Are you looking forward to this New Moon in Capricron, I certainly am. I have really been able to ride this Capricorn wave and am feeling more focused than I have for some time. Mars in Capricorn is an excellent ally to help ground my usually flighty, distracting energy and set some goals I have wanted to achieve into motion, which this New Moon will help solidify.


For those of you who missed it, I have created a full 2024 Astrology Calendar. It covers all the major astrology dates, including Lunar phases, eclipse dates and all dates for planetary sign changes. You can download it here:




In the back ground I have also been super busy pulling together my upcoming free intro to astrology workshop and the subsequent 10 week “ Charting the Basics” immersive interactive beginner course, designed to help you learn the basics whilst diving into your own astrology chart. There will be more information about this coming soon.

This is the beginning of our New Moon Cycle for the year so I do encourage you if you feel inclined to really use this to focus and set your intentions on what you would like to achieve for the year. There will be some big shifts, and one of the main ones, Pluto entering Aquarius on the 20th, happening very soon. As with any outer planet shifting signs, it will affect us both personally and collectively. I will offer much more about this shortly, but this is a significant transformational energy shift in an air sign. We are moving from a more introspective and passive phase into a more extrospective and active phase.

So in honour of this wonderful earthy Capricorn energy, which is one of the most forthright, practical and steadfast signs of the zodiac, hardworking, determined, strong and ambitious, use this New Moon to tap into this lunar energy to strategise, plan, prepare and plant the seeds for whatever you want to see grow in 2024.



The New Moon in Capricorn occurs on the east coast of Australia at 10.58pm on the 11th of January and will occur at 20 degrees Capricorn, so look to see where you have between 17- 25 degrees of Capricorn in your chart to glimpse where you may be able to invite and activate this energy. Cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer Libra and Capricorn will also be most impacted.


This is the first New Moon of the year, making it extra special for setting intentions and getting into action. This a special time for really embracing all those wonderful qualities of our earthy cardinal Capricorn energy and seek ways in which we may want to set intentions around how we are executing our discipline.

If there are habits we want to change this year, this New Moon in Capricorn is a beautiful time to set the intention for change and access the wells of inner discipline within to enact the change we wish to see. We can really meditate on where and what changes we would like to see in our lives and how we will access and utilise the discipline to do so.

Being a New Moon in an Earth sign, I love to write these intentions out, bury them in the ground, and plant seeds over the top. The blossoming of the plant becomes the physical reminder of the intention set. It can be mighty powerful to watch that plant grow.

However, be reminded that we can often put a lot of pressure on ourselves during heavy Capricorn transits, pressure to set resolutions, achieve goals, get moving, doing all the things. As much as we can use this energy in this way, it is also a time merely to think about the changes we want to make, to set intentions perhaps without placing too much undue pressure on ourselves.


With Uranus in the mix of this New Moon, this is all about doing what is right for you, not what everyone else wants for you and being the Moon we are working with, it's all about how you are feeling. So perhaps one of the intentions to set is as simple as thinking about how you want to feel in the year ahead.

With Mars, our planet of action, also in the sign of Capricorn, our will is certainly more directed toward aligning our ambitions with purpose, tapping into our inner strength and wisdom we have acquired over the years and finding the goals that resonate most deeply with who we are at our core. We can think about how we would like to achieve that which requires patience and long-term vision and aligns with our growth and soul happiness.

One of Capricorn's key qualities and lessons it can teach many of us is the utilisation of accessing and working with boundaries. Creating safe and healthy boundaries that help nourish your soul is often elusive for many of us, preferring to “ give in” to others' demands rather than pay honour to our needs. Therefore, this is an excellent time to work with the concept of boundaries in your life, how you would like to integrate them more concretely into your life and what you may need to do to make this change.

We have extra help during this New Moon from a lovely harmonious aspect from Uranus in Taurus making a trine to both the Sun and the Moon. This energy will allow us to interact with our goals, think outside the box, try new approaches, and access the goals that help us align with being our most authentic selves. This energy will allow us to accept change more gracefully.

This is a beautiful alignment for focusing on personal growth and liberation, especially about practical, grounded daily life matters. We can now explore how we can break free from limiting beliefs again to be aligned with our most authentic version of ourselves.

On a mundane level, with Uranus being in Taurus in harmony with this Capricorn energy, we also find opportunities to gain positive ideas or insight around our material and financial resources and again to find ways to break free from self-imposed limitations around these themes.

