On\u00a0Sunday afternoon (Jan. 2nd), at 1:33pm EST, <\/b>the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 12.5 degrees of <\/i>Capricorn<\/i><\/b>, <\/i>launching a new Moon cycle.<\/p>\n

There are three quick things I would like to mention before we get started:<\/p>\n

   New Moons are good times to reflect on our lives and set new intentions. This is therefore a good time to go within, to plant a seed for anything we would like to accomplish over the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond.<\/p>\n

   In Capricorn<\/b>, this New Moon directs us to reassess our relationship to power and authority. The next section of this forecast will dig into this in more detail — you may also want to watch my New Moon video<\/a> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

   The highest vibration of Capricorn<\/b> is self-mastery: the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, the ability to set realistic goals and establish healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work some more on these areas.<\/p>\n

   This is the first New Moon of the year, and since Capricorn<\/b> represents the quest for self-mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself <\/b>include:<\/p>\n

   What is my relationship to self-mastery? Am I going about things in a realistic way? What does \u201csetting healthy boundaries\u201d look like to me? What do I know about my own limitations? Other people’s? What are my priorities in connection with long-term goals? What does the word \u201cintegrity\u201d bring out in me? Where am I on the road to self-mastery?<\/p>\n

   As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments, and recognize responsibilities — in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner.<\/p>\n

   Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time — this is not about immediate results, it’s about the quality<\/i> of the foundation you are building.<\/p>\n

   Capricorn<\/b> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Ask yourself:<\/b> Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where am I not? What might I be afraid of when I don’t?<\/p>\n

   Capricorn<\/b> relates directly to the level of our maturity. Ask yourself:<\/b> What would taking 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved?<\/p>\n

   Do I respect the laws of matter? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? How committed am I to that?<\/p>\n

   Let’s talk about some of the aspects connected to this particular New Moon chart…<\/p>\n

   \n[wcm_restrict]<\/p>\n

   Let’s talk about some of the aspects connected to this particular New Moon chart:<\/p>\n

   The New Moon squares Chiron in <\/i>Aries<\/i><\/b> and trines Uranus in <\/i>Taurus. <\/i><\/b>Let\u2019s start with the Trine<\/i> (since it is closer in degrees):<\/p>\n

   Uranus always brings a certain level of creativity and reinvention to the table. Ask yourself:<\/b> How might new, fresh, and practical ideas create progress with my long-term goals? What is asking to be reinvented? Where might I find something unexpected that could change my connection to my inner authority? How about\u00a0with authority figures out there in the world?<\/p>\n

   The New Moon\u2019s Square to Chiron<\/i> could cause us to feel impatient and\/or triggered, so definitely bring as much compassion and kindness to yourself and others as you can muster — this is an opportunity to embrace our own humanity.\u00a0Compassion is key!<\/p>\n

   Ask yourself:<\/b>\u00a0Other than career and long-term goals, where could I channel my impatient “masculine” energies into something that satisfies me on a physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual level?<\/p>\n

   Jupiter re-enters the sign of <\/i>Pisces<\/i><\/b> on Dec. 28th, only 5 days before the New Moon becomes exact. It will stay in this creative, sensitive sign until May 10th, 2022<\/b>. Thus, it will be in 0 degree of Pisces<\/b> at the time of the New Moon \u2014> an exalted degree!!!!<\/p>\n

   Jupiter entered Pisces<\/b> for the first time last May, on the 13th (to be exact), and remained there until July 28th, 2021.<\/p>\n

   Think back to that time and ask yourself:<\/b> What was in the way of a connection to my inner divinity back then? What prevented me from slowing down? Turning inwards? Trusting my inner guidance? What have I learned about my intuitive knowing since then? Is there more to learn?<\/p>\n

   Jupiter squares the Moon Nodes in <\/i>Gemini-Sagittarius <\/i><\/b>in this New Moon chart:<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

   This Square invites us to take a closer look at our belief system and social-cultural conditioning, open our hearts, and make choices accordingly. We are asked to look for solutions that stem from a deep understanding of oneness and interconnectedness with all that is alive on this planet.<\/p>\n

   Ask yourself: <\/b>What road might lead to greater heart connections? What might open up if I became more connected to the part of me that is pure love? What if I took a 5% more positive attitude towards human life and all its paradoxes?<\/p>\n

   Here are some more questions:<\/b>\u00a0What might it look like for me personally if the deepest perspective shift was not political, or scientific, but spiritual? What might promote a spiritual perspective around my connection to all <\/i>of my surroundings? What am I aware of right now that would shift my perspective if I allowed myself to “feel into it”?<\/p>\n

   Given that it rules Capricorn<\/b>, Saturn’s placement in <\/i>Aquarius<\/i><\/b> plays an important role<\/i> with this New Moon. Saturn is associated with the Law of Karma, i.e. with the natural result of our actions — what we sow, we reap. In Aquarius<\/b>, Saturn invites us to focus on (and build) communities that are sustainable and self-responsible.<\/p>\n

