Capricorn New Moon 2021

The New Moon on 13 Jan, located at 23ºCapricorn is conjunct Pluto, the symbol of death, crisis, loss and grief. At this time the cases of COVID-19 are still increasing in Europe and this new Moon may suggest that more people face a life-or-death situation. Especially in UK, Ireland, Spain and Portugal which have Chiron near I.C in the new Moon chart. 

With Mars conjunct Uranus in Taurus square Jupiter, Saturn in Aquarius, the conflict between Freedom and Security; old traditions and new ideas; different generations or races will become more intense. The dispute about the role of social media and big tech companies is also related to this set of aspect.  The conjunction of Saturn and Uranus was at the end of the 1980’s, around the time of the eastern European revolutions and so Saturn square Uranus may indicate further development of those events.

The new Moon also aligns with the fixed star Peacock (24 ♑︎06 ) in constellation Pavo, this is related to Argos, in Greek mythology he was the hundred-eyed giant who guarded Zeus’s lover Io and was killed by Hermes. This may suggest some people face danger in their duty. Open your eyes and be cautious.
