Daily Horoscope: New Moon in Capricorn, December 23, 2022

New Moon in Capricorn, Friday, December 23, evokes a nostalgic yearning for times which seemed simpler and more secure than the present as the moon joins the sun in Capricorn, and together they form a square aspect with Neptune in Pisces conjunct Jupiter in Aries. If you are spending time with children during this holiday season, you may be sharing activities and stories with them that are traditional in your family, and anything new you try for fun now could become an enduring and poignant memory. Capricorn is the cardinal earth sign, ruled by steady Saturn, that is associated with the 10th house of career, authority, reputation, and mastery. You will feel the weight of responsibility, or a desire to achieve greater success and recognition, in whatever area of life this New Moon activates in your natal chart. Before you put New Moon plans into motion, there may be things you must release and lessons to process, due to the moon squaring Neptune and Jupiter, as well as Saturn in Aquarius squaring Uranus conjunct the North Node in Taurus. Venus, Mercury, and Pluto in Capricorn trine to Uranus/North Node, and sextile to Neptune/Jupiter, suggest you take the time to consider the ramifications of making or breaking commitments and contracts. Between December 29th, when Mercury turns retrograde, and January 12th, when Mars turns direct, you may have regrets over premature decisions, or you will be revising your plans, or backing out of agreements. Plant your New Moon seeds in the dark of your private thoughts until you feel confident in bringing them forward. Holiday activities give your mind and body the break you need from the daily grind, but you may be working just as hard – maybe even competing – to have or to host the best experience ever. Over the top gifts and gestures are impressive, but the time you share with those you love is the most valuable present you can give and receive.
