The Capricorn New Moon, the last new moon of 2024, is upon us, giving us a chance to shine a proverbial light into the future under the pure potential of a dark sky.
When is the new moon in Capricorn?
On December 30, 2024, at 5:27 PM ET, the final New Moon of 2024 will arrive at 9 degrees of Capricorn.
Astrologer Letao Wang told The Post, “This is the last new moon in Capricorn and the last chance to take advantage of successful Capricorn vibrations until 2026!
In 2025, there will be no new moon in Capricorn at all, adding an air of exclusivity and importance to this celestial event. Make the most of the cosmic energy available to you during this time.”
The meaning of the new moon
A new moon occurs when the moon is in conjunction with the sun and is no longer visible from our perspective on Earth. As such, the new moon always falls in the same zodiac sign that the sun is currently moving through.
When these two bodies match in sign, it is an opportunity to appreciate and progress.
This week, that opportunity takes shape in the enterprising sign of the capricorn, where reaching for the top meets pragmatism and a love of acquired earthly pleasures.
Where grinding gives way to gold if you will.
The new moon is like a clean slate, returning the fresh dirt and blank page of a month-long lunar cycle. The sky darkens and we enter, imagining our future at the point before creation was conceived.
There is never a more appropriate time to take what can be into existence than under the influence of strategy like Capricorn poetry.
New Moon in the meaning of Capricorn
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, the great teacher who gives and takes, but who does neither without a bigger game at hand.
Capricorn understands that it is worth the wait and illustrates through its steady ascension the undeniable power of a plan.
Under this new moon, that plan can be as simple as acknowledging what you want or want to change, giving the desire the gravity it deserves and letting the cardinal forces fall in line to support you.
Capricorn invests only when it is sure of profit. We can all learn a little from this approach and channel our energies, attention and proverbial eggs towards the ultimate benefit basket.
“Perhaps you are looking among the branches for what appears only at the root.”
George Ivanovich Gurdjieff
Wang says, “While aligned with Capricorn energy, we are driven to set realistic goals and work diligently to achieve them. Capricorn’s influence empowers us to embrace responsibility, structure and long-term planning, making this new moon an opportune time to lay the foundation for future success.”
In accordance with the morality of his sign and the energy of this full moon, the philosopher, mystic and double Capricorn George Ivanovich Gurdjieff supported: “Perhaps you are looking among the branches for what appears only at the root.”
Dig in, show yourself.
Planets in the game
The New Moon in Cap will form a sextile with Saturn, which is currently treading water in the gin of the Pisces bathtub.
Wang shares, “Saturn’s influence brings structure, discipline and wisdom to this new moon. It is a guiding force, reminding us of the importance of persistence and patience as we work towards our goals. This alignment presents us with opportunities and blessings rooted in long-term success, serious commitment, and personal transformation.”
The lesson of this moon is to start small and work your way up, create your own shape based on how you want to feel in the long run. Remember that we must have the container before we can fill it.
This new moon = disciplined dreaming.
As Wang explains, the energy of Saturn and the dedicated nature of Capricorn conspire to help us close and fill up as the new year dawns, “As we gather under the glow of this powerful new moon, let us reflect on our aspirations for next year, set realistic and achievable goals and commit to the disciplined actions necessary to manifest our dreams.”
As the new moon falls in a cardinal sign, it will be most influential for those with major placements in Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra.
