A Capricorn New Moon urges us to aim high in our lives; personal, professional, emotional and spiritual. Its energy is a strong motivator for the creation and patient cultivation of our plans and desires. Set your intent, begin small projects and gently tend to them while patiently waiting to see positive results by the light of the corresponding full moon on June 28th.
"Hold on, Amber, you mean we have to wait six months"?
Yes, my friends, you do. Utilize that time span to refine your plan, take small steps toward your goal and even allow yourself to explore options and alternate avenues. Capricorn energy includes persistence. Remain calm. Conserve your energy. Prepare to take action when planetary energies shift and your plans take flight!
What can you do during that six month development period? Work on your personal balance and alignment. This can be done in a variety of ways with varied approaches. The following suggestions may be helpful as you utilize Capricorn influences and turn within, make sensible decisions, keep commitments, use opportunities as they present themselves and express gratitude for your accomplishments.
Honor any personal, family and hereditary traditions. Recall family histories, revisit moments of your life that brought you to where you are, learn about the cultures that have shaped society and especially those that run through your own veins.
Capricorn New Moons are supportive times to connect with important male figures in your life and for balancing the yang (masculine) energy that lives within us all regardless of gender. Promote balance within yourself to carry into the new calendar year. If relationships with males in your life are strained, this is an opportune time to create and perform a personal ritual of forgiveness and release.
Work with crystals! This new moon phase is an powerful time to work with crystals and gemstones. The sign of Capricorn is often associated with garnet, black onyx, smoky quartz and lapis lazuli. Have you ever used gemstone essences? If not, perhaps look into purchasing one (or more) to try or research how to make your own!
Fifteen years ago I learned a useful tool to employ during new moons - making ten wishes. These wishes are best made during the fullest power of the new moon; during the first eight hours after its exact timing (the new moon on January 16 occurs at 6:17 pm PST) though wishes can be made for up to 48 hours. The Capricorn new moon energy will only be around for two days, however, its energy will carry you through to the Leo Blue Moon on January 31st. Think about all the things you need or want in your life and make your wishes accordingly.
Welcome! Here, ancient wisdom stirs beneath the surface of modern life, where each Tarot card is a portal and every story holds magick. We will explore holistic well-being, metaphysical mysteries, and the glistening edges of the esoteric and paranormal. Along the way, I offer fragments of my life, small truths, strange turns, and quiet wonders. Through interactive journeys with books and decks, this space becomes an unfolding conversation. In the end, we are all myths; we are all stories.
