NEW MOON at 23°13 CAPRICORN
January 13, 2021| 12:01 AM EST
This month's new moon in the practical, determined and achievement-oriented sign of Capricorn is conjunct Pluto, and in this case, that's actually a good thing because it adds a sense of focus, power and resourcefulness to it.
As the natural ruler of the 10th house, Capricorn rules the life areas of career, fame, authority figures, achievements and honors. If you want to climb the ladder of success, enhance your reputation or make a name for yourself, you definitely want to tap into this new moon energy.
On a different note, since Capricorn also rules life direction, if you've been uncertain about where you should be headed, now is the time to ask for clarity.
There are two caveats to this new moon. First, since there are no other aspects to it besides the conjunction to Pluto provoking action, self-motivation and conscious activity on your part will go a long way in helping your new moon intentions to blossom.
Second, there's a good chance that this new moon energy will feel a bit explosive because of some of the accompanying planetary energy. More specifically, there's a fiery Mars-Uranus conjunction in Taurus that's likely to react badly when it encounters resistance from the level-headed Saturn-Jupiter-Mercury conjunction in Aquarius.
Looking on the brighter side, Uranus is trining Venus, which means the day could bring some unexpected love or money into your life.
