As the New Moon in Capricorn on January 13 approaches, we find ourselves at the gateway of tremendous changes. Four planets, three in close conjunction, are in the cardinal earth sign of Capricorn. Three others, slow-moving Saturn and Jupiter, and inner, fast-moving planet Mercury are in Aquarius. The slow-moving Saturn and Jupiter are generational planets, meaning they carry the same energy for much longer periods of time--2 ½ years per sign for Saturn, a year for Jupiter. The cluster of heavenly bodies in both signs, indicate heavy elements of change are having a profound effect on whatever houses/areas of life they transit in your chart.
For Aries Ascendents, the 10th (life purpose/career) and 11th (friends, social contacts, institutional relationships) are being most affected.

Because the big line up, and the New Moon in Capricorn are moving through these two areas of your life, it is important to look at both to see how you are being motivated and encouraged to make major changes. Because of the upheaval in the world in which we live, the limitations and unparalleled upset with which each of us must cope, it is vital that we look at what areas of our own lives are being transformed and impacted by both inner and outer influences, developments, and needs.
Venus in Capricorn, just entered this sign. She will move through Capricorn over the next 23 days, after which she will enter Aquarius. Venus represents all things to do with beauty, love, harmony, and romance. It signifies the way in which you love and value life and love. Venus will conjunct the Sun, the Moon, and Pluto over the next month.
New Moon in Capricorn conjunct the Sun and Pluto. A new path opens before you now, and it will be the culmination of a number of years of chance, transition, upheaval, and transformation in this particular area of life. Life will change in major ways on some level, and you will walk away from what has been outgrown, lost, transformed, and died. You will be rethinking many things about how you live and where you live. This aspect makes us become a bit restless and very intense. So deeply that we cannot help but break away from the past to find what draws us forward to a more meaningful life.
Sun in Capricorn, conjunct a New Moon brings with it ambition and an intense urge for change. This has the opposite effect of a retrograd. Full speed ahead. Change or the desire for change, is intensified, and we find ourselves preparing emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually to charge our soul-filled sense of meaning for life, into a form and into action that expresses our highest good. Notice what and where in your life you long to live out more of your life purpose and start creating some plans or acting on the ones you’ve been building for a while.
Saturn, Jupiter, and Mercury in Aquarius all indicate where the change has already begun. Notice how the movement of the Sun, Moon, and Pluto may be moving you closer to your goals. are both powerful planets. They bring action, surprises, and movement. Both are still conjunct in Taurus
Mars and Uranus are conjunct in Taurus. Both are planets of action, change, and heavily influence this New Moon. Uranus is stationary from its retrograde cycle, and goes direct the day after the New Moon, January 24. This eases things with finances. Next week, on the 19th, Mars and Uranus form squares to Saturn and Jupiter, and the public will demand changes that bring greater security and this will provide even greater financial security.
The Mars-Uranus conjunction become exact on the day Joseph Biden and Kamala Harris take office on January 20.The New Moon that is building for January 12-13 (Tuesday 9:00 p.m. PST/Wednesday 12:00 a.m.EST) ends one major cycle and begins a new one. The impact of this New Moon will be felt and experienced for the next year. It’s intense with 6 squares (push to move/change and 4 conjunctions (heavy emphasis, intensified experience). It’s a point of grave crisis, which I don’t think we can fail but see even without understanding astrological implications.
Frustration, tension, and conflict is building, however Venus’ trine to Mars-Uranus helps relieve some of that tension. As we face intense challenges, we have the opportunity to grow and develop by facing the challenges and making the necessary changes for coping with them. This is both a collective and personal time for soul growth and development.
Take heart, keep the faith, take care of yourselves, and we will right the ship and make our way through the darkness into the Light.
