We will do well to pause and consider today before following through on our inspiration and confidence. Today’s sense of freedom may very well be quite intoxicating and encourage an impulsively directed course of action or pursuit. If we can take time to pause and consider, we will be able to recognize whether or not we have laid the proper groundwork in order to move forward effectively. Certainly, some limitation or restriction is lifted today. However, if act too quickly or base our decisions on some kind of fatalistic or nihilistic belief that our actions don’t matter, our confidence may dissipate. We may quickly find ourselves down a rabbit hole of distraction and uncertainty.

We’re in the womb of a Capricorn new moon, with the baby moon bringing big emotions to the surface. Capricorn is the sign opposite Cancer on the zodiac wheel. Cancer is ruled by the moon, which represents our ever-changing emotions. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn.

In Capricorn, the moon is distant from its natural state. It isn’t easy to express emotions or let them flow freely. In this sign, there can be a tendency to compartmentalize emotions, or they can manifest as being cold, steadfast, and pragmatic. But as the moon conjoins Jupiter overnight and sextiles watery Neptune in Pisces this evening, it should be easier to loosen up. Emotions are growing, flowing, and taking root.

Capricorn is a cardinal sign that initiates, and there’s a sense now of holding magic beans, like those from the story about Jack and the beanstalk. What you initiate—the seeds you plant—could seem to magically grow larger than life. Let your roots go deep.

On a surface level, this is a very sensual, luxurious energy. Let the music and good times flow.
