For the New Moon at 20º Capricorn for your Sun sign or Rising sign:
Aries
(New Moon in 10th House) Standing at a crossroads between the past and the future, the New Moon in Capricorn is a time each year in which you are asked to more fully explore your potential. And that can include taking whatever steps are necessary in order to get the ball rolling. Capricorn is a sign often associated with setting goals for the future. For Aries, achievement does have an element of competition and wanting to succeed. Perhaps to even make some sort of personal best. However it is less about impressing others, or being flattered and cajoled by the glitter and glamour of rewards, as it is about proving yourself to yourself, and being the best that you can be. Therefore when creating your own individualized road map for 2024, make sure that it is a map of your own making, without being distracted by other’s expectations. Rather, focus on those things that would make you feel most accomplished. In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson: “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” A good intention for the New Moon on January 11th might be: May I recognize and follow the path that is best for me.
Taurus
(New Moon in 9th House) Now that Jupiter has stationed direct in your sign, it will be encouraging you to commit to fulfilling some sort of big vision for the future. Whether that means fulfilling a dream, embarking on an adventure, expanding your horizons, or exploring new alternatives, this is about making that commitment to follow through on whatever plans had been percolating behind the scenes. The New Moon on January 11th, is about making just those sorts of commitments, that can open your world as well as your opportunities. The New Moon in Capricorn is your pathfinder Moon, inspiring you to explore farther horizons. This is a New Moon about growth, as well as the ways to realize and achieve that growth. It can be as simple as making yourself more informed about a subject. Or perhaps planning your next vacation to explore those new horizons. But it can also be about creating a road map that will allow you to fulfill that big vision and hope for the future that has been brewing these past several months. A good intention for the New Moon in Capricorn on January 11th might be: May I have the wisdom to recognize my true path.
Gemini
(New Moon in 8th House) It could have felt like you have been walking through a cloud of uncertainty ever since Mercury entered its retrograde phase in mid-December. Your ruling planet Mercury will make its final square to Neptune on Monday, so you may not have full clarity until Mercury enters Capricorn on the 13th. In the mean time this will continue to make it difficult to make plans and sort things out. Just before Mercury enters Capricorn, we have a New Moon in Capricorn on January 11th, daring us to look boldly towards the future, and think about making all sorts of commitments. For Gemini, never are you more in tune with the concept of impermanence, than when we are in Capricorn season. For this is when you are straddling the divide between the old and the new. Use the New Moon in Capricorn to not only make your own realizable and achievable resolutions for the year ahead, but to revise old goals that you have since outgrown. Ask yourself what sorts of changes and improvements you might want to make this year. And then consider what steps you might need to take in order to achieve them. A good intention for the New Moon on January 11th might be: I want to see myself embracing the sorts of changes that will allow me to grow perhaps even beyond my previous expectations.
Cancer
(New Moon in 7th House) The feeling of being between an old order and a new one could be especially strong with the New Moon in Capricorn on January 11th. Kind of like standing on a threshold between the past and the future. Even so, there will still be a part of you looking longingly back at what could have been, or what once was, even as another part of you is looking with anticipation towards the future and the possibilities that it holds. The New Moon in Capricorn stands as something of a culmination for the year, in which you are able to see all that has brought you to this place and time, while also seeing the different paths unfolding before you. And it also includes those people who will be accompanying you along the way. Use the New Moon on Thursday to further strengthen your most important relationships, while opening your heart to any new relationships you might be making over the year ahead. The New Moon in Capricorn is a good moon for Cancer to connect with those people that you know you can truly rely and depend on well into the future. A good intention for the New Moon in Capricorn on January 11th might be: May I come to appreciate and recognize those people who will be there and support me on my path going forward.
Leo
