NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN 26 degrees: ENERGY FORECAST
A New Moon in the sign of Capricorn will take place on January 16th, 2017. New Moons are a door opening from the Universe. YOU must lay seeds in this area of life AFTER it appears, depending on your sign (and rising sign) to receive the greatest change. The power of this New Moon lasts 9-12 days. The actions you take from January 16th – January 28th will likely come to fruition by June 28th, 2018 (plus or minus four days) depending on the success of your initial plans.
EARTH AND WATER: A TIME OF POWER.
A prominent theme over the next few years, particularly emphasized within 2018, will be the movement of major planets into Earth and Water signs. For all Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) and Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), you will be most blessed of all, and see significant changes in your life over the coming years in profound and permanent ways. The Universe is shifting this way because it is time we as a people learn to further grow, as earth and water blend together to bear fruit. This also will affect you quite significantly if you have an Earth or Water Ascendent/Rising sign.
CAPRICORN ENERGY WILL DEMAND YOU STEP UP - NOW.
We will begin to see this newfound energy within this New Moon, as a vast amount of the planets will be in Capricorn, the sign where the New Moon falls. The Sun (energy, vitality, focus), the Moon (emotions, unconscious), Mercury (the mind, communication, business), Venus (love, beauty, relationships), Pluto (power, control, extremes) and Saturn (responsibility, corporations, authority, time) will all be exerting a major focus in the Earthy, practical sign of Capricorn, forcing us to look at things from a long-term perspective. For individuals, as well as the world at large, we will be seeing attention being drawn to hard work, building things that will last (business, relationships, politics, environment, economics, science), and sticking our feet into the ground to climb to where we want to be. This will not be easy, but the thing that Capricorn teaches us is that we must be slow and steady to rise to the top of the mountain.
KARMA WILL TEST YOU, BUT GIVE YOU THE TOOLS TO GROW.
Jupiter (luck, expansion, fortune) and Mars (power, passion, sexuality, aggression) reside within Scorpio, blessing this New Moon with vibrations of pure, energetic fuel, while Neptune (dreams, mysticism, magic) resides within Pisces and will be bringing a taste of sweetness, fantasy, and imagination to this New Moon, as well, expanding our horizons as to how far we can see. Because so many planets are blending their energies so harmoniously (in astrology, they’re called trines, creating a triangle in the stars), this New Moon carries a karmic energy that will affect each person depending on where it’s power falls. We will all be very busy trying to handle what the Universe is sending us, so even if tension arises, responsibilities well up, or we feel pressure – the Universe is giving us a learning curve for us to grow, and grow we must. But with the blessings of the planets, we are also being given the tools and a road map to rise.
ARIES
This New Moon will help lay a pattern of success in your career for you that will last six months to a year. Send resumes. No updated resume yet? Do it now. And make sure you make a list of some top candidates you want to apply to. Search out anyone and anything that can improve your power, public recognition, and status in your life. Sometimes, this even means aligning yourself with people or partners in order to create united power. If you want a public marriage, relationship, or business engagement, this would be the time to lay that forward now. Good luck.
TAURUS
Grow your mind, expand your horizons, and travel are open roads to you now. Academics, spirituality, and media (public relations, publication, television, writing of all sorts but on a very large scale) can be blessings to you. Find ways to better yourself by looking at how you are connected to the greater world. Join groups. Fine tune skills. Find mentors. Ask for help. This is a pivotal moment to get your life together before you are about to ramp up to career momentum at the next New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius, on February 15th, 2018. New experiences are awaiting you, powerful Taurus, so buckle up and get ready for the ride. You’re going to flourish.
GEMINI
Anything to do with deep union is in focus. Loans. Joint bank accounts and businesses. Combined projects and ownership. Sexuality, especially when it is not in balance. Secrets. Things that are not equal. This will be a time where you can forge stronger unions and start new ones. Money is likely to be in focus for many of you. The biggest thing you'll be thinking about is: what do you owe me? What do I owe you? Make sure that you open yourself to deeper connections and to giving and receiving in more fulfilling ways. However, do not take on more “debt” than you can give back – remember, balance in partnerships, however you establish them, is key.
CANCER
Partnerships. Business. Marriage. "Becoming official." Long-term friendships. Unions. You can be blessed with all. This is a good time to assess what you want in a serious partner and what you do not. Make a list. If you have a partner (in business or love), use this time to talk about taking your union to the next level and how you can compromise and work better together. If it’s not going to work, it may be time to let that relationship go. You will begin to see a great karmic test of all of your partnerships over the next three years since Saturn moved into your 7th House in December of 2017, and this will shatter any weak link in your life. However, stronger partnerships will then come in. For those of you who already have strong partnerships, they will only grow deeper and closer. Do not be afraid, be ready.
