Astro New Moon in Capricorn
11/01/24 @ 11:58 GMT
All Hail & Welcome to the first Astro article of 2024. A very happy New Year to you all. I hope you spent it well & in good company. As we begin a new year with a new moon, it seems the best time to set some serious annual intentions as well as those we set for a more fluid manifestation on a monthly basis. This month we have a Capricorn New Moon, so we will need to harness some of the energies of the sign of the sea goat who can climb mountains to gain a higher perspective & dive deep into the oceans of the mind.
New Moon is a time for setting our intentions within a new phasing of our beautiful celestial satellite. New Moon phase signals the ending of one cycle & the beginning of another moon phasing in a different astrological sign. This month we end the Sagittarius cycle & begin the Capricorn cycle. The energies of Capricorn reflect cardinal earth energies which we can harness to create & visualise our intended manifestations for the future we so desire.
At New Moon, the Sun & Moon align in the same sign, conjunct. As this is the first lunar phenomenon of the year, sitting nicely in the sign of goal oriented Capricorn, this lunation indicates a time of goal setting & deep seeking into what we wish to harvest later on this year. As a cardinal sign, Capricorn likes to get things going. By setting our intentions for what we wish to manifest, creating attainable goals that will open up a pathway leading to those desires, we will be in full Capricorn mode. First the idea, we play with it until we can visualise it. Then we use our powers of foresight to envisage the pathway which takes us there, by setting goals that will lead us step by step toward that end. We must put the work in to reach the goals that lead us to where we wish to be. Finally we can visualise ourselves in our new lives with our manifested intentions, living that life. All along this route we must live the life we desire by doing the work to becoming that wonderful new version of ourselves. Its in the doing & becoming that we find ourselves acting our lives out in the way we have intended. A vision board is always a great way to envisage & begin the year.
Focus is the general tool which helps us to decide which adventures we will embark on this year. Using tenacity, being resourceful & staying disciplined are also Capricorn qualities which are very useful for attaining our goals. In addition, Capricorn asks us to embody ambition, foresight, conscientiousness & our inner wisdom. All play a part in harmonising Capricorns’ offerings to us during this moon phase. All are given freely for us to begin our journey in a positive manner. Capricorn New Moon is also a time in which we can go head on into serious life sort out, finding the order we need to create solid foundations to reap what we sow later in the year or toward Full Moon.
All Moon phase signs bring us various lessons & Capricorn will be teaching us to accept rational boundaries, made or placed are there to offer us the free reign we need in our lives, giving us independence & true focus on what needs to be done.
Planetary influences
We have a couple of rather good alliances this phase.
Mercury goes direct! This occurred on New years day, so we may have been feeling the New year hangover was a little more mystifying before clarity came to us.
Pluto loosely conjunct Sun & Moon in Capricorn - Pluto the planet of transformation & renewal offers us the chance to get to the bottom of where we are & how we wish to move forward.
Uranus in Taurus Trine the luminaries - strong intuitive hits, feeling of moving forward/ on, healthier relationship with transformations. Brings us an equilibrious connection to Pluto to enable the New moon Capricorn energies of new beginnings.
Its all good for now, so thumbs up & crack on!
Thank you so much for joining me on the 1st cosmic adventure of 2024. Please join me again for Astro: Full cold Moon on or near 23 January 2024. Until then I wish you very Merry new beginnings.
In gratitude, love, light & all betwixt
