The new moon arrives the day after the new year, ushering us into a place of deep reflection and planning for the future. At 10:33AM PT, this morning, the moon is emptied in the sign of Capricorn. Here our new moon seeds are planted alongside the underworld voyage of Venus. Located at the 12th degree of Capricorn, this new moon brings us close to the point where Venus will station direct at the end of January. This lunar cycle promises crucial development in our relationships and desires.
Each year, the Capricorn new moon gives us an opportunity to connect with our ambitions and goals. What are you steadily working towards? Capricorn is the home of earthy Saturn, and here we look to build sturdy foundations worthy of providing structure to our lives.
We are now prompted to reflect on what structures and commitments are worth keeping and which are holding us back.
Amidst the Venus retrograde, we may be questioning our satisfaction in our love lives. Or perhaps we realize we have disconnected from our pleasure or sacrificed our desires in order to reach a certain goal. We are able to see these situations now more clearly for what they really are. Venus is offering us an opportunity to discover what has gone missing.
When we are able to reconnect with our desires, we are propelled towards reaching our goals. At the heart of this lunation, we are seeking to refresh what has grown monotonous.
If you have felt yourself going through the motions in a certain area of life without clear direction, this lunation is a great time to check-in.
The new moon trines Uranus in Taurus, giving us the ability to flow towards positive changes and adjustments. This is constructive earth energy, which offers us real and tangible results. We are able to go within and make room for what we truly desire, whether it be big or small. Take a moment to reflect on where you feel tied down in life and how you can change that. 2022 begins with a call for feeling more freedom and truer to yourself.
