"To pry for hidden things, to smell out riches hidden in the veins of the earth -- these skills will come from you." Manilius, 1st Century
This New Moon is in the super tenacious cardinal earth sign of Capricorn at 2 degrees (34 minutes). The very best qualities of Capricorn rise now -- fierce perseverance, dedication to what matters, commonsense, strong character -- to root into the depths of your being.
The Sun-Moon are both square to big jolting Uranus in the fire sign of emerging life Aries. The fresh turf you land on may startle you, even as it's wildly energizing. What settles and where you settle can be wholly unexpected.
It's holiday time, to unwrap surprise gifts, that may first appear as losses, but that guide us to the most fertile ground. My friend down under likes to say, "Let's see what presents." In this time of giving and receiving presents and our presence with family and friends, be alert to surprise discoveries. Pathways present themselves that look very promising, stable, nourishing and settling.
It's a relief to hone in on what's most important. The discipline and self-control of Capricorn squares off with Uranus to blast out embedded riches from your original essence -- this is a recipe for finding your way, and being excited by the future. Lucky Jupiter is the cherry-on-top, with a trine from Taurus that stabilizes what's emerging and becoming established at the New Moon.
