Using the Capricorn Moon Cycle for your work Goals

The Capricorn Moon phases create a year-long framework for aligning with your work goals and tracking progress at key benchmarks. Beginning with the New Moon in Capricorn on December 30, 2024, and concluding the day before the New Moon in Capricorn on December 20, 2025, this cycle encourages a structured approach to goal setting, reflection, and refinement.

During Capricorn season, the energy is ideal for defining ambitious work goals, particularly focusing on what you aim to achieve in the first six months of the year. The Full Moon in Capricorn in July 2025 serves as a peak moment to celebrate accomplishments and assess progress. As the year progresses and the Moon’s light wanes, the focus naturally shifts to refinement and clearing obstacles, ensuring you’re prepared to set new work intentions for the next year.
