New Capricorn Moon with Wendy Groomes*

The New Moon in Capricorn is Thursday, December 26, 2019

We have numerous planets now in Capricorn, as we build up to the Solstice (December 21/22, depending on locale) and the New Moon Solar Eclipse on December 26th.

Capricorn is Earth, Feminine/Yin. As we step into winter in the northern hemisphere, this is a time to be inward and rest as much as possible to restore the inner yin and Kidney chi. If you can find a Tai Chi or Qi Gong class in your area, it is a wonderful way to nourish and build (Capricorn) your inner resources, as well as the physical body strength–muscles and bones (Capricorn rules the bones).

Eclipses are windows in time, where endings and beginnings occur that are fated.

A New Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon meet in the exact time and space location/degree–what we call a conjunction in astrology.

The Sun represents soul purpose; the Moon reflects our emotional makeup.

With both Sun and Moon currently next to Jupiter (the amplification planet) everything is bigger, in addition to a heightened Eclipse energy, we’ll be highly attuned and sensitive for addressing our practical needs and anything that needs solid footing or foundations, particularly in sync with our soul’s directives.

This partial Solar Eclipse initiates us into 2020 with a clear grasp of what foundations we need to lay to foster our dreams and visions into physical time and space. This New Moon is further supported by its trine to Uranus in Taurus (earth changes, definite change in weather patterns, surprising new ways or even eccentric means towards getting our needs met – financially and physically). With all these earth planets in action we can now take the visions we’ve had all of 2019 (numerology 3 – year of creativity) and put them into practical application.

Capricorn is all about practical stewardship of anything (our lives, a business, a community). Coupled with moving into the numerology of 4 in 2020 (down to brass tack basics, conscientiousness, responsibility, firm footing and solid foundations), we will all be embracing the basic realities of Capricorn and how we navigate this archetype. There is the consensus reality – mainly patriarchal, and a sovereign reality – empowered consciousness. No astrologer ever says Capricorn is easy, though it’s all in how one navigates (ancient Capricorn is the Seagoat, so we do have rudders to assist in this time – more next Podcast about this!).

The merging of Saturn and Pluto on January 12th, just after the Lunar Eclipse on the 10th, marks significant endings and beginnings on personal and global scale. The archetypes of Saturn/Pluto together can be described as constrained explosion, or an implosion of structures that do not pass the test of time, or are false or superficial, lacking strength and truthfulness. Pluto is volcanic fire and any shaky foundations won’t hold up to its power. Pressure (Saturn) will increase and match Pluto’s deep velocity. The last conjunct of Saturn/Pluto was 1982 that brought a recession. And the one previous 1914 (which was a triple conjunction not to occur again until 2053) brought WWI.Spiritually speaking, because of the planetary merging of these two “malefics,” on the cusp of the coming Lunar Eclipse, this is a time to be in prayer and meditation, to be in practice to help lift up your own soul/life – as well as the collective.

Sending you All Solstice Light and Love,
Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, and Happy New Year!
