Cosmic Tip & Expectations of New Moon in Capricorn:

• (Saturn, the planet of restriction), can bring some very fine traits if we develop along with it. The Saturn cycle is related to maturing and to the wisdom gained from experience. Used in a positive manner, Saturn can help develop stability, strength of character, self-discipline, and the ability to organize and structure our lives and our experiences. When we avoid developing these important traits, Saturn transits often bring difficult periods that lead or force us to develop them. It is possible, with constructive Saturn in Pisces Retrograde, the sign of imagination, to make dreams come true for oneself or others.  Frequently, the deepest need of the human heart if for understanding, a factor that cannot be included in the architect's plans for a clinic, school, or nursing homes. Understanding begets compassion, which in turn begets service—a sure antidote for the loneliness and self-pity of negative Saturn-Pisces effects. 
  

• Saturn is the natural ruler to Capricorn & the 10^th House of--career, the occupation, professional accolades, sphere of influence, your professional reputation, standing in the world, credit, status, honors & awards, fame & fortune, test of your position, authority figures, superiors, a father figure, domineering person with influence over you professionally, business success, advancement in the career, a promotion, recognition for your natal talents & skills regarding your career. The 10^th House is where the MC is located on the top of your natal chart, highlighting success and your professional endeavors. 
  
  
• Saturn is considered (the greater malefic). Saturn is pure reason, the eternal thinker, the symbol of truth and reality. Saturn is the taskmaster, the paymaster, Lord of the Earth, the timekeeper and preserver. Tends to be dry, positive, cold, and crystallizing. This is the planet of lasting rewards, the tester, the self-developer, returning both the good and the bad. He gives back to you exactly what you put into your life. Saturn's placement in your chart shows where you need patience, persistence, and the courage of stick-to-it-ive-ness. Saturn is mature, disciplined, and is considered malefic. Saturn's influence adds limitations in your path, including restrictions, for there are unintended consequences if you fail to be compliant with your responsibilities.
