Thursday night's New Moon eclipse opened a new time of exuberance energy and generous grace. Now we need to figure out where and how to channel all that power, to create something meaningful. The Moon moves into Capricorn Saturday night, ready to take the helm and set a course into the world that awaits us.

In Capricorn, the Moon partners with Earth and Water planets to build strong foundations, while putting the brakes on Fire planets and asking Air planets to provide detailed schematics for those beautiful but potentially unworkable ideas. The Capricorn Moon focused on practical strategies to move forward, willing to work hard but only when the goal is clear.

Saturday night, the Moon squares off with Uranus the revolutionary, while flowing energy in sextile with Chiron the mentor and joining with grace-filled Venus. The tendency to look before we leap is held in check, while we seek wise advice and creative inspiration. Very early Sunday, the Moon trines Jupiter, seeking good fortune and solid support.

Sunday's aspects include a series of positive connections that can show us exactly what steps to take to reach our goals, and shower us with good luck as we begin. Over the course of the day, the Moon makes positive aspects with the Sun, Pluto, Mars and the North Node, with the Pluto and Mars connections being especially strong.

Meanwhile, Venus and Jupiter, the two planets of good fortune, form a flowing trine that showers good things on those who work steadily and responsibly.

Monday morning, the Moon forms a semisextile with retrograde Mercury, reminding us to check the details, and then check again. No point in spoiling the outcome by missteps now as the building blocks are set in place. The Sun and Pluto connect today, building confidence as we continue transforming.

The Moon's last classical aspect in Capricorn is a square to Saturn––a challenge, yes, but Saturn rules Capricorn, and both welcome challenge. This is where we're asked to stand up for our goals, and prove we know what we're doing. This opens a void of course time that lasts eight hours, through Monday evening and into the early hours of Tuesday.

During the void time, the Moon forms a semisextile to visionary Neptune, bringing dreams, perhaps, of how our goals might be realized in the future. The Moon enters Aquarius very early Tuesday, bringing visions all her own. First, we have several Capricornian days to buckle down and get busy, feeling confident we're on the right track.
