This time the new moon is on 9th Feb in Capricorn — Dhanishta nakshatra @ 26°

There is dominant Capricorn energy with this new moon with an aspect of Cancer. 1–4 natural zodiac is activated.

We have the Sun, Moon, the lord of Dhanishta nak Mars along with Mercury and Pluto in Capricorn.

Not just that, Capricorn is a combination of 3 nakshatra, Uttara Shada, Shravan, and Dhanishta…

All these are auspicious nakshatras in nature — making Capricorn, a significant sign for Karm and development in life.

Interestingly, all three nakshatra lords Sun, Moon, and Mars are together in Capricorn.

The king, queen, prince, and commander in chief of the zodiac are together among people…in the public zone.

Certainly, there is an important discussion and aspect of life, that needs such a key meeting and the goal is everyone’s well-being.

The aspect of all these planets is on the Cancer sign — the sign of our home, happiness, comfort, common people, and our roots.

Fundamentally, with such a concentrated energy in Capricorn, there can be over-emphasis on work, ambition, and achievement in career.

But check the Capricorn sign in your natal chart and what it signifies… that’s where this new moon is giving you results.

There is a strong drive of Mars, the structured intelligence of Mercury, and the power of Pluto to bring transformation.

This Capricorn Sun and Moon can aggravate some serious discussion with clarity in thoughts.

Capricorn represents authority, structure, and reality. Be prepared for a realistic reset and a new start from here

Don’t be surprised by any cold-hearted approach, even talks and expressions can be very practical…

But take complete responsibility on self. Capricorn is a self-made sign.

It is best to be grounded while handling any situation…and make sure you are kind to yourself first and then others.

Also being the 10th sign of the natural zodiac, this Capricorn new moon can bring some new opportunities to work upon, some new doorway for growth and finances.

With Capricorn, we can expect slow, steady but definite progress.

We have the nakshatra lord of Dhanista exalted in Capricorn so expect definite results.

We can expect some results of this new moon when the Moon is making a connection with Mars and Saturn around 15th February.

See, Saturn is in its own sign so; the general feeling will be very sensible and determined…we can be methodical to reach our goals…

This will be the best way we shall deal with nearly everything for the next 15 days, from this new moon till the next full moon on 24th Feb in Leo sign — Magha nakshatra at 11°

It can be very beneficial for us to use Capricorn energy for the next 15 days while dealing with any tough task.

To support this, we have the energy of Dhanishta…Dhanishta is richness of life, name, fame, wealth, abundance, and celebration…

It is a very auspicious nakshatra and represents joy in life, music, drums, and most importantly following rhythm.

There is strong power and influence of Exalted Mars with this nakshatra…

Dhanishta creates an opportunity to bring the resources of different people together….

It gives abundance but in a hard way…Capricorn Dhanishta will make you work hard for everything…

It’s best to follow old patterns and past experiences of life to handle any tough circumstances.

Saturn — lord of Capricorn is placed 2nd in Aquarius — it’s mool trikon sign.

So, we can gain something extraordinary with this Dhanishta new moon.

Mars is lord of the 4th and 11th house of comfort and gains for the Capricorn sign but not without some conflict or chaos.

Expect a new start in these next 15 days that we can cherish for a long time…

Saturn is Vargottam from here after almost 30 years…

We can see the results of this new moon, as the moon crosses Capricorn, and meets Saturn in Aquarius, on 11th Feb — @ 13.27°

And there are active planetary transits during this time…

On 13th and 14th Feb — the Moon will conj Rahu @ 24° in Pisces, also the moon will cross Pisces gandanta.

The same day, on the 13th Mars lord Dhanishta will conjunct Pluto, and also, the Sun will enter Aquarius making Saturn combust.

All these transits are together. Be alert calm and cautious around these days. Watch your actions and reactions…

There can be some relief and ease when on 15th Feb — when Moon will conjunct Jupiter @ 14° in Aries

We may have a new start with some happy event at some level in our life…

See, Aires has a combined connection of Saturn and Jupiter…till Jupiter enters Taurus in May.

Now Mars also aspects its own mool trikon sign Aries, Jupiter, and Uranus.

And now on the 15th Moon also joins them in Aires. Expect some positive long-awaited development here.

However small this happiness may be… with some actual event or in the form of some good news or something can be there…. to give us that feeling to celebrate.

Also, on the 16th Moon will conj Uranus @ 25° in Aries which can bring some surprise change or movement. 17th /18th Moon will be exalted in Taurus Then straight on 21st Feb — the Moon will be opposite Pluto @ 7° urging the most needed transformation at an emotional level.

Interestingly, the very next day on 22nd Feb — the Moon will be opposite to the conjunction of Mars and Venus in Capricorn @ 12°

This certainly indicates some development as the Moon crosses Cancer gandanta.

And we may have clarity, completion, or ending in the matter that started with Dhanishta’s new moon, with Leo’s Full Moon in Magha nakshatra @ 11° on 24th February.

Magha is connected to the throne, and power.

So, the finishing point is with gaining authority.
