The New Moon in Capricorn

Are you feeling a little bit more serious about your life and what you want to accomplish or how you want to live?

If you answered yes, you are immersing in Capricorn energy!

Filling us with the support we need to take the steps we want is the gift of this time of year. Whether you create ‘resolutions’ or not, you are being aided in manifesting new visions, dreams, needs, desires, goals, and intentions.

In the days before the New Moon, we have a powerful opportunity for healing. Outworn beliefs that are getting in the way of you being your most radiant and magical self can be released with greater ease.

And right now, with Saturn, Mercury, Pluto and Venus also in Capricorn you have a stellar support system ready and waiting to clear old debris, help you form solid intentional statements, offer the depth of ancient traditions, and the comfort of powerful love.

These are the ingredients of a magical new moon!

As your Inner Goddess connects with these energies during our retreat and on the new moon itself, you will receive something most magnificent: a reminder that you are a part of a divine and magical cosmos – one that is designed to offer the best kind of magic – unconditional love and healing from soul to sole.

Remembering this theme of unconditional love, particularly during Capricorn season AND while Saturn is transiting Capricorn for the next 2 years will, very simply, create greater sanity.

Capricorn energy is solid. It is what helps us build inner structures that withstand the test of time. It is also sensitive and needs nurturing in order to give its best.

Sometimes the gift of being able to critique something and make it better goes awry and ends up being overly self-critical (and sometimes critical of others). But the essence is really mastery and excellence – two things that make a difference in sustainable dreams and visions.

The New Moon is Tuesday at 6:17 pm Pacific time. If you look into the night sky right now, you will see a most magnificent crescent! As you move through the days leading up to the New Moon, you can use the visual to remind you that you are letting go and clearing the way for what you want to build, sustain, and enjoy.

What to consider in preparation for the Capricorn New Moon:

• How are your goals simple, real, life-affirming and attainable?
• What areas of your life are calling for more emotional maturity?
• Where are you developing more self-mastery?
• What areas of your life would benefit from more self-discipline?
• Which commitments are worthy of your time, energy, and love?
• How are you nurturing your dreams and visions?

At the 27º of Capricorn we connect with powerful energies of successfully navigating and ‘doing’ the ‘impossible’!

“A long mirrored hallway lit with candles.
Purpose gazes right down the middle and sees that the way is clear. The internal adversary lurks under, around, and through things and is supremely doubtful of everything you see and know. This only provokes the purposive one to become higher and mightier, more commanding and domineering–which in turn incites the adversary to more radical sabotage by denying your own worth in a savage fashion. Each side pushes the other over the edge. You are karmically at a crossroads, trying on for size strong selfhood and its inevitable shadow of pervasive doubts and negations. Learning and discovering arduously how to stay with yourself, even while going against oneself. And thereby outlasting the adversary, and proving that one can do the impossible, even when one is one’s own fiercest critic and hardest-to-impress audience.”[1]

We are ready to embrace the magic of this new moon!

Balsamic Moon Phase is Monday and early Tuesday.

This will be the day to release and remove any obstacles that have stood in your way of being your most radiant and divine self.

As you know, we are profoundly connected to the lunar cycles and every New Moon is an opportunity to refresh.

The day before the New Moon (the Balsamic Moon) is a day to go deep within and ready oneself for a new start. Releasing old patterns of beliefs is a vital component and one that can be done with more grace during this phase. Your ‘shadows’ are clear. You will want to release anything standing in the way of your deepest desires. Creating a list is a helpful tool that relieves your mind of the need to remember – getting it out ‘on paper’ is part of the magic you can do for yourself.

Whether you have a belief that is still rattling around in your mind or a habit that is entrenched, you have an opportunity at the New Moon to let go and let your Inner Goddess guide you to what is more nurturing, more life giving, and better for you.

Imagine that the door to living a more magical life opens with three keys.

• Listening to what surfaces prior to the New Moon the first key.

Healing energy flows through each New Moon. You can experience transformational shifts by following the authentic path revealed through personal astrology. Specific star-themes support your journey by creating a deliciously detailed container that serves as a chalice from which you can drink the metaphoric healing waters.

• Locating the New Moon in your chart is the second key and one that is unique to each of us.

As you prepare for the New Moon Celebration, connecting to your Source is vital and this conscious action empowers you to create sustainable and practical magic.

Your Inner Goddess is a WISE™ teacher. She knows how to identify, cultivate and nourish the creative life force flowing through your body. She knows how to support you from the inside out.

When we gather together in the Virtual Temple, we gather with a circle of empowered women, women who are honoring ancient rhythms and cycles, women who are living in today’s world, and women who believe in the power of the Mystery.

• Connecting with your Inner Goddess and gathering together amplifies the healing energy of the New Moon and is the third key that opens the door to a life filled with more magic and joy!

Every New Moon celebrates a re-birth of Feminine Wisdom – your own natural intuition, intelligence, and insight.

We have room in the Virtual Temple if you’d like to join us! Please email me for more detailed information! denise@deniseelizabethbyron.com
