The December 30 Capricorn new moon—a bonus second new moon this month—brings a burst of energy to help you crush your EOY goals, or get an early start on your 2025 resolutions.
Ready to wrap up the year with a giant velvet bow? On December 30 (at 5:27 PM EST) the month’s second new moon, in Capricorn, delivers success-boosting beams.
We realize it’s the 11th hour and you have holiday soirées to attend. That’s more reason to stay nimble and pivot if a better strategy presents itself. This is high-achieving energy incoming, so best not ignore if the inspo hits. Whether it’s to elevate your image, connect to mentors or start hammering out long-term plans, this is your opportunity to finish the year strong and start the next one with some structure (a Capricorn specialty!).
Efficiency is the name of the game, but you know what’s not? Wearing struggle like a merit badge. What can you delegate and outsource to get the job done? You can drop the solo act because this cardinal earth-sign energy supports systems and those work best through collaboration.
While you’re coordinating transportation to all of your NYE events or getting a gem-encrusted manicure, try visualizing where you’d like your career to be six months from now. Can’t-stop-won’t-stop Capricorn loves the hustle, but this new moon helps you radar in on work that’s worthy of your time and energy.

Careful not to be all work/no play, plus some astro sidenotes
The Capricorn new moon is like a strong tailwind to help accelerate your plans, but not at the expense of celebrating the traditions of the season (also a Capricorn specialty!)
Because this Capricorn new moon follows one that opened the month (on December 1, the Sagittarius new moon), any fresh ideas you had then that didn’t launch will feel ready for takeoff at this second new moon in the sign of ambition. (This second new moon in a calendar month is called a black moon; blue moons occur when there is a second full moon in a calendar month).
Quick reminder, too, that the last Mercury retrograde of the year, which ended on December 15, is throwing shade (retroshade, that is) until January 2. You might want to wait until then to tap play on your plans, but you’re encouraged not to delay designing them at the Capricorn new moon. These prestige-boosting lunar lifts practically guarantee that your dreams take shape, bringing material world success as a reward for your tenacity.
Make some romance resolutions
The Capricorn new moon kicks off a fresh six-month cycle (until the corresponding Capricorn full moon on July 10, 2025). Tap into the planning powers of this new moon and write down your relationship and romance resolutions for the next six months.
Make your love goals measurable and actionable. For example: “I will swipe right on a minimum of one person a day for the next month,” or, “I will coordinate a weekly date night on the shared calendar before January 1.” While actions like these are the opposite of spontaneous, they provide a necessary structure to keep you in Cupid’s court!
