The New Moon in Capricorn occurred on December 30, 2024, marking the final new moon of the year.
The Capricorn New Moon, like all new moons, is sometimes referred to as a "dark moon" because during this phase, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun.
This alignment causes the side of the moon that faces Earth to be completely in shadow, making it invisible to the naked eye.
This darkness symbolizes a time of rest, reflection, and renewal in many spiritual and astrological traditions.
It's a moment to go inward, plant seeds for the future, and focus on intentions, as there is no external light to distract or illuminate.
This "darkness" allows for introspection, making it an ideal time to set goals, particularly those aligned with the qualities of Capricorn, such as discipline, structure, and long-term achievement.
In astrology, new moons symbolize new beginnings and opportunities for setting intentions.
When the new moon is in Capricorn, an earth sign ruled by Saturn, it emphasizes themes of discipline, structure, and long-term planning. This period encourages setting realistic goals and committing to steady progress toward achieving them.
During this time, you might feel a heightened sense of responsibility and ambition, coupled with a desire to establish order and stability in life.
The Capricorn new moon's influence can inspire a practical and methodical approach to personal and professional endeavors.
A mantra to align with the Capricorn new moon's energy could be:
"I commit to my goals with discipline and patience, building a solid foundation for my future."
Your Yoga practice can be a constant support, and during this new moon grounding and stability can be beneficial.
Focusing on building strength and balance, utilising shapes such as Mountain Pose (Tadasana), Warrior I (Virabhadrasana I), and Tree Pose (Vrksasana).
