What this new moon is about

Capricorn is the cardinal earth sign of structure, patience, responsibility and long-term goals. A new moon here is well suited to plans you intend to keep: realistic, measurable and built to last longer than a burst of enthusiasm. The Sun entered Capricorn on December 21, and with the calendar about to turn, this is a natural moment to choose one aim for the year ahead and decide what the first month of it looks like.

The sky is unusually clear for this one. Saturn, the planet traditionally linked with Capricorn, stationed direct in Aries on December 23, four days earlier, and none of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter or Saturn is retrograde at the new moon. Mercury and Mars are both in Capricorn with the Sun and Moon, which concentrates the sign's practical, get-on-with-it mood. Venus is in Aquarius and Jupiter in Virgo. The Moon entered Capricorn at 2:50 AM Central on the 27th and moves into Aquarius on the afternoon of December 29.

What it means for each zodiac sign

Aries

This new moon sits at the top of your chart, in the tenth house of career. Choose one professional goal for the coming year and write down what you could do about it in January.

Taurus

Your ninth house of travel and beliefs begins a new cycle. Pencil in a trip or a course for next year and work out the first booking or enquiry you would need to make.

Gemini

The new moon falls in your eighth house of trust and shared resources. Agree a clear plan with someone for a responsibility you share, so the new year starts without guesswork.

Cancer

This new moon is opposite your sign, in the seventh house of partners. Tell someone important one thing you would like to build together next year, and ask for theirs.

Leo

Work routines, your sixth house, are reset. Design a weekday morning you could realistically keep to, and try it on your first working day of the new year.

Virgo

Romance and creativity, the fifth house, receive the seed. Commit to a creative practice with a schedule, such as half an hour every Sunday, and book the first session.

Libra

The new moon opens a chapter in your fourth house of home and family. Pick one home project for the winter and list the three things you need to begin it.

Scorpio

Your third house of conversation and learning is renewed. Choose one skill to study steadily, and set a regular time for it in your week.

Sagittarius

This lunation lands in your second house of money and self-worth. Set one simple, realistic intention for how you want to feel about your resources by the spring.

Capricorn

The new moon is in your sign, in the first house of self, with Mercury and Mars beside it. Write a single aim for your year and put it somewhere you will see it every morning.

Aquarius

Your twelfth house of rest and endings holds this new moon, with Venus in your sign. Use these quiet days to rest properly and decide what you will not carry into the new year.

Pisces

Friends and groups, your eleventh house, start afresh. Think of one community you would like to be more involved in, and offer a small, regular contribution.

A simple way to use it

1. Write one intention. Do it after 2:12 PM Central on December 27. One is enough.
2. Give it a Capricorn shape. That means a clear aim, a first step and a date.
3. Start promptly. Take the first step before the Moon moves into Aquarius on the afternoon of December 29.
4. Set a reminder. Plan to review your progress at the next full moon.