   We are sovereign beings who have \u201cchoice\u201d. Ask yourself:<\/b> Where could I take 5% more responsibility for a choice I made?<\/p>\n

   What might I do differently if I knew for certain that all of my choices had social as well as personal consequences? Might I slow down and take more time with certain choices? Might I do the groundwork and be especially discerning if that meant I could make better choices that create more beneficial outcomes for everyone?<\/p>\n

   Saturn in <\/i>Aquarius <\/i><\/b>still squares Uranus in<\/i> Taurus <\/i><\/b>in this New Moon chart<\/i>. And this ongoing Square is asking us to find creative ways to stretch ourselves when we feel the pull between control and freedom, tradition and progress. It also promotes social, economic, and environmental reform. Squares involving Uranus always offer opportunities for major breakthroughs.<\/p>\n

   Ask yourself: <\/b>What if I could help birth a new age and with it a new world based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms that honor our bodies and the planet we live on? What if there were big, bold ways I could do that? What if there were small, simple ways?<\/p>\n

   We are continually invited to step up in the world and become mature, responsible planetary citizens while honoring our individuality — in other words, making a difference one by one, even when it seems as though we are too small to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small it may seem, every ripple moves something, changes something…<\/p>\n

   As best as you can, observe your mind<\/b>: What future am I focused on? How might “holding space\u201d for myself and others contribute to a better future?<\/p>\n

   Saturn in <\/i>Aquarius<\/i><\/b> sextiles Chiron in <\/i>Aries. <\/i><\/b>This combo presents an opportunity to connect with others and engage in a healing process that can bring progress in our various communities, maybe even worldwide — we are more powerful than we realize, especially when we come together.<\/p>\n

   Ask yourself:<\/b> Could I inspire others even if I let them see that I have vulnerabilities and I am human? What might become possible if I allowed myself to be both courageously vulnerable and committed to building sustainable collaborations that serve humanity?<\/p>\n

   Mercury enters <\/i>Aquarius<\/i><\/b> <\/i>less than 12 hours before the new Moon becomes exact. It will be in 0 degrees of this forward-thinking sign, also an exalted degree!<\/p>\n

   This reminds us that where we focus our mind is important — that our thoughts and words create our future — they matter! <\/i>Ask yourself:<\/b> <\/i>What thoughts and words might inspire a better future? What might become possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog and the energy those thoughts disperse?<\/p>\n

   Remember that\u00a0not all “change” is “progress”. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to look beyond the obvious.<\/p>\n

   I should also mention here that Mercury is already in its pre-Shadow phase<\/i> at the time of the New Moon. It entered this Shadow phase on Dec. 29th<\/b> when it reached 24.5\u00ba of Capricorn<\/b> and it will remain there until January 14th<\/b> when it comes to a halt in 10\u00ba of Aquarius.<\/b><\/p>\n

   For those of you who do not know what a pre-Shadow phase is, it means that for the next 2 weeks we will be traveling through territory that we will later revisit during Mercury\u2019s Retrograde phase.<\/p>\n

   From Dec. 29th – Jan.14th,\u00a0pay attention to what comes up around long-term goals, business interactions, and visions for your various communities, networks, and like-minded people. You may need to revisit certain conversations, ideas, or interactions for greater inner clarity\u00a0during Mercury\u2019s Retrograde phase (Jan. 14th – Feb. 3rd).<\/p>\n

   Speaking of Retrograde phases, Venus in <\/i>Capricorn<\/i><\/b>, still aligned with Pluto<\/i>, has gone retrograde<\/i> on Dec. 19th<\/b> and is therefore moving backward (as seen from the Earth\u2019s perspective) in this New Moon chart.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

   Venus in her Retrograde phase<\/i> invites us to reevaluate our long-term goals and business partnerships. It also invites us to connect internally to our own inner authority and sovereign nature.<\/p>\n

   Ask yourself:<\/b> Where do I need to be more realistic about what I have to offer the world? Where are my limitations? Are there any obstacles to achieving my long-term goals? If so, where are they? What is my relationship to \u201ccommitments\u201d? Responsibility? Self-mastery?<\/p>\n

   Do my internal commitments align with my values? How about my external commitments? Or the reality of my finances? Or setting healthy boundaries in my various relationships?<\/p>\n

   If you would like to learn more about Venus’ 6-week Retrograde phas<\/i>e\u00a0in\u00a0Capricorn<\/b>\u00a0and how this is going to impact you personally,<\/b> I recommend you get the mp4-video presentation “Venus Retrograde Dec.- Jan. 2021\/22″<\/i> — and see how it relates to your own Birth Chart.\u00a0To purchase this webinar,\u00a0click here.<\/b><\/p>\n

   Venus\u2019 alignment with Pluto<\/i> at the time of the New Moon, invites us to confront our fears and face our shadow issues as they pertain\u00a0to power and authority — our own, and other\u00a0people’s.<\/p>\n