Saturn the ruler of Capricron also comes to the New Moon theme in a couple of ways. To start, Saturn in Pisces will be in harmonious aspect to both Jupiter in Taurus and Mars in Capricorn during this New Moon.  This energy gives us extra impetus to build a strong foundation for whatever goals we want to enact. The duality of Jupiter and Mars in earth signs combine well for doing groundwork, setting secure intentions, and building strong foundations, but also for integrating compassion with determination.

There is an extra reminder to focus on such themes as we also have the Sun and Moon in a semi-square aspect to Saturn, which is a nuanced interplay of energy at this time that asks us to find ways to integrate balance, structure, playing by the rules, with compassion and empathy. This energy reminds us to pursue our goals with integrity whilst always being mindful of our actions' effects on others.

Overall I feel positively about this New Moon and its invitation to harness change within, to think about how we want to feel, how we would like to grow, what foundations we need to put in place, what boundaries we may need to honour and how we can embrace the new that is coming.

As we harness this last New Moon for the year, it is a perfect time to think about what we would like 2024 to hold for us. It will be quite a year with some significant astrological shifts that I will be commenting about soon. Meanwhile, embrace this end of Saggie Season too.


If you are interested in what 2024 holds for you specifically, I am taking bookings now for early into 2024. It can be an excellent opportunity to learn how to consciously ride the waves coming your way, to help you prepare and ponder on what questions the Universe is asking of you now.


The New Moon in Sagittarius occurs in Australia, Easter Standard Time on the 13th of December at 10.32 am. This New Moon holds powerful Sagittarius energy as we have the Sun, Moon and Mars in Sagittarius. Being a New Moon is a brilliant opportunity to harness themes of expansion opportunity and to integrate the wisdom we have accumulated this year into ourselves as we step forward into the year ahead. This New Moon allows us to take stock of how our belief structures have or have not served us. How have we navigated the path we have walked down to arrive at our version of the truth?

Sagittarius energy is a lot about faith, faith in the Universe, spirit, whatever you like to call it, that gives your life meaning and direction. Saggie energy being about faith can enable you to embark on a new path with confidence all will be okay. We can tap into this New Moon energy to integrate something new; it offers a chance to incorporate new philosophies into your belief structure that will take you forward positively and upliftingly. Look to see where 20 degrees of Sagittarius is in your chart to gauge what area in your life is asking for new philosophical perspectives.

With the ruling planet of Saggitarius, Jupiter being in Taurus, it could be an opportunity to set some new intentions around how we think about and how we utilise our financial resources. This could be an excellent time to set new financial goals for ourselves.

Daily life can lead us to spend most of our time concerned for the mundane areas of life. Still, this New Moon, with so much Saggie energy and with an aspect from mystical Neptune in the mix, asks us to ponder how we may be able to view our philosophies with new eyes, how we can learn, grow and evolve. Where can we expand our philosophical and spiritual truths and practices ? What do we believe is possible for us that we may not have dared believe was possible before? Sag loves to learn, explore and expand our awareness, so this is very much what is being asked of out right now: to push ourselves beyond our comfort zones in the hope that we will find an enlightening part of ourselves we may not have known existed. Where do we need to be philosophically and spiritually courageous? The Sun and Moon are in a harmonious aspect to the North Node, which can offer us some real opportunity for growth in these areas on a soul level.

However, we need to be careful with Neptune here to be wary of where we may also deceive ourselves, where we may be wearing our rose-coloured glasses too much and not seeing reality for what it is, so this is worth being aware of. Where could we be deceiving ourselves in these areas as well? Where might we need more practicality rather than just blind faith and belief? With Neptune playing a significant role during this New Moon, we may be wise to question whether we are really being honest with ourselves.

On a more mundane level, this is an excellent time for some blue sky brainstorming and defining our big picture goals for the upcoming year. We can use this time to actively meditate on what you want to manifest for yourself in the upcoming year. Again, with Neptune in the mix, it is worth considering what is realistic and what may not be realistic.

This is a brilliant time for dreaming and thinking about what is possible whilst waiting for the Sun to move into Capricorn later in the month, which will allow us to start making plans to bring our vision into reality. With Mars in Sagittarius as well, this is very much a time to think about how we would like to actively participate in our lives, how we would like to prepare for opportunities that come our way, and where we should feel more comfortable about taking new risks, learning new things, allowing ourselves to grow and evolve.

But lets not also forget this is also a time to allow ourselves to have some fun. With the World being in such a dark place, many of us are feeling an overwhelming collective heaviness. This New moon is a reminder that we should still look for light, especially when life is dark. Its ok to let our hair down once in a while and celebrate with loved ones, to hold those who are dear to us, close to our hearts and celebrate the good we have whilst we have it.

