Around this time of year, you’re probably asking yourself—what will I make happen in 2025? A common theme for most is to reflect on what occurred over the last 12 months and create rigid resolutions for the following year. Of course, those rigid resolutions often take just a few weeks to drift off into obscurity. However, the new moon in Capricorn on December 30 is the perfect time to manifest those resolutions into reality.
To have two new moons in one month is a treat, especially considering we are starting and ending the month with new moons. The new moon at the top of the month likely felt funky to most, with various planetary retrogrades. Still, thankfully, we get another opportunity to start something new and invite change into our lives. The shift, however, will require us to put in some work. That is the lesson of Capricorn, after all: learning how to create structures and solidify experiences so you aren’t haphazardly throwing things at a dart board and hoping they will stick.
The Capricorn new moon is a fabulous time for blaring an empowering song like “Boss Bitch” by Doja Cat. The universe is asking you to level up and rise to the challenge of putting forth the effort to make your dreams a reality. The focus should be on working toward practical and attainable goals—goals that feel mature and require that you take on more responsibilities. You’re going to have to commit to yourself to make your dreams a reality.
Capricorn is the traditional archetype of the father, so you might find that new ways to “parent” others are part of this new moon journey for you. This could manifest as a long-awaited pregnancy or perhaps the opportunity to solidify your reputation as an expert in your field by being able to share your wisdom with the next generation. It all ties back into the theme of legacy building, which Capricorn loves oh so much. How will you start solidifying your legacy and making sure you are proud of what you leave behind in this world?
This new moon is ruled by Saturn, only furthering the need to work to make your dreams a reality. With Saturn currently in Pisces, you’ll probably find that dissolving old ways of working and exploring new habits that balance your rational mind and emotional needs will be the best way to attain your goals. Think of it this way: if your dream is to be a ballerina because of a need to express yourself through movement, will you spend your days just watching people dance, hoping you’ll refine your skills, or will you take a class and get right in front of the studio mirror?
Over the next six months, you will see how to balance reality with your deepest fantasies. The connection between the moon in Capricorn and Saturn in Pisces reminds us that it is okay to be a bit grandiose occasionally, just as long as you know you are shooting for a pie-in-the-sky idea. Be careful to overthink and jump to conclusions during (and after) this new moon. With Saturn squaring Mercury while you’re manifesting your millions, you’ll have to ask yourself, “How can I balance my impulse to jump right into things with the need to be strategic about my approach?”
Any Capricorn new moon is like walking into a new job with new responsibilities and new co-workers. Though on paper, a new job is a fresh start, and you can, in theory, leave your past in the past—there is sometimes a lingering thought of “what if it’s the same as it was last time?” The new moon might feel similar. With squares to both Chiron (the asteroid of wounds) and the North Node (point of destiny), the question of whether past habits and accidental missteps will occur again sits in our collective mind. Are you willing to rise to the challenge despite wounds from the past? Can you learn from mistakes if your youth and embrace a more mature approach, even if it is less fun? Anytime we have squares to these two celestial points, we are challenged not to let fears or comfort zones impede the progress we hope to make.
This new moon is the perfect way to close the year. When making your New Year’s resolutions, make sure that they are coupled with a game plan of how you will tackle them. Be strategic, realistic, and open-minded about accomplishing your goals. The Capricorn new moon is all about building new systems of working, so if it’s not broken you don’t have to fix it—but you sure as hell can explore whether there’s a more effective strategy.
Make sure to read for your rising sign to get the most accurate insight on how to build yourself up. Happy holidays, and may 2025 bring you all the blessings you seek.
