The New Moon in Capricorn, Jan 13, 2012

The New Moon in Capricorn has a lot of company!

The Sun and Moon meet at 21 degrees Capricorn, joining Venus, Mercury and Pluto in the sign. Mars is in Aquarius, the other Saturn-ruled sign, so the emphasis on Saturn here is off the charts. (see Transit Watch – Stellium in Capricorn).

There is tremendous focus on Saturn / Capricorn energy in January, 2013. Mercury and Mars will be hard aspect to Saturn, but we’ll also have a large stellium in Capricorn for roughly 10 days between the 9th and the 19th.

This stellium will peak January 10-11, with the Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury and Pluto clustered in Capricorn. If you happen to be having your birthday at this time, most definitely check your solar return. The rest of us can expect tremulous focus on the affairs rules by the house or houses where the stellium falls in our chart. How you fare will be determined by how well you deal with Saturn energy.

If you’re willing to take responsibility and do the right thing and such, you’ll probably find yourself fairly well supported. If you’ve resisted pressure to mature in these ways, you may feel crushed, thwarted and frightened.

The stellium falls in my 12th house – service. I am committed (Capricorn) to service. I have been for most of my life so expect to have support (Capricorn) from the ethereal (12th), as opposed to being disabled, otherwise undone (12th) by fear and/or reality (Saturn).

• Where does the stellium in Capricorn fall in your chart?
• How do you feel about meeting your karma, in January?

New Moons are associated with new beginnings. We set our intentions are this time.

With all the focus on Saturn, an intention to “sleep more” or “deny more” is not at all appropriate.

You want to come up with something that incorporates discipline and commitment.

Here are some ideas for each of the houses:

• New Moon in the 1st house pressures you to lead, or perhaps grow up your physical appearance.
• New Moon in the 2nd house asks that you be responsible with money, or earn your self-esteem.
• New Moon in the 3rd house asks that you take responsibility for what you say, making sure your ideas have substance. You may also want to gossip less.
• New Moon in the 4th prompts you to take responsibly for your home and family. Go visit your Grandpa, bring more discipline into the home, even if this means keeping your home in good working order.
• New Moon in the 5th asks that you definite your creative self. How do you shine? Are you fulfilling this?
• New Moon in the 6th house indicates this is a good time to start a health regimen, or a commitment to working harder or helping more.
• New Moon in the 7th asks that you do right by others.
• New Moon in the 8th house is about taking responsibility for your pathology, and perhaps facing your fear of dying. Make a will and such!
• New Moon in the 9th asks that you define your beliefs, and perhaps grow them up. You might also commit to higher education of some kind.
• New Moon in the 10th marks you as an authority figure. You’re to set a good example for others/
• New Moon in the 11th has you take responsibility for manifesting your wishes, hopes and dreams, in reality. If you want it, don’t look at others to get it for you – this is your job!
• New Moon in the 12th asks you to learn about faith and being supported by the ethereal. Also, working with your dreams.
• The New Moon in Capricorn takes place at 21 degrees.