I hope this New Moon brings you all ou wish and hope for.

So, we have made it to the second last Full Moon of the year, where we are offered a chance to release of all that we wish to leave behind before we step into 2024. The last few months have been pretty intense with the eclipses and oh-so-many retrograde planets.


The energy is lifting now, where we take all we have allowed ourselves to immerse in and begin to process our learning. The themes for this Full Moon are very much around how our thinking affects our beliefs, how we use the information we have gathered throughout the year and especially the last few months to consciously release any pent-up anger or confusion before moving forward.

I have also created my free Gemini Full Moon workbook, which goes into additional detail about how to work with this Full Moon and includes questions for reflection, affirmations and some rituals to work with. An extra focus for those of you who may have your natal moon in Gemini: there is a special section included just for you.

The Gemini Full Moon occurs in Australia on November 27th at 8.16 pm Australian Eastern Time.

This Full Moon is an excellent opportunity to take all we have learned over the past few months and acknowledge, shift, sort through the information you have acquired and sort through what thinking, thought patterns or beliefs you now know you no longer need, you are ripe to release before we head into the New Year.


A brief warning, though, as buoyant as Saggie Season is, this Full Moon may have our energy levels feeling a little scattered, like we are not too sure where to land or what to focus on. With Saturn in a square aspect to the Sun, Moon and Mars, we may feel edgy a little discombobulated, and there is a risk of our emotions perhaps being a little tricky to access and harness. This is also due to Lilith's passionate and firey appearance during this Full Moon. On the upside, Saturn can possibly help us to reign in some of the usual excesses that can come with both Saggie and Gemini energy.


As we explore the Sagittarian Gemini Axis, we are reminded of the power of perception and the importance of accumulating, integrating, and absorbing information to shape our belief systems or philosophical backbones that ultimately shape our value systems and life choices.

This Full Moon emphasises how we choose to use the information we now have in front of us.


Feeding our higher mind is the realm of Sagittarius, but collecting the information, to begin with, is in Gemini’s court, so this is an opportunity to bring both into balance, to explore where we may be too big picture blue sky focused and lacking detail or conversely where we spend too much focus on the minute details of life, not allowing ourselves time to free fall into blue sky ideals. Both are needed.


We can now explore how the knowledge we have accumulated this year has served us, or otherwise, as the case may be. Have we learned things that have helped us grow, and how can we integrate it into a platform to launch from as we approach the New Year?

We can use this Full Moon to really focus on these themes and especially release and let go of any thinking patterns that no longer serve us.


Themes of learning may arise now, too. As adults, we can be scarred by how we experienced learning in a traditional education environment: it can lead us to hold onto beliefs about how we learn that may hold us back from pursuing new educational experiences.

If there is something you have wanted to learn but have been afraid of the process, this is an excellent time to consciously let that fear go and embark upon a new frontier of learning.

The Square to the Sun, Moon and Mars in Sagittarius from Saturn in Pisces could possibly help us consolidate and bring some structure to ideas around these themes, but it could also bring up some fears and barriers we might need to work through still. With Saturn in the mix of this Full Moon, we may be confronted directly with fears. Let's sit with this for a few days either side of this lunation and shift through what might be holding you back.


When discussing Gemini, we must mention the fine art of communication. Relaying information, getting messages across and making ourselves heard and understood by others is all in the realm of Gemini energy and with Mercury the ruling planet of Gemini, also in Sagittarius, we can harness this time to think broadly about our communication needs and goals. Are we being understood by others? Do we listen to understand or are we thinking about what we will say next, not taking the time to hear what the other person has to say?

Do you need to communicate some specific messages to others as part of your business? Is it being embraced, heard and responded to or not? This can be a great time to think about our communication goals, styles and responses to others and to think about letting go of traits, habits or styles that may not serve us in this regard.


Both Gemini and Sagittarius energy is mutable, meaning it is adaptable, flexible and well-able to embrace change. Change can be difficult for many of us, and so this is a time where we can think about what changes we may want to make in life, what changes we resist and what we fear around change. This can be an excellent time to let go of any nuances that may prevent us from embracing the change we know we need or the change we would like to see in our lives.


Overall, however, this is undoubtedly a more harmonious and workable Full Moon compared to some of our more recent lunations. This is a great time to have more fun, to access your inner child, play, let go of heaviness and find the joy of the holiday season.
