The Moon aligns with the Sun in Capricorn, in this first month of 2024, and does so exactly at 12.57pm on the 11th.
The New Moon is always one of the most fascinating moments in the lunar cycle and undoubtedly has a major influence on our lives, involving emotions, energies, and decisions.
Considering that it comes in the first month of the new year and that the New Moon always marks a phase of beginnings and new departures, for all intents and purposes then this New Moon of 11 January is the 'New Moon of new intentions', culminating with the Full Moon in Leo next 25 January and urging us to bring out what we have inside, not to make compromises, often made even with ourselves, that limit our uniqueness, and to declare who we are (have become), what we want and what we don't want (any more), overcoming the fear of disappointing the expectations of those around us and of failing the image of us that we have always given to the outside world.
With the Full Moon next 21 July, then, also in Capricorn, an imaginative cycle will end, and we will be able to see the first effects of choices, decisions or initiatives launched in the coming days. In fourteen days’, some of the ideas that have arisen with the New Moon will have clearer contours, will translate into more focused ideas and projects. In six months, on the other hand, we will see their 'effects' more clearly defined. The New Moon is one of the best times to close with the past and with situations in which we are imprisoned, freeing ourselves from negative energies, and to open new chapters, with new plans.
This new moon is formed in the sign of Capricorn, an earth sign, fixed and ruled by Saturn. Practicality and concreteness that will last over time assume projects in this sign.
The Capricorn archetype embodies the attitude present in each of us of giving ourselves goals and working towards their realization, creating structures capable of lasting over time, and so Capricorn does not lack ambition, a spirit of dedication, and a sense of duty that are rooted in something even greater: the aptitude to give life to something that can leave a mark of our passage in this dimension of reality.
The dream is important, but when it passes the Capricorn test it must rest on more concrete foundations, it must translate into something that we can concretely realize and that can last. If you like, it is the meeting point between the visionaries of the architect and the rigor of the engineer: fantasy and imagination are welcome, but at a certain point they must converge in a project.
The first indication of the New Moon in Capricorn is an urge to seek fresh solutions to old problems without taking shortcuts, as long as they are new constructions capable of lasting. Of solutions capable of resolving finally issues that have been giving us a hard time for a long time, building a new, stable, long-term structure. This particular new moon, which brings with it all the characteristics of Capricorn, therefore, invites us to set ourselves new goals both from a sentimental and material point of view, and no matter the time and commitment required, the important thing will be not to lose the sense of the project, of the grand design, and to proceed one day after another without a clear goal. And from this point of view, the New Moon in Capricorn contains a clear invitation to get back on course, to re-establish the intermediate stages and the final goal of so many of our efforts that would otherwise go in circles.
Let us also remember that the Moon generally governs the emotions and therefore we must pay particular attention to the moods and feelings we experience on the days of the New Moon and then again on the Full Moon: because they certainly want to tell us something and they do so beyond all our defenses and rational superstructures.
The New Moon of 11 January 2024 will bring its share of new developments and important decisions for the three signs of Taurus, Leo and Scorpio. This crucial astral phase will allow these signs to express their potential and evolve personally, both sentimentally and financially.
