You can see in this New Moon chart - the Sun and Moon sandwiched almost exactly between Saturn (11 degrees) and Pluto (20 degrees) and right in the middle of serious Capricorn.
For our challenged Sun and Moon this looks like about as much fun as going to the dentist. Without novocaine. And just when you are finished and thinking to yourself "well, maybe that wasn't so bad", the dentist hits you in the face with a hammer. And then steals your wallet.
Hmmm.
Keep in mind the Capricorn New Moon is always challenging because, well it's CAPRICORN. We are planting seeds in a frozen ground, so we know we are going to have to work hard to keep them alive.
We don't just get to pop them in the ground and GO.
This year is especially challenging. The Sun and Moon are wedged between two powerful and challenging energies. One that wants to toughen them up with trials and tribulations and one that wants to ... well, kill them. The seeds will need bootstraps to pull themselves up. And their bootstraps will need bootstraps, too.
OK, so we know this going in. Whatever is starting now, whatever we have going on for the next month - it is going to take work. Don't kid yourself that it won't. And yes, I see that sextile to dreamy/easy-peasy Neptune and that Grand Water Trine between Venus, Neptune and the North Node. They will make this all bearable (and shows the manifesting potential available to us throughout 2019!) ... and emotional, but not really any less hard. And there are no air signs in this chart. We can't think our way through this.
A New Moon is a fresh start (in the dark) and an eclipse is a cosmic reset - something gets eclipsed out of our life or out of our way. Eclipse events are tricky to time, so if this is hitting your chart, the "eclipsing out" thing could have already happened or happen in almost exactly 30 days, or sometimes even later.
Saturn (authority, limits, structure, hard work, time) is making his way toward Pluto (death, transformation, rebirth) and because of his retrograde, they won't actually connect until January 2020 and by that time Jupiter - which expands everything - will be in Capricorn, too. Saturn hasn't met Pluto in Capricorn in 500 years!
This Saturday's New Moon is a kind of pre-cursor to that. A heads-up.
A last chance (we have six months until the Capricorn Full Moon) to get our acts together.
We really don't want to screw this up.
Don't clutter up your life with loose ends now. Take care of your physical body. This isn't work til we drop stuff - nothing in the universe supports us hurting ourselves ever. Don't take on too much, but don't take on too little either. Capricorn is all about hard work, ambition, common sense, perseverance, survival, efficiency, organization and responsibility. It can also be so dry and brittle that stuff can ... break.
Luckily we have a Grand Water Trine to keep things lubricated!
This is first chakra security stuff. Capricorn rules bones, skin and joints.
So, if you are not getting what you need from relationships or activities that you spend considerable amounts of time on, your body and mind (depression is here, too) will tell you now.
First center physical problems like fatigue, skin problems and joint pain that are ignored (ie we don't look at what we are getting back from what we are giving our energy and time to) lead to worse stuff like arthritis, allergies and autoimmune problems.
This is an excellent time to create new routines for physical stuff.
This year, and especially the next six months are very important, because the summer will be especially gnarly and probably leave us hanging on by our finger tips. Don't bite your nails. You might need them in June and July for extra grippiness.
We want to be thinking/acting/talking/walking responsibly. The structure/stability of our lives is shifting (this is what the end of patriarchy feels like folks). The institutions we thought were strong will be shown to be weak. We won't be able to count on the people/things we have been counting on because they will be shifting/barely hanging on, too. We are going to have to pull ourselves out of that well, so let's not go peering over the side, or dancing on the rim and fall into the well in the first place, OK?
Let's look at this Moon by sign. The Aries post is longest (not because I run out of words as I go along ... really ... really) because it APPLIES TO ALL OF US since Aries rules our collective 1st house.
Check your Sun sign and especially your rising sign and maybe the signs around them if nothing seems quite right or email me/leave a comment to know what house holds 15 degrees Capricorn in your natal chart. For example, my hubby is a Virgo rising, but 15 degrees Capricorn is his 4th house not his 5th house, so he would need to read Libra rising - something like this could apply to you if the info sounds off.
This area/theme of your life has been rocking with activity for awhile so it shouldn't be hard to find!
ARIES/ Aries Rising - this New Moon Solar Eclipse is happening in your 10th house of your career, your calling, your achievements, your goals, dad, business, authority, responsibility, your reputation, your calling. This is your shifting sand. Situations that put you at the mercy of a boss/authority/power structure are designed (over the next 6 months and year) to put you in touch with your power. Misuse of power on your part could result in a fall from grace (over the next 6 months and year). NOW is the perfect time to start a job search, get a promotion/pink slip/new job, start a business. Maybe your boss leaves or your company hierarchy shifts. Maybe a major client comes or goes. Whatever is happening, with Saturn and Pluto book-ending the Moon things won't be without challenges. This New Moon is squaring your house creating tension/stress/crisis around authority/control. Now is the time to redefine your career/ambitions/goals. If you are struggling with something that has outlived its usefulness here - start letting it go or 2020 will see it crashing in a big way. If you have been loafing you will pay for it. By January 2020 you will either have stepped into your authority or authority will have stepped on you. Take this part of your life seriously in 2019. This weekend's Neptune kick-off sextile (opportunity) is coming from your 12th house of what is hidden or put away or done behind the scenes, secrets, the ethereal realms, imagination, dreams, hospitals, spirituality, addiction, healing. How can you use something here? Uranus is in your sign for just a few more weeks Aries demanding you prioritize your freedom and release anything/anyone that won't allow you to be yourself. When Uranus turns direct on Sunday you will have a few more weeks to make any final adjustments as you bravely reinvent yourself - what else needs to be done? AND you have Mars (your ruler!) in your sign. Get on it.
The best use of Saturn's journey toward Pluto for you is to redefine your career/calling. Let what is dying go. Holding on will just pull you down with it! Work hard. Be ethical. Don't cut corners.
TAURUS/ Taurus Rising - this New Moon Solar Eclipse is happening in your 9th house of your beliefs, travel, higher education, weddings, politics, legal issues, the media, truth vs false prophets, publishing, foreigners, everything outside your comfort zone, exploration, religion, your grandchildren and higher thinking. This is your shifting sand. This is the perfect time to start something in one of these areas - travel, study, change of beliefs.

NEW MOON INTENTIONS
Get grounded - we're in an earth sign now, so this should be easier. Hug a tree. Plant your bare feet on the ground. I know it's cold. That's probably a good thing. Mindfully think about what you are doing while you are doing it. Use a clear, clean space. Always make your affirmations from a positive place (positive meaning certain and positive meaning cheerful) - yes, smile while you are writing them. If you can't smile, take a break and write them later. If you still can't smile, forget the cheerful - this is Capricorn after all, cheerful is probably not that important - and just go for the more powerful kind of positive meaning "certain". Write your affirmations down by hand in script. We want the letters all connected and flowing together and made by you. Speak them out loud.
Do what you are inclined to with the paper. Release your attention from these thoughts knowing that your intention is known.
Know these things are already yours.
xo all
I hope something here is helpful, and keep in mind you do not want my words/intuition to countermand your own. Use your own judgment/instinct with everything this year.
Uranus stations direct tomorrow and Venus finally leaves Scorpio on Monday (this will really help!). We are in the eclipse spin cycle now - in between eclipses (the next Eclipse is in two weeks) - fast change is coming!
Post on 2019 coming, too!
