Our last new moon of 2024 is contemplative; internalising events for inner growth. Capricorn is the cosmic glue that perseveres under extreme pressure and gains immense wisdom from challenges. Cap reminds us of reality - how things REALLY are. You must earn to pay your way in life. All relationships will test your ability to compromise and of course (the favourite) - waiting only sweetens the prize.
The association with 'time', signals that a human life is precious and finite. We all age and we all experience the daily shifting of time in our minds, bodies and opportunities. All good things can be savoured, and indeed should be, but the pleasure is often repressed with Cap as it favours hard work (working your fingers to the bone. Bone = Cap).
This energy can be channelled into reviewing the year and setting resolutions for the next. Ideal for any long-term projects like a course of study, a business venture, marriage or house build.
We may reflect on our conditioned behaviours, what society accepts, whether we 'fit' with the main stream. Noting where we have become overly rigid or cautious.
Capricorn invites us to be responsible, to grow through adversity... to parent, to delay gratification and to age like fine wine.
The shadow side of Capricorn
Old man time can be holy depressing, sour, grinchy and offer up reality like a gift from hell.
Delays, blocks, obstacles and responsibilities pile up like metaphorical 'hurdles', leading Cap to either weep with anger or thrive in tenacity. A lack of ease can stifle joy and too much reality can, well, stifle any dreamy potentials.
Cap can be the proverbial spade that smacks you in the face time and time again, until you don't even feel it anymore. It's a grey day, full of cloud and zero sunshine.
Cap marries for money, position and logic. It remains marriage to retain the 'image' of perfection. More often dying inside while smiling falsely.
Time waits for no man, so plan your time well!
The trick with Cap is to plan the work and ensure a valuable goal. Expect twists. Enjoy the journey (come on, there must be a dark smirk in their somewhere!)
Ruler Saturn in Pisces
Rule Saturn is in a sextile aspect of opportunity. The opportunity? To dissolve that shitty programming, the stuffy conditioning, the 'marry for money' ickyness - basically all of that outworn stuff that does not serve you any more. With Pisces, you can wash it away and reveal a new you.
Yod pattern with the Sun/Moon at 9 degrees Cap, Mars at 2 degrees Leo and Jupiter at 13 degrees Gemini
The infamous 'finger of God' is a astrological power move. Two quincunxes (150 degrees) and a sextile (60), making a slender-tipped triangle. There is unease with Mars and Jupiter, yet the sextile between them can be a positive opportunity to resolve the tension.
