New Moon in Capricorn


A New Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon both occupy the same degree of the same sign at the same time. As you can see from the chart above both the Sun and Moon are transiting 1° Capricorn making this a new Moon.  With  a grouping of five planets transiting through Capricorn (called a stellium) there is a lot of energy pouring into Capricorn giving it more strength and power. 

A New Moon bring new possibilities. When the New Moon is in Capricorn people begin to focus more on their career and they become more ambitious, disciplined, and hard-working.  They may be more concerned with advancing in their chosen profession. They may meet with a boss or mentor for some kind of end-of-year review with the hopes of more responsibility, more power, and more money. They may also work on their long term goals. If it seems that their current job cannot satisfy their ambitions, they may consider a new job or life direction in general.  

Where Capricorn falls in your chart is the area of life where you will feel more ambitious, disciplined and hardworking. 

  • If your rising sign is Aries, Capricorn is your 10th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Taurus, Capricorn is your 9th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Gemini, Capricorn is your 8th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Cancer, Capricorn is your 7th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Leo, Capricorn is your 6th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Virgo, Capricorn is your 5th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Libra, Capricorn is your 4th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Scorpio, Capricorn is your 3rd House. 
  • If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Capricorn is your 2nd House. 
  • If your rising sign is Capricorn, Capricorn is your 1st House. 
  • If your rising sign is Aquarius, Capricorn is your 12th house.
  • If your rising sign is Pisces, Capricorn is your 11th House. 

Example: 

New Moon + Capricorn + 3rd House 

When the New Moon is in Capricorn and the 3rd House, you become more ambitious and disciplined about communicating with others. This is a good time to network with others and so you'll have more exchanging with others through electronics means such as emails, text messages, phone calls, etc.... You ability to absorb, gather, and organize information is accentuated which allows you to get more organized and be more efficient. You tend to make decisions quicker now and they are usually the right ones.  You may even get involved in your community.

Sun in Capricorn (Winter Solstice)

 


Sun in Capricorn 
12/21/22 1:48 PM 
Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

Sun in Capricorn (General)
The Sun enters Capricorn tonight announcing heralding the Winter Solstice and therefore the beginning of Winter.  Perhaps it should not surprise you, dear reader, then that when the Sun enters Capricorn people become colder - both figuratively and literally. With another year almost behind them, people may feel older, and more responsible. They may settle into a more practical mood or mindset and turn their attention and interest to their financial affairs, set new responsibilities for themselves, and become more determined.
As you can see from the chart above The Sun and Jupiter are about 4 degrees apart and therefore applying a conjunction between the two planets.  The expansive energy of Jupiter amplifies the confidence, creativity, and power of the Sun. For the short time this aspect is active, people may feel more confident and so this is also a good time to start something new or to accept new opportunities and make the best of them.
Where Capricorn falls in your chart is the area of life where the ingress of the Sun in Capricorn will most be felt.
  • If your rising sign is Aries, Capricorn is your 10th House.
  • If your rising sign is Taurus, Capricorn is your 9th House.
  • If your rising sign is Gemini, Capricorn is your 8th House.
  • If your rising sign is Cancer, Capricorn is your 7th House.
  • If your rising sign is Leo, Capricorn is your 6th House.
  • If your rising sign is Virgo, Capricorn is your 5th House.
  • If your rising sign is Libra, Capricorn is your 4th House.
  • If your rising sign is Scorpio, Capricorn is your 3rd House.
  • If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Capricorn is your 2nd House.
  • If your rising sign is Capricorn, Capricorn is your 1st House.
  • If your rising sign is Aquarius, Capricorn is your 12th house.
  • If your rising sign is Pisces, Capricorn is your 11th House.
Example
The Sun + Capricorn + 3rd House
With the Sun in Capricorn and the third house of communication, siblings, and short journeys you become more disciplined and responsible in  the way in which you communicate with others.  Your mind if more active and overflowing with thoughts and ideas and that energy of Capricorn helps you to sort through them in a more systematic and disciplined manner.
The Aspects, or relationship between planets is another dimensions of astrological interpretation that is to be considered. I've already touched upon the aspects in the transit chart above, however, one should also look at the aspects between the planets in the transit chart and those in one's birth chart. For example, The Sun in 0° Capricorn is applying an opposition to Saturn in 3° Cancer.
Saturn is called the Great Teacher and when he touches another point or position in your chart you are presented with a lesson designed to help you grow, mature and evolve. Unfortunately, these lessons often come in the form of some kind of challenge or difficulty that we must overcome. When the Transit Sun makes an opposition to Natal Saturn you experience blockages and obstacles that present a blow to your ego. This is a time to strive for making better decisions an living more responsibly.

Jupiter in Aries

 


Jupiter in Aries 
12/20/22 6:33 AM 
Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

Jupiter in Aries (General) 

Jupiter is the planet of growth and expansion. Wherever Jupiter is found in the chart, those qualities associated with the sign and house it occupies is expanded. With Jupiter in Aries, people are more opinionated, more aggressive, and more headstrong. Jupiter is also associated with luck, so being opinionated, aggressive, and headstrong generally tends to work out well for the individual. People tend to think big, and to have big dreams and goals. Luck comes to the person when they are an active force in their own life and initiate circumstances. 

How Jupiter in Aries Affects You 

I expand who I am 

Jupiter in Aries can manifest as bigger personalities, bigger dreams, and bigger goals. In addition, the house that the planet transits will determine where this energy will manifest in your life. In order to determine the house that Jupiter in Aries is transiting you look at your birth chart and determine what house aligns with Aries. For example. 

