The New Moon in Capricorn (January 2, 2022 at 10:33am PST) will remain in effect until Tuesday. It is timely at the start of this new year, as the New Moon represents beginnings and possibility, where planting seeds for the future hold extra generative energy. The energy surrounding this New Moon reminds us to tend to our emotions while integrating the structures that we’ve built and heavily rely upon— financially, in our relationships, and in our daily routines. Don’t ignore your emotions or try to find ways out of dealing with them. You have the willpower now to manifest and create what you desire. Just remember to release the grip of control and surrender to your needs by letting others nurture you as you nurture them in your genuine deeds of commitment and loyalty to them. Your success is dependent upon your wellbeing, so set goals now towards healthy habits that will carry you throughout this new year.
As the moon transitions out of Capricorn and into Aquarius, it is a good reminder to leave our private concerns for a moment and tend to the community. Find a place where you can be of service and set plans to grow something new for the benefit of the collective. There are allies within these networks that will support you in your vision. Collaboration and detailed planning will help you achieve your great aspirations and goals to unite the sacred in daily living throughout this year and years to come.
The Moon is conjunct with Venus, Pluto, and Mercury. In Venus, this signals an excellent time for relationships, whether you’re currently in one or seeking new love. The Moon in Venus allows us to be comfortable with our sensuality and expressing our amorous feelings and affection in our romantic partnerships. It is also reflective of our passions and pleasures and how we experience them. In the New Moon, it is a good time to reflect upon what lights our fire and helps us feel luxurious and content. Take the time to make your living space sacred, feminine, and romantic. You could consider using crystals like rose quartz to help you open your heart and let the love flow in all aspects of your life, and especially into the watery realm of your emotional needs.
As the Moon is conjunct with Mercury, remember to watch your words. You can use the power of Venus to soften your communication in your romantic relationships into a poetic and passionate affairs of lyric, rhyme, and story now to express your love, your passions, and your affections for all things that you feel amorous towards.
The Moon conjunct with Pluto may temper your amorous feelings and ability to tap into your nurturing, feminine, romantic side. If you’re feeling limited, use the Moon’s conjunction in Pluto to examine your Shadow self in relationships. Where do you have room to grow? Perhaps you can use the energy of Mercury and the feminine warmth of Venus to help you craft your words carefully, with softness and intention, authenticity and honesty. It is okay to reveal our weaknesses. There is an opportunity for immense growth when we face our Shadow and write down what we see.
