New Moon In Capricorn Horoscopes – December 23, 2022

1.522

The final days of December tend to be devoted to rushing to meet deadlines, reveling in joyful festivities with friends, and reflecting on the previous 12 months. But just a little more than a week before we close out 2022, a pragmatic, future-minded new moon urges you to lean into your most ambitious side as you glimpse down the road at the weeks to come.

Falling on Friday, December 23 at 5:17 a.m. ET/2:17 a.m. PT in Capricorn, the cardinal earth sign ruled by Saturn, the planet of responsibility and commitment, this lunation is wired to amplify your drive, industriousness, and ability to get organized. In turn, you’ll be prepared to dive into a whole new chapter with more clarity and a down-to-earth game plan.

The new moon in Capricorn inspires diligence.

New moons — which happen when the vitality-bringing sun sits in the same exact spot, astrologically-speaking, as the emotional moon — serve as an inspiring blank canvas on which you can create your wildest visions for the future. They’re opportunities to key in on what you want to achieve in the days to come, and specifically, the next two weeks (when the next full moon occurs) and six months (when the corresponding full moon to this new moon happens). December 2022’s new moon falls in the no-nonsense cardinal earth sign Capricorn, which is one of the most self-motivated signs of the whole zodiac.

For that reason, this is one of the most opportune times to reflect on what you want to achieve and then make a concerted effort to get the ball rolling in even some small but significant way. After all, unlike fellow cardinal sign, Aries, which would prefer to put the pedal to the metal at all costs (more on the sign of the Ram in a moment!), the Sea Goat is perfectly satisfied, if not more comfortable, taking all the time necessary to reach the peak of whatever mountain they’ve set their sights on. And while they are ambitious, they’ll usually focus on an objective that’s genuinely attainable. Ultimately, Capricorn believes that remaining steadfast and grounded should translate to recognition and achievement.
