We'll see the last one on December 30th at 11:30 p.m. CETthis year – a very rare Black Moon. The second new moon within a calendar month will also beBlack Mooncalled, and as such it amplifies the typical energies of a new moon. This new moon inmarks a powerful moment of new beginnings and a rare and magnificent opportunity to reflect on the past year and shape the year ahead with clear, disciplined goals.

This new moon is particularly suitable for experiencing profound transformations, letting go of the old and making room for the new. Of course, this energy is heightened by the fact that it takes place on the penultimate day of the year and on the cusp of the New Year. Because the new moon (and the sun) is in the sign of Capricorn, it emphasizes the importance of taking practical steps to realize our visions. This phase requires more than fleeting desires - it requires serious, purposeful intentions based on self-control, discipline, pragmatism and structure.

Get out of your comfort zone!

A new moon in Capricorn is a good time to focus on goals, intentions, and practical steps toward long-term success. Here's the thing: Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, emphasizes discipline, responsibility and resilience. This means: Now is not the time for larifari castles in the air and fleeting wishes, but rather a really great opportunity to make hard, uncomfortable decisions that are also outside of our comfort zone and focus on sustainable success.

The Capricorn New Moon asks us to set concrete, long-term goals, create stable foundations for our growth, and focus on the practical steps necessary to realize our visions.

Reflection and realignment

If this all sounds stressful, remember that this is also a time for reflection, reflection and reframing. This can be fun! It is a powerful opportunity to end the year with clear, concrete goals and intentions, to let go of old things and to reposition yourself for the year ahead. What do you want to leave behind in 2024? What are you looking forward to in the new year?

What you should and should not do in the days around the new moon:

The second new moon in December 2024 is particularly suitable for this

Build patience into your desires and goals.Success doesn't happen overnight, and this phase of the moon reminds us to trust the process. Capricorn teaches us the importance of waiting for the right moment to invest in the future. This is not a time for impulsive actions, but rather for strategic, well-thought-out steps.

Set and formulate clear goals.Capricorn energy supports a structuredand realistic goal setting. If you have a goal, how long will it take you to achieve it? Do you set intermediate goals for yourself? What obstacles might arise? What is your plan B? How many days a week will you work on it? At what time? Be as specific as possible.

Set priorities.Capricorns are great at that. Ask yourself: What is really important? Of course you can choose 15can be grasped, but three are realistic. What are your top 3?

Cut back diseased plants.Particularly favorable on new moons.

Skin and hair care.With so much hard mental work, you shoulddon't forget. Peelings, dry brushing, wraps, hair treatments and detoxification baths are particularly popular on new moons because they work better than usual.

This is something you should avoid around this new moon

Judging too harshly.Even if you haven't implemented all (or even one) of your resolutions from last year: so what? You can always start again. The Capricorn New Moon invites you to reflect on the past year, how you have changed since the New Moon in Capricorn in January. This is an interesting time to go back to the resolutions you made back then and to soberly and without blaming yourself assess what has happened since the start of the calendar year.

Neglecting your inner voice.Unlike the full moon, which brings everything to the surface, every new moon is about turning inward. The New Moon wants you to hear your inner voice, no matter what it is trying to tell you. Maybe she's telling you that these aren't really your goals, but someone else's? Whatever it is, listen carefully.
