put your ambition to work.  

 

last week carried you across a powerful threshold between past and future as the triple conjunction of venus, mars and the sun in capricorn set the wheels of your destiny in motion. something significant has been activated. your attention may now be drawn toward a defining priority - a project, a health or career goal, a relationship commitment or a responsibility that requires maturity and follow-through.  with mercury also aligned in capricorn, realism has entered the equation.  plans may have been adjusted, expectations clarified and strategies refined.  this capricorn activation remains alive all month, supporting sustained effort, discipline and tangible progress.

this week asks you to put your ambition to work. use capricorn energy wisely by managing your time, energy and resources with intention.  the skies support clear thinking, direct honesty and assertive conversations in professional or business matters. practical and grounded solutions can lead to rapid, tangible progress. finish what must be finished.  close loops.  complete the must-dos.

as we wind down the sagittarius lunar cycle and prepare for a new moon at 28°44′ capricorn on sunday, the emphasis is on conscious completion.  the sagittarius lunar cycle has brought you to this threshold.  what truth did it reveal?  where did it lead you?  where you stand now and what you have brought into order becomes fertile ground for what comes next.  this new moon arrives at the very end of capricorn season.  its timing is precise.  it marks a moment of crystallization and realization, just before the sun moves into aquarius the following day.  if you’ve used the first two weeks of january wisely by staying focused, making adjustments, planting seeds and setting clear priorities, then this lunation can bring a sense of achievement, reward, clarity or confirmation.  what was initiated earlier may now begin to take form. 

 

on the eve of the new moon, venus leaves capricorn, pulls ahead of mars and enters aquarius, shifting the tone in a noticeable way.  venus and mars now begin a new two-year cycle. after weeks of seriousness, responsibility and relational testing, venus in aquarius invites a breath of fresh air. this transit liberates the heart from rigid expectations and outdated relationship contracts.  love, values and creativity begin to orient toward freedom, authenticity and future vision. venus in aquarius favors connections rooted in equality, friendship and shared ideals rather than obligation or tradition.  you may feel called to redefine what you value - financially, relationally and emotionally, asking not “what is expected?” but “what feels true and alive for me now?”  this transit supports unconventional choices, conscious detachment and the courage to love in a way that honors individuality - your own and others. 

​

adding potency to this new moon is a capricorn stellium - the moon, sun, mercury and mars all trining uranus. this is a powerful, electric signature. uranus delivers a lightning-bolt jolt of innovation to your intentions, opening unexpected pathways forward.  breakthroughs, insights and sudden opportunities may arise, especially if you are willing to elevate your goals to a higher octave of consciousness.  with mars trine uranus, momentum is available.  action aligned with soul-truth can manifest rapidly. if you are on a soul-aligned path, surprises arrive as blessings.  if not, uranus may intervene with a course correction designed to wake you up and redirect your energy.  

 

sunday's new moon carries the quiet ache and promise of running up that hill - the long climb meeting a sudden shift in perspective.  it speaks to the soul’s readiness to renegotiate old contracts, to trade force for understanding, effort for alignment.  with uranus lighting the way, what once felt heavy may lift. the path does not disappear, but the way you move upon it changes.  and in that shift, the climb begins to carry you.

next week marks the official beginning of aquarius season, ruled by uranus.  as the sun moves into aquarius, momentum accelerates.  the work of capricorn has not disappeared.  it has metabolized.  what you have solidified during capricorn season becomes the launchpad.  what once required endurance now responds to awareness. aquarius does not ask you to climb higher.  it asks you to move differently; to carry forward what you’ve earned and let the future meet you halfway.  this capricorn lunar cycle is laying the foundation as we approach one of the most significant cosmic events of the year - neptune’s return to aries on january 26, where it will remain until 2039.  this is a profound karmic shift initiating a long-term reinvention of personal and collective identity, vision, dreams and purpose.  more to come on this monumental transit. 

 

for now, focus your energy and time on what is essential.  honor your inner knowing.  eliminate what no longer serves.  keep an open mind.  stay present and responsive to the moment.  what once felt uphill no longer needs to be forced.  expect change.  don’t look back. look forward.  what is initiated now is not fleeting. it carries the promise of a meaningful harvest in the second half of the year.
