What Each Zodiac Sign Can Manifest With The First Quarter Moon In Capricorn This Week

Welcome to the Eclipse Portal and the window between worlds. The two-week window between eclipses is an intense time of transformation as it brings the ability to jump timelines and choose a different life path. Anything becomes possible, and things can shift in unimaginable ways. Within this auspicious unpredictability comes a reminder that you are always in charge of your fate and must consciously choose your divine path.

In the week of October 16, the First Quarter Moon rises in Capricorn, made incredibly intense by occurring in the eclipse window. The First Quarter Moon on October 21 brings up obstacles or challenges associated with the intentions you set on the New Moon, which in this case was the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra, which occurred on October 14.

It helps bring events in your life to a moment of needing to choose what to pursue and often who you want to become. In Capricorn, you are more grounded and logical, but you must also remain aware not just to choose the path of least resistance but the one that beckons to your soul.

The First Quarter Moon in Capricorn peaks between October 20 – 21, making this a potent time for your intentions and rituals. Focus on choosing the fate that you want to create. Let yourself embody the belief that the universe is already conspiring to bring you all you desire while bringing an earthly logicalness to your choices. This is a moment where you can choose the future over the past. However, it must be yours.
