Astrologer Colin Bedell says:
Mastery is a practice, a process of devotion and a commitment to striving, not arriving — a concept Capricorn embodies better than any other sign. Ruled by Saturn, the planet of time and discipline, Capricorn teaches us that mastery isn’t achieved in leaps but in careful, deliberate steps. Like the slow erosion that shapes a mountain or the patient crafting of a masterpiece, Capricorn reminds us that the process itself is sacred. This New Moon invites us to embody this wisdom, to find fulfillment in the effort and to trust that the small, consistent actions we take today will one day create something extraordinary. It’s not about arriving at the summit but about becoming the person who is resilient and brave enough to climb it.
Over the last sixteen years, Pluto in Capricorn reshaped our understanding of mastery by forcing us to confront the urgency and speed of modern life. In a world driven by instant gratification — overnight shipping, one-click purchases and the endless rush to produce — Pluto exposed the cracks in systems built on speed without substance. It taught us that shortcuts often lead to instability and that true Capricorn wisdom lies in rejecting the allure of haste. Now, as Mars retrograde in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius, we’re invited to reexamine the role of power, passion and will in our pursuit of mastery. Mars retrograde slows us down, asking us to channel our energy more intentionally, while Pluto in Aquarius challenges us to think about how our personal ambitions align with collective evolution. Similarly, Mercury, freshly direct in Sagittarius and opposite Jupiter in Gemini, encourages us to reflect on the stories we’ve been telling ourselves about progress and success. Are they rooted in wisdom or in the excesses of unrealistic expectations? Together, these transits ask us to integrate Capricorn’s steady climb with the boldness of Mars and the expansive curiosity of Mercury and Jupiter.
This New Moon, free from Pluto’s transformative weight, invites us to integrate these lessons. How can we approach our goals with more care, resisting the pull of urgency in favor of deliberate, sustainable effort? The answer lies in Capricorn’s steady climb, reminding us that mastery isn’t about getting there fast — it’s about getting there with integrity.
