This new moon works pretty much ‘on its own’, with no major planetary aspects. However, there is background astrological energies that enhance the lunar atmosphere. Capricorn’s restrictive cosmic ruler, Saturn, will collide with expansive Jupiter, causing a feeling of limitation that requires you to sit down and solve problems. Additionally, action planet Mars opposes transformative Pluto, which can create underlying psychological tensions. Allow your feelings to be expressed with care.

Planetary tension is intense, but it doesn’t have to hinder your ability to tap into the lunar magic of the Capricorn season, especially if you’re one of the signs less affected by the December 30th new moon.

Libra

December’s new moon is a good opportunity for you to relax.

This moon falls in another impulsive sign, Capricorn, but its effects are not as strong for you. Cosmic activity is not directly touching your sign right now, which means you can expect a calm and light atmosphere.

However, there are opportunities to harness this energy. Capricorn illuminates the home and family sector for you, giving you the opportunity to connect with your roots and strengthen your emotional foundation. As you prepare for the new year, ask yourself: Are you investing in your relationships with the people you love? Do you feel like you have a comfortable and supportive space to explore your dreams? If not, now is the time to start over.

Aquarius

For you, the new moon is an invitation to rest and reflection.

The new moon falls in your 12th house, associated with the subconscious and introspection. This means you may not feel her influence as strongly as other signs. But if you want to take advantage of this energy, it would be good to put aside your obsessions and connect with your true feelings.

Saturn’s tension with Jupiter can bring difficulty in balancing your creative ideas with their practical application. But because this moon touches deeper aspects of yourself, you may not be fully aware of what moves or worries you.

So take time for yourself. The new moon is the perfect opportunity for spiritual self-care and rest. A little time for introspection can help you feel lighter and enjoy the festive moments of the New Year even more.
