New Moon in Capricorn

New Moon in Capricorn

Denise Welling
The moon is on her way to being new this Friday December 23 in the earthy sign of Capricorn at 4:17 am CST. New moons occur every month when the sun and moon are in the same sign at the exact same degree; in astrology this is known as a conjunction. For this particular lunation the sun and moon will be conjunct at 1 degree Capricorn. New moons are the perfect time each month to make wishes and set new intentions. The day before the new moon, Thursday December 22, is known as the dark moon. During a dark moon our psychic vibe is on high so Thursday would be the perfect time to meditate or give yourself a tarot or oracle card reading.