LEO
Work, work, work, work. It’s time to buckle down and get everything moving in motion. Use this time to amplify your work life. Ask for more projects from employers. If you're self-employed, advertise and get your name out there. Ask for referrals. If you work for a business, make sure you're being seen by your superiors. You'll also be focusing on your fitness and daily rhythm. How do you balance your work-life? Anything to do with fitness/health is also in focus: wanna lose weight? Kick that bad habit? Quit smoking? Get on a plan. Meet a doctor. Stop waiting. Do it now. If you want to get a new job, this would be a time to be rocking out those resumes. Use this time well. Grind. It’ll pay off.
VIRGO
Love, romance, fun, adventure, and creativity shine for you now. You'll be more attractive, so if you're single, get your face out there! Meet people. It's better to meet people through friends or socially rather than apps. Plan some events. Some of you may be moving and changing up your lifestyle. Embrace every ounce of change that is coming. You're worth it. Also, there may be a focus on art projects and you may feel more inspired than any times past. Embrace that muse. It was meant for you. If you have children, they may be taking focus for you.
LIBRA
The foundation of your life can change. The way you love yourself, self-love, as well as everything to do with family, home, your "chosen home/family," Mother/Father relationships, and anything to do with domestic matters will be apparent now. Jump on real estate if you can. Update your living space. Buy some new furniture, give a wall a fresh coat of paint, look for that perfect cooking set for you to entertain with. Being domestic is going to go well for you, now, so invite friends over or use this time to enjoy your home. Also, you’re going to be considering what truly makes you happy and if you have the things in your life you need, particularly self-respect and self-love. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: "Do I like myself? What do I truly need? What makes me happy? Am I on a path that is fulfilling emotionally?” Answer these questions truthfully.
SCORPIO
Get ready to expand all areas of communication. Focus on advertising, social media, grow your presence online or with people, and anything ruled by communication will flourish. Meet new people. Reach out to new contacts. Ask others for new contacts. Submit a resume. If you want a job in any of these areas listed, get it, because you can. Writing. Agencies. Contracts. It's all lighting up. The time is now. Lay the seeds.
SAGITTARIUS
Whether or not we want to love money, money is how we survive. Luckily for you, money seems to be about to come in – or ways to generate more of it. Increase your income by looking for better jobs or by asking for a raise. Show you're qualified. Update that resume. Also focus on the things you "own," especially your possessions. People are not possessions, but if you look at people in that way, make sure they're yours, dependent on you, and you will lock that down. What do you own? Make sure it's yours to stay -- because it can be. If you're looking to buy things, you're likely to have luck.
CAPRICORN
This New Moon is ALL ABOUT YOU, Capricorn, and that means you are in the spotlight. Use this time to evaluate who you are, what you want, and where you are going. You can utilize the power of this New Moon in any way you’d like, but it is the only New Moon to fall in your sign until next year. Use this time to analyze how you want to shine – and then go for it! Put yourself out there. Get a fresh new haircut, wardrobe, or style. Start that project that’s been on the backburner that you’ve always wanted to pursue. Become the person you were meant to be. If your birthday falls two days before or after January 16th, this will be a BIG year for you. It will be one with lots of new beginnings, new relationships, and you will see how this year marks a major change for your life. You may move to a new home or city or see a huge shift in your lifestyle and view of the world. This will also occur if you have 26 degrees Capricorn as an Ascendant/Rising Sign (+/- 4 degrees). Be ready! Here it comes.
AQUARIUS
All things that are hidden and growing will soon come to light for you. Your time is coming. Every dream, fire, desire, and focus is in your scope now. Things may come out that you've long hidden or things that have been hidden by other people, so be aware. This New Moon will "clear out" the past year, and get you ready to finally shine. Lay any seed you want to germinate slowly. It will need more time than most. Lay your biggest endeavors at the next New Moon, a Solar Eclipse, on February 15th, 2018, so use this time to release the past and let go of pain and enemies.
PISCES
Your dreams and aspirations, as well as friends, are heating up. What do you want long-term and how do you get it? Think about that vision you've always wanted. Make a plan. You're good at that. Create the steps. Make it possible. This can cover any area of life. However, you're about to heat up a lot of social fun, and you're likely to find these dreams align with new people you meet, so say YES to your social engagements and watch your coming year light up with stronger friendships and ferocity.
