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- Ixion: Pointing towards transformational healing and breaking free from outdated customs, Ixion's influence urges us to let go of what no longer serves us.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.

Exploring the Celestial Symphony of December 2024
On December 15, 2024 at 1:01am PST, the Gemini Full Moon is exact and the cosmos align to offer us a moment of reflection, transformation, and heightened awareness. There are several themes coalescing around the Full Moon, you can find insights into how these energies can be harnessed for personal and collective growth below as well as in the podcast!

1) Embracing Duality and Open-Mindedness
The Gemini Full Moon, shining brightly in the night sky, embodies the essence of duality. Gemini, with its curious and adaptable nature, invites us to explore both sides of every story and remain open to diverse perspectives. Opposing the Sun in Sagittarius, a sign that seeks ancient wisdom and higher truths, this Full Moon creates a dynamic interplay between inquisitiveness and the quest for meaningful knowledge. This opposition encourages us to balance our intellectual pursuits with our innate understanding of universal wisdom. By embracing both the analytical and the philosophical, we find ourselves better equipped to navigate the complexities of life.

2) Encouraging Intuition and Collective Transformation
One of the most compelling aspects of this Full Moon is its formation of a T-square with Neptune in Pisces. Neptune, the planet of dreams, intuition, and spiritual enlightenment, adds a layer of mystical depth to this alignment. Haley explains that this T-square challenges us to tap into our intuitive faculties and recognize the ongoing collective transformation. This aspect prompts us to engage with the unseen forces that guide our lives and to trust in the intuitive insights that emerge. By doing so, we align ourselves with the greater cosmic flow, aiding in both personal and societal evolution.

3) Galactic Center Conjunction: Awakening to Collective Consciousness
A notable highlight of the chart for this Full Moon is the conjunction of the Sun with the Galactic Center in Sagittarius. The Galactic Center, often considered the heart of our galaxy, symbolizes a source of immense energy and profound wisdom. Haley emphasizes that this alignment accentuates our connection to collective consciousness and our soul's purpose. This event is a powerful reminder that we are part of something much larger than ourselves. By attuning to the vibrations from the Galactic Center, we awaken to our higher selves and recognize the interconnectedness of all beings. Haley encourages listeners to meditate on this alignment and tune into the subtle messages from the cosmos.

4) Neptune’s Influence: Opening Pathways to Harmony
Neptune’s active presence in this alignment doesn't end with the T-square. It also forms a sextile with Pluto, which is trine to Uranus. This web of aspects highlights transformative and harmonious energies that further support our growth. Pluto, having recently moved to 0 degrees of Aquarius, signals the dawn of a new era, one characterized by innovations in collective consciousness and profound societal changes. I explain in the podcast that these celestial interactions serve as an invitation to embrace transformation willingly. The harmonious trine between Pluto and Uranus underscores the potential for breakthroughs and positive change, encouraging us to move towards a future built on higher vibrations and collective unity.

​5) Mars and Venus: Balancing Ego and Heart-Centered Action
Another significant theme in this Full Moon's astrology is the opposition between Pluto in Aquarius and Mars in Leo. This alignment highlights the tension between ego-driven motivations and the need for heart-centered action. The caution here is to be aware of the place we are coming from with our actions and thoughts; the temptation of ego and "rightness" might get us stuck, we are well suited to focus on actions inspired by love and compassion. Additionally, Mars opposes Venus in Aquarius, further emphasizing the necessity of rebalancing our energies. This alignment calls for harmony between our desires and our higher ideals, fostering a sense of collective unity and shared purpose. Haley encourages listeners to reflect on their motivations and strive for balance in their interactions.
