The New Moon of December 21st has five planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Pluto, and Venus) and an asteroids (Vesta) in Capricorn. This collective is square to Uranus, Astraea, and the South Node (all in Aries). Uranus and Pluto are square less than one degree apart (15 minutes) having recently completed the exact square on December 14th. The level of emotion, most likely in the form of anxiety or anger, will likely be at fever pitch. Violence is possible, even likely. Arguments are nearly certain.

Capricorn moons are notoriously unforgiving at best.  Both Hitler and Adam Lanza had Moon in Capricorn in their birth chart.  (Researching this article, we found this fun link.)

This new moon occurs only shortly after the Winters Solstice.  Here is the chart for the moment of the solstice:

We note that Saturn is in the final degree of Scorpio in both charts.  This particular time is likely best spent in solitude planning for the new year.  Another good use might be in something productive such as sculpting in clay.  (Avoid use of sharp tools to sculpt due to the potential for injury.)  The possibility exists that a skilled healer MIGHT could help a group work through negative emotions at this time.
