This lunation chart was drawn up at the exact moment of the Sun / Moon conjunction on January 06, 2020, it gives the “general” astral trends for the coming month mainly based on the Aspects and Signs of the zodiac.
This study must be nuanced by bringing it closer to your birth chart, and to your Transits and Progressions for Forecasts.
Think, to help you, to read my interpretation article of the New moon and Full moon in houses.
Big weight in Capricorn
The sign of Capricorn welcomes a powerful Stellium at the beginning of 2019, with its slow transits, this New moon is now framed by Saturn and Pluto ! In other words, values that are nevertheless quite violent, rigorous, and in part also destructive, on which is grafted the south node transit which reinforces the karmic aspect of what is at stake…
The Capricorns have really been extremely solicited these last years, and it’s still an umpteenth evolutionary figure of the deep transits which stirs this sign, even more since the entry of Saturn its ruler at the end of 2017 which really comes to “structure” in the present what pluto will have been able to raise in the longer term, asking powerfully to settle things of the past…
And precisely this new Moon can shed light on this process ! Not yet realize it, beacause it’s in any case a medium-term influence that acts as a backdrop, but it can allow an awareness of things that will have to be abandoned, or restructured, rather forcing this process into a groundswell…
It is difficult to say concretely what this will mean for you personally, it depends on where and how the Capricorn fits into your birth chart, but what is certain is that the energies brewed are very karmic and deep, their roots can go back a long way, maybe even for some at important turning points taken in 2008 when pluto entered this sign, it’s not impossible…
Here we are really at the beginning of the end of a great generational cycle, the previous Saturn / Pluto Conjunction dates back 37 years and took place at the time in Libra, in square with this one, this new moon marks in a way symbolically the beginning of this important work of the year !
We find in the rest of the configuration a square Mercury / Mars, which is not a guarantee of much calm either ! The planet Mars in home Aries is likely to create impetuosity, to require impulsiveness, nervousness, but Mercury also on the beginning of Capricorn is more in a logic of analysis, to take its time, wisdom, reflection, it can create a duality within the actions, a bit like a feeling to press accelerator and brake at the same time.
On the other hand, a beautiful Venus / Mars trine is gradually being set up, the planet Venus has a lot of energy to catch up with the Sun after its retrograde motion at the end of 2018 (New Moon of October 2018), which promises some quite passionate impulses, even if for the moment may be more underground, the Capricorn introversion weighing on all levels.
Apart from all the decans of Capricorn, it’s Sagittarius and Aries that will be valued by this lunation.
The full moon of January 21 2019 will see a lot of emphasis on the lunar nodes, the astral energies will begin to be quite tense, especially because of the rise of Mars in square attacking the beginning of the stellium, that is to say Saturn; Venus has had time to reach Jupiter now, in square of Neptune, the emotional energies can be very inflationary on this full moon, the cup will find it hard not to overflow…
