Ever wonder what it’s like when the cosmos throws a party and Capricorn shows up dressed to the nines, commanding the room with its usual no-nonsense flair? This weekend, the Capricorn stellium is riding high, but Friday marks the last sparkle of Venus in Capricorn before it decides to sip cocktails in Aquarius’ breezy lounge. With the Moon cozying up to Juno and Venus flirting with Neptune’s dreamy vibes, the stars are nudging us toward connection—no jealous green-eyed monsters allowed. It’s all about unearthing shared values and forging bonds that don’t just shine on paper, but in the gritty, real world. So, are you ready to climb with the steadfast mountain goat, embracing both the rocky patches and breathtaking views that come with revolutionizing your personal summit? Buckle up, because this new moon in Capricorn is less about magic tricks and more about steady, deliberate strides that might just flip your perspective upside down—in the best way possible.

The Capricorn stellium remains strong, but Friday night is Capricorn Venus’ last hurrah. As the Capricorn Moon conjoins Juno, Venus sextiles Neptune in Pisces at 29 degrees. The mood is committed, passionate, and invisibly gaining ground. Gaining common ground. Connection, pleasure, and gains are possible as the areas of commonality light up around us. Envy is void when we awaken to shared values and consolidate our numbers in the real world.
Capricorn Mercury heads into conjunction with Mars while Mars holds the last vestiges of a conjunction to the Sun through the weekend. Mind, sensory, and communication matters proceed at a steady pace and that pace is strong. Document your progress. Check in with the people who matter to you. What doesn’t seem fast on level ground is FAST when you’re heading uphill, so peep your surroundings as you go and adjust. The Cap Sun trines retro Taurus Uranus and sextiles Cap-ruler Saturn in Pisces through Saturday morning. Planning and action support solidarity and lightning gains on the front end. Tangible change may seem revolutionary, but it happens one step at a time.
Saturday morning, Venus slips into airy, fixed Aquarius. Humanitarian values and theoretical gains prickle and tickle the air around us. Venus heads into conjunction with Pluto, so fizzy fun can erupt into a surprisingly tangible bounty of power and titillating turnaround. With Aquarius ruler Uranus retrograde in Venus-ruled Taurus and the Capricorn Sun trining Uranus, deep ties call on something greater than what’s happening in the short term. A common humanitarian goal. We have to be willing to turn what we’ve had on its head to glimpse and grasp something greater. Surprising and powerful allies emerge.
Saturday night, the Capricorn Moon opposes retro Jupiter in Moon-ruled Cancer and squares Chiron in Aries. It’s an affecting and possibly painful challenge in a cardinal t-square, but the Sun-Saturn-Uranus chain of sextiles provides an outlet for the impact. If you feel pushed to act outside of your comfort zone, know that you’ll train up quickly. Fear is the biggest factor. However, if you can use that fear to propel yourself forward, there’s a solid path appearing underfoot. Trust yourself, even in the unknown.
Late Saturday, Mercury rolls over Mars. Sunday morning, the Capricorn Moon rolls over Mars then Mercury. By midday it sextiles Saturn and trines Uranus, then it steps into conjunction with the Sun: the new moon.
After it passes the Sun, the new Capricorn Moon sextiles Neptune then heads into Aquarius where it conjoins Venus, Pluto, and Vesta.
Heading into the new moon, we’re reminded of and brought into tune with the skills we’ve acquired and the connections we were born to. There’s a rhythm to life that runs as an undercurrent to each of us. That rhythm flows through the ground, connects, and flows back into our bodies and minds. What seems woo-woo is the part we don’t understand yet, but no mistake — it lives in and through our bodies in fact and science (it’s woo till proven). After the new moon, the collective mood shifts to the theoretical, but there is still a tangible connection to the past (even when the past is seconds ago). That flow, that connection is a closed circuit, whether we’re aware or not.
Sunday’s new moon mood grounds our awareness that progress is made through connection, even if that connection is disturbing, or stinky, or just different. Real life demands real world solutions. But sometimes those solutions aren’t the threat they seemed when we were looking through the old lens. What we value can change, even if that change feels like death — it also features rebirth. But it doesn’t have to be that hard. While the feelings are STRONG this weekend, they’re also fully supported in connection and love. You won’t lose by… brace yourself… accepting the reality of the ugly parts, of what you fear, and seeing yourself as a whole person and part of a whole world.
Safety is a major issue this weekend. We’re safer together. We’re safer together as a closed circuit rather than detached and disparate. Violence is power, for sure, and the violence of the state (any state) can feel overwhelming. The state is just a sub-set of us, of we. We have the power as a closed circuit to reorder that sub-set and re-wire it through our collective calm.
Collective calm doesn’t always look calm. Sometimes it’s shocking. Sometimes it’s loud. Resist fragmentation. Embrace moving forward. Be ready to move toward loving in theory first. Solid action will follow. Can you allow your personal goals to shift toward collective goals and the good of all? That’s where true power operates.
The new moon takes place midday Sunday at 28 degrees Capricorn. Where does this hit your chart? Where are you digging in and revolutionizing a brand new start? Do you have any weekend plans? Hold steady, and be willing to morph or change direction at a moment’s notice. Be the mountain goat that climbs.
