New Moon in Capricorn: Big Dreams grounded in Reality

The New Moon in the earth cardinal sign of Capricorn occurs on December 23, 2022, just after we’ve celebrated the Winter Solstice on December 21.

This is the second Capricorn New Moon of 2022. The first one occurred right at the start of the year on January 2. Even though it is a New Moon, there is a sense of taking stock for what has been achieved this year so far.

This potent New Moon happening right after the change of seasons is clashing with the planet of good fortune and abundance Jupiter in the fire sign of Aries.

Jupiter in Aries is bold, ambitious and ready for action.

This conversation of tension with this New Moon can make us want to forge ahead and reach for the stars.

However, this energy is also warning us there is a danger of overdoing the good things this festive season. We can become overly optimistic and overly ambitious under this influence.

This New Moon is great for setting big plans for the year ahead but we need to make sure these big dreams are grounded in reality.

New Moon in Capricorn

You may not be ready for the big jump just yet. Mars is still in retrograde in Gemini and Mercury is already in its shadow gearing up to slam on the breaks on December 29.

It would be best to take our time right now and do more prep work before launching anything brand new out into the world.

The energy of hard working, disciplined and laser focused Capricorn is just perfect for that.


Before we dive in, be sure to check your Ascendant, Moon and Sun signs to get a full picture. When you read a horoscope for your Sun sign only, you only get a glimpse of what’s in store for your personal and professional life. Your Sun sign (related to the day you were born) might be an important component of your identity, but it’s only a small fraction of the whole story. Very often, your Ascendant (Rising sign) is the most accurate representation of you as an individual, as it rules your first house of the self and therefore has the biggest impact on your personal horoscope.