(New Moon in 6th House) As you now stand on the threshold between the past and the future, you might want to ask yourself what is standing in the way of you walking freely into the future? Are there still some obstacles that need to be removed? And in what ways are you still clinging to the past, or attached to previous obligations that you have long since outgrown? In some way you are being asked to grow, move on, and expand your horizons this year. So taking care of all of these loose ends are essential for that to occur. The New Moon in Capricorn is a ‘taking care of business’ sort of Moon, where details are meant to be sorted out, and your everyday life reorganized. While doing so, try to make your health and well-being one of your priorities right now. That can be as simple as beginning a new health regimen, or paying greater attention to your diet. Or it may mean taking care of a lingering health issue that had been hanging in there for some time now. New Moons are about renewal and new beginnings, and this New Moon is about restoring your over all well-being. But it can also be about making your daily occupation something of a priority as well. That can include things like organizing your work environment, using your time more productively and efficiently, and looking for ways to improve your overall life and lifestyle. A good intention for the New Moon in Capricorn on January 11th might be: May I organize my life in such a way to support my over all health and well-being.
Virgo
(New Moon in 5th House) It is difficult to plan anything or organize your life and schedule when your ruling planet Mercury had been retrograde, AND square Neptune. Although Mercury is finally out of its retrograde phase, it still has one more square to Neptune on Monday. This could feel like a retrograde hangover, with a lingering feeling of uncertainty clouding the proceedings. You may not achieve full clarity until the 13th when Mercury enters Capricorn. However, even before then, the New Moon in Capricorn encourages us all to commit to some sort of plan for the future. And this can be even as we are still trying to sort out certain obligations and concerns carried over from the previous year. Just make sure that you don’t allow these to hold you back from fully embracing the new opportunities that may be opening up in the New Year. The New Moon in Capricorn is a reminder for Virgo to focus on who you love and what you love to do. It can also be a more propitious time to make any New Year’s resolutions, as they are more likely to gain traction when made on the New Moon. Another way to ensure their success, is to focus in on only one or two of the most important resolutions you might want to make for the year ahead. Make them clear and unambiguous. Then commit to making them an achievable reality. A good intention for the New Moon in Capricorn on January 11th might be: I want any resistance, or obstacles to joy and happiness lifted from me.
Libra
(New Moon in 4th House) It could feel as if you are standing on a threshold between the past and the future with the New Moon in Capricorn. There is a certain amount of excitement and anticipation for the possibilities ahead, while also still feeling committed to past obligations. It could even feel as if the past is colliding with the future, as you try to sort out all the various commitments betwixt and between. One advantage to the New Moon in Capricorn, is that it is an organizing moon. Up until the New Moon it has been difficult to make plans, or even know what will happen from day to day. So taking a deep dive into Capricorn can feel like you are finally able to get your footing. We are all craving a little clarity, discipline and organization right about now. And the New Moon in Capricorn aims to get us all back on track. With the New Moon in Capricorn Libra is being asked to make deeper commitments revolving around the foundations of your life, which include things such as Home, Family, and honoring your Roots and Ancestors. For Libra this is a primal sign, signifying both endings and beginnings. Capricorn is significant for its association with honoring traditions, while recognizing your responsibility to others within your care. And within that context you may want to ask yourself: What more can I do to further cultivate my need for security, stability, family and community? A good intention for the New Moon in Capricorn on January 11th might be: May I honor my present by cultivating a deeper respect for my past.

Aquarius

Within that context you are being asked to reflect on any changes that have occurred over the previous year, while also giving you permission to release those things that you have since outgrown. This is going to be an important year for Aquarius, as the planet Pluto will be entering your sign on January 20th. Those who will be most affected are Aquarians born in the first few degrees of the sign, but all Aquarians may experience something of a sea change. Through releasing the past, and letting go of what once was, it also allows room for better things to come in when the Sun and Pluto enter Aquarius on the 20th. Therefore ask yourself: What have I outgrown, and is no longer valid for the person I am now? Where am I stuck, and what am I willing and able to do about that? And if there is nothing I can do right now about my current situation, what can I change in my perspective that will allow me to better cope with circumstances as they are?

Saturn always makes us work hard when it is in our sign. But Saturn here is also trying to show you what is possible. What is achievable.
