A new moon will rise in Capricorn this weekend, bringing boss energy to every zodiac sign
New Year, new moon. The first new moon of the year is happening on January 5th, and it will fittingly rise in Capricorn, our current astrological season. A new moon symbolizes new beginnings, and this one is particularly symbolic: we’re getting a jumpstart on our biggest dreams and goals for 2019. Capricorns are the ambitious and relentless workers of the zodiac. Once they set a goal for themselves, there is nothing that can stop them from seeing it through. So, since we’re experiencing a new moon in Capricorn while we’re in Capricorn season, you can expect a double whammy when it comes to motivation and wanting to make things happen.
And if this entrepreneurial energy isn’t enough for you to start setting your intentions for the New Year, the new moon also comes with a partial solar eclipse. During a partial solar eclipse, the moon blocks only part of the sun, but its effects can be felt for six months. Which means whatever goals you set today will be with you until June.
But let’s not underestimate the power of the moon, either. The moon rules our feelings, so we run the risk of having our emotions cloud our judgment when it comes to our dreams. There’s nothing wrong with being in tune with our feelings—in fact, it’s a must when it comes to living an authentic life—but don’t let the intensity of the new moon affect what you know to be true for you. If you need to slow it down and give yourself some space and time before moving ahead with your goals, then that’s okay too. Take this opportunity to recalibrate—and don’t forget that you’re worthy of your heart’s biggest desires.
Here’s what else this new moon in Capricorn has in store for your zodiac sign:
