New Moon in Capricorn

Today is the longest night and the last New Moon of the calendar year is around the corner.

I don’t write a lot about working with the Moon anymore, though it is forever significant.

Our New Moon in Capricorn on the 23 will be joining Sun, Mercury, and Venus which makes the energy high in workings around communicating and setting desires into the year ahead.

General Offerings and Hymns can be found here, whereas the Moon is in Depression in Capricorn, the phase of the moon can be asked of and recognized.

Moon doesn’t enjoy the constriction and pressure of emotions that create melancholia from Saturn, though this is where great things can be created.

The year that we have had hasn’t been easy + often times we cannot move forward until we reflect and grieve.

In turn, begin with your reflection, and what you would like to lay to rest, whether this is fear, doubt, or loves lost this is a wonderful time to honor the love that creates these feelings.

You may not find satisfaction in letting go of these things and some, you will continue to carry. Depending on your self-awareness you will know or over time you will develop to notice where these parts of you are.

I don’t want to call them lessons, because I don’t believe that they are. Under the guise of ‘life lessons,’ we lose so much of who we are…we’re all dealt things that are easier for us to process and things that are more difficult to process, and this is of us & to us—often not knowing when we will need something only to prematurely discard it.

Therefore, when sitting in you, when you feel a tugging at something you are ‘just over’ ask yourself why, ask yourself if it is yours, because if it belongs to you—you are not meant to discard it but to find what it needs, what you need.

This work itself helps when you know your chart and how the coordination of you witnesses each other. To get into this space you will do your basic trance work. As always don’t push yourself beyond where your practice has led you, and your hereditary praxis will always be more in line with opening this space. 

Don’t forget to bathe before, and it’s the perfect time to pull your yearly tarot (12 cards, 1 per month), either tonight or in the presence of the New Moon.
