The new moon is a time for fresh beginnings, renewed motivation, and an improved mental state and a unique outlook on life and your Soul. With 2020 rapidly approaching, I think we are all beginning to reflect back on the year and get excited for what is to come, and with the Capricorn energy growing as the moon begins to make a fresh debut in the sky, it’s time to point our toes forwards and plan ahead!
On December 26th, the new moon will be blessed in the sky, reigning in our fantasies encouraged by Gemini’s presence in the cosmos and turning it into the power we need to get working. The moon, like our future in 2020, is hidden and hardly noticeable in the sky during this phase of the transition. It’s symbolic of the slow descent we all face this winter, as we phase out of the blessings from 2019 and recover from the hardships, and throw ourselves into new opportunities.
2020 is full of promise, but as an Earth sign, Capricorn’s New Moon is promising us the importance of a stable foundation. Today, think hard about what you want to be your support system in 2020, and keep your thoughts objective towards the future. It’s all unknown, but our educated guesses at what to expect and where to place our efforts could make a world of difference.
The Solar Eclipse
On the same day as the New Moon’s presence becomes most powerful in the sky, there is an equally powerful solar eclipse. The Capricorn sovereignty over this solar eclipse shows that our responsibility will be boosted, and clarity will be our main focus. Using this wisdom that is heightened by the eclipse can help with your reflections of 2019 and your progress forward.
Finding Your Balance & Setting Intention
Much of Capricorn’s history of success comes from their determination. They establish goals and responsibilities firmly, and then stick by their guidelines and deadlines in order to stay systematically ahead of the game. The level of focus that can be achieved with this mindset is phenomenal, but hard for everyone to make habitual in their lives.
Capricorn’s energy this moon cycle will be strong, so you likely feel a lot of weight on your shoulders to wrap up the year strong, and begin the next even stronger. This is both a blessing and a curse, especially for many of you. You want to do well; but the journey towards greatness is a tough one, at times.
Here is where the importance of balance comes into play. Capricorn is a Cardinal sign, meaning it symbolizes the leader of winter, it’s a very secure sign in the Zodiac. Mutable signs struggle to follow in the footsteps of this form of energy, so tapping into your Earth placements in your natal chart can help you establish a strong balance.

New Moon Healing Checklist
As you step out under the Capricorn New Moon, take an inventory of your strengths and weaknesses, failures and achievements, and hopes and dreams. A good understanding of self is essential for this time of year, especially if you have a lot of Capricorn represented in your chart. Feeling a bit more subdued and quiet this month is absolutely normal, and can be a good thing since it helps promote an environment for deep thinking.
While reading the horoscope for the New Moon and upcoming year based on Capricorn’s energy and influence in our Soul, think carefully about these following questions and use them as a directive for deciding how to go into 2020.
- What new habits or growth areas have you developed in 2019 you want to continue improving upon in 2020?
- What mistakes or experiences happened in 2019 you want to leave behind in the New Year, and how can this New Moon help you do so?
- Pick out 3 goals you feel is achievable in 2020, and write them down somewhere it will be memorable to you.
- Think hard about the people in your life. Capricorn is a very selective sign, and it may be time for you to be selective, too.
- Ask yourself who you see staying by your side in the New Year, and what to do about those you feel distant from.
Each Sign & Their Reflection With The Capricorn New Moon
Since this is the very last New Moon of the year, consider this the first, solid stepping stone you get in your 2020 journey… but also a chance to say goodbye to some of the past pain and disappointment from 2019 that is clinging to you. This New Moon serves as a time for peace and reflection, a sort of purgatory between the old and the new. You exist here, even if only briefly, to collect your thoughts and create a foundation for the next year.
Take the time to think about 2019 and all that you have experienced. Reflect, reconsider, and recover your sense of self so you can better look forward to the upcoming year.

Long-range thinking is not the strongest area for a Scorpio; but as you look back through 2019, don’t let yourself fall victim to tunnel vision. Use your intuition and separate your feelings from what you need to share. Sometimes the restoration of a New Moon, especially with the strong Earth influence it carries with Capricorn, is the best time to unpack bottled up feelings.