  • If your rising sign is Aries, Aries is your 1st  House  
  • If your rising sign is Taurus, Aries is your 12th House 
  • If your rising sign is Gemini, Aries is your 11th House
  • If your rising sign is Cancer, Aries is your 10th House 
  • If your rising sign is Leo, Aries is your 9th House
  • If your rising sign is Virgo, Aries is your 8th House
  • If your rising sign is Libra, Aries is your 7th House 
  • If your rising sign is Scorpio, Aries is your 6th House 
  • If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Aries is your 5th House
  • If your rising sign is Capricorn, Aries is your 4th House 
  • If your rising sign is Aquarius, Aries is your 3rd House 
  • If your rising sign is Pisces, Aries is your 2nd House

Example 

Jupiter + Aries + 6th House 

Using our keyword system, Jupiter in Aries and the 6th house translates to I expand who I am in the area of work. What this means is that the desire to grow, to do better, and to be better manifest through the work that we do (i.e. your job). You may have big ideas and dreams about improving your work, being more efficient, and being more of service to others. 

Aspects 

Aspects refer to the relationships between planets which are determined by how close or far apart they are. Let us suppose that you have Saturn at 03° Cancer. This would mean that your Natal Saturn is Square (hard aspect) to Transit Jupiter. With this placement, effort to grow is more challenging. You freedom may be more restricted and you will have to show more discipline in order to affect any positive change. The best way to use this energy is to tone down your efforts and try to make small, effective changes, instead of large one.

Venus in Capricorn

 


Venus in Capricorn 
12/9/22 7:54 PM 
Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

Venus in Capricorn (General) 

When Venus is in Capricorn, people can be more cold, distant, and conservative. They are more ambitious, professional, responsible and formal. With Venus passing through the earthy- cardinal sector of the chart that rules over career, ambition, and profession you may find love and friendship activities melding with career ones. With the holidays coming up, this can translate to office thanksgiving parties or celebrations, important lunches or dinners with the boss and / or coworkers.  This is a time to relax a little but not too much. There is a need to walk the fine line between being friendly and social but still keep it professional.  


Where Capricorn falls in your natal chart is the area of life where Venus in Capricorn will most be felt.
 
  • If your rising sign is Aries, Capricorn is your 10th house. 
  • If your rising sign is Taurus, Capricorn is your 9th house. 
  • If your rising sign is Gemini, Capricorn is your 8th house. 
  • If your rising sign is Cancer, Capricorn is your 7th house. 
  • If your rising sign is Leo, Capricorn is your 6th house. 
  • If your rising sign is Virgo, Capricorn is your 5th house. 
  • If your rising sign is Libra, Capricorn is your 4th house 
  • If your rising sign is Scorpio, Capricorn is your 3rd house. 
  • If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Capricorn is your 2nd house. 
  • If your rising sign is Capricorn, Capricorn is your 1st house. 
  • If your rising sign is Aquarius, Capricorn is your 12th house. 
  • If your rising sign is Pisces, Capricorn is your 11th house. 


Example 

Venus + Capricorn + 3rd House 

When Venus is in Capricorn and the 3rd house of communication, siblings, and long journeys you could appear colder and more distant, or formal, in your communications with others. However, you are also able to turn on the charm in order to get your point across and get what you want from others. Venus being the planet of love in the 3rd house (ruled by Gemini, the Twins) can also point to the possibility of a love triangle forming. Since Capricorn rules one's career, you could find yourself torn between your career and your love, or you could be town between two people that you meet at work, while traveling, or through a sibling.

Full Moon in 16° Gemini

 


Full Moon in 16° Gemini 
12/7/22 8:08 PM 
Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

A full moon occurs when both the Sun and the Moon occupy the same degree of opposite signs at the same time. As you can see from the above Full Moon Chart, the Sun is in 16° Sagittarius and the Moon is 180° away in 16° Gemini making this a Full Moon. 

The Big Picture 

The Full moon occurs when the Sun and Moon are in opposition. An opposition is a type of aspect in which two planets are 180° apart. They are divided and struggling to pull away from one another and each feels that the lack control over the situation. The Moon is transiting the area of our chart associated with our community, our neighbors and siblings while the Sun is occupying the area of the chart dealing with foreign people, places, and ideas. So we have a divide here between "us" and "them". 

Whereas New Moons bring something new into our lives, such as a new person, a new opportunity, or a new challenge; a Full Moon brings a completion or an end to something. A Full Moon in Gemini and the 3rd House can indicate the end of a feud with a neighbor, or a rivalry with a sibling resulting in a reconciliation. Issues of communicating effectively with others may also arise. In general this is a good time for clearing up misunderstanding with people and explaining how you feel more directly and clearly. Moreover, this is a good time to have a long overdue conversation with someone that you have been putting off. 

How to Work With Full Moon in Gemini Energy 

  • the mantra for Gemini is I THINK, so stop and think before you speak (or write). 
  • work on your written and verbal communication skills; avoid any language or tone that could be misconstrued. 
  • don't assume people "read between the lines" or understand, go the extra mile to clarify. 
  • clear up any misunderstanding that you  have had with others. 
  • get to know your neighbors 
  • check in with your siblings 
  • try to exercise more adaptability, open-mindedness, and versatility especially about anyone or anything that seems different or foreign. 
  • get involved with a neighborhood or community effort. 

The Personal Touch 

To better understand how the Full Moon in Gemini will have an affect of you, you need to look at the natal house where 16° Gemini falls in your chart. For example, in my birth chart 16° Gemini aligns with my eighth house of transformation and shared resources. Knowing that the Sun and Moon are 180° apart on this date and time, that would put the Sun in 16° Sagittarius in my second house of money, material possessions, and personal values. 

For me, this would indicate that some type of deep transformation is to be expected. Regeneration and renewal comes through releasing or letting go of blockages related to the idea of "what is ours" vs. "what is mine" or what I value vs. what others value. Issues related to physical intimacy and trust may also need to be addressed.
