Pluto meets the Sun in Cazimi, seated in the heart of the solar fire where a planet is briefly purified instead of burned. This is concentrated weather for power, depth, and what will not stay buried, not background noise.

*New Moon in Capricorn
lunation
New Moon in Capricorn: plant one real intention around structure and earned authority.
Read the full reading
The sky goes dark in Capricorn, and that is not emptiness. It is the month's reset around structure and earned authority. New Moons are the inhale: the seed is underground, but the body already knows.
This New Moon asks you to build what will still stand next year. Do not renovate your whole life overnight. Pick one sentence you can repeat for two weeks and let the feeling arrive before the spreadsheet does.
Deep dive
Think of the weight you chose to carry. That image is the architecture under the mood. New Moons in Capricorn reward honesty about desire, not performance about ambition.
Gravity and hope: if the intention still matters at the Full Moon, it was real. If it fades, you just saved yourself a longer detour.

*Full Moon in Leo
lunation
Full Moon in Leo: visibility and heart reaches the surface. Look without flinching.
Read the full reading
The Moon fills in Leo, and Full Moons do not whisper. Whatever you built around visibility and heart is visible now. You may get clarity, or you may get the bill for what you kept semi-dark on purpose.
Use this Full Moon to separate completion from theater. Celebrate what is actually ripe. Release what only looked finished because you were tired of carrying it.
Deep dive
Keep the light you refuse to dim nearby. Full Moons in Leo expose where you stayed loyal to a version of the story that no longer fits your spine.
Illumination is information, not indictment. What you integrate now becomes usable strength by the next New Moon.
