Moon Transit in Capricorn

Capricorn belongs to Saturn, who stands neutral to the Moon. Chandra passes through in about two to three days, and Saturn's earthy house cools the Moon's flow. Feeling turns practical during the passage.

Capricorn governs the knees, career, duty and structure. The Moon in this sign sets the mind on work and obligation. Warmth is harder to reach for these two days, and long tasks that need patience move well now.

The nakshatras are Uttara Ashadha, Shravana and Dhanishta. Uttara Ashadha, under the Sun, opens with results that hold. Shravana, under the Moon, is the most receptive stretch and suits listening, learning and the spoken teaching. Dhanishta, under Mars, closes with drive and public effort.

Gochara counts the Moon well in the first, third, sixth, seventh, tenth and eleventh from the natal Moon. Capricorn, Scorpio, Leo, Cancer, Aries and Pisces Moons receive it in those houses. Gemini Moons meet Chandrashtama and should keep the day simple. Aquarius Moons carry it in the twelfth, where energy runs low.

Two days of a Capricorn Moon show a person the weight they carry by choice. Duty taken up freely tires the body far less than duty taken up from fear. Naming which is which does the work of the passage. Keep the knees warm and the hours regular.

• Listen more than you speak during Shravana.
• Finish one long task that has waited on patience.
• Give black sesame or warm cloth on Saturday within the passage.
