All About The New Moon In Capricorn

We are four days away from a New Moon that closes one chapter and immediately begins another. This lunation forms at 29 degrees of Capricorn, a degree associated with completion, decision, and the moment when something unresolved becomes impossible to ignore. Capricorn does not deal in abstractions; it deals in structure, commitment, and the systems that support your life over time. A New Moon here does not float possibilities in front of you, it asks you to define what you want to build and to acknowledge which parts of your life have reached their natural limits. The questions that rise now tend to be practical, not theoretical. What are you willing to sustain? What needs a new foundation? Where have you been postponing a decision that has already been made internally?

The financial undertone of this New Moon is certainly not a coincidence. Capricorn governs long-term stability, and the anaretic degree demands our attention. Saturn, Capricorn’s ruler, exerts a steady influence throughout this lunation. Its contacts with Neptune and Uranus create a pattern that blends realism, intuition, and innovation. Saturn establishes structure, Neptune expands imagination without dissolving truth, and Uranus introduces subtle shifts that help you reimagine your resources in a more intelligent way. This is not the kind of energy that brings windfalls; it brings strategic insight, like the kind that helps you understand what is possible when you stop repeating patterns that limit your growth.

Venus enters Aquarius three days after the New Moon, and this change in tone is important. Venus in Capricorn taught you about loyalty, responsibility, and the value of showing up consistently. Venus in Aquarius shifts your emotional center toward reinvention, independence, and the willingness to approach relationships, finances, and desires from a more future-oriented perspective. It loosens the expectation that everything must follow a predetermined structure and encourages you to explore what connection and abundance might look like if you stop assuming they must fit an inherited mold. This becomes especially relevant because the New Moon is setting a foundation, Venus in Aquarius immediately asks whether that foundation leaves room for the person you are becoming.

Later in the week, Mercury begins shaping the narrative of this cycle. On Sunday, Mercury in Capricorn forms a sextile to Saturn in Pisces at 27 degrees. This creates a mental environment that is steady, coherent, and free of unnecessary noise. It helps you recognize which ideas deserve attention and which ones only distract you. Saturn adds a certain discipline to Mercury’s planning, while Pisces lends enough intuition to soften rigid thinking. This combination makes it easier to reflect honestly on your financial landscape, your habits, and your long-term goals. Decisions feel less overwhelming because Mercury and Saturn are working together to simplify what once felt complicated.

On the same day, Mercury forms a trine to Uranus retrograde in Taurus at the 28th degree. This brings a subtle but important shift in perspective. Uranus at this degree favors evolution that emerges through stability rather than disruption. It reveals opportunities that were hidden in plain sight and helps you consider unconventional solutions that still feel grounded. This may show up as a new financial approach, a workable idea for increasing stability, or a reframing of what abundance actually means for you. The trine keeps everything smooth, nothing jars, nothing destabilizes, but something undeniably widens inside your thinking. The question is, are you ready?

As the week turns, the Sun enters Aquarius on Monday, completing the transition away from Capricorn’s heavy, grounded emphasis and into a season that blends structure with innovation. Capricorn builds the container; Aquarius fills it with forward-looking thought. The Sun’s entrance here shifts your attention toward the future through possibility informed by the work you have already done. It encourages you to consider your goals through the lens of community, collaboration, and the larger systems you participate in.

All of this creates a rare alignment for financial intention-setting. Not because money becomes the focus of everything, but because your relationship to stability and potential is undergoing a quiet recalibration. The New Moon urges definition. Venus in Aquarius encourages reimagination. Mercury helps you articulate what you want to build. Saturn stabilizes your thinking. Uranus unlocks new pathways, and I mean brand new, The Sun then pulls everything into a forward-facing frame. This is the exact combination under which money rituals and abundance work tend to take root more deeply and sustainably.

Here is a ritual aligned with this transit and it is written to work with the New Moon’s energy, Venus’s shift, and Mercury’s pull towards honesty.

Money Manifestation Writing Ritual for the 29° Capricorn New Moon:

- Choose a quiet moment between Wednesday evening and Saturday morning, when your mind feels grounded rather than hurried. Clear a small space to signal to your system that you are entering a moment of authorship. Place a candle or any weighted object nearby, something that carries weight, like a crystal perhaps. If you enjoy working with oils, you can use rosemary for clear thinking, basil for prosperity, or cedar for grounding.

- On a blank sheet of paper, write at the top: “What I am building and why it matters.”

- Allow yourself to write in long, continuous sentences without pausing to edit. This is not a place for bullet points. This is a place for honesty that has shape. Write as if you are explaining your future to the future version of yourself, as in the one who already occupies the life you are describing. Explore the relationship between stability and freedom, between money and meaning, between what you want and what you are ready to support. Continue until something inside you shifts and you feel the truth settle. And please, take your time.

-Skip a line, then write: “These are the financial intentions I am ready to commit to:”

- List three to five intentions, phrased not as wishes but as realities you are stepping into. Let the language reflect readiness rather than longing. Once finished, place a single drop of your chosen oil on the paper, then fold it toward you three times. This symbolizes the movement of increase entering your life rather than drifting away from it.

- Keep the folded paper somewhere you will encounter it daily, inside a planner, under a candle you light in the morning, or beneath a stone on your nightstand. The ritual does not end when you fold the paper; the ritual becomes the repetition of seeing it, please allow this. Capricorn responds to consistency always.