   Ask yourself: <\/b>Are there any old ways of being that I need to shed? Anything that still feels disempowering to me? Where do I still look outside of myself for permission or approval? For what\u2019s \u201cright\u201d or \u201cwrong\u201d?<\/p>\n

   Who are my \u201cfavorite\u201d people to give my power to? This could be a relative or a friend, but it could also be a public figure or person with social authority such as a doctor, scientist, politician, news anchor, etc.<\/p>\n

   Where might it serve me to dig deeper? Dig clear to the bottom of things? Discover the root causes?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

   Where am I experiencing quick-fix responses or behaviors in my life? What would a real change look like? What needs to \u201cdie\u201d for something new and stronger (or more authentic) to be \u201cborn\u201d in its place? What fears are holding me back from making real changes?<\/p>\n

   Pluto’s<\/i> involvement<\/i> <\/i>could foster an all-or-nothing attitude over the next 28 days towards our long-term goals, or our standing in society — in fact, we might become obsessed over those things — and\/or it might bring up a fear of “losing control”.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

   It’s important to stay heart-centered and grounded — engage tools or people where possible, to help you let go of your fears and surrender to the power of your Soul that resides within you.<\/p>\n

   If you get obsessed about your accomplishments out there in the world, as best as you can, remind yourself to slow down and take breaks. Ask yourself: <\/b>Am I driven by fear or love\/passion? If fear, worry, concerns, etc. are present, could I simply acknowledge that experience?<\/p>\n

   Close your eyes, and ask yourself:<\/b> Is what I am afraid of real right here, right now<\/i>, or is it a projection into the future? If the\u00a0latter is the case, could I let go of “expecting” (or even in some weird way “wanting”) to create this future for myself?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

   Could I choose more powerfully? Could I choose a future that allows me to feel empowered, no matter what the circumstances?<\/p>\n

   To sum all of this up:<\/b> We are invited to direct our attention to what needs to change — individually and collectively. Change is not always easy, and sometimes it can be downright unpleasant, but it is necessary if we are to move towards a world that we want to live in and share with one another.<\/p>\n

   You could ask yourself <\/b>here: What kind of future do I envision for myself and for all beings on this planet? What realistic baby steps can I take to move towards this future? Where is it best to be flexible? And on the other hand, where must I remain focused and stay aligned with my visions or preferences?<\/p>\n

   This New Moon conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality and about our relationship to power or to “feeling empowered”.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

   Ask yourself:<\/b> What might I notice if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it?<\/p>\n

   This New Moon also calls us to stand for love, for truth, for unity. It reminds us that each one of us can be a powerful agent of change through our thoughts, words, and actions.<\/p>\n

   As best as you can, keep breathing, feeling, witnessing — and remember, we are all participating in an unprecedented evolutionary shift. We are divine beings living in a dense physical reality attempting to remember who we really are and what we came here to do.<\/p>\n

   Choose wisely for 2022 and beyond. Participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet, not from fear, but from the knowledge of your inner strength and personal power \u2014> the power of your heart and your humanity!\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

   This quote from Matt Kahn fits beautifully here:<\/strong> \u201cMay all beings be safe. May all beings be valued. May all beings be healed. May all beings be whole. May all beings be free \u2014 and may it begin with you and me. Please use this as a grounding tool and a centering mantra whenever hope feels lost. The world is ascending no matter how it looks in its transition from one paradigm to another.\u201d<\/i>
   \n[\/wcm_restrict]
   \nDo you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 10-15 degrees of\u00a0<\/i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries,\u00a0<\/i><\/b>or\u00a0<\/i>Libra<\/i><\/b>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in\u00a0<\/i>Leo<\/i><\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/i>Cancer<\/i><\/b>\u00a0(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).<\/i><\/p>\n

   The New Moon is also the\u00a0best time to set some powerful intentions<\/b>\u00a0for the month’s Moon cycle — and the very best time to do this is after the New Moon becomes exact (but definitely not during a\u00a0Moon void of course<\/a>).<\/p>\n

   So this month,<\/b>\u00a0there are\u00a0two<\/i>\u00a0best and most potent times to set intentions — the first would be any time\u00a0between 1:33pm\u00a0<\/b>on\u00a0Sunday,\u00a0<\/b>Jan. 2nd, and\u00a011:21am\u00a0<\/b>on\u00a0Monday late morning,\u00a0<\/b>Jan. 3rd — and the second would be\u00a0between\u00a0Monday late afternoon\u00a0at 5:44pm\u00a0<\/b>and\u00a0Tuesday early afternoon at 1:33pm<\/b>\u00a0(EST\/New York time).<\/p>\n

   If you live in a timezone other than EST<\/b>\u00a0(US East Coast time), and converting time zones isn’t your thing, I suggest\u00a0joining my Facebook Fan-page<\/a>\u00a0and\/or\u00a0following me on Twitter,<\/a>\u00a0as I post reminders when it’s time to set your intentions \ud83d\ude09\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
