New Year, New Moon, New You

On January 2, 2022 at 1:33 pm, the Capricorn New Moon offers all of us an opportunity to plant a seed of growth and intention for the new year ahead.

The New Moon marks the beginning of a new lunar cycle, and is a period of time when the moon is completely dark in the sky. No light from the Sun is reflected off her surface.

In astrology, the moon represents our unconscious mind and emotions, and the sun represents our conscious mind. The total darkness of the New Moon offers us an opportunity to go deep within to connect with a place that can be felt, but not seen. Some may call this our intuitive mind, our nature, our instinctual self, or our true self. It doesn’t matter what you call it, it’s quite accessible at the New Moon.

The New Moon is a great time to make space to be alone with yourself and connect with your intuition. I like to journal at the New Moon and come up with intentions for soul growth, the deep kind of growth that doesn’t happen overnight. The kind of growth the universe guides us toward over the course of our lifetimes. And the kind that can be boosted with a little extra intention and self-reflection at pivotal times like the New Moon.

Capricorn Energy

The first New Moon of 2022 is in Capricorn – a cardinal earth sign which carries a very strong energy to initiate new things, and the discipline and practicality to accomplish that which you set in motion. Whatever area of your life is ruled by Capricorn is a very serious area, where you must do your work alone, follow the mature path, and put in the time and effort to develop mastery.

Making friends on the spiritual path.

Let’s face it. The spiritual path can feel lonely at times.

Our soul journeys require us to break from our past, develop a sense of individuality, and differentiate from the harmful interpersonal, familial, and societal influences that no longer serve us.

These soul journeys require us to get clear on what we DO want in our lives, and to silence our inner critic that tells us that achieving our dreams is not possible.

Our soul journeys ask us to remember that we have the power to create our own destiny. They ask us to grow that power consciously through our daily practices and self-development.

Our soul journeys require us to be ever-present, fully conscious, and aware at all times so that we can stay in tune with our own physical, mental, and emotional needs, and aligned with our vision for our future.

While tuning into our own needs and getting in touch with our souls can ultimately provide us with the greatest source of comfort and security we have ever experienced, it can also feel lonely at times.
