Capricorn New Moon: Archangel Michael

As we approach 2025, the New Moon in Capricorn is on the horizon. On December 30, 2024, at 2:27 pm PST this celestial alignment offers not only an opportunity for transformation but also a guiding hand to lead us into the new year with intention and insight. Whether you are new to astrology or a seasoned enthusiast, understanding the key concepts highlighted during this lunar phase can offer profound insights and practical steps forward. Let's delve into the key themes:

1) Capricorn: The Grounded Dreamer
Capricorn, a cardinal, feminine, earth sign ruled by Saturn, is traditionally associated with long-term goals, self-discipline, and systematic progress. This New Moon offers a potent time to set objectives that require perseverance, strategic planning, and gradual advancement. Capricorn's energy is all about making dreams tangible through persistent efforts.

2) The Power of a Stellium
A stellium—a cluster of planets, asteroids, and trans-Neptunian objects—is converging in Capricorn, signifying a time of transformation that emphasizes the higher octave of Capricorn energy. These planets and objects include:
- The Sun and Moon: Which are always conjunct during a new moon. 
- Quaoar: Symbolizing harmony and creation, Quaoar's presence during this New Moon enables us to generate new realities while maintaining inner and outer balance.
- Pholus: Representing subconscious, inevitable changes, Folas helps us embrace and navigate the shifts that aren't always in our conscious control.
- Ixion: Pointing towards transformational healing and breaking free from outdated customs, Ixion's influence urges us to let go of what no longer serves us.
- Pallas Athena: Bringing wisdom and creative intelligence, Pallas Athena guides us to use our intellect and creativity in our new undertakings.

3) Sextile with Saturn and Nessus
Aligning in a harmonious sextile, Saturn and Nessus in Pisces play a crucial role in resolving collective karmic shadows. This alignment emphasizes the importance of moving away from judgment and focusing on unity consciousness. Remaining sensitive to subtle energy allows us to address collective wounds with compassion and understanding. (Please see below for a more in depth look at Nessus!)

4) Neptune and the North Node
Neptune in Pisces stands at an anaretic degree, conjunct the North Node, urging us to tune into intuition and take actions that align with a brighter future. This aspect encourages us to make choices rooted in higher vibrational energies, harnessing the power of free will to manifest positive outcomes.
