Capricorn New Moon: Forecast 12/24/11

The moon is VOC* from 6:36 am to 8:47 am ET. Once it enters Capricorn, a sense of somber reflection may run underground during any holiday activities. This doesn’t necessarily put a damper on festivities, but you can be certain this is not a year for carefree celebration.

Nonetheless, there are many signs of calculated generosity and big messages coming through; although well-meant intentions may not be able to follow-through as planned. The New Moon occurs this Christmas Eve at 1:06 pm ET at 2° Capricorn 34”.

The Sabian symbol is “The human soul receptive to growth and understanding”. This dovetails beautifully with the energetic build-up over the past few days, encouraging new beginnings in spiritual awareness. A Capricorn New Moon encourages you to look at the surface purpose of your existence: career and finances. This may be an area of stress or satisfaction; regardless, it is an opportunity to evaluate what new direction you might want to move in this area of life. But the surface purpose is not necessarily harmonious with the seed.

When the moon is new, you can look at this to determine if what’s above ground mirrors what you have deep within you. If you’re highly successful but you are continually striving due to a sense of lack, now is the time to adjust that. If you’re unable to bring in the status and reward that you feel is your birth-rite, then it’s time to open up to new possibilities.

Wherever you are on the spectrum, the Capricorn New Moon offers a new starting line for obtaining a sense of renewed purpose, so that the surface reflects your inner spark.
*Moon VOC/Void-of-Course… in Sagittarius you may want to explore but don’t expect to find anything… keep your eye on the gas tank if you go for a long ramble.
