Summary
This Capricorn period is comparably quiet, with only one aspect being formed. Although we will, as always during this period, find the world around us pressuring us towards duties and responsibilities we may not like, the support the Moon receives from her ruler Saturn will help to ensure that we can meet that duty with grace and resolve. You have the potential to accomplish a lot, and get a lot of work done in the world. Do the things you know you have to, and don’t shirk your duty to those around you.
We have the same issue this month that we did last time: Mars currently casts his ray (it is ahead in the order of signs) at the Moon from his detriment in Taurus. Don’t give in to anger, and don’t be stubborn. You may find events that are so irritable that you get so angry and can’t let go of it. Don’t let this get in the way of the work you’re trying to accomplish here.

Astrological Signatures
Entry: Sunday, February 7th at 3:51pm EST / 8:51pm UTC
Departure: Tuesday, February 9th at 8:20 pm EST/ Wednesday, February 10 at 1:20 am UTC
Moon in Capricorn: Detriment of the Moon. The Capricornian emphasis on duty, social cohesion, and work ethic tends to overpower the Moon’s emphasis on nurture and self-care. Outer events won’t conspire to make you feel emotionally comfortable; hard work and discipline will be asked of you instead.
Triplicity and Quadruplicity: Moveable Earth. Movability (cardinality) indicates short and quick bursts of activity that are cut short and not seen through as often. The Moon and our own moods, activities, and attention spans tend to flit from one thing to the next. The earth element emphasizes the physical body and propensity for work, and the Moon in an earth sign often expresses more practicality, groundedness, and a concern for the material world.
Moon’s ruler: Aversion to Saturn in Aquarius, but this is offset by the like-engirding or homozonias principle in virtue of them being in signs of the same rulership. This provides decent support to ensure that the Moon’s significations will ground and that the work done during this period will be long-lasting.
Relationship to the Sun: Aversion to the Sun in Capricorn. This is a neutral placement. Outer events will not, in general, conspire strongly against you to get in your way. However, they won’t bend over backwards to lift you up and support you either.
Aspect
Superior Earth Trine to Mars in Taurus. This is the beginning of a new aspect cycle. Internal frustration, anger, and irritability will be very pronounced. You will feel a lot of initiative towards changing your circumstances and pushing through resistances, but there will also be a great danger of burnout. The detriment character of Mars creates more potential for tension here. The earth element will put a lot of this challenge in the realm of work, labor, and the physical body.
