“Intuition or impulse?”
Sunday’s Capricorn New Moon is tightly conjunct Mercury and Mars, sharpening our thinking and intensifying our drive. We may feel impelled to push too hard or act too fast, yet this lunation calls for focus, restraint, and careful discernment between our intuition and urges.
The Tarot Majors associated with this New Moon include The Devil (Capricorn), The World (Saturn rules Cap), and The Sun (rules Cap’s 3rd decan). This decan also holds the familiar tension between the eager and hasty Knight of Swords and the cautious and protective 4 of Pentacles. Together, they tell a story of finding confidence and joy through responsible action. Progress comes not from recklessness or rigidity, but from recognizing vulnerabilities and choosing commitment over compulsion.
The Sun and Moon meet in the Mastery Sabian expression in Capricorn 29 - A woman reading tea leaves. This symbol speaks to stillness, intuition, and discernment. The future doesn’t need to be forced, it reveals itself through subtle signals when we slow down enough to listen.
The I Ching activation falls in Hexagram 60, Limitation (line 3), which warns against excess freedom and self-pity alike. Healthy boundaries are required now, not to restrict others, but to protect your own energy and integrity. This changes into Hexagram 5, Waiting, which also cautions against premature action. Patience is an active practice and can prevent unfortunate missteps.
Use this New Moon to set clear, realistic boundaries. Tune in, notice subtle signals, and trust your intuition…without rushing to act. What’s meant to last will unfold in its own time.
