Last Quarter Moon in Capricorn 22nd March 2025 11.29 GMT

The energy of the Moon is waning from now on, and things may be slowing down, so this phase is all about decrease. It is the time to look at any blockages affecting you that you can deal with and let go of resentments, disappointments and frustrations that may be holding you back,.

Work to release them now to be clear for the coming New Moon.

As this Moon Phase is in Capricorn the focus of your workings are to look for and start removing any blockages that are affecting your Status, Reputation, Social Standing and Authority, all of which have an impact on your Career and Legacy. These are core Capricorn concerns and the basis of your work for this phase.

Look at what is holding you back and question why. Is it an outside influence that you have no control over, or is it because of your thoughts and actions? The list of Capricorn negative traits below can give you a starting point for your deliberations. They show the dark side of ambition, leadership and authority and need to be addressed to remove their power over your future and autonomy.

If there are outside influences affecting you, are there any traits in the list that you can see manifest in others that could be cause of your problems?

Knowing where the problems are based whether from a person around you or an organisation will help you to make changes. You can then decide your course of action; such as decide to work on the attitude of the other person, use legal means if necessary, or walk away. Knowledge gives you the power to make the changes needed to improve your situation.

If there are no outside influences, then you need to look at the list to see if you are manifesting the problem through one of the negative traits. Be honest with yourself, are there any changes you can make in your attitudes or beliefs? If so, this is the time to start working on them to remove or reduce the negative aspects from your thoughts and actions to improve your life and increase your success and happiness.

CAPRICORN Negatives:

Being Judgemental

In Capricorn’s climb to the top they can be judgemental of others, expecting the worst, being unforgiving of mistakes and even being a “know it all”

Be aware of any tendency to feelings of superiority and condescension. Those in authority can feel like they are the only ones with the knowledge and power, ignoring or demeaning the knowledge that others can bring to the table.

Work on being open-minded if you see this trait in you. If you are suffering from this attitude from others work on standing up for yourself, proving your competence and/or knowledge and skills and look to move away if possible.

Stubbornness

This trait has a few causes:

Being too conservative because of fear of change.

Being unwilling to try new ideas, techniques etc because things have always worked before.

Refusal to admit they could be wrong.

Being relentless in getting their own way.

Again, a time to work for open-mindedness in yourself, or look to move away from those who are unwilling to move forward in new ways or accept your input and needs.

Over-Ambition

Are you, or those you are interacting with in any meaningful relationship trying too hard or being unrealistic about whether you/they have the skills and knowledge to actually achieve the goals?

This can also be a sign of being materialistic, controlling, power hungry or being a “user”.

Hidden Insecurities

Sometimes an ambition can be a reaction to internal traumas, a way to heal or mask insecurities about lack, imposter syndrome, fear of the future and loss of security and stability and also wanting to be in total control.

The Tarot Card for Capricorn is the Devil, in the card he has people chained to his throne. He is the puppet master who controls them, but the chains that hold them are loose and they can remove them easily, they are allowing him to master them.

The Devil can be an outside influence, or our own fears and traumas. Either way we can remove his power over us by our own efforts. Knowledge is power and if we truly know ourselves, both our strengths and weaknesses we can work towards self confidence and standing at the summit of our achievements.
