New Moon in Capricorn 11th January 11:57
Full Moon in Leo 25th January

The Capricorn energy of this New Moon calls for our commitment to grow and to meet our potential. It is time to get serious about what we feel we need to achieve. Capricorn will not allow us to be beaten by a tough time or to give in to fear of inadequacy. This New Moon is calling to our need to ground ourselves, to steady our steps and focus on where we want to dedicate our energy. This cardinal energy is determined to DO. Action is demanded to achieve our goals and to make peace and joy grow in our lives.

Capricorn is symbolised by the goat with the mermaid’s tail. This speaks of the wisdom which has been gained from other places – though Capricorn is an Earth sign, it has learned from the water signs the wisdom of compassion and sensitivity. Our intuition is keen, ready to be harmonised with intellect in the pursuit of our goals.

The Moon in this sign is illuminating our need for growth and achievement, and of positive, encouraging, challenge. The goat is strong, but nimble too. This energy is strategic and wise. It allows us to adapt to adversity through taking quick thinking, smart, action. Under this Moon, we assess where we now stand and see the craggy path before us which must be navigated. Nerves are alert with excitement. How far can we now climb? We see that the potential we hoped for, now has a realistic prospect of success. Steps will not be taken without just enough surety, just enough indication that all will be well. Of course there is risk. Variables too. But with each step we take from the intentions set under this New Moon, these risks have been weighed carefully, kept in check.

Capricorn’s ruling planet Saturn, sits at 4 degrees Pisces. This softens the severity of this guidance and allows for a more compassionate and gentle moment of teaching. This placement is supportive, parental. Under the energy of this New Moon, there is acceptance of new beginnings being created, blessed with encouragement and the acceptance of change. Patience is also being offered. The harmonious trine between the Moon and retrograde Uranus in Taurus is illuminating the ground shaking changes that will soon be coming our way. The intentions we set under this New Moon, the small steps we can commit to now, will empower us all to prepare for these changes to be positive in their influence over our future. You can now see the steps ahead of you which will lead to liberation and joy. You are in control of where you go and how high you climb. This New Moon is calling you to recognise how much power you have and to inspire you to use it to make a positive and important difference.

Also influencing the character of this New Moon, is a square to the North Node in Aries. This is alerting us to what has been holding us back and focuses our attention on breaking through strategically rather than following old impulses. To make the most of this energy, set intentions based on what is real rather than how you immediately perceive things to be.

The chart, as a whole, speaks of deeper lessons learnt and a higher level of self-discovery. The planets span from Sagittarius to Taurus. Collectively, and on a humanitarian level, this is promising. It shows that lessons will be learnt and new beginnings will have a foundation of greater understanding. What no longer serves us, can be left safely in the past. Together, we can move forwards, compassionately, looking out for one another as we challenge ourselves to grow towards the light of purpose which shines in our future.

Guided Meditation.
Like a tree, you stand on solid ground. Notice as your roots expand beneath you, securing you like an anchor to the earth which holds you steady. And as your roots grow and fan out, they are enlivened by the energy stored in the earth. It flows back to you, up into your body. You feel the energy moving upwards and encouraging you to reach up and climb. Higher and higher, steadily you grow, inch by inch, reaching for the open space above you. As you reach up, to the clouds and the vision of the world you are dreaming of above you, you feel a deep and sound sense of connection to the earth beneath your feet. There is ease of flow between the new beginnings ahead of you, and the fuel of past experience which lies at your feet. Stretching yourself out now, you are able to support those who grow around you. Allow the warm sense of peace and hope to flow through you. Up from the roots of learning to the branches you have extended, up to the light. And in turn, the Sun and the breeze breathe new life into your leaves at the top which is carried back through to your root system, invigorating you. You are enough. You are growing. Steady and grounded, supported and rooted in love, you are reaching up to your higher potential…
