Timing: The Moon occupies the sign of Capricorn from Wednesday the 24th at 12:16am UTC to Saturday the 26th at 7:07am.
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: The Moon is conjoined her ruler Saturn in Capricorn. This provides great support to ensure that the Moon’s significations will ground and that the work done during this period will be long-lasting. On its own, the Moon-Saturn earth conjunction can contribute to the negative self-talk present with any configuration to Saturn. Feelings of duty and obligation will be strong.
Aspects
Inferior Moveable square from the Sun in Leo. This indicates a lack of flow and lack of harmony between your own moods and desires and the environment and circumstances with which you are provided. You will hit roadblocks in enacting your will, and find that what people around you want and what your intentions are do not coincide.
Inferior Moveable square to Mercury in Libra. Conversational flow is strengthened, and interconnection with other people is more likely, though it will take more legwork on your part to access it. Thinking is less clear, and it is easier to make bad decisions..
Superior Moveable Square to Mars in Aries. This will create strong amounts of tension and frustration. Pushback from other people will be strong, and internal negative programs can become quite loud and intense. I would recommend wearing moonstone or bloodstone to offset some of the difficulties of this transits.
Conjoined Jupiter in Capricorn. This will bring in more emotional buoyancy and optimism than is normally the case with the Moon in Capricorn, but it will be have trouble competing with the mars square and Saturn conjunction. It will keep these other too aspects from becoming too severe.
Summary: There are a lot of issues during this period with productivity and accomplishment. Three squares and a conjunction to Saturn do not bode well for easy success. You may find yourself really wanting to get a lot done, do a lot of work, and make things happen but having repeated trouble doing so. Roadblocks, obstacles, writer’s block, and all kinds of things will surface during this time. However, the conjunction to the Moon’s ruler does indicate that if you stick with it, you can still make something happen and overcome the obstacles during this period. Just don’t expect it to be easy.
