A New Moon represents fresh beginnings, blank slates, empty canvases. It is a chosen time to set intentions and to begin new projects.The NM in Capricorn means to start taking action and to make the difference between action and activity. This is the new moon closest to Yule (Winter Solstice) and the New Year.
Capricorn:
*Element: Earth.
*Season: Winter
(Capricorn – December 22nd to January 19th).
*Planets: Saturn & Mars
*Structure and responsibilities*
*Symbol: the sea goat
During this NM, we can talk about discipline, structure, long term planning, will, concentration, to be grounded and above all pushing away a few limitations or boundaries.
Key word: launching
Let’s have a look at the chart !
The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars and Juno are all gathered in Capricorn, creating a "stelium" that amplifies determination, clear thinking, and the drive to take action. It is also an important moment for self-discovery and finding new tracks on the path chosen.
We notice that the conjunction of Mars & Mercury acts like a scout planet, meaning having a great influence within the chart. Intellect and passion blend into a potent fusion, crafting a unique and strong character. The conjunction reflects on how your ambitions and intelligence interlace... making a dynamic mind ready to turn dreams into reality
Jupiter R in Cancer, opposite the sun & moon, brings its part of protection against an uncontrolled ambition and an overinflated ego. Jupiter R might make us stay close to home, harness delays, or examine the protective role of the family, irrespective if it has a positive or a negative impact on us.
There is no better time to develop and trust your intuition.
Let’s have a look at the directions!
It is obvious to see that almost all the planets are located on the right part of the chart, divided between South-West and North-West. For those following the nagualist path initiated by Carlos Castaneda and Armando Torres, the stellium is located in the NW direction, also called direction of the Nagual (Spirit).
This should be a powerful sign to reset our link to the Nagual, to ask ourselves the question: am I doing an act of reason or an act of will ?
The stellium which also represents an alignment of planets (in an Earth sign) might show us the importance of being aligned with the emanations of the Earth in order to have the opportunity to move the assemblage point. It is time to remember that the earth is wrapped by a ball, a luminous cocoon that trap the emanations of the Eagle. The earth is a gigantic sentient being like us.

Quote of the New Moon:
Move your assemblage point, first by setting up your unbending intent to move it, and second by letting the context of the situation dictate where it should move. Don't
worry about procedures, because most of the really unusual things that happen to seers, or to the average man for that matter, happen by themselves, with only the intervention of intent. You are not consciously refusing to let your assemblage point
move. Every human being does that automatically.
C. Castaneda extracts from the Fire from within
