If you lack motivation or are just getting out of the fog of this past holiday season, I've got good news for you. This new moon will catalyze you to power up your 2024 resolutions. Think of Capricorn season as the guiding force for you to become ambitious while holding onto a dash of humility. Remember when Mercury retrograde happened last month?

There is a lot of planetary action happening in the skies on this day, and the good news is these planets are fully supportive and magical for this lunation to be supportive.

Let's dive deep and see what is in store for you.
What's Happening in the Skies during the New Moon in Capricorn?
- Moon conjunct Pluto
- Moon conjunct Part of Fortune
- Moon square North Node
- Moon sextile Uranus
- Venus trine Chiron
- Mars trine Jupiter
- Saturn sextile Jupiter
As a part of the new moon event, this will require you to let go of what is weighing you down the most. This has been a recurring theme with the last few new and full moons because Pluto has been taking the main stage. Today, you will see the clearest of what needs to be done to expedite the changes in your life. With the new moon in alignment with Pluto, this will be the stepping stone in you seeing clearly what needs to be released. New moons are the cosmic source for you to plant seeds and manifest, but the part most often overlooked in these practices is that it requires letting go. Pluto will be on your side as it will help you cleanse your mental, spiritual, and physical space to make room for your desired shifts. But this requires you to work hard, or this involves you to make a significant decision. Pluto requires an edge of sacrifice. Even though it may feel scary, think of this as an opportunity for you to rewrite your story (like the song "Unwritten").
There will be a stroke of luck in alignment with this new moon as the point in the chart known as Part of Fortune will grant grace to your next steps. This takes unwavering optimism and courage on your part to support your venture. You will see a sliver of promise and even an outrageous idea, but it seems to work as you lean toward it with trust and belief. Just go with it.
The new moon will also intensify as it faces off the North Node, the guiding light in our dharmic path and, as I call it, the uncharted territory in your life. These two cosmic forces will feel like a pressure cooker, which will involve reviewing security and taking ownership of your life. Saturn, the moon sign ruler, in a supportive position with Jupiter, will reveal the solution for you while helping you feel grounded in alignment with your next move. You do you.
The new moon in Capricorn will encourage you to pay attention to your dream life or goals while helping you understand what is required to see it take root. Guess what? You will receive a boost of inspiration and channel in your ability to invite your desired goals with the Moon and Uranus in a supportive position. Uranus will enable you to become original, embrace the idea of liberation, and learn how to become detached from the outcome. Enjoy the process and become the artist of your life. Becoming open to change will help you be in the right place and time. Chance encounters or synchronistic events on this day will likely happen as you become receptive to the Universe's message.
Finally, there is a message for you regarding your love life during this cosmic event. The love and sex planets Venus and Mars will play an integral part during this new moon. The great news is that if you are contemplating rekindling the fires of your relationship, this will heal your love story. Lamenting on past losses will only hold you back from experiencing personal growth and strength. Investing in yourself by going through inner work with love will allow you to attract meaningful connections that result in harmony and restoration. This new moon will also breathe life into your will to achieve your love goals. Single or taken, you will feel a pull to initiate spice into your love life. It can be by designating date nights or going to more singles mixers to boost your chances of meeting bae. The new moon in Capricorn promises an outlet of powerful changes in love as you stray from settling-get off that couch and begin to chart out your ideal love life. This time around, the magic will begin.
