The Moon communes with the Sun in the sign of Capricorn heralding a new beginning related to your status, career, authority figures and opportunities for expansion. The influence emphasizes persons with practical intelligence, particularly those in medical or highly skilled technological professions. Some of these individuals possess mathematical abilities especially useful in fields such as accounting or the physical sciences. Generally, this moon highlights being well-organized, precise, efficient and methodical. The choice may be to convey this image through conservative dress and meticulous grooming in order to make a good impression for professional and business reasons. The important events of this period are likely to include persons with strong Capricorn in the natal chart (sun, moon, rising) as well as those with Sagittarius placements.
In keeping with a desire to make or spend money, it’s possible you’ll seek emotional security through accruing both money and possessions. This will require a review of income and whether it provides the level of security to meet your economic needs. Increases or decreases are mostly dependent on the personal motivation to make money, and you might be involved in negotiations or contract discussions. If you put in extra effort, your income may increase, but should you fail to do so, or even continue as you have, your level of income may drop. If you own a business, circumstances beyond your control might lessen your volume of business, or you may have to change the source of your income. In some cases, fluctuations in your resources are a direct result of being self-employed, working on commission, part-time, or as needed. Perhaps you decide to take a pay cut in favor of more flexible hours, more free time or because you’re waiting for the future viability of an enterprise or have chosen to leave a steady salary in order to pursue something else. In some cases, you’re simply not charging enough for your services. If you’re currently dissatisfied with your job, this is the time to investigate alternatives.
A tendency to vacillate between frugality and spending may prompt you to review spending habits and savings practices. The focus is on financial issues that involve ways to manage, budget, save and invest. If the goal is for a major purchase, investment or rainy day fund, this is the cycle to devise a financial plan. You’re making clear and conscious choices to eliminate the unnecessary, both materially and otherwise. The point is to examine your relationship to the resources in your life for greater control through the things you value.
On a personal level, you might have gained a greater sense of self-worth and completeness that helps to limit overindulgence. Your material values are changing as you establish priorities that are more consistent with your personal perspective. Your evaluation may also take into consideration whether you receive the respect you deserve. Given the assessment, you can be assertive and vocal in defense of what you deem to be worthy or essential and will actively pursue your ideals.
Benefits, comforts and money are self-made and others will not necessarily provide for you. If you’re financially dependent on someone, you may review arrangements that are subject to change. You may be arguing over shared resources, how you earn a living, how you spend money, what bills you pay or don’t pay, and what you choose to purchase. Despite conflict, you’ll feel the need to have personal power over financial choices. If unemployed, you may project on to your provider, but it’s likely that a partner will fail to meet your expectations and the perceived mismanagement can be an issue between you. If you ‘re unable to fulfill your own financial ambitions, you may become irresponsible by impulsively spending money faster than your provider can make it in order to exert negative financial control. The greater emphasis should be on becoming personally independent, financially successful and in control of your own finances.
Other factors that impact the monetary situation can be the uncertainty about where you’ll be living in the future or who’ll be living with you. Perhaps you’re considering relocation or a job-related move that may not have an exact destination or time frame. Situations with family members may be in flux, especially if you have college-aged children or elderly parents and dealing with those in need may mean coming and going without notification. You may have a family member in need of physical, emotional or financial assistance, and the uncertainty about the course of action for their care means you’re unable to form a clear personal direction.
The concern for your own needs, interests, ideas and opinions means that you’ll tend to make decisions independently and without feedback or input. If making decisions for yourself and/or another and needs conflict, it could be necessary for you to explore available options. The inability to find solutions may result in depression and you may isolate yourself and refuse to discuss your problems which, in your mind, appear to be hopeless.
As a result, you can be resentful and critical as communication grows increasingly difficult. Strong self-reliance can skew your objectivity making it difficult to compromise or recognize other viewpoints. Forthright and powerful as a speaker, you may be armed with a sharp mind and quick tongue in thought-provoking discussions or debate, but can be argumentative as well. You’ll tend to believe what you choose to regardless of what others tell you or without reviewing necessary information. Consequently, premature judgment and the strong conviction that you’re right may fuel overconfidence that entices you to pursue a risky endeavor.
Alternatively, you may not know what to believe, especially if there are discrepancies between what you’re told and what you know. An overwhelming desire to relate can make you unwilling to defend your rights, and in the extreme, you can be assailed by false accusations through secret and open enemies. You may have to learn to protect yourself from the demands, intrusions and opinions of others. This would be a period to exercise great care and not rely on word-of-mouth agreements. However, if you’re capable of asserting yourself, you may withdraw because it offers some intrinsic value to do so–a desire to escape from a situation you find difficult to control or to a situation you wish to create. As a result, this may coincide with a time when you’re living alone for the first time or separated for one reason or another from a loved one.
Fortunately, you can rely on devoted friends for support and should surround yourself with persons of noble character. It may be that foreigners, people of a different cultural background, someone successful and wealthy or highly educated individuals prove fortunate to your circumstance through some lucky course of action.
In the positive, previous creative projects may begin to yield an increase in financial revenue. You tend to advance through your own efforts and abilities and self-made opportunities offer you the opportunity for personal satisfaction, especially in situations that offer greater latitude and fewer restrictions. You’ll take a new approach to work and will seek out opportunities that free you from the excessive demands of others. The Parts of Fortune and Spirit signifies that your shot at happiness related to both worldly success and spiritual well-being involves release from stifling situations and the need for freedom to explore as you create your own luck. The challenge is not allowing a headstrong attitude or rash action to cause you to overestimate your strength. But you know how to land on your feet and the drive is to diversify and add options to your life.
In some cases, you may be concentrating on intellectual pursuits through self-study or actualizing concepts you’ve acquired through projects. You may decide to withdraw from superficial or unnecessary contacts in order to work on a creative project. This might be something major that requires concentration, discipline, organization, persistence and numerous hours of hard work. You may be writing, studying for exams or consulting with others for new information, and the knowledge you gain may be critical to the goals you’ve set for the future. While exchanges can contribute to refining your ideas, you tend to be very opinionated or dogmatic in discussions. That may be due to mental processes in creative flux with ideas prone to change with the goal of producing work that’s more personally expressive of you.
Without a creative outlet, you may drift without any aim or purpose because nothing measures up to your ideal. Day to day issues can make you irritated and stressed and simple chores and events seem to require complex maneuvering, extra effort or time. Additionally, you may have problems relating to siblings. They may have issues that need to be handled which they finally face at this time. However, if a sibling refuses to address problems, you may act on his/her behalf or completely withdraw from the situation.
Ultimately, this period is meant for removing impediments that block your healing and growth. If you’re not currently engaged in conflict, it may be on the horizon through a divorce or separation. Attempts at reconciling inherent opposites is at odds with the long term and ill-suited for your needs. Instead, a break from the past opens the portal for a new beginning. This might also include a painful process of recovery and healing from illness. Whatever the circumstance, you’re advised to examine your current situation closely to break free from unsustainable conditions.
The keyword for this cycle is perplexity indicating an entangled state and the inability to deal with or understand something complicated. The caution is to avoid an obsession or negative individuals who threaten your honor or reputation, but under a positive influence, advancement is your destiny.
