your life now.
The new moon is the ideal time to focus and set your purposeful intentions. Whether you write them in words, use photos, or draw images of your ideas, creating something original and personal to you is what makes it powerful. Vision boards are another proven method for establishing what you want to come to fruition and are used by many famous and highly successful people, like Oprah Winfrey, Jim Carrey, Beyonce, Tiffany Haddish and more.
“By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands—your own.”
Mark Victor Hansen
“You can create something that is pure genius, but you have to get your timing right.”
NEW MOON ALERT:
Whatever method you use, try to craft your intentions as soon as you can right AFTER the new moon is exact. Ideally, you want to finish writing them within the first day or two. In the USA, this year’s CAPRICORN NEW MOON is exact Tuesday, January 12th at 9:00pm Pacific, and on Wednesday, January 13th at 12:00 midnight Eastern Time.
How the CAPRICORN New Moon Affects Your Sign

“Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Retrograde (Rx) Report
The key retrograde in January is Uranus, which has been in retrograde for many months already and affects sudden changes that we don’t expect. Retrogrades mean a look back over what had already occurred before, and they encourage us to revisit, reflect, revise and repair matters in those areas that the planet rules. Whatever has happened recently is coming up for review and clarification in our lives, so if it went by too fast the first-time, don’t worry, you can watch the planetary replay soon, so-to-speak!
Certain activities are ill-advised, depending on the nature of the retrograde. Your own individual chart will also play an important role (and this is a great time to find out about any retrograde challenges and advantages within your own natal chart!) Here is the overview, so you can consider how these retrogrades may be affecting you now and in the upcoming weeks:
- Uranus Rx (continues until mid-January) bringing our attention to all the shake ups and surprises we have endured especially from the end of April 2020 thru August 2020. Uranus is a slow moving planet that affects whole generations. It also affects your personal mind-body-spirit well-being and how you integrate change in your life. The Uranus retrograde is considered an exceptional time to look at your spiritual development.
