20° Capricorn 44'
3:57 AM PST / 6:57 AM EST

January 11, 2024 — On Thursday, the first New Moon of the New Year forms in Capricorn—offering us a true initiation for 2024. This lunation forms an exact square to the nodes while in wide conjunction to Pluto at the final degree of Capricorn. We can now ground and exert discipline, finding ways to embody strength and integrity as we release outmoded cycles of suffering and the last remnants of our former selves.

Pluto moves into Aquarius in less than ten days, and we are standing at the edge of great change. Truth and perseverance are key. How can we see ourselves and the world with fierce honesty, transforming the pain of our past into future wisdom?

Mars in Capricorn is trining Jupiter in Taurus, exact on January 12. We are now blessed with integrity, confidence, quiet joy, and the deep knowing that we will accomplish whatever we focus on this year. We can take this opportunity to begin good habits that will support us in the rapid expansion that is yet to come.

This is a quiet month when we are testing ourselves and our resolve—learning what works and what doesn’t in supporting our paths forward. Epic shifts are on the horizon. Do we have solid foundations to stand on, firm anchors within ourselves that can hold us steady through storms of liberation?

CAPRICORN New Moon Aspiration

On this Capricorn New Moon, may we gather strength and perseverance, releasing outworn patterns with the utmost courage. With quiet resolve, may we embrace change, trusting in the simplicity of our bodies and our connections to Earth as they prepare us for jolts of awakening.
